I was such a zombie yesterday that I forgot to check in, even though I was on the forum. Yesterday I did HSTA, but no abs. Today I FINALLY had a decent night of sleep, so Step Fit seemed pretty tame. The cool down portion made me laugh "I'm not going into how to do the arms, because by now...

Hello: Lord, I'm tired too! I'm starting to get a sore throat. I haven't been sleeping as well as I should be. I think work is stressing me out too much. Today I did Stepworks and 1-5 IMAX 1. I only ate cereal for dinner last night and I didn't have enough gas this morning. I got...

This morning I did CTX upper body split. There is no way in @$*& I would have had time to do both. I won't do it tonight either, as my dh will be out and it will be just me and my little one. I need to spend time with him tonight, and by the time he goes to bed it will only be about 1 hour...

We joined in July. I've been twice, but my dh goes nearly every day because he likes to swim. We also like the family pool for the kids, as we have no other outdoor pool available. Maybe in the winter I'll go more often. The classes I've been to are similar to Cathe's. I'll only go on...

I didn't do the mish mosh either, and after reading your posts, I'm glad. I simply do not like these calesthenic type exercises, plus I wouldn't have had the time to do this. I did do the last mish-mosh, but it was shorter and I was traveling, so it was convenient to not need equipment at the...

That fact that you even want to try makes you a winner! What percentage of the population couldn't give a rip? Probably more than half. Hang in there. ALL of us have to fight our own demons every day.

I do both. If I see a rotation (Cathe's or someone else's like A-Jock) that interests me I'll follow it pretty closely, but usually end up modifying a slight bit. Other times I don't follow a rotation at all and just decide the day of, although when I'm doing this, I usually at least rotate...

I powered through MIC today, but I didn't have my usual level of energy. I did not have to modify (actually think this one is easier than most of Cathe's cardio). My lack of sleep and still maintaining this level is catching up with me. I find this video boring, like another person said, and...

This morning I did HSC on 5 hours sleep. I didn't have time for the KM drills. I'm undecided about if I'll do them tonight. I may be out of gas by then and I don't want to have to shower again for a 20 minute workout. Plus, yesterday I didn't finish KPC until 4:45 pm due to my work schedule...

Good day all: I had to be at work at 6:30 today, so didn't get my full workout in yet. I did the PLB stability ball work and the ab work from KPC. Will get the rest of KPC done this afternoon.

Mine is Michele with the French spelling. Guess my parents just thought it sounded good with Susan. Why the French spelling? I don't know, but I think the Beatles song "Michele...." was out about then.

Hello all: Today I did Bootcamp x 1. I don't intend to do it again tonight. I only had about 6 hours of sleep, but even so, I still didn't intend to do it twice. Like Cathe's post on the "ask Cathe" board said, you have to listen to your body. That is too much for me during the week on...

Tonight is my 14th and final time with those $&^$@@ strips! The first 2 days my teeth were very sensitive, so much that I didn't want to eat. (Hmmmm :o :o :o ) Then that went away and now there are places on my teeth where apparently the enamel is worn away and the pain from the strips about...

I think the fact that you are raising these questions shows you have some doubts of your own. Listen to your gut instinct. Like the other poster said, these things rarely, if ever, get better.

Good morning all: Today I subbed Power Max for the running. It is about 90 degrees and raining here and my DH was on the treadmill this morning when I work out. Plus running on the treadmill is way too boring for me to handle at 5 am! This weekend I was at my parents and I even hauled my...

I couldn't fall asleep last night so this morning it was difficult to get up. Consequently, I didn't get the complete workout in and will have to finish tonight. I will be starting with the low impact hi/lo segment and use that as my warm-up tonight. Then I'll finish SJP minus stretch and...

Fitmum: congrats on that accomplishment and your story about your DH is hilarious! Nancy: I'm similar to you and others that have posted previously. When I tell people I do home videos, they immediately think 1982 Jane Fonda with leg warmers and I get the condescending look. I also...

Thanks to all for the responses, especially for the link. There is one Polar (M-61 I think) that has all those cool features discussed here, but also holds profiles for 2 people, so my DH could use it too. He already has a strap; it works with our treadmill. It is way easier to convince...

I'm looking for one that shows the calorie burn as well as the basic heart rate. Do you have to wear the strap on your chest or is a wrist only model effective? I've found those straps to be terribly restrictive. Thanks for your feedback!

Hello to all: Just saw the rotation last night, as we were traveling on vacation. I missed out on Bodymax, but will put that in after the 4 weeks are complete and before Cathe posts September. So I did IMAX 1 and 200 stationary lunges (not enough room for walking ones). Sandra: I...
