My workout routine has undergone a significant change. I used to work out on the treadmill, while watching television shows that I had tivoed. But a friend told me about a kick-boxing videotape that she had, which gave her a really great workout. So, I decided to try some workout shows. And now I'm totally sold on Sharon Mann. She's always upbeat, and has a tremendous amount of variety on her show. The people that are doing the workout with her are all dressed differently (unlike some other shows, where they look like they're all in the same uniform). She does shows with step exercises, pilates, workouts on the exercise ball, "boot camp" type workouts. All great stuff.
I think it's made a real difference in my fitness level. Walking on the treadmill (even though I did a few push-ups and sit-ups) was much better than nothing, but now my workouts are much more varied, and I use so many more muscles. I really feel, moving around the house and picking up the kids, how much more fit I am.
