From Amy:
So I have not met my goal for the week unless I exercise tonight twice! I think I can push out one workout tonight but not two. Since I'm now an Oprah fan I thought I'd share what I learned on Thurs. show. Gwyneth Paltrow was on and talking about how she lost her "after baby" 20lbs. They showed her 2 hour 6 day a week workout with her personal trainer. This of course cannot be for us but here is a couple of nuggets that they share that I thought might be of interest. 1) Women should never use more than a 3 lb. arm weight unless they want to bulk up. 2) she does about 20 min. worth of leg lifts for her bottom ( so as usual Beth was already on to this) (I've decided to incorporate this into my routine - 5 min. for now) 3) She does a lot of arm stretches without weights. I tried this yesterday and decided it felt pretty good. 4) always exercise in a warm room. she said 80 degrees. I didn't this was too practical for us in the winter. She said that was the quickest way to change a body shape. Anyway, thought you girls might like these suggestions. I don't have any confidence that if I do these things I'll look like Gwyneth. Congrats to Beth and Bonnie for your weight loss!!!!! Almost makes me want to get a scale but not quite!! I hope to hear from you all soon. It seems like we've been a little slow in the blogging dept. this week. Be strong girls!!!
