Mine have gotten better since plyo legs in STS but all my life I have been a terrible jumper. I must look pretty ridiculous at my feeble attempts at getting air but that is the beauty of working out alone in the basement - no one sees it! :D

I am quite a bit older than you but I recently had the same question. Fortunately thru my insurance I have access to an exercise physiologist so I asked her about it. My resting heart rate is betw 45-50. When I do HIIT and other high energy cardio my heart rate will get up and stay over 150...

Usually my comments are such like 'you must be kidding!', 'oh no!', 'please not again!' but only when I have enough breath to speak which isn't often LOL I did Crossfire this morning for the first time....oh my.

The only disc I have that uses a med ball extensively is Christi Taylor's Ultimate Cardio Core Workout. I find it a challenge and I especially like the choreography and the music in the last section.

If you track your 1 rep max on the workout manager here on this site, then you can create workout 'cards' for each day you workout. The cards list the exercise and the weight already figured out for you. No math needed ;) I don't even print out the cards, I just take my tablet with me and...

Hi Melters. This morning I did Christi Taylor Totally Hot Cardio. I'm not one who likes hi/lo a lot but I like this one. I've not been around much again for a couple days because I had to do the usual 'heroics' at work. At the end the big boss was happy, so I guess I'll remain employed at...

I was a little *ahem* old to be a fan of NKOTB the first go 'round, but I did catch the Today show this week when they were on. It was kind of funny watching those grown women holding up their NKOTB 'relics' (vintage buttons, tee shirts and the like) and screaming wildly when they were...

Hello melters. This morning was Seasun Zeiger's 'The Next Step'. I hope Seasun puts another DVD on the market soon as I really like her choreography. She cues really well too. Leanne: I didn't plant anything in the garden yet. All I could manage over the weekend was turning over the soil...

Since I thought it was 'Taraflex' floors that Cathe uses I jumped over to google to see if that was the right name. On their website LOL they have a picture of Rhonda, Cedie, Jai and Brenda! Here's link: http://www.gerflortaraflex.com/fitness/fitness.html Don't know if that's the exact...

I'm back. Since Jennifer mentioned Hardcore Extreme, I decided to do that this afternoon. What a wicked workout. Afterwards, I went right out to clean up our backyard (aka 'poopie patrol'), then cut the grass and turned over the garden soil. Funny thing, I still had on my HRM and saw that I...

Hi Melty friends. Sorry I've been away for a couple days but between work and social obligations it gets hard to find time to get in here to post. This morning I've had my two coffees and oatmeal so now I'm plotting what my workout will be today. I've totally gotten out of the habit of making...

Good evening melters. It looks like it's been a busy thread today. This morning I took a rest day. DH is working this weekend so, I plan on working out both Sat and Sun this week. I really love it when I can work out, take my post-workout shower, then relax with a cup of coffee! Weekend...

RE: Hey MELTING G'day melters. This morning was Supersets. I hadn't done that one in a while, so it's nice to do a workout I haven't done 100 times before. I get bored so easily, I still don't know how I did it years ago using the same 4 or 5 Firm videos day after day for months on end...

RE: ++ Let's This morning was Christi Taylor Totally Cool Step. I never get tired of that one! Tonight I'm getting a haircut, the first in a while. I've been growing out some of my layers over the last couple months as I'd like to transition to a longer layered style (still above my shoulders...

RE:_melting Sunday. Hi melter gals. I'm late checking in but it's been a busy weekend. Yesterday I took my mother to a quilt show in Lancaster PA. I didn't workout yesterday but I think I walked 10 miles at the show! Then when I got home I took the dog for a nice long walk because it was a...
