Day 7 - The Doors

One of the really great features of working out at home and to familiar routines, is that you get to improve your workout each time, and begin to master it. (as opposed to taking 1/2 the class to learn the routine). Having done Burn It Up a ton of times, I know the routine by heart and can now work on fine tuning the moves.

Yes, people have commented that they get bored with the same routine. I hear ya. Which is why I have more than one Beachbody program. (As a coach, you can purchase all the programs for $199!). So, to that end, I agree it's great to mix it up. BUT...sticking with the process (6 weeks of Slim in 6) will assure me I'm going to get the results they offer (providing I eat correctly, too!)

I blasted the DOORS yesterday and actually, didn't even hear Debbie's little quips and laughs (haha). So, again, that's one of the many benefits of repetitiveness.

So, how did I like the Doors? Well, I love the band...and songs bring up some great high school memories (can't share here...it's a family site :)). But overall, I'd give it a 3 of 5. I actually didn't have enough songs - ran out the last 6 minutes. Here is the list:

1. Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) - LOVED IT! What a great start up song!
2. Break on Through
3. Road House Blues (awesome)
4. Hello, I Love You
5. LA Women (my fav)
6. Love Her Madly (where's Janet?)
7. Love Me Two Times
8. Gloria
9. People are Strange
10. Touch Me
11. Twentieth Century Fox (I can't remember the last time I hear that one)
12. Crystal Ship (ditto on this one)
13. Light My Fire
14. Riders on the Storm (nice stretch/yoga tune)

7 Playlists down...29 more to go! So many to choose from.... great motivator!

Day 6 - The Eagles

Well, I FINALLY made it to day 6 after a little hiatus...oh well...one thing about me: I AIN'T PERFECT. I shoot for 99%....and if I come up to 80%, well that's better than zippo.

So, I'm back on my 36-play-list marathon to Slim in 6's BURN IT UP. Today was The Eagles. I love the Eagles, but cannot give them a full 5 Muscles - 4/5.

I was psyched, too, because I bought some new kicks - $20 specials at Wal-Mart! They are awesome! Black with diamond studs - I feel like Chalene! I think they are for yoga, but I love them...they fit snug and are light. Perfect for my size 11's.

Here's the play list:
1: One of These Nights
2. Already Gone
3. Heartache Tonight
4. Take It Easy (live - awesome!)
5. Witchy Woman (I haven't heard that in years)
6. New Kid in Town
7. Take it to the Limit
8. All Night Long
9. In the City
10. Lyin' Eyes
11. Peaceful Easy Feeling
12. Tequila Sunrise (live)
13. I Can't Tell You Why
14. Hotel California (didn't make it to this song...bummer)

I love doing the stretch and yoga (last 9 minutes) to slow songs, so I was looking forward to Hotel California, but I burned too many songs.

So far, my eating has been back on track....but I really gotta log my food in. Either on paper or on MyFitnessPal.com. It really does help.

See ya tomorrow! I can't decide which band to workout to!! Decisions, decisions.

Day 5 - Led Zeppelin #1

What can I say, I'm a HUGE Zeppelin fan. It doesn't get any better than working out to Led Zeppelin! I don't think about any lunge, squat, leg lift, bicep curl, etc., when Robert Plant is belting out those tunes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for any Zeppelin fans:

Playlist 1 of many...
1. Four Sticks
2. Dancing Days
3. Hot Dog
4. Communication Breakdowns
5. Bring It On Home
6. D'yer Maker
7. Black Dog
8. How Many More Times
9. Gallows Pole
10. Good Times Bad Times
11. Houses of the Holy
12. Immigrant Song
13. Rock & Roll
14. Thank You
15. Battle of Evermore

I will definitely be using this one again! Rock on!

Day 4 - Journey

Yikes, I'm just posting my Journey song list a week after I did it. I'm a little behind, but I'm not going to stop just because life gets in the way here and there. Some days/weeks I feel like I take one step forward and 2 back, BUT I have to keep reminding myself that those one steps will add up. Better than all backwards!

Okay, here was the Journey playlist. I LOVE Journey - haven't heard many of these songs in a long time. Great workout tunes:

1. Be Good to Yourself (what more can you say than that?)
2. Any Way you Want It
3. Girl Can't Help It
4. Only the Young
5. Stone in Love
6. Wheel in the Sky
7. Lovin', Touchin' Squeezin'
8. Wheel in the Sky
9. Don't Stop Believing
10. Oh Sherry
11. Separate Ways
12. Lights
13. Send Her My Love
14. Who's Crying Now
15. Foolish Heart

I would have switched a couple songs around, but for the most part, great workout to BURN IT UP.
