Belinda, interesting that Cathe has changed the names of some moves. So many instructors have their own names for their exercises that they do. Enjoy the birthday .
Jolie, I hope that you had fun watching the game. Nice job getting in the workout first.
Roxie, Dallas seems like it would be a little better. Nice workout today.
Roselyn, nice workout.

Today I did Cathe Live Strong Upper Body Express and had a pretty good workout. I liked this workout and it's only 40 minutes. I would have been much better with three rounds of everything, but I guess that's the reason it's only 40 minutes. Had a great workout.

Core
Core work was good but the planks went on forever. I'm not very strong with my plank work, I need to work on that. My waist is VERY tight today, as well as my lower back. There were a lot of cobras and supermans in the yoga work I did yesterday and I think I over-did it. It's almost painful to twist today.
Workout was 41 minutes, burned 247 calories and HR was 126/155.
Also walked on my treadmill for .59 miles, burned another 70 calories and did 1455 steps.
Roxie - If you are seeing a difference, don't worry so much about what the scale is showing with body fat. I used to use one of those plastic pincher things, I still have it but never use it anymore. They are pretty accurate. Just keep doing what you're doing. I hope you are eating throughout the day, remember what we said about that.
Diane - Your lunch on Saturday with your daughters sounds like heaven. I love eating by the lake, my DH and I do that as much as possible in the summer. Thank you so much for posting the workout I did today, I figured you might have had it. I printed it out before I worked out this morning, that really helps to know what to set up for. I agree about the meditation thing too, I feel like I'm wasting time. I tried to do it a little bit and felt very relaxed after my yoga so that was good. I really am enjoying those workouts.
Belinda - Happy Birthday to your son and I know what you mean about getting old. My step daughter is 34 and I can't believe it. I hope you had a great time with your family.
Jolie - Did you try Vertical Load #2? Or was that the one you have done before? Nice job with the workout. Did your team win?
Roselyn - Nice job with your cardio workout!!
Have great workouts everyone!!! It's 50 degrees here today, we go from negative 25 to 50 in a matter of a week. Crazy!!!

Today I wanted to try Kelly's new RIpped and RIde February workout. That was 43 minutes (37 actual) I stayed on the spin bike a bit longer a couple of times and I wrote down the exercises and format. 248 calories, met 7.0, 1,691 steps, heart rate 116 average, 146 max. I then did Lite Pyramid Pump Lower Body scrambled lower. I don't think I will do this one again. It has all of the gliding disc segments strung together in the middle. I noticed that there is no squats in this lower body workout. I almost did the lower body part of the Total Body mix which does no discs. That cuts out a lot of the lower body workout though. It has lower first without the discs and then on to upper. Maybe another time. Lower body was 51 minutes (45 actual) heart rate average 109, 135 max , met 6.5. 259 calories, 1098 steps. Total time was 84 minutes, 507 calories, 2,789 steps.

Debbie, I often feel like I could have done more when I do short workouts. Maybe it is because it doesn't wear me out as much even when I put a lot into it. Nice work and I am glad you caught my post before you did it this morning. I once did a yoga and stayed for the meditation part and it got quiet with just ocean waves for awhile. I fell asleep and the woman scared me half to death when she started talking again LOL I am not sure that that was so calming for me after all. I really don't know that that is really necessary unless you never relax at all. Have you ever tried the relax feature on the Fit Bit? I have done that when I went to bed. It does seem to calm me down a bit instead of my mind racing all over when I just want to fall asleep.

Today was a scheduled rest day for the week, I knew I would be really tired from screaming at the tv all day yesterday! Go Patriots!!!! I am tired today because I couldn't wind down to sleep It has been raining here for 3 days so hard like nothing I have seen in a long time. Staying home today and re watching the Super Bowl tonight because I missed part of it because of cooking ect.
Debbie, I did the Vertical Load #1 workout that I did last week. The #2 workout uses a ball instead of a bench so I will have to fore go the ball for some exercises when I try it this week. Some things on the ball just hurt my low back but I know it is great for stability and core work. Great job on the workout this morning, I like that workout too. I like the express workouts when I am short on time but want to get in a workout for the upper body.
Diane Sue, I just went out and got myself a Breville Juicer, Cold Press ! I am so excited. My first drink that I will make tomorrow after I go to Costco for a veggie and fruit haul will be, Spinach, Kale, Cucumber, Celery, Turmeric, Ginger, Apple, lemon and parsley with Cayenne Pepper on the top. I cant wait!!!! Great job on the workout today and way to go on that calorie burn! I made home made chicken soft tacos with cabbage, onions and cilantro, cheese, lime for the Super Bowl and they were awesome and clean eating, all organic.
Belinda, Happy Birthday to your son and I am happy that you all had such a great time together. Great job getting the workout in this morning.
I will be back later to read the other posts.
Have a nice day.

Belinda, you are so good at getting those workouts done. I am not sure I would have after being away overnight. I would have just considered it a day off
Jolie, the mixture you plan on for your first juice sounds really good. When we were at the restaurant yesterday they had fish tacos. I was disappointed because they were in flour tortillas. I am not fond of flour tortillas. A good organic corn tortilla is what I will eat on occasion. Particularly Food For Life brand or La Tortilla factory. Chicken tacos sound really good.
Roselyn, nice job getting stacked in. I have heard various reviews on the band workout, but I do not have that one. I know Doreen has done it and I am not sure if Belinda has done it or not as she is using a friend's dvds.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me.

Well I ran for the first time since I can't remember when and did Cardio Coach #1. I only did Challenge 1 & 2 because my hamstring and glute was getting tight and I didn't want to push my luck. It felt great to run again. Of course I didn't go as fast as I did before all of this happened, but I will work my way back up to that. I can't believe how well I did and it felt like I never stopped running. So excited! I just hope my hamstring doesn't start feeling it.
I also did the band stretch workout from Stretch Max. Love that one.
Workout was 32 minutes, burned 269 calories, did 2.21 miles and went 4480 steps. HR was 145/181.
Diane - I seen Kelly posted the Ripped and Ride workout, it looks like fun. I could probably do that with my treadmill maybe? She has such fun workouts out there, I love them all. Good job with your workouts! Oh I was LMAO when I read what happened with your meditation. LOL!!! OMG, that was so funny. I'm sure that did scare you, especially because you are so relaxed and almost sleeping. Too funny.
Belinda - Nice job yesterday and this morning with LIIFT4! You are rockin' it!! Glad you had fun with your family!
Jolie - Yea, not sure I would want to do the Vertical Load #2 with the ball, I'm not a big fan of working out on the ball with weights. Glad your team won the Superbowl!
Roselyn - Great job with the Stacked workout. That just sounds interesting. Is that one of Cathe's new ones?

Review on the Lite Body Weights & Bands. I liked it. It's better than her other band workout which I never use even when I travel.Is it a must in my collection...NO! If I travel I don't want to schlepp around, tubing, bands and loops. I also used my tubing for a lot of exercises instead of the bands. For the bands press down, I used my loop instead. My Cathe green bands are tough as nails I don't think they ever gonna give in.

Review on the Lite Body Weights & Bands. I liked it. It's better than her other band workout which I never use even when I travel.Is it a must in my collection...NO! If I travel I don't want to schlepp around, tubing, bands and loops. I also used my tubing for a lot of exercises instead of the bands. For the bands press down, I used my loop instead. My Cathe green bands are tough as nails
I don't think they ever gonna give in.

Let me start out by saying I am very nauseous because I started using Efudex yesterday on my forehead to fight off pre cancer cells. This is a topic form of chemotherapy and it is making me very fatigued, nauseous and I have a headache. I did it last year and I don't remember feeling this bad. I am not sure if I will get used to it or I might have to stop using it. I just used the smallest amount and I already see it working.
Today I chose a kick butt workout and I was not aware it was going to be this tuff. I did Cathe Live Total Body Giant Sets. Wow! A lot of ab and leg work with upper body mixed in. I had to modify a few exercises because I wanted to lift heavier and do lower reps with no pulses. I am dead. Workout was 1 hour and 5 minutes because I wrote the workout down as I went for you all, and I burned 543 calories. I stuck in extra leg ext. and KB swings at the end Average heart rate was 122 and max was 163.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be doing this one again for sure
Debbie, I am so excited that you got to run today! You are going to be walking around with a smile on your face today, hopefully your hamstring and glute wont be hurting later. I have been following a girl on instagram that is going through the same thing, she has completely rested it for 8 weeks and she still feels the same way. I know she is very frustrated like you are over the issue. If it was a tear you really need to rest it for 12 weeks.
Belinda, great job on the workout today! I typically dont like bands for some reason they hurt my shoulders. I am glad that you tried it anyway just for the feedback
I will check out the other posts later in the day. I hope you all have great workouts like I did!
Still raining here it is just crazy!

Today I did Lite Cardio Party, 40 minutes, met 8.0, 283 calories, 3,752 steps, heart rate average 138, max 173, and wore 1# gloves. I then did Lite Pyramid Pump Upper body rearranging the order of the exercises to see how more shoulders would handle it, starting with arms. I did okay but lowered on some of the chest and the shoulders. Generally I go a bit higher than Cathe on all of it. This was 45 minutes, heart rate 103 average, 130 max, met 6.0, 239 calories, 826 steps. Total time was 85 minutes, calories burned 522, steps 4578. I will work abs tomorrow since I have run out of time.

Debbie, nice job today on the steps and getting back to the treadmill workouts. Ripped and Ride is like the Home Gym Intervals. They just seem to have a bit longer amount of time on the cardio equipment. I am sure that you could do it with your treadmill. Kelly says you can use any piece of equipment, a rebounder or just jog in place and do floor cardio of choice. The one thing I do not like about a spin bike is the lower step count I get out of it. Somehow pedaling equals less steps. It does not help when I use the spinning setting on my Fit Bit. Trying to calculate calories through Cathe's workout manager and met levels with my weight for a spin bike is a bit difficult. I figured yesterday as moderate spinning. Although I felt I was working hard. I think I came close enough though. I like doing those workouts on the Tread Climber. It just takes adjustments for me as I have not checked to see if I can get the VHX channel set up on the tv in the bedroom. My husband watches Netflix and Directv Now, so I am sure I can get it through the Roku in there. I just have not done it. Either that or I use my laptop or tablet. I would have to drag weights downstairs because the dumbbells downstairs are 20 # pair and 40# pair that my husband uses along with a barbell and weight bench. It is just easier to use the spin bike Maybe if you keep using heat and stretching as you work back into things and keep it up, the problem will subside.
LOL it is pretty scary when you fall asleep in a completely quiet house alone and someone starts talking. The lady wasn't even that quiet when she started talking.
Belinda, I am still trying to decide which of the Lite series that I want to get next. Maybe Metabolic. I really think I would be dissatisfied if I did not get both of the stacked workouts at the same time. Then there is PHA. I don't know exactly how I feel about it. I would have to look at the premixes. It seems like on the Strong and Sweaty one, I split the upper and lower with premixes quite a bit. That or did longer premixes. The Pyramid Pump can get tough after 5 sets, but, they are only 7 minutes long other than back that is 10 minutes for each body part. I kind of feel like I am not working the body parts well enough. Particularly if I only do one body part. I was going to split it today , but felt I wasn't working hard enough.
Body weight and bands would probably be the last of the workouts if I were to purchase it. It does sound better, by reviews than some of the others.
Jolie, is that something that your doctor prescribed? Maybe you need an alternative. Have you had problems with pre-cancers? I am not sure if I have done that workout or not. There were a couple that I did that were pretty tough that sort of cause a dread when I looked at them going through the menu again They were seriously tough. That does look like a good workout. And you added to it at the end. At first I looked and was thinking I do not remember Cathe ever using a kettlebell or leg extensions like that

I was looking at the PHA and Metabolic workouts. They sure are short. If Metabolic didn't have the calorie crush it would be really short. No calorie crush with PHA 2? I guess that is how I see it. I looked at the moves in the bonus abs 2 and it sounds like abs 1 is better to me. Trying to decide which one I want. I just put some money from my check out 51 rebates back for one dvd.
