Living Without School: My current passions.

My current passions.

My two current passions are my two FAVE workouts.

I do these on DVD as home workouts but both are available in gyms as classes. Home workouts suit this homechooler's schedule better, right now....And her budget.

Tae Bo has has been a long time favourite.Billy Blanks really works you hard and is a great inspiration.

Turbo Jam is a new fun workout for me - its like dance and kickboxing together.

And Chalene's TJ blog

Am I a workout addict or what? My early morning workout is my daily time for me - before the busyness of the day begins. I never miss a day - I love it so much and have a fun time. I feel like a kid again - and if my kids are awake they like watching me workout or trying to outdo me in push ups or sit ups or punches and kicks.

Tae Bo even has a kids' workout. Way cool, baby doll! ( lol!)

Do you purchase your dvd's or are you able to borrow them from the library? If you purchase them, where do you get them?

Leonie said...: I bought mine. I figured out it was much cheaper than a gym membership or doing casual clases at the gym - I have them forever!

The Tae Bo ones I can get from K Mart or Target or from Home Fitness Delivered.

I have also purchased some from ebay. I got my Turbo Jams from ebay.

Am I addicted? lol!; 8:59 am
Luke said...: I'd have to say that yes, you certainly are addicted. :)

But I could think of worse things than fitness.

I still really enjoy the Billy Blanks quote about discipline - I need to try and follow it more myself...; 9:59 am
Cindy said...: Wooo Hoooo!

You go girl! :-); 5:21 am
Leonie said...: Thanks Cindy - and Luke, you KNOW I am addicted!

Bily Blanks always inspiures me - his discipline quote is good, isn't it? I put it in my Kumon newsletter this month.

Chalene from TJ also talkes about somethign similar - can be applied to fitness or whatever - the acronym W.I.W.M. ( What I want most).; 9:38 am
Cindy said...: Leonie-
Maybe you have a suggetion- I have some workout videos, but after a while they get stale (watching them over and over)- which is one reason I went to live classes at the studio. But I do like the convience of at home.

Any suggestions?; 12:46 am

Prayer of Consecration of St. Maximilian Kolbe

O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to thee. I, N___, a repentant sinner, cast myself at thy feet humbly imploring thee to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to thyself as thy possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases thee. If it pleases thee, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of thee: "She will crush your head," and, "Thou alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world."

Let me be a fit instrument in thine Immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed Kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever thou enters, one obtains the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through thy hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

V. Allow me to praise thee O Sacred Virgin.
R. Give me strength against thy enemies.

Prayer of St Bonaventure

Pierce, O most Sweet Lord Jesus, my inmost soul with the most joyous and healthful wound of Thy love, with true, serene, and most holy apostolic charity, that my soul may ever languish and melt with love and longing for Thee, that it may yearn for Thee and faint for Thy courts, and long to be dissolved and to be with Thee.Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the bread of angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial bread, having all sweetness and savor and every delight of taste; let my heart ever hunger after and feed upon Thee, upon whom the angels desire to look, and may my inmost soul be filled with the sweetness of Thy savor; may it ever thirst after Thee, the fountain of life, the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, the fountain of eternal light, the torrent of pleasure, the richness of the house of God.May it ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find Thee, run to Thee, attain Thee, meditate upon Thee, speak of Thee, and do all things to the praise and glory of Thy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delight, with ease and affection, and with perseverance unto the end.May Thou alone be ever my hope, my entire assurance, my riches, my delight, my pleasure, my joy, my rest and tranquility, my peace, my sweetness, my fragrance, my sweet savor, my food, my refreshment, my refuge, my help, my wisdom, my portion, my possession and my treasure, in whom may my mind and my heart be fixed and firmly rooted immovably henceforth and for ever. Amen.
