Hi guys -sorry I haven't been around this week! Just busy with holiday stuff and everything ...had a pretty good week! Lots of yoga, successful concerts, and Christmas prep. Much of the same planned for the next little while...the big news is my husband and I got each other snowshoes for...

Hey Ladies! Sorry for not being around for a couple of days! Cathy - good job on the workouts! Such discipline :) Jane - I'm so glad to hear you're doing okay with your eye and everything else too. I'm looking forward to getting back to heavy weights in the new year. For now I'm sticking to...

Hello ladies! Just starting up the thread for this week. As the holidays approach, here's hoping we can keep up the good work with our workouts as schedules get filled with things to do and foods to eat :) My plan this week is to focus on yoga everyday, walk whenever I can, and hopefully...

Hey ladies! Cathy, I LOVE Shiva Rea :) I have pretty much every DVD/CD she's put out..I have an enormous DVD library and also am a member of YogaGlo, which is a monthly membership site that has a huge library of yoga practices of all lengths/types/teachers, and is super awesome. If you like...

Hey Jane! Glad you liked the article! I thought the message was great :) I did some yoga today and then taught a yoga class - I'm a certified instructor and have a few private clients. A group of 3 ladies that get together each week (we usually meet at one lady's home, but it switches around...

Here is a great link to an inspiring article - there is some language, so be forewarned if you are sensitive to such things. I only managed yoga and a walk today, but am inspired to hit the weights tomorrow after reading this! A Couple Good Reasons (and One Bad One) to Drag Your Crippled Ass...

Hey Cathy and Jane - workouts look great! Yesterday ended up being a write off after a flurry of housework ended up exhausting me and flaring up my legs. Grrrr.... Oh well, a day of rest didn't hurt, and today I've already gone for a nice little walk and finished off my Christmas shopping -...

Hey All, Another week, and at least here in Newfoundland another sunny day :) I went for a fantastic mini-hike yesterday, and hopefully will get another walk in today as well. My plan for this week (I'm feeling ambitious as I seem to be on the mend), with walks as many days as weather...

Hi ladies! Jane - I know what you mean about the Athletic Training premix! I just did the 22 minute express and it was great! Just what I needed in terms of duration and effort :) I've been feeling pretty good the last day or so. Still dealing with pain etc., but not enough to keep me from...

Hey all - had a lovely time last night, although by the end of the evening my legs were pretty bad. It was well worth the good time though :) I may well try a workout this afternoon after I have a couple meetings I have to attend. I am feeling better, but after standing for an hour or so last...

Hey Jane - thanks for the kind words :) I'm feeling marginally better - yesterday I walked a couple kilometres and did 20 minutes of yoga. And I had rehearsal, so I managed pretty well overall. Not Cathe workout well, but better than the last couple of days! I'm hoping to try something...

hello ladies - glad to hear you're getting your workouts in! I'm afraid yesterday and today were not conducive to working out for me. Yesterday I just basically rested the whole day, and was still exhausted. Slept in this morning, then went to meetings and had a good work day from an interest...

Yikes - it's almost December!! Starting the thread for this week - good luck to all of us battling chronic health issues. Fit in those workouts when you can :)

Hi Cathy - great news on the workout and the sleep! You must feel so much better with a decent night's rest. Last night I was so tired I was in bed by 9:30 so I had quite a long rest...hmmm, that may have been a signal something was amiss last night. The leg thing is a pain (literally and...

Managed to do Slide and Glide Cardio yesterday -really love that express workout! With the burpees and core work, I really feel it's a great all over conditioning routine. I also went out to a get together last night, and ran errands in the morning. Was feeling good! Which brings me to...
