Wow, Janie! You sure did get a lot in yesterday. Good for you. I love that Heavy Bag Bonus. Especially with a bag. It can be done without one, but having something to hit makes more authentic, and probably burns a little more calories. Came home yesterday totally beat. So glad I worked out...

Hi everybody! Third day back at school. Same old stuff, different year. I am adjusting to my new schedule. I'm up by 4:50, feed the animals, drink a protein shake, and am usually working out no later then 5:20. OY! And everything will move up at least 20 minutes once the kids come back to...

Well, this is it, the last day before I go back for year 23! Yep, 23 years of teaching, and I love it! An interesting, different summer then last. Last year I hiked and biked an awful lot, this year not very much at all, but I did add American Freestyle Karate! Broadening my horizons to say the...

First week of STS done. And boy was my body screaming at me yesterday. I did Step Moves and AC yoga based abs. It was what was on my rotation, so of course I did it. Feeling it every step and crunch of the way. This was in the afternoon because my morning was taken up by other chores and...

Shoegal, Gunner sounds like a great dog! If I was home more, I'd take him! But cats are definately more my speed. More independent and not so demanding of time and energy. Speaking of cats, I was at my Moms this afternoon, and she noticed her cat Perky, had this strange balloon like formation...

Howdy. Yesterday was STS disc 2 AND a 13 mile bike ride. Today I did SC: Boxing. I was feeling a little unmotivated and sluggish, but about 12 minutes into it, that passed and I was enjoying my workout. So glad to have done it. It is one of my favorite SC's. I have karate later this...

Wee doggie! I did 40/20 today, and must have poured gallons upon gallons of water from every pore of my body! That is such a killer workout. Its short, but it packs a punch! Deborah, yes, those books are still used in grade school. And I haven't had any difficulty with the balance of STS 1...

I started STS again, just finished disc 1. I love how I feel after an STS workout. These endurance types really make me sweat. Doing 15 pound db shoulder press will do it too! And so many push-ups! All varieties! Those get to me too. As for bicep work, I can pretty much hang with it, though my...

Well, I pre-ordered, DVD's and downloads. 63435 Going to take it easy today. I will probably do Stretch Max later. Tomorrow I start STS again. Went to school to research black spirituals. I need about 6 songs with Orff accompaniment for my first program in October. I have found 7 so far...

Hello everybody! Sorry I haven't done a check in since the Cathe Road Trip. I've been back home (home) for a few days, and am just catching up on quite a lot of things and I've let our check in slide. Since being back, I did Step Blast yesterday and LowMax today. Considering a break since I...

Thanks Cathe! This was my first road trip, and I hope it won't be my last! It was great to meet you and your amazing crew and staff. You sure know how to put on a party! Hugs and kisses, Renee

The only problem I have with sleep, is waking up and thinking about the road trip. But, surprisingly, I've been sleeping pretty good. Its rare that I sleep poorly, but it does happen, and when it does its pretty much stinks. Laura, I hope you are able to find that sleep pattern groove soon...

Excitement is building....my first Road Trip!! I can barely stand it! ~Renee

Happy Monday! This morning I did STS 15, Back and Biceps. I have a lot to do today in prepartion of vacation/Cathe road trip. Gonna take care of all pet needs first. They are priority one. Then pick up a few things for me. Its cooled down a little in central Virginia. Hope it lasts for...

Step Works for me today! It was fun! But what Cathe step dvd isn't fun? Huh? Contemplating what to do with the rest of my day. Stay home or go to the pool. Those are the only options for this heat wave. I love summer, but this one sure has been super duper hot. I've only done one bike ride...

Its been a few days... Yesterday I did 4ds HIS/LIS double cardio. It was a lot of fun. Can't remember when I did either step routine from 4ds. Today is my rest day, except, I went to morning karate. HA! Not much of a rest. We worked on flip kicks, stretching and flexibility. I will be sore...

Yo sister! Isn't the round a clock push-ups in 4DS-HIS?;) Today I felt like lifting for upper body. So, I opted for STS 13, which is chest, shoulders and triceps. I absolutely love having the weight bench and doing bench presses from getting the bar above you instead of hefting it up...

Hump day. Super hot. Draining. I am so sore from karate last night. We were working on right leg only, flip kicks and round house kicks. Right side fighting stance, fold right leg...hold it, balance, extend, hold it, re-fold, balance, put down. Slowly then of course fast. Then hold the wall...

Well, I have my weight bench, and it is fantastic! I've done flat and incline bench presses for my 1 RM's and just messed around a bit with the lat pull down bar, and leg extension thingy. I like it! As I knew I would. I have also done MMA: Kickbox, again! The kicking really helps with karate...
