So, with the recent turn to cold weather...workouts have been a challenge! In the quest to get that daily sweat...I have turned to doing exercise tapes in my bedroom. That's a bit of a feat to conquer because my room is tiny! I push my big red chair into the side of my bed, and make sure not to fall into my large office desk...though I can't say it hasn't happened. When moves require a large stretch of the room, I take it vertical. The pounding heard from downstairs last for about an hour, a bit of a nuisance to my parents who often work out of the home. But I happily get it done. I meditate during the cooldown, imagining that the cold breeze emitted by my open window to chill my stuffy room is really a tropical breeze in the hottest part of the summer. I am proud of my devotion.
My favorite tapes include those by Kari Anderson and Andre Houle. As of late Andre Houle has been giving me a run for the money. His captivating smile and sexy dance moves along with immense positive energy motivate me on the most wintery of days.
So yes, even if you aren't up for a standard gym workout...excuses about the weather/mood can be quickly turned out. Just push the furniture around and let off some steam!!

Hi Heather,
I tried the andre houle tape but realized I don't have the ability to follow the complex dance moves and keep my heart rate sufficiently high.
Have you ever considered obtaining a fitness trainer certification? It might provide a means of earning some money while having fun!
Best!
Hey Heather,
I definitely agree that is it a lot harder to work out when it is cold outside. I don't know if you have ever tried the Tae-Bo videos with Billy Blanks. They're amazing and fun!
oh Yes, Billy Blanks Tae Bo is intense and fun!
