Youtube Fitness for the Financially Challenged

Thursday, September 03, 2009

I am a huge fan of 10 minute cardio workouts. It is much easier for me to break up my exercise into three or four 10 minute segments than it is to do it all at once. If try and do a large amount of time at once I am more likely to put it off and find reasons not to do it.

A long while ago when I saw that Sparkpeople had several ten minute cardio videos available on this site (links available below) through youtube for free, I really got excited! The videos are easy to do and the fact that it is just 10 minutes makes it seem a lot less intimidating. After several months though, I've been using the same videos and even though I am thankful that Sparkpeople provides them, I need something new.

I was thinking about buying a few exercise DVD's off Ebay, or checking out my local goodwill, but I still loathed to spend even the smallest amount of money. I decided to check out Youtube. I figured that if Sparkpeople had fitness videos available then perhaps other organizations do as well.

After awhile of searching through the site I came across Paul Eugene. He has many different workouts and they seem to be broken up into ten minute segments. I've only done two videos so far but I plan to do more in the future! Paul Eugene seems very energetic and his movements are very fun to watch! I hope anyone who checks these videos out finds them as fun as I did!

Long story short, if you are craving something different checkout youtube. You might find something you like! Don't forget to share with the rest of your Sparkpeople friends!

My User Name

Thursday, September 03, 2009

I've always had a thing for original user names. I shy away from using numbers, underscores, or even common words. I suppose it comes from playing several different types of role playing fantasy games and creating imaginative characters.

I must admit though I didn't come up with the name Kassiandora myself. Princess Cassiandora is a computer controlled character in a text based role playing game called Avalon the First Age. I've been playing text based role playing games for about seven years and Avalon the First Age was the very first one I played.

The user name makes me feel special and at times it can easily bring a smile. I find it a very positive motivator.

I RAN!

Only for six minutes and I had to walk in between but I finished what I wanted to do. I was very winded I still have more exercising to do but It feels good knowing that I did this.

Yesterday I was bad, added over 1000 calories to my diet because I went out with a friend to Applebee's after work. It wouldn't have been so bad if I had not have had the Mudslide!

I don't think of it too much as a set back. I am ready to work today and I am feeling good!

Margaret Weis WOO!

Gen Con is a Convention all about Gaming. Paul, Sara, and I went last week. We only stayed two days, but next year we plan to stay the entire four days! I had a blast. This was the first time EVER that I have worn a sleeveless shirt in public. I was very nervous about it but eventually I said "What the heck." and I started to feel comfortable with myself!

I had a great time.
