Thank you! I'll check it out.

What adjustable barbells do you use?

I agree! I've worked out with this crew for years and feel like I know them but have never even heard them speak. I guess hard work is a bonding experience. :)

When I'm doing stretches on the floor, my cat always comes sniffing around like he's seeing if I'm okay.

I agree with the others. What a great thread! And, Renee, CONGRATS on quitting smoking! That is the single BEST thing any smoker can do for their health. (And their budget, and the way they smell, etc. etc...) Over the last few years, I too quit smoking, which I am most proud of since...

OOPS! "Lean Officer.com" contains many grammatical errors, which always makes me suspicious. I wouldn't rely on that site for accurate information. I apologize if I offended anyone.

The only thing about "Lean Officer.com"

I had a brain aneurysm while I was working out so nothing scares me any more. ☺ Sorry. I know that's only funny looking back now but I just HAD to post. And NO. Working out did NOT cause the aneurysm. I was probably born with a defective blood vessel. If anything, being a regular exerciser...

THROW THE SCALE AWAY. I was a slave to the scale for what should have been the best years of my life. If the number was up, I was depressed all day. I wish I could go back in time and shake myself. Please don't obsess over a number.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this workout! SO much variety and NO dread factor. Cathe knows how to sneak broccoli into our ice cream. Ha. BTW, what a GREAT reminder about maintaining your posture when you put your weights away. I laughed when she showed us what NOT to do because that's exactly what I did...

Anyone who can keep up with Cathe and crew through the push-ups/sit-ups section is AWESOME! I'm not there YET...

How about XTrain t-shirts? Here's one suggestion: ALL ABOARD THE XTRAIN!

My fav is "Get down, get ugly".

THIS GETS MY VOTE!!!!!

What a great reminder about going at your own pace. Sometimes I forget that I don't have to keep up with everyone right away. I know I'll be slowing it down during the next sit up/push up combo. O.M.G. How humbling! But I LOVE it! Because every time I'll get stronger. BTW, how cool is it that...

I feel so much better that it's not just me. ☺ I literally stumbled and almost fell. Talk about a buzz kill. Something to work toward.

I did All Out yesterday and loved it! Except for the switch kick lunges. I felt like an uncoordinated buffoon trying to do those. Did anyone else have trouble with these? Maybe I'm over thinking them.

I decided to go for it and played the option with all five levels. I did give myself "permission" to quit early if I got dizzy or started gasping for air without being able to recover within a reasonable amount of time. However, that never happened! I may have been subconsciously pacing myself...

I am scared of HS's push-up/abs series. I'm afraid it will be my punishment for gloating about Tabatacise and my rewind button will get an overuse injury.

Thanks! What a sweet thing to say. Just be consistent and your strength gains will amaze you.
