Stress levels through the roof time for a change

I am starting my new job and I still have other work and then school work to complete on top of that - in short, I am super busy. With that in mind there is no time for a long workout. On top of it all my allergies have me screwed up and really intense workouts like tae bo have me about to die halfway in. So, what I have done is bought a walk at home DVD. I am not likely to have a spare minute in the next few weeks to go outside and take a stroll so I am doing it inside.

The workouts are by Leslie Sansone. They are great. I bought a dvd with5 workouts on it. There are 2 1 mile walks, 2 2 mile walks and then a walk/kickboxing combo (not sure how far that is supposed to be in distance). I did the starter 1 mile walk tonight. It was only 20 minutes, but she adding in weights to pump up the intensity. It didn't kill me but it felt good. You can feel it in your legs, for sure. With the weights it gets your arms feeling it, too. I used 3 pound weights, but I have 5 and may push myself at the end of the week.

I am doing the walking workouts all this week. By the end of the week I hope to combine a one and 2 mile walk to make 3 miles of walking. I am using this as part of the 5k training. I need to at least be solid at walking 3 or so miles before we start our interval training outside. I also have the music so if it rains or I just can not get outside I can still do the interval 5k training inside - but we are not there yet - that comes in May :)
