A Neurokinetic Day!

[BlessedMama]

I've read about improved neurokinetic flow, and have experienced it a little, but today was a BIG day for it!

After reading up on the forums about it, I decided this week to do my workouts slower and with less reps. Today was TWO, and it had to be broken up due to some minor crises (actually, just a normal day with 9 children, 10 goats, 2 dogs and too many cats). I didn't do it with the dvd this time, wanting to just really think about what I was doing. Tightened and tucked just as hard as I could to my max.

How do you spell s-o-r-e?! [B)] I got only the BWO portion done and had to stop, and was already sore!!! But from attending a clinic in July, I knew that was GOOD! Then did about half of the second portion of TWO. Later finished the last half (after another PBS, of course! ) I hated breaking up the second portion of TWO, but life demanded it, and I wondered if I'd missed the benefit...from the way my muscles feel, I'd say no! I got every ounce of benefit! []

I finished by doing Lani's Torso Trimmer (or Torture, as I like to call it!). I did the normal reps for that, but again, I really focused on what I was doing and feeling. My lower abs are so sore! While doing the exercises, I felt like I was starting to understand about NK flow this time!

Even during Balance (which is NOT my favorite!), TTN, Airplanes, Arms, Torso Twist, just EVERYTHING! It was really neat!

I actually plan to do Inst. 2 on Thursday, slowly, less reps, pause button in hand!

CherCher will be so proud of me!

Thanks for sharing all your stories to inspire me!!!!

Trisch, doing things slow may really make a huge difference. Actually, I have not been practicing that for a while but when I did I spent almost twice the time as compared to the DVD length and felt waaaaaayyyyy more exhausted. I think it is really good to practice this from time to time. In my case, when I cannot attend a real clinic, this slow pace of exercising may substitute one in a way And yes, you feel real SORE[:0]

Hi Trisch! Glad to hear of your success. Going sloooower and really focusing on each move works for me too - that's when I really started losing inches. Recently I got a little frisky and started doing Tempo again but found it is still too fast for me. I need the slower pace so I can really tuck, tighten, engage...do all that good stuff to my personal max without worrying about keeping up the pace.

Way to go!

I hear ya Trisch,
I have been concentrating on form for about a month now. Really focusing on tuck hard and feeling every move in my butt and abs. I have to say Im scared to go to SH. I was still so sore from mon this am but decided to still do BWO & Tempo lb floor during the AL, DD and PT I wanted to scream my butt and abs were on fire. In SH Im not sure I will be able to walk by Sun. I may need a wheel chair to get to the airport [B)][:0]. I also felt my groin lymph drain on Monday. Really cool!

OOOH Kim! I'm jealous of all you going to SH! I think I would be in the same boat as you! Hey! I have my dad's electric scooter he's not using anymore....

CHERYL!!!! (Yes, I'm screaming, jumping up and down for joy!) Really? You AND DrW? ::swooning:: That's just tooooo good to be true! I'll keep my January as open as possible!

Yes, Renee, I'm from IN, home of the drastically changing weather and mosquitoes! [] It would be nice to meet you--I think I remember you posting before the last clinic--so sad I couldn't meet up with you then! I have 7 ewes and 2 rams! Too cute!

LillyDaizz/Renee--I had been thinking of getting another workout just to have variety...but I really, really think I need to stick with B/R for awhile. I might get the Ladybug POP at least--I'd love to do the Lady Bug workout, but I've read I need to know HTF first, and I'm not ready for that! (Well, my body could certainly use it, but I don't think I'm "mentally" ready for it!)

Tamra, I thought it took at least as long, even though I only did 4 reps! I probably could have slowed down even more, but it seems every time I turned around somebody "needed" me, so there were interruptions galore! Tomorrow when I do Inst. 2, I think I will lock them all outside! JK!!! I might send them all to the park, though!

I don't have the workout with Pretzel Twist, so I'm going by the Try Before You Buy section, but I even felt the NK flow with that yesterday! It just "clicked". Diva Derriere might take awhile longer.....what a killer! []

Thanks for your support!

Hopefully I can make the next clinic! I live on the IL border right off 74. It would be great to meet another mama of many [8D]

lol! I got on here for some inspiration before I go work out since I missed my planned early morning slot. Looks like I'll be doing it slow and maxed! Congrats on the NK flow (you can only say that here where people will understand)!

Yep, it's true! We are trying to plan early so that everyone can put it on their "christmas list!"

Stay tuned for details.
