Current fitness goals: To be happy with my body no matter what level I'm

Loved ones' opinion of video habit: I think it drives my hubby crazy but
he's learning to live with it. My mom has actually turned into a vidiot
herself after years of me enticing her. Everyone else thinks it's a little
weird but at least it's a healthy addiction.

Underrated:
Mindy Mylrea is finally getting the recognition she deserves. She is super
tough and such a joy to behold!
Biggest Disappointments:
I know many will disagree but I would have to say Body Pump. Other than the
music I didn't see anything "new".
Would love to see:
More Cathe kickboxing videos.
Words of Wisdom:
Uuuhhh... I was dreading this part. I would just have to
say exercise for fun and for health but not for a perfect body. I got into
a dangerous habit a few years back of actually doing more harm to my body
than good with exercise. I found myself injured and continually forcing
myself to push harder. Then I got side-lined for 8 weeks after a
hysterectomy. I was terrified of NOT working out. But I found that was
just what I needed. When I came back to exercise I found out how fun it
could be. Exercise can be fun? What a novel concept! :-) Now I workout
for fun. There are so many fun, fun, fun tapes out there. There were body
images in my mind that were unattainable and this caused the harm. Now I
reach for those goals that are realistic and just enjoy life. There's so
much to be thankful for and I try to always keep my focus on that. Just
enjoy life and your family!
Oh and one other thing... Life's too short to do videos you hate. Only do
the ones you love. (except maybe IMax once in a while ;-))
