On Shred Day 4, Dee started using the proper 3 pound hand weights, and finally tossed my ghetto soup & tomato sauce can idea to the curb.
Whew!!! I tried to do something productive at least every other day, and worked in a total of about 1 1/2 hours of exercise for the week. Dee went the "every single day" approach, and got in just over 4 1/4 hours of exercise this week!
Weigh in tomorrow morning!

Weight A Minute...
Well, we did it. We broke bad yesterday, made the trip to our nearest "city", and plopped down six whole bucks for a pair of 3-pound hand weights. Oh yeah! Dee was feeling the pain, using those bad boys for Day 4 of Shred this morning. They don't feel all that heavy until you do multiple reps of multiple exercises...
Now, all we have to do is saunter over to my aunt's house, as she has graciously offered up a yoga mat for us to use in this whole adventure. Once we procure that, we'll have a veritable home gym over here. :)
We've just finished a late lunch and are about to hit up some Zumba again... another 20 minute "express" Latin dance session, and we should be pretty good on exercise for today.
Tomorrow is weigh day, and we'll see how things turn out for the week!

"Zum" Went The Strings Of My Heart
You may have guessed from my lame attempt at a pun in the title of this post... and actually, more people are probably familiar with "Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart" by Judy Garland or the Coasters, than "Zoom Went The Strings Of My Heart" by the Cadillacs... but I digress...
My point? We decided to finally give Zumba a go.
That's right... it's the Hottest Latin Dance Workout!!! Actually, it's been around for about 10 years, but Dee had read all sorts of good blog entries around the web about it, and it still seems to be quite popular. We picked up the newer version, which features female teachers along with the program's creator, Beto.
We just finished the 20-Minute Express workout, which has four 5-minute sections of Latin dance. I found it remarkably easy, but I was doing some simplified versions of the moves. We both broke a sweat and felt like we were doing something, so it makes a good addition to our normal exercise routine that we did this morning.
Dance on!
