This is actually something that has been on my mind a lot lately. I am 44 (will be 45 in less than 2 months) and I am finding things harder than I used to. Not so much strength training but plyometrics. I have always been a lover of all things Insanity, plyo and HIIT--even with metal plates and...

Good morning. It's been a while since I've checked in--since last Saturday. Here is what I've done since: Sunday: Element Yoga: Strength & Flexibility Monday: STS #28 Chest & Back; Doubles: X10 Cardio Blast Tuesday: STS #29 Plyo Legs; Doubles: Core Fusion Barre: 2 segments (one for thighs and...

I know it could. She has already been to France twice. We took her a few years ago and she then she went on a fellowship her last year of high school. She is a linguistics major in college so I do know it is important for her to do these study abroads. She speaks French fluently and she also...

We must have posted at the same time Nathalie! Yes--the Paris terrorist attacks are horrible! Thank goodness my daughter is no longer in Paris. She was planning to study abroad there this summer but she is rethinking her plans. And I am discouraging her from doing it now!

This morning was STS #37 Squat Rack Legs + 4x12 heavy barbell hip thrusts. Nathalie--I actually used the hip thrusts from the link you posted a while back (that I saved) Jessie Hilgenberg's 7 move leg workout. I even had it queued up on my iphone so as soon as I finished Squat Rack Legs I could...

Good morning--how is everyone doing? Glad you are feeling better Tslop--hope you are getting the strength gains you want. Nathalie--how is your father doing? Yesterday was 4DS Kickbox/Lower Body/Core and this morning was P90X2 P.A.P. Upper + Core Fusion/Pure Core.

thanks again ladies! I really am so glad my reviews are helpful. Believe it or not they are helpful to me to! When deciding what workouts to do when creating a rotation I use that blog like a database. but I am really glad other people find it useful too!

My husband and I have the day off today for Veteran's Day so I planned to sleep in but I didn't sleep well so I was up early anyway. I did STS #27 Shoulders, Biceps & Triceps + X10 Low Impact. My glutes are so sore from Plyo Legs yesterday! Seriously--I am groaning when I sit and stand! It is...

Good morning! Yesterday was STS #25 Chest & back; doubles was Toby Massenburg's Ignite. This morning was STS #26 Plyo Legs and planned doubles is 2 segments from Core Fusion Barre.

Jodi--I love Travel Fit too--and I never do it! I always want to but never seem to work it into my rotations. Have a great vacation!

Glad to see you posting again Nathalie! Enjoy kicking your own butt--that is what I have been doing this rotation. Even my recovery week is kicking my own butt! Also--tho each Leg workout in Meso 1 does have a bonus, they are not all barre bonuses. They are different in each workout--sometimes...

Good morning! I don't know how much of a "recovery week" this is turning out to be for me! Maybe for my upper body and high impact workouts--but my legs and glutes are still being brutalized by all of these barre workouts! I have to say, I am loving this new way of training. It has given me...

thanks for sharing that Nathalie! Great clip!

I love you guys! What a surprise to discover this thread this morning! I am so glad you ladies find my reviews helpful! Elsie--I agree, TA's lower body can be hard on the hips. I actually like that part tho. I don't find a lot of workouts that work the hips. Well, this is my barre week and I...

Yeah, I agree. That article didn't put it in context. I think you're right. It probably is things like barre and pilates. However many of those barre workouts make me work up a sweat! And my muscles are burning for hours afterward. Great Glutes is a great workout. I keep going back and forth...

Jodi--the arm thing was so weird in Perfect Design! She did something similar to it in the Mat workout, but it was different. It was more controlled and it could easily be followed. I'm not saying I want to transition to using no weights, and when I do no more than 3 pounds, but I won't lie--8...

Good morning. This morning was another Tracy Anderson workout: The Method Mat. I actually really liked this one for the most part. It is definitely different from anything I have ever done before and Tracy has some absurd ideas--but it is not an ineffective workout. I cannot ever see using her...

Good morning everyone! Healing11, that is a good question and I would also like to hear opinions because that quote IMHO is kind of confusing. I thought workouts like Afterburn, Athletic Training, CF/TTM, etc. were all metabolic weight training which has an EPOC effect (afterburn)--but they...

Does the live streaming and workout blender work with Apple TV?

Meso 2 is over! I cannot tell you how relieved I am. And it is not the STS workouts that I am thrilled to leave behind--it is Butt Bible and EBE2!!! They are excellent workouts (so no buyers or exercisers remorse!) but I am sick of them and they were wearing me the @#$%& out. I am so excited...
