Feel the Good Burn

So, I think that the hour you waste going to and from the gym can be spent exercising at home.

That's what I think, not necessarily what I do. I'm working up to it again. I was faithfully walking while talking to a friend on my cell phone till all that stuff resurfaced about cell phones and brain tumors. I could feel the burn. Then there's this blog thing that takes up alot of my exercise time too. No excuses, I know.

Check out The Bar Method, www.barmethod.com for a good stationary, thigh screaming workout. No bar is needed just the back of a chair unless you belly up to the bar after the workout.

'Feel the Burn' reminded me of when we used to exercise to Jane Fonda's tape (what's that they say?). I kept doing that workout for decades.

So I googled 'Jane Fonda exercises for Older Women' and there it was, along with a blog she writes re fitness for the boomers.
Also like the look of the 'Bar Method,' as described below (from the website).
Feel the burn! Clara



What do you do in a Bar Method workout?
"The Bar Method targets all major muscle groups by contracting or stretching them by means of controlled isolations performed to music.

After a simple warm-up to get the heart rate going and the muscles warm, students work the upper body with free weights, push-ups and stretches using the ballet bar.

Next come challenging exercises for the lower body, most of them performed in various standing positions while holding onto the bar.

The Bar Method’s workout continues with floor exercises for the abdominals and gluteals and concludes with a relaxing series of back and leg stretches."



The Jane Fonda Fitness DVD For Older Women
Posted on Jan 27, 2010 Comments 1

This is one fit 70 year old; one who would give women half her age a run for their money. Jane Fonda, actress, model and fitness guru of the 1980’s is making a comeback with a fitness DVD program aimed at older women.

She wants to encourage the older demographic to work out, whom either stopped working out or never started.

Her age group and that of the baby boomers has been left out according to her.
