    Does anyone else have a pitiful tuck jump!?

    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

    Heart Rate Question for Cardio & HIIT workouts

    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...

    Talking back to Cathe

    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.

    Workouts with Medicine Balls

    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.

    new to program

    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...

    == MELTERS! Work Out! it's Wednesday! ==

    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...

    New Kids on the Block

    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...

    * * Get Up There MELTERS! It's Monday! * *

    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...

    Picture of Cathe's springy floor?

    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...

    @@ Hey MELTERS! It's the Weekend @@

    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...

    @@ Hey MELTERS! It's the Weekend @@

    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...

    **MELTERS! It's Wednesday Get Workin'! **

    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...

    Hey MELTING "Fools" it's Tuesday!

    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...

    ++ Let's "MELT"! It's Monday! ++

    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...

    "Melting" on a Wonderful Weekend!

    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...

    {{{ Melters! TGIF!! }}}

    Hi melty gals. This morning was no workout because I had to be at work by 3:30 am *yawn*. I had another implementation that had to be done while our users were not logged on. On the good side of going in early, I was able to leave work by noon. Tonight I will do some sort of step video but...

    * * Tuesday, the MELTING starts Now! * *

    Good evening melters. This morning was Muscle Max. Though I like this workout I think I need to increase weights because it seems just a tad too easy. I plan on doing it again on Thursday and Saturday so I'll up the weights and see what happens. I do have a funny story to relate, somewhat...

    {{{ Melting on Monday! }}}}}

    Hey melters! I'm back, 'memba me? After about 4 weeks of long hours and working weekends my big project at work was installed this past Friday (on time and on budget!). I'm still not ready to exhale yet but the worst is behind me. Now I can move onto the other projects waiting on my desk...

    **~ Melting on Hump Day ~**

    Hi ladies. This morning I was a really bad girl and took an unplanned rest day. I was just still so tired from working really late on Tuesday I opted to sleep an extra hour. I'll just make up the missed workout over the weekend. Leanne: That's awful about all that crap at your work...

    ~*~* Tuesday Melterama!!*~*~

    Hi Melters. Today was GS BSB. It was one of those days where the weights seemed heavier than usual! Robin: It's been family lore that we're related to Lewis Morris, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The Morris line is the one I've been working lately. I still have one...
