The Sewing Mom

Are you active?  I have always tried to be somewhat active, I’ve even been a member of a gym in the past, I’ve attempted at home exercise programs and I’ve even done walks around the neighborhood. The gym went well until I injured my shoulder working one of the upper arm weight machines and I never returned. Since then, I’ve made attempts to walk regularly and, most recently, purchased our Wii Fit to make exercising more fun. I still find that I’m not nearly as dedicated to exercising as I should be.  Now that I’m back working, even though it’s only part time, it has become even more difficult to squeeze in a beneficial workout.

I’ve recently learned of a new workout program called XFLOWSION which combines the best moves from martial arts, power yoga, and dance to give a full body workout and you don’t have to go to the gym to do it. It’s all on DVD! It’s called TRIPLE TRAINING™ and it uses all 3 mediums to give you one great workout, all in the comfort of your own home. This program promotes fat burning and muscle toning and promises that you will never get bored.

I think XFLOWSION is just what I need to help me stay dedicated to working out.  How do you stay motivated?

Tonight we will be attending my daughter’s first band concert of the school year.  It’s called the “Tailgate Concert” and includes every band in our school district from 7th grade through 12th.  Considering the high school band is over 500 students, I would have to think that there may be close to 1,000 students total at the concert this evening.

There are 3 junior highs and each of those has 3 bands, Honors, Symphonic and Regular.  The Honors and Symphonic bands from each junior high will perform the individual school’s fight song that they represent and then all junior high bands will perform a song.  Next, the high school band will perform before all students of all grades combine to perform a final song at the end.

The event itself is taking place on the football field, the only place that can accommodate all of the band members.  I’m very excited, and I need to remember to take my video camera!   If I can, I’ll post the video here.
