Squat legs...one word...INTENSE! But I did it and feel great. I also did the first segment of Total Body Stretching. That is the best "short" segment for stretching out your lower extremeties IMHO. Just perfect for after Squat legs. I squated 90 pounds which is my heaviest ever to date! In 2...

Hello everyone! I started meso 3 yesterday, and am feeling sore in all the right places today! :D I have decided to do squat legs today, even though Pyramid Hiit is on the schedule for today. That is only 30 minutes and would rather do that tomorrow then a long 63 minute workout EARLY in the...

Well, my active recovery week is going by way too fast! Yesterday was a classic...Step Heat and today was Low Impact Step. Fun, fun, fun. There have been a lot of new people in karate lately. Even adult women, which is always nice, when one needs a partner. Beats having a 2nd degree black...

My active recovery week...ahh! I did timesaver cardio from BodyMax 2 yesterday and cardio only from Low Impact Circuit. I love those, the music is so much fun, as is the step routines themselves. Yesterday I went to my first karate sparring class. Boy, is there a lot to learn! Nothing like...

Ya-hoo! Mesocycle 2, weight lifting portion---DONE! I have MMA: Boxing left in my rotation and then its on to a much need active recovery week. I love STS, but it really is a lot of hard work. Especially as early in the day that I do it. I haven't eaten as clean as I did when I first did STS the...

Good Monday afternoon! Just a quick post. I did STS disc 23, legs today. Goodness me, those legs are so hard, especially at 4:30-5:30 in the morning. But, its really the best time to exercise for me. So, I won't fuss too much. LOL Sister should never worry about not getting thru to our...

What a beautiful, sunny day in central Virginia. I bit windy, but other then that, it is just gorgeous! After rainy, gray, icky days, this is really nice. Today my Kindergarten kids are on a field trip. What a nice break. The little ones have been very challenging this week, so its nice to...

Poor Rolly! See, this rarely happens with cats. Hope he gets back to being a good boy soon. Wow! Its early evening and I was home a few hours ago. Can't believe I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Its nice to come home from school "early". Actually it would be my...

Happy Friday! Wish there was some fun, exciting news to pass on. I finished week 2 of meso 2 yesterday. Today is my much needed rest day. Slept in to 5:05 instead of getting up at 4:20. Exciting, huh? See, its just the same old, same old. Karate remains fun, learning Universal 3 this week...

Hi everyone! I've been either too busy or too tired to bother posting on our check-in. ShadowPup I am soooo impressed with those squat weights. That is fantastic. I hope to be able to squat my own weight, but right now, I can just manage 66 pounds in meso 2. It will go up in meso 3, and do...

OUCH! My body has some major doms going on. I am now in meso 2 and using what seems to me a lot of weight. I am using my new 30 pound dumb bells, and thats what seems to be kicking it up a notch. 30 pound chest flies definately make me go "oh my!" and using them for squats also has my glutes and...

I can't believe my active recovery week has come and gone. Yesterday I started meso 2, and did disc 13, chest, shoulders and tri's. I felt incredibly weak too! :( The chest work was hard and I had to drop down in weight from my card. I felt very frustrated. Then I read my card wrong and tried to...

Wow! So far my birthday has been great! I must have had over 300 b-day wishes on Facebook...and I'm not kidding. I like to personally reply and say "thank you" and boy, is that time consuming. In just a little while I'll be heading out to meet up with 5 super ladies that I teach with at my...

The weather in central Virginia is wonderful. The windows are open, the back door to the deck is open, so the cats are enjoying some outdoor time too. No AC in nearly 24 hours because its just not needed. Of course, it won't last long, tomorrow its suppose to be back up in the mid 80's but I'm...

Yippy Skippy Hooray! I finished mesocycle 1 today! I am looking forward to an active recovery week of great step/cardio. Circuit Blast cardio only is like a Hiit workout, but its done in 23 minutes. Very intense and fun. I've been busy with school and karate. Its hard to check in these days...

One workout away from finishing mesocycle 1 of STS. I have Athletic Step tomorrow, and abs, then the final legs workout of meso one and then Circuit Blast cardio only on Thursday. I can't wait for my "recovery week." I'm planning on doing lots of step. Step, step, step, step, step! Sister...

Good Sunday afternoon! Jeezy peezy, Laura...eat next time. Even if it is junk. No doubt it was an empty stomach and alcohol...what a combination!!! A hard lesson to learn, too. Take time and get better, eat well, rest and recuperate. (((hugs))) Today it was Hiit 40/20. I don't know, but I...

First week of school, DONE! And it was an excellent week at that. Today, there was bathroom issues with one of my kindergarten classes. Bound to happen, once one says "I gotta go to the bathroom." Its a domino affect. Had to call for the classroom teacher to come back early, and we had to talk...

Two days of school, and everything is just as I suspected it would be...WONDERFUL! The kids are very good, and eager to learn and have fun. We do both in my classroom.:) I always find kindergarten the most challenging because they know nothing (duh). But they are adorable and just need to learn...

OHhhhhhhh, what a feeling! Hiit Double Wave Pyramid...geesh, there's nothing like it, except maybe CCC. Which I get to do on Tuesday this week, because I did the week 3's cardio last week, so I'll do week 2's cardio this week. Ay-yi-yi. Yes, very busy weekend with family. Its fun. School...
