Step!

FYI, 99% of the time I write a political rant on here, I never post it. Ha! You're welcome!! Maybe it's therapeutic for me anyway.

So I started working out 4-5x per week again, about three months ago. When I last stopped working out regularly (several years ago) I had tweaked my knee doing aerobic kickboxing. The best thing about starting again was that it doesn't hurt anymore! Amazing how much more you feel like you accomplish when your knee is functioning properly. Funny I even realized that. I guess that tells me how much it was hurting back then.

I've been doing Jenny Ford's videos on YouTube on AppleTV. I still love good ol' step aerobics, and she has tons of those. She also does other types of aerobic workouts, like marching and dance. So far, it looks like all of her vids are easy to do with minimal space at home, no matter the weather and without equipment. Exactly what I like. No excuses and no need to get all dolled up for the gym. 

Just search for her name on YouTube and her vids will come up. If you are a step beginner, the #1 video in her series "Step Across America" is the ultimate beginner video. Her step vids are divided into Beginner/Basic/Intermediate/Advanced. She also provides endless adjustment options in every workout to increase or decrease the intensity, which is so helpful. (You can do step without a step, so no worries there. My step is long gone in the trash heap.)
