Count me in Susan. I am doggone tired and bored as well. Let me ask you: are you sleeping enough? Change of season and later sunrise, early sunset throughs the body off a bit. Also are you eating healthy? Drinking enough H2O? Stay on track with all that. And finally -- stress. Ah, my...

I am completely burnt out after a super hard workout with my trainer yesterday (this is a free work perk for those who thought I could afford such things). How about push ups with feet on the ball, one leg lifted, 20 total with right leg up for 10, then left leg. Several other painful push up...

Ann, when my mother died two years ago September 5th, I came to these boards and posted literally the same message as you. And Cathe and so many other wonderful folks here gave me the same advice: take special care of yourself. If that means rest, rest. If that means walk, walk. If that...

Char maybe you should forward your email to your DH. Too much on your shoulders. Too many dogs!! Maybe hubby not thinking so clearly - like giving the dogs away is liking giving dad away (ok now I'm Dr.Phil). Perhaps other family members can take in dogs? Try to take care of yourself. Ask...

Hi all. One of my rare check ins. This am was 30 minutes kickboxing (on my onw, no tape - was upstairs in loft/gym where guest was sleeping so I improvised); then today will have one hour upper body and core workout with trainer. Been hitting weights hard and it is working. Monday I did Boot...

Char, you are amazing. Hang in there. My prayers are with you and your family. Julie Fit Over 40

RE: Hardcore Fitness Maniacs Checkin for Friday, June 2... Hey all. Great 4 miler today, some yoga tonight. Power Hour tomorrow. Trainer killed me this week, but I made his wrists quake when he made me punch his mitts for a minute. Next week we're doing hard weights - my suggestion. I am...

Haven't checked in for a while. Did KPC first 35 minutes then Drill #1 this a.m. I am so in love with KPC. See how Jai gets into squat position on the jump side kicks? She is awesome. Session with trainer later today - a full body body pump kinda thing. Last week he made me throw a heavy...

Trainer today - did a quick treadmill work out (25 minutes) with 5 sprint pickups, then to upper body. Love having the trainer sessions, hate him in a good way. He did say my back is well defined (I rarely look at it!) but my shoulders are weak. Set after set after set of .... everything. I...

Day off today. Workout with trainer yesterday was all legs. I am in agony. Especially upper hamstrings. 3 sets of lunges with light weight, 3 sets of squats still light weight, 3 sets of 50 calf raises with 15 lbs dumbbells, then used resistance pully thing and did three sets of 20 leg lifts...

Debbie over your attitude - you see the bright side in oversleeping. I want some of that 'tude to be sure. maybe it's allergy season getting to me but I am dang tired. As aforementioned, yesterday's workout killed me - a lot of core. How to heal a sore core? I am thinking mass quantities...

"I haven't worked outside of the home much and people might think I am not reliable, etc...." OK Charlotte I have never written to you, we don't even know eachother but I had to respond to this: YOU ARE NOT RELIABLE??? My word woman you are the uber Reliable and Committed. Heck, you are one...

In a word: YES!!!!! Now get in a nice hot bath with Epsom salts oh gardening guru!! (: Julie Fit Over 40

For me what has worked: going off birth control pills (a huge differene almost immediately) so if you are on them consider either stopping or going to a lower dose; more water during the day; water at bed side. I would also wake up headchy from all the sweating. Due to dehydration. So...

Hi Katie. can I add to all these superstar exercisers and say that rest and recovery are a critical part of a routine? Your muscles tear when they are stressed (ie when you exercise) so repair, rebuild stronger and give you that definition, they need rest. So you need to work in rest. Cardio...

Go have that baby. I have had two after the age of 36, am 43 and in the best shape ever (5'2", 105, can get through Drill Max!). And bed rest is heavenly. I parked myself on that couch for three weeks with my last one and practically hooked up a milkshake IV. Need further inspiration? cathe...

RE: Went into shock today...(a little long) - Carrie Please Get Help Today!!! Carrie , please please get on the phone NOW to see a neurologist and other specialists today! Tell them this is an emergency, you are scared and not being treated well. Demand action! Wait in their waiting room if...

Well until Cathe comes out with that boxing series, I am forced to consider Billy Blanks' new series. Has anyone tried it? Looks like it is more advanced than he has done in last few years. I dropped him after the Advanced Live Series, when he started to make less challenging. I would love...

Mazel Tov!! Oh my that dress!! How to get in shape for your wedding? (to steal that ol' Cathe video line). Well: starve, freak out (stress burns calories) and don't exhale until after you say I do. That's how they did it old style. I am thinking more cardio, high rep weights, less food...

RE: An over 50 wanna be Hi Mariah and everyone else! I know, I am not 50 but I suggested Mariah post here so must come and offer support. And every interesting woman I meet lately is over 50, so I am a definite wanna be. The exercises my friends are called Kegel exercises. Take a web...
