Hello everyone. This morning I couldn't sleep so I went ahead and got up and started my work out. I did S&H chest, bi's & tri's. Now that I'm done, I feel I could go back to bed. Too bad I have to get ready work. Hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning,

On tap for tonite is upper body and abs from the basic step dvd plus TM for 30min. This rotation is a little easier than the ones I have been doing, but it incorporates the high step later on. How do you girls decide which workout you are going to do? Do you just wakeup and say I feel like doing this or are you following a rotation? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to fiqure out what to do.

Jean-don't you hate it when you can't sleep? I have a hard time after DH goes to work lucky for me the route he is running this week doesn't start until 3:00 so I get more sleep.

Off to smooze the Dr. office today for mastectomy products, my boss and I are taking them Famous Daves. Have a good day everyone.

Hi Roxie and Jean and everyone else,

My eating over the weekend was horrible. But this is a new day and I am challenging myself to lose 5 lbs by Memorial day. I told my husband and I hope that will motivate me more.

Yesterday I did 4DS HIS and Lis abs. This morning I did 4DS legs and calves and shoulders, then the floor work from L&G and C&W stretch.

Jean I hate it when I can not sleep.

Roxie I make up a rotation and follow it. I find I stay more
committed this way.

Okay, off to the skateboard park with my two boys. Wish me luck. I get nervous watching them.

Good morning Jean, Roxie, and Elaine - and all who stop in later. I got up this morning and did LowMax Intervals 1-4. It was a good WO and just about the right length for me at this point. I'll do the remaining interval premix later in the week, I think.

Jean, sorry about the sleep issues. DH has been having a lot of that lately.

Elaine, just dust yourself off and try again. As long as we keep trying it's OK. It's when you quit that you get in trouble

Roxie, sometimes I do a pubslished rotation and sometimes I don't. What I try to do is to get 3 cardio WO, 1 UB and 1 LB in any given week (Core is squeezed in there somewhere too - at least twice). I'll usually do a step WO on M and F, a kickbox WO or elliptical on W, and the weight work on T and Th. I usually try to get one other WO in on the WE too. That one may be cardio OR weights, whatever I feel like although if I do weights I try to make it a full body WO (like Muscle Endurance). Hope that helps.

I'm just swamped at work right now so I'd better scoot and get after it. I will try to cbl but no promises. Have a great day everyone!

Hello all!

I thought I checked in yesterday, but it must not have gone through.x( Yesterday, I had MIC on my rotation and I don't have that, so I attempted to create my own. I did WU from Step Blast, hi/lo from SJP and the first 1.5 combos from SB. I was a mess! Today I did B&G timesaver premix. My butt is feeling good and sore.

Andrea, I like that LoMax premix too. I haven't tackled the whole thing yet. Maybe someday!

Jean, good for you for getting your WO in! I hope that you are able to get some good sleep tonight.

Roxie, I typically follow a rotation. I am now doing the April '08 rotation that Cathe posted. It is a toughie! I think if I just picked my own WO's I would pick not to do them! LOL! I like knowing what's coming next.

Elaine, my ulcer just grew when you mentioned the skateboard park and boys. UGH! I hope it went well for you and them! I think your Memorial Day goal is great! I know that you can do it!!!!

Hello to anyone else who may check in today! It is a beautiful spring day here! Have a great Tuesday!

Becca, GFY doing B&G. I can't say I'm in love w/ that one - every time I do it I get so sore that I can't do much of anything for 2-3 days. Probably means I should stick with it but it's hard when it REALLY hurts!

I tried the other premix on LoMax awhile back and it was a DISASTER. I was tired that day and just klutzy. Haven't tried it since. I found today that the choreography is really similar to 4DS LIS so it wasn't so intimidating. Hopefully I'll still think that when I do the other premix later this week

I'm procrastinating. My day has not gone anything like I planned. All kinds of wrenches thrown in everywhere today. Guess I'd better get back at it. Talk you you all tomorrow!
