    Damage Control

    RWH is fantastic for weight work. It's the only one I was able to stick with for longer than a month. Tonight for me is Push weights of Fit Split. I have a 3 day weekend because my provider took tomorrow off and it's so much easier being off when she is. We are down 3 nurses and no one is...

    Well, I had a good week at work-so that was a nice change! I still seem to run out of energy by the end of the week, though. Between work and not sleeping real well Friday was tough to get through. 4 days of weights seems to be the best spot for me now. I'd like to do more, and did more from...

    Nice to hear you are finally getting some R&R time! I need to find a hiking buddy here. My DH is not into it either-he likes going on the streets and I get that-he doesn't want to fall. But we have so many hiking places where I live. It's so hard fitting in everything you want to do with...

    Well have a nice, relaxing time at the condo. It's like having a second home in the mountains-so nice for you guys! Not much new here. I'm thinking of just going back to two upper and two lower weight workouts/week though. Feeling kind of like I either need a change or a week off again-and...

    It's been a pretty good week. I was too tired to workout on Tuesday, but got up early on Wednesday to do Leaner Legs from Xtrain Express. Thursday was Back before Chest this time of Burn Sets and Saturday I broke out STS and did #14. Funny thing is it was trisets and it was 10 reps of each...

    How did everyone start exercising??

    I started exercising in March of 1986. I had broken my ankle in a car accident that year and the doctor told me to either swim or take up jogging or I would have a limp for the rest of my life. Well, I took up jogging. But I did not really like it that much so I went to the gym at my college...

    Happy Anniversary! We celebrated 31 last month, but actually forgot to celebrate then, so we did it this weekend. Our tradition is to have carrot cake and look at the pictures from the wedding. I made a carrot cake from the Moosewood Cookbook that is pretty healthy. We went out to eat once...

    How was Maine? I'm rolling along with Burn Sets from X-Train. I also started listening to a podcast by a physical therapist. She said the best exercises are horizontal and gave 4 examples: skull crushers, bicep curls, leg presses, and one I can't remember (lol)! I'm still walking lots and...

    I ended up having an xtrain weekend! Saturday was Burn Sets-Chest, Shoulders, Triceps. Sunday I did Cardio Leg Blast-just the weight section premix and then the Loop premix of lower body cardio. Monday was Burn Set Back and Bi's with abs at the end. I think I'm going to use Xtrain Burn sets...

    I’m loving the Boss Band & Loops Premixes

    I did the weight section only from Cardio Leg Blast then the low impact cardio section from the Boss Loops workout. It was a great add on and my legs are sore today!

    Damage Control

    The day after Boss Bands Total body my legs were a bit sore. I feel like it worked my arms well too. I will probably use it as premixes for upper and lower splits. That way I can use heavier bands and get repeat exercises. It was fun using the bands! I like the loop one better and can use...

    Hi! My week is going pretty good. I did the Boss Loops workout on Sunday for legs and abs and found it good. The orange band is a little loose, so I might try the green one in place of it next time. Monday I did CBS from X-train. I'm really feeling like I need a break from RWH so am doing...

    This week has been hot and muggy. Monday night I did the Lower Body Circuit and Tuesday the Upper Body Circuit. Wednesday was just walk and Thursday was CST. I really like this weight series! It's so adaptable to what I feel like doing-abs instead of finishers, 4 sets for an extra pump, 2...

    I hope you make out ok with your siblings. I've seen my brother a few times to just say hi in passing. Other than that-nothing. I kind of think this is their way of getting me out of their lives-if that makes sense. Oh well, mentally I feel better. I got the new DVDs on Friday and previewed...

    Have you thought about your next program after RWH? I have abouttwo more full weeks of it-planning on finishing on Labor Day. Not much going on here. Covid is coming back so work is getting interesting. Other than that it's been pouring rain here. Played cards tonight which was fun! This...

    You got some great workouts in over the weekend! Friday I walked and did legs. Saturday was a walk and a short C/S/T premix, Sunday I did the 4 set premix for the B/S/B only. Monday was walk and the LB leg circuit-just strength and yesterday was walk and UB Strength and ab circuit. We're...

    I know-it's been months and months since I did any stepping. I did it all low impact anyway. If you didn't-no wonder you're sore! You are using some serious weight for legs-holy moly. The heaviest I've been doing is 2 25's for deadlifts. Last night was BSB-I did the 2 set with finisher...

    Hot weather is the worst. We have been lucky the last week and it hasn't been as bad. Although it poured here yesterday for about an hour, so it's been humid. We finally got the basement water problems solved and the drain pipes blasted out by the borough so the washing machine is good. How...
