Hello again, cheetahs!
I just came back from a tanning session and and am now sitting down to a quick lunch before I hit the EXT. Have to leave at 3:30 for the reception, so I’m hoping I can also squeeze in my lesson plans in there. Maybe, maybe not. I think I fooled around the computer too long this morning, pricing ski trips.
Linda :: I am of the mindset that it’s almost never too late to try something new. Look at some of the seniors who jump out of airplanes! Especially for someone as fit as you are, skiing is not too far-fetched. With a few lessons under your belt, you’d probably be zipping down the slopes in no time…I would say DON’T add extra cardio…or perhaps as Shelly suggested, plan loosely for an extra cardio day or two but feel free to scrap it if you’re so inclined. I think the rotation I’m about to begin is rather X-like…it’s far less cardio than what I’d normally plan for myself, but I’m hoping the HIIT really punches things up.
Carole :: OMG, insane pictures! I’m glad you and Christine are OK. Hope Susan is too. How was church without power? I say throw out some of DH’s tools (which he isn’t using for his *unfinished* projects ) and make room for a BOSU!
Christine :: After seeing the images of all the storm destruction, I’m glad the worst of the damage for you was your fence…hope it’s not much to repair…holy smokes! What a storm!…On the Thai food…really? I usually walk away feeling a bit lighter than I do after some other Asian fare. It was funny…I saw a thread on PF Chang’s on the O/F the other day and how bad it is, and what did I do? I promptly drove there after work and ordered me some take-out. *lol* Ya know, I’m joking about how lazy I’ve been this week, but I’ve actually quite enjoyed it. I think a mostly-rest week once a year is a good thing for me.
Lorie :: I am doing a heavy weights/HIIT rotation of my own design, modeled after BFL. After hearing about Gayle’s success and seeing so many people rave about HIIT, I thought it might be a good change of pace for me. The idea of shorter but intense workouts is appealing. Yes, we do have a long stretch ahead. My friends and family who work outside of education don’t like to hear anything of the sort – they think it’s a cush job – but the breaks we get truly are much-needed ones! How was yesterday’s presenter?…The San Fran mary sounds like a good one in term of swag. BUT all those hills??? Egads! *lol*…hope the EXT workout agrees with your piriformis!
Jackie :: oh, it was a $49 membership at one point?? I see it’s $79 now. Hunh. iTread #22 sounds like a GREAT workout. Consider me enabled. I just wrote that one down.
Shellster :: Oh, I’m so excited that you love your BOSU!!!! :7 :7 :7 I am amazed, too, how it really gets down in your core. And the more I think about it, I am surprised that this thing hasn’t taken off more than it has. Of my fitness-minded friends IRL, I don’t know anyone who trains with it. It’s just a phenomenal piece of equipment!! Ohhhh, how I heart this thing! And I have our dear Wendy to thank because she inspired my impulse purchase! *lol*…We went back to school last Wednesday, so I’m back in my normal workin’ groove. If I can squeeze it in, I would like to at least knock out the coming week’s lesson plans…but either way, I’ll definitely have work to do tomorrow between planning, grading, and National Board stuff.
OK, I think that catches me up. Will kick back a little bit and then hit the EXT.
ETA: Hi Susan! Your post snuck past me there. Glad you are well. Enchanted does look interesting - thanks for the review. Enjoy Sizzler!
