The aerobic workouts were completely low impact, you're barely shuffling your legs around for 95% of the video, but it works your core the entire time. After the first two times I did the workout my husband said, "I think I can actually see changes from your workout in just a couple of days."
But after the first two weeks of doing 9 or 10 workouts a week he was shocked. "That workout is completely transformative. It has transformed your body. I can see it in your back and your core."
I wasn't dieting or counting calories at that time, so my energy level was up. I felt great doing the extra workouts, and on top of that I was eating super healthy and eating plenty of food. Breakfast was typically summer rolls with shrimp and pork, and fruit and berries. Lunch was usually stir-fry with rice or a curried udon noodle dish with vegetables and tofu. Dinner was a free for all depending on whether it was my husband or I cooking. I just made sure to eat a little protein with every meal.
I didn't miss any workouts in September and October. The routine was fresh and new and I super enjoyed what I was doing, so it didn't really feel like an effort to get through the daily workouts.
I lost lots of fat in my back, stomach, and arms, they got noticeably smaller. Legs stayed the same since I ran a lot before this and they were already strong, but I did notice I no longer got side cramps at all. Probably due to building up core strength to a great extant.
Here's a list of those workouts I was doing in September and October:
Low Impact Aerobics (This was my go to daily workout)
For the workouts below, I did 4 videos 2-3 times a week plus a stretching video. So, about a 20 minute workout.
Cardio Blast
HIIT

Hi Phuong,
I found this blog when I visited your gardening blog. I found them both very interesting. Your workout schedule and the results are quite encouraging! I am thinking of trying out the aerobics video. Do you generally exercise in the mornings? I hope to see more posts on your gardening blog as well. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Chhaya,
I usually exercise after work before our kid comes home, or after the kiddo has settled down with an activity then I go to the other room to workout. The aerobics video is great for the arms and there's a good stretching section at the end. The music is dance club music in various languages and there's a naughty song near the end, just to give fair warning.
