Hola, cheetahs
Wendy :: I’ve bought (and sold) a couple of other DVDs (and other items) through eBay, but I just won’t take the risk again. I would buy from you, though!
I picked up BC/ME last summer or early fall, and the seller assured me it was an authentic, but now I’m thinking I got snookered. It worked well for a little while, but then after a few runs, it started to freeze up to the point where the workout wasn’t doable…I’ve never done the overall legs premix. Curious about your thoughts next time you do do it…Sorry about the pain – but I see neither it nor the cramps put you outta commish. You’re a beast, woman! An absolute beast!
Jess :: glad you’re enjoying the new wheels…Squeeze is partly pilates-inspired, for sure…Thanks for the good thoughts on my job situation…it’s not really something I have a whole of say in. Unfortunately, you can be moved involuntarily to different teaching positions, and if you are a flexible person who doesn’t complain a lot, you find yourself being the go-to person. It’s true—like anywhere else—the squeakiest wheels get what they want. I am in my second year in my current district, so all of my previous moves occurred in my former district at the hands of another administration, but still…it is unsettling and more work to have to move, esp. if you switch grade levels, so I would rather stay put. I just hope there is an end to the bouncing around because constant change is just too stressful for my liking…Agreed with Shelly on CS… CTX has been on my wish list, too. I can’t wait to get that one!
Carole :: that is weird about BC/ME…I bought a new DVD player since I last played it, and I couldn’t even get it to run at all this time!…can’t wait to hear what you think of Tracey, too.
Sunny :: mmmm, you baked a cake for your son’s teacher???? You will be a goddess in her eyes!!!
I can’t wait until you try Squeeze, either!! I think it’s gonna give us those chiseled Serena legs!…And yes, you need a Garmin!!!!…Checked out the article link – how cool! A celeb in our midst!
Jackie :: thanks so much for your kind words about teachers.
The cheetahs are such a supportive group. I felt a warm fuzzy coming on just now. Sometimes I find myself wishing we all lived near each other, so we could see Jimmy in person, or babysit Jess’s girls when she & DH want a night on the town, or try Indian food with Christine & Susan, or rock out at the bingo hall, and of course, run some races together!…That sounds like a great price for the 305. I have the Garmin 201, and while I’m really happy with it, I do plan to go with the 305 when it’s time to upgrade. It’s an excellent tool—you will love it.
Linda :: thanks for the premix – looks awesome!! Maybe I’ll try that one this weekend instead of doing Tony or Cathe’s legs. ITA that it gets into different muscles. Frankly, I like it more than Fluidity. Squeeze is a keeper…I agree, running when you feel like it ain’t a bad plan, either, if you ask me. Sometimes the constraint of a rotation is too much. If you don’t have specific training goals, then I think going by how you feel for a while isn’t necessarily bad.
Shelly :: honestly, I don’t think I could do one of your workouts on my best day *LOL*…As I've said before, all I can do is bow down!
You do scare me when the evil smiley comes out.
For the Pine Beach 5K, I *know* I will be too slow to even eat your dust! *LOL*
Susan :: I’m curious about the new Firms, so I look forward to the review…Hey, it’s OK if you can’t be strong this Mother’s Day…the first holidays will be the hardest ones. I think you have to give into the emotions and let yourself grieve. We will be thinking of you, for sure.
Judy :: Here’s a link to the Squeeze site:
http://squeezebytracy.com/ It’s billed as a blend of pilates, yoga, ballet, isometric exercises, and resistance training for the whole body. You need a kickball and light handweights. I’ve only done the 26-minute shorter premix, but I really liked it. As mentioned, the pushups/dips were too easy after Cathe & Tony, but the rest of the exercises are surprisingly unique and challenging.
Gayle :: great job pushing yourself to workout – that’s no small feat at such an ungodly hour! Ooh, now you’re leaving us hangin’ about the possible job for next year!
Christine :: good to see ya! A rest day sounds like it’s in order. Hope you get to relax some after all the craziness.
Kristi :: sorry to hear about the vertigo…I hope you are better by Sunday and can resume your normal routine…take care & get well soon!!
Enjoyed a nice & easy 3-miler this afternoon w/ my friend. Now I still have to go figure out dinner and finalize a quiz for tomorrow. It may wind up being a little late for yoga.
