Deep Freeze

A high of -5 at noon today with a real feel temp of -25. So the whole point is I'm not leaving the house if I don't have to. This also means I needed to find a way to workout at home. Lucky for me some new workout DVDs arrived in the mail this week. Jillian Michael's from Biggest Loser and her 30 day shred program, level 1, kicked my ass in just 20 minutes. I hurt all over. Here I was thinking I was in some sort of shape. I lift weights, I run, I cross-train and my poor quads and calves were burning in the first 4 minutes. At least I know I didn't waste $9 :) I actually spend the 20 minutes wishing for a treadmill instead! Ah, I'm sure I'll get my wish tomorrow when it actually warms to a balmy 7 degrees above and I can then venture out to the gym. Stay warm northerners!

This winter is getting a bit crazy. Deep freeze every other week?

At least you got in a good workout indoors. Great job!

Yikes! Staying warm is a much more important priority than getting out for a run right now.

It was -3 degrees this morning on the car and that does not include the wind chill... ouch!

It has been all treadmill for me and that is just what I have to do.

Best of luck and stay warm.
