When I was in China with these 2 girls we decided to try working out on days that were too cold or rainy to Chinese techno music. It works great because it has that lovely constant beat the whole time. I don't know that I could really listen to this music any other time. Anways, I have revived the Chinese techno workout and I am going on 3 days of successful increased heart rate! Good times! I don't know why I didn't think of doing this sooner during the winter months. I just put Grant in his swing and he watches his crazy mom move around to even crazier music. It isn't really anything too fancy since I'm making it up as I go. Basically, it's just like a step/kickboxing routine without a step or really much kickboxing. :) But it does get my heart rate up and wears me out pretty good.
Maybe I'll start adding Tai Chi in for my cool down. I've got the outfit, so there is a good chance I could look as cool as these guys. :)

that sounds like a good idea! I'm sure Christopher would get a kick out of me jumping around.
Tonight I thought, "I should check Jen's blog" and lo and behold--it was directed to me! Thanks for the reminiscing (sp?) about China. We really had some fun times. I'm glad I got to share TWO great stints in China with such an awesome girl like you. So Grant might think you're funny sometimes with the crazy workouts, but he's going to grow up to adore his fabulous Mommy!
What a fun idea! I should pull those crazy Chinese Techno CD's out too.
I also caught myself the other day thinking about running around the track and counting in Chinese...what fun and simple days!
I wish I could see it! So good to hear your "voice" again on your blog. And... we need more pictures of Grant! :)
Jenny! Michelle left a comment on my blog about this post on your blog. So, I had to come look! It's so funny because my little neighbor came over yesterday and was counting in spanish, so I taught her how to count in Chinese and it got me remembering our fun China days. What fun we had! I don't know where my china/techno CD's are, but when I find them, boy you better watch out! I'll be working out too!
so are you going to post a video of your workout? Maybe you could start selling it...add a little extra income. You could be the next Billy Blake (or whatever the TaeBO guys name is)
I've had brief thoughts of posting a video of it but sorry everyone, they were very BRIEF thoughts and then I thought better of it. Although, if money were involved maybe I would do it. :)
