No ad here, I wanted to share anyways and then Lisca even asked about it so here goes ๐.
That week I was feeling so down I did no training.
Stupid self-pity, but then I got it out here on the blog and I got your help, your kind, encouraging words (thank you BIG) and got my sh##. together again and... WOW.
There are four programs on the "Shape´n Dance"-DVD by Detlef Soost and I´m fit enough to do them in a row, one RIGHT after the other, BOOM, just like that, no break, I can even breathe normal, LOL. (One DVD) - not after that break!!!! One week made my body go down the drain! A break after each session. Heart pumping, sweating....
The first course... mostly legs, second: mostly arms (they do not fall off, promise, and I got a weird one... arm), third... girly stuff, you might think (Latin dance), forth: HECTIC (break dance. I´m too young for that, haha)!
No. If you have back problems and are interested, feel free to ask me.
Nearly each one.. it´s like:
4 on 4, 4 times... 8 times, 4, 4. 8 ,4, done. (You´ll even love the "burpees" - a milder form, not like the marines do, no worries!)
Not even two hours
And in each.. I skipped ONE week and felt my back, it screamed THANK YOU! ... when I got back to the training!
Most vertebra / bones ... muscles certainly too, get moved.
Left, right, veeeery left/right, up, down.
Plus you have fun music AAAND!
He gives you smiles or makes a funny face OR becomes a girl himself (real men can do this and no, no silly tutu or such) or a Hulk and MOTIVATES you.
My back wants to run over and say "thank you!"
I have another (more than one) of his programs but he´s a dancer and I have two left feet, it took me AGES and FRUSTRATION to manage this one already.
Cha-cha-cha I get but that pluie-thingy, by golly (I can do it now and even this is good for your back!!!).
If you alter the program a bit as in "do more", your back will just love ๐งก you! (he lives in Berlin and my doc´s Sis met him - he is tough!!! She said "all four in one piece - respect!" Haha, YES! - Oh, come on. It was hard work and I´m a wee bit proud on this, if I have not much else..)
My back (or yours?) may shout, "HEY!!! You could´ve done this long ago - but better late then never."
Mine hurt a bit, but then it´s probably the scoliosis that was mad for me going against it ๐
(Really. I "lost" 6 cm that I know of, and I´m small already and Ingo just refuses to shrink)
A clever, a VERY clever program - and all the smiles etc you get on top!
If you´re a more into women - TWO sexy women do the program with him, here´s one!
And then! My health insurance does not accept this, they want me to go to a stinky, icky fitness-center. THAT they accept.
Where I .... oh, boy, I´ve been there! Guys... ICKY.
And have you ever seen a woman taking a shower... in.her.undies??? YES (ok, saw that once only).
Clipping her nails (another one) or shaving whatever?
No, I have my program(s) at home, my own shower (no undies or any of that craziness, really, I mean, hello!! Wanna call the plumber each week?!)
Tried the next DVD of his, "Tanz dich fit" and loooove it.
At first you can choose explanations. They´re in German only, but actually you don´t need the words, he just shows you step by step, slowly, how it goes.
And says: Keep your back straight. So, now I´ve said it just go ahead ๐
Henry ๐ฆ?
He mostly sleeps through it. Oh, come an a) he´s a lion, b) he is old. "Born" around 1166 is not really an age to dance like crazy, or... is it?
"I feel good!"
OK, sorry, I leave you with this!

Gosh you're good, maybe I should get motivated and do some exercise here, I've been a bit lazy lately.
Definitely NOT for me, I need my back to stay loose, no more spasms for me. I'll walk for my exercise.
Amy, go for it, this man really is fun!

River, walking is as good! I do that on top often ๐
Good on you, Iris. I exercise every morning, a tv program. But it is boring. What you do is better
Good for you that you do that! I can't muster that much motivation to do that, and in fact I'll just have to do it ... because of the diabetes! Movement is just good for it ... but ...
Why does Detlef Soost seem so familiar to me ... was he on a jury? In a dance program?
Here is gray and rain very hard, this is the second day and I am really fed up now!
Thank you for the power ... nice car!
Ich hab dich liiiieb mein ๐
xoxo
Bertiebo, good on you, if boring, ... try this?
____
Ella, yes, he was in many a program on German TV - even if he came a tad arrogant around the corner (as on one ad I´d seen) he is cute and can motivate you!!!
Give him a go, maybe try first the "Tanz dich fit" - really easy and FUN!!!
Go for it, ich hab dich liiiieb mein ๐ฆ, fly and dance! xoxo
Absolutely agree Iris, home exercise is the best, I used to love going to the gym but now it's so much easier just to follow a program at home.. then into the pool ๐ got earworm from James Brown, na na na na na I knew that I would now ๐ Happy weekend to you both ๐
...I LOVE James Brown, but even him isn't enough to get me up and dancing!
Grace, oh, if I had a pool! I´d be even MORE motivated. Can take a "snow-bath", LOL It keeps snowing here...
____
Tom, you´d feel good!
Good to know you feeling good!
Sad to read about W's wife though. But his commitment to her is to be lauded.
awesome Iris! Proud of you
Yes, to both...
This looks like a fun exercise/dance video. You're right -- it is more fun with good music and a fun leader. Well done! And thanks for the James Brown -- that's one of my favorites!
I was thinking of watching aerobic and yoga videos on TV, but am hesitant because of my arthritis. Don't want to hurt myself.
I'll have that song in my head the rest of the day.
I am glad this makes you feel so good and you have come a long long way.
I FEEL GOOOOOOOD!

OMG Iris again you made my day with all that laugh!!! You really are an amazing writer big sis! I feel all the emotions (even those that weren't supposed to be funny, I find funny) and I really love it! Congratulations on making those videos and training at home!
It's the weekend!!!
I love James Brown. I saw him many times at concerts. yes, I am old, however, I too work out everyday. No burbees for me but dance, functional fitness walking and stretches. Yes, that all makes my back feel good too. Hey, thanks for having dreams about me. I think the next time I go to the store I will take photos of the meat department for you too. Have a great day Iris.
I like to dance around the house when no one is home. It is good exercise. Pete the dog likes to dance with me. He wiggles around and gets excited. Maddie looks at us like we have lost our minds. Oh well. better than the 29 year old making fun of me. Smile. Happy weekend.
As for my well being I been a hit and miss. Need to get back in gear.
Coffee is on and stay safe
It was great to see Detlef. Now I can sort of imagine you doing your exercises. It looks pretty full-on to me. I played a few of his videos. Boy! I admire you for being able to do them. I'm not that fit anymore after months of not doing anything but going for walks and climbing stairs.
But, like James Brown says: I feel good!
Have a great weekend,
Hugs,
Lisca
Jeanie, yes, it is fun :-)
It makes us feel good!

gigi, ask the doc first? Yoga sounds rather safe as you can vary it to your liking much better.
____
William, sorry, LOL.
____
MB, YES!
____
Stevenson, what? I made you laugh with this? That´s great! Thank you for your compliments, oh, darn blogger, I really only saw these comments now!
____
Nicole any sport and exercise makes us happy, right? Yes, please sneak out some pics!
____
Erika, I understand Maddie a bit, but yay for Pete! :-)
____
Dora, do, you´ll feel likely really happier!
____
Lisca, oh, didn´t know you get him online, too, that´s good!
Yes, he is fun indeed!
