Happy Labor Day!! Saturday I had my Tabata Bootcamp class, which went well. Sunday was my no workout day. This morning I did XTrain Hardstrikes - the cardio only portion. I had enough other activity throughout the weekend. Between lawn trimming, cleaning houses, digging up and moving...

Good Morning and Happy Friday!! Looking forward to the 3 day weekend. Not that we have anything planned just that I don't have to come to work on Monday. ;) This morning I did that 20 minutes of craziness on the elliptical. Doesn't seem to be getting any easier. Still like doing it though...

Oh my can't believe it is Sept 1st. Started this morning off with XTrain Burn Sets Bi's & Tri's. Had really good strength in the Burn Sets this week. Loved it!! What movie were you watching while doing the elliptical? When I'm on the elliptical I usually have on the news. I have the TV on...

Can't believe today is the last day of August. This morning I decided to go with one of the 20 min blasts from the challenge I was doing. Bummed that it's over with. I enjoyed posting about it every day on Instagram. I did the squat lunge madness. I'm beginning to think I have a black...

Glad to hear that his first day went well. Last night had my kickboxing class. I only had 3 people but it was still fun. I always enjoy kickboxing. Two of my sisters take this class. One of them was early so she recorded me for a few seconds while I was punching the bag and I posted it on...

Good Morning! Saturday I had my Tabata Bootcamp class. Sunday was my rest day, granted it certainly didn't feel like it. We cut 3 peoples lawns plus our own on Sunday. Didn't work out this morning. Our smoke alarm went off at 1:30am not sure why. We couldn't smell any smoke. Not sure if a...

Happy Friday! #day20 was my last day of the challenge and I did upper body & plyometrics. The workout felt really tough this morning. It's been a long, tiring week. I pushed as hard as I could and rested when I needed to. Hopefully I'll have more energy tomorrow in my Tabata Bootcamp class...

Good Morning! #day19 was lower & upper body. Did as many rounds as I could for 10 mins finished that round with 1 min of squat jumps and then as many rounds as I could for upper body. Had a pretty good workout. Great music on Pandora helped. :) One more day of my challenge. Next week I'll...

#day18 was 20 min elliptical craziness. This was the one where I start out at level 6 and increase from there. I have a love/hate relationship with this workout. I hate it cause it's hard but I love it because of the challenge and how fast it goes. Dang my glutes and feeling it. :eek: In...

#day17 was squat lunge madness. She says to do squats with a 45-90 lbs barbell. I use my dumbbells and only go with 2-20's. So I'm only squatting 40 lbs and that feels heavy for me. Then she says with the same weight range to do lunges. Heck for that I drop to 2-15's, so I'm only at 30lbs...

oh my gosh JeanneMarie.... that is too funny!! I use so much Kleenex while I'm working out, I should take stock in it. ;) When I teach my classes I have to have Kleenex close by because I cannot get through a class without blowing my nose. Between all the sweating, nose blowing and some...

Good Morning! Saturday was my Tabata Bootcamp class. Cleaned my parents house Saturday afternoon. Felt really tired on Saturday. Definitely didn't have my A game on. Sunday did laundry, got lunches ready for today and cut up fruits and veggies for the week. Got our own house cleaned. The...

Good Morning! Today was day 15 upper body & plyometrics. Didn't have my A game on this morning so things felt harder than normal. I pushed and did the best I could and gotter done. ;) For the 1st 10 days we got an email with a link to the website where we could follow the video or download...

Today was day 14 of the 20x20 challenge. I had lower body & shoulders. For the lower body I had 12 squats, bench step ups (6 each leg), and 12 bench jumps. Did as many rounds as I could in 10 min. Finished the 10 min with 1 min of squat jumps. The shoulders circuit was 8 pull ups (used my...

Good Morning! Today was my so called cardio do where I did the craziness on the elliptical. It's funny how at first 6 seems hard until you get up to 10 and then go back down to 6 and 6 doesn't seem so hard then. :) Felt really hard on the legs after yesterdays workout and I kept telling myself...

Good Morning!! Today was day 12 of the challenge and I had squat lunge madness. That it was indeed. For the first 10 minutes I did 12 squats, 8 forward lunges (8 each side), 12 squat jumps, and 6 new jacks (in & out is 1) and on the squats and lunges use a challenging weight. Then for the 2...

Good Morning! Sorry, I've been out of commission the last few days. Thursday was Day 9 and did the chest press, chest fly w/crunch, squat w/shoulder press, squat w/bicep curl on low end and whatever else was in there. Thursday morning on my way into work I had slowed down to avoid a turkey in...

Good Morning! Today as day 8 of my 20x20 challenge. I did the elliptical today with the crazy resistance levels. Level 15 certainly didn't get any easier. Hope all is well.

Today was Lower Body. Increased the weight by 5lbs on the squats. The static lunges felt really hard. I pushed through it and accomplished it!!

Hi Cathe! Wondering if by any chance you'll be planning either a Wisconsin or Chicago Road Trip in 2017. The two that I've been to were the ones in Lake Geneva, which worked out well for me. :D I turn 50 in July 2017 and would love to spend it either on one of your Road Trips or I want to...
