I'm doing it for the first time! I started last Saturday and am doing the 6-month cycle. So, today was a repeat of W1D1: Chest, Shoulders and Biceps. I went heavier today, and I sure feel it!!

Wow, I could have sworn I posted since November 5th. How weird that I haven't!!! Maybe some of my posts disappeared. I've been keeping up with workouts for the most part, working out about 5 times a week, keeping active, and getting out with my dogs as well. I've been bringing in PiYo and...

This week went well as far as workouts but not as planner or expected. It should have been Week 2, Phase III of 20-minute body. But, after I returned from walking the dogs early Monday AM, my husband was up and wanting to work out, so we ended up doing PiYo. I continued the trend with Cathe...

Wow, I can't believe it's been a month since I posted!!!! I've still been hanging in there with the 20-minute Body Workout. This week, I did Week 1 of Phase III. What's interesting about this workout is that I don't think the workouts actually get harder from phase to phase. The warm ups...

Wow, The Universe really IS conspiring against my workout schedule, but I am fighting back!! So, as I said above, I switched Mon/Tues to Sun/Mon, and that worked out well. So, Monday was the 4x4. Turns out that it IS a totally different workout for Phase 2. Same name. That is so weird! They...

Life is conspiring against my workout schedule, and so I've missed just about every Saturday workout so far. Last weekend was due to my son's slumber party. This Saturday, it was because I had to take a life insurance exam, which meant fasting and no vigorous exercising. I did get in a dog...

Continued with the program today with the 4x4. That is a love/hate workout for me. I really don't love doing the moves; I find that capoeira moves to be hard. However, I like that it is a challenge that gets my heart rate up there and it also is great for the legs and butt! Continuing...

The log on for this site has been weird; it doesn't keep me logged on. Then, it says I have an invalid name/password but then lets me on anyway. I've been keeping up with 20-minute Body, though I did miss two workouts last week, one day because I was tired and another day because my 12-yo had...

Today's workout was 30 Hi 30 Low. I did 3 of 4 rounds. Still trying not to push it too hard as I continue on antibiotics and I and my whole family get past whatever illness is lingering. No walk today because it rained, but I will be out later getting some walking in my my sons' cross country...

So, turns out last week that I had Strep Throat, not really the flu. I'm still on antibiotics and still sort of recovering from it. But, I lost an entire week of working out trying to rest and recover. I decided to start over the 20-minute body program, and I started yesterday. After taking...

The flu has had me sidelined since Monday, so I've done no workout except a few yoga stretches on Tuesday AM. Sadly, being sick has not contributed to any weight loss. :) I never "call in sick" to my workouts; but with the flu, I gotta. I might just start at the beginning of 20-minute body...

Yesterday, I did the Cardio Capoiera bonus DVD that came with the program. It is actually scheduled on the calendar, so I am not sure why they consider it a bonus. Anyway, Saturday workouts are always harder for me because I wake up earlier and have less energy since it's been longer without...

Today was another 20-minute body workout called Primal Moves or something to that effect (Primal Movement?). Anyway, this was the same workout I did on Monday, so I wasn't sure about doing it twice, but when it started, it all came back to me. Good workout to do twice in a week, with other...

I've continued with the 20-minute body program this week. Tuesday and Wednesday were two different workouts. All are low-impact, 30-minutes. My husband would argue that yesterday's workout was not all low impact, as there were jumping lunges and these ski moves, but those kinds of things...

Hello! So, I started 20-minute body. The trainer is Brett Hoebel, who did RevAbs for Beachbody. My husband and I got good results with RevAbs, and I was looking for a shorter program, so I wanted to try this. I enjoyed the first workout in that it was low impact but really got my heart rate...
