Day 4-Sub zero temps? Youtube to the rescue!

Jan 04, 2015

Well, just like they told me, Day 4 started with me feeling FANTASTIC! The only problem is that the temperature outside today isn't going to get any higher than -1. Now that I have energy, no pain, and no gas, I REALLY want to get started with some working out. I did get my Wii, but no games yet. I found the perfect solution! I went on Youtube and did a search for Zumba. Found a great video called Dance workout for beginners step by step (dance workout for dummies). There are actually 2 workouts on there for a total of about 40 minutes. It was a bit awkward at first, but even if you don't get all the steps right, it's still a workout! The best part, is it's on Youtube....It's FREE! I have an awesome little brother who works in cable communications. He gave me a HDMI cable that connects my PC to my TV so I could watch and work out to the video on my larger TV screen instead of my smaller laptop one. The great thing is that there are countless video options to chose from online that you don't have to buy! It was low enough impact not to cause me pain, but enough of a cardio workout to raise my heart rate and I broke a sweat! I haven't enrolled at a gym again yet because I can't fully utilize it until I heal completely. At the start of February I'll rejoin and start hitting the resistance machines and some free weights, but for now having access to free indoor cardio workouts is a Godsend until the weather warms up some so I can get outside for walks! Just thought I'd share for anyone else who may live in a State with cold temps in the winter that severely limit outdoor options or for anyone who just likes to dance and zumba but didn't realize you don't have to spend money on costly dvd's to get a workout post op. Hope this helps!
