    Got the plague over here being passed around the kids. Not Coronavirus since no foreign country would ever welcome my crazy bunch, just a bad cold. I'm loving reading your posts so thanks for keeping the thread going! Just a heads up that I won't be chiming in for a few days!

    Who wants step tutorials?

    Yes, would love creative low impact modifications for higher impact moves, please! I.e., more than just "take the jump out of it." Cathe, only you can save us from the same old same old modified moves, lol!

    All in Upper Body from Cathe Live today. I haven't done a Live workout in ages. I liked it, plus Al was in the class which is always a bonus. He's so strong he motivates me to push myself! Tom, great workout and even happier that you and your team are #1 right now. I think you are an honorary...

    Leg day done! And since you're all so curious about it, the new Dyson works great! The other Dyson must have been dying for a long time because the volume of gunk and hair the new vacuum suctioned up was enough to make you lose your lunch o_O So friends, make sure your vacuums are working...

    Tom's a new man!!! This is awesome! And dude, as soon as you cut out your March Madness Twizzlers binges, you'll be down to 180 in no time. Congratulations on your benching and the fact that you're feeling good. Karen, I hear you on Winter lack of motivation. I'm hoping in a few weeks it will...

    Are my workouts becoming counterproductive?

    Not a dumb question at all. Signs include, but are not limited to: fatigue; slowed metabolism; decreased performance during workouts; inability to build muscle (which you mentioned is happening to you).

    Are my workouts becoming counterproductive?

    You're welcome! Given your food sensitivities seems like it would be hard to eat the caloric intake needed for you to match your activity level. You can still do the workouts and walks that you love, just shorten them a little to experiment. @Repo has a good suggestion of starting by cutting...

    Are my workouts becoming counterproductive?

    Hi, I can only answer for me and my body, and the answer would be yes. Overtraining. Similar amounts of intensity and length of activity would, for me personally, send my cortisol levels through the roof and disrupt other hormone levels as well. I'd be achy, and overly hungry, constantly sore...

    Karen, I wish I liked riding my spinning bike more than I do. Do you and your DH still ride bikes outside together? Lol on your surprise front yard guests yesterday! That would have freaked me out, but not as much as the raccoon that was inhabiting Tom's workout basement a couple months ago...

    Oh, I believe it! Endless reps with lighter weights can give deadly DOMS. Keep up your gusto, Tom! I did back, tris, shoulders yesterday and took a walk today. Trying also to make time for deep stretching about 3x/week. It feels great when I actually make it happen! Have a great end of the...
