Body Basics take 4
Who: Radagast and SO
Exercise type: Kathy Smith's Body Basics video
Portions of tape: warmup, aerobics, abs, legs, butt, cooldown
Duration: ~50 minutes
Notes: Radagast did 1/2 abs due to pain, Radagast's SO did 1/2 aerobics. Radagast finally learned the correct position for the leg portion (you have to make lots of 90-degree angles), and wonders if his leg muscles will ever forgive him. Immediately afterwards we were both very worn out.
Soreness report: Radagast's SO was moderately sore overall. Radagast is regretting learning the right way to do the leg exercises, and is very sore.

Welcome to the second most boring blog on the web
I'm Radagast, and I normally write at Rhosgobel; if you want to find out more about me, head on over there.
My SO and I have recently started exercising. This blog's primary purpose is to help us keep track of how much we've exercised, and in doing so motivate us to keep exercising; I first wrote about this idea here on Rhosgobel.
I'm going to be honest: the posts on this blog will likely be uninteresting, as they'll focus on describing the type and duration of exercise we do on any given day. If you like reading that kind of stuff, keep on reading; if not, nobody's forcing you. My SO and I may, from time to time, post reviews of exercise tapes or equipment that we're using, but we don't have much planned on that front currently.
