High Step Circuit

What a weekend! I didn't report a workout on Friday because I was working my @ss off planting grass seed in our 3/4 acre yard. I like to call that workout "Lawn Max". It's tough and I hope to never do it again! I was wearing my pedometer while I was out and logged over 22,000 steps, which is over 10 miles. Just from walking around in my yard! And when I say "walking" I mean "pushing a really heavy spreader around, and bending over and picking up rocks, and rolling a wheelbarrow around". It was exhausting. If any fitness video gurus are looking for a new concept, I have found it - Garden Cardio!

So, I didn't do any "official" workouts all weekend long because I was just trying to recover from Friday. But I started back fresh this morning with a so-called "beginner" workout called High Step Circuit. It's a similar concept to High Step Training, which I did last week (and it nearly killed me), but supposed to be a little lower intensity. I dunno, I still got a really good workout from this one. I think, because of the lighter weights used in this one, it would qualify more as cardio, whereas High Step Training would probably qualify more as weights. Both workouts are fun and both have a place in my rotation. As if I have a formal rotation! LOL!
