Hey everyone, I'm beat this afternoon. It's hot here today, at least compared to the average high (it's in the low 90's). I did some Janis Saffell kickboxing this morning, along with pilates. Then I took a 1 1/2 mile walk at 11:30. I think that was a mistake. It was hot then, and I've...

I haven't done any HIIT workouts yet, but I've been interested and have been reading the various threads over the past couple of months. I've seen other people say that it's considered HIIT, but that it's actually longer than you need to do. Apparently with HIIT, 15-20 minutes is sufficient.

Hey everyone! Sabine, I'm sure you won't see this, but have a great time! Pinky, for some reason I missed your post or posts about problems with Andrew. Not having seen it, I can't say much, but if this is new since your trip, maybe he's still adjusting in some ways to having gone and...

RE: Kathryn and Rhonda-Thanks! Sara, Congratulations! Thanks for letting me know what you think about these workouts. Regarding your question, I'm probably not a good one to ask. I did exercise of some sort all my life until I was about 25, and then stopped for about 10 years, during...

Kathryn and Rhonda-Thanks! Rhonda, Thanks! I actually ordered last night, because they're reduced on the website (coresecrets.com) again (2 payments of $19.95, instead of $29.95). I haven't gotten a confirmation in email yet though...hmmm. Kathryn, Yes I ordered the TLPs also, and...

Kathryn, Thanks! Hey, did you get your TLP Yorktowns yet? I saw on the videofitness forum that you hadn't (at least I think it's you!). I've started participating over there also, although I'm LHL there. I didn't intend to have different names on the different forums; I signed up over...

Sabine, In case you don't check in tomorrow, have a great, safe, trip! It was fun doing that workout yesterday. DVDs are great for mixing and matching. I used to read reviews on Videofitness, when VHS was more the norm, and people would talk about doing a workout with bits and pieces from...

Hello everyone! Yesterday, I did quite a varied workout: warmup and cardio kickboxing from Janis Saffell's Kickbox Strikezone, Gaiam's Abs Pilates, the ab work from Kathy Smith LWTLW2, the butt bonus on Killer Abs and Back, and the stretches from the Kathy Smith DVD. It was great. Today, I...

Kathryn and Rhonda, I saw in a search that both of you had ordered Core Secrets. I only recently saw the infomercial, and I'm really thinking about these. What did you think of them? If I go for it, should I get the add-ons? Thanks, I really appreciate your input!

Hello everyone, I'm feeling much better, and so is Michael. It looks like at some point his headaches must have become rebound headaches. He is greatly improved now that he is 3 weeks off OTC medications. I think it's safe to let him start having wheat and milk again. I have been a...

Hello everyone, I can't remember when I checked in last...maybe Sunday! I'm taking it easy this week, although I've been doing something everyday. Monday was Winsor Pilates Maximum Burn, Tuesday was the upper body portion of Kathy Smith's LWTLW2, which turns out to be a good upper body...

RE: LISA! Michele, I wrote down your id, so look for a message with your name on it sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. I don't know how long it will take to get these, and then it could take a few days after I get them to do several to really get a good idea. I'll let you know though, what I...

RE: LISA! Michele, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I did order the Slim Series. I saw that Rhonda offered to send you the email with the discount. If you can't get it from her, send me a private message with your email, and I'll forward it to you. As Rhonda said, the discount...

Hey, everyone! Happy Memorial Day! I'm back in the world of the exercising, although I'm taking it easy this week. Saturday, I did Scott Cole's Millenium Stretch, and yesterday I did a Janis Saffell/Scott Cole workout called Yin/Yang, which alternates Tai Chi and Kickboxing. I also did the...

Hey, everyone, Just a quick check-in. I'm feeling much better today, and Michael has had no headache or just a mild one for the last few days. I'm getting antsy now. I want to try some form of exercise, but I'm going to wait until at least tomorrow, and then it will probably just be...

Janice, Thanks! I think I'm still in decent shape, but I'm not sure about my stamina right now. I may just not be psyched enough for it right now. I've been thinking about Slim Series for quite a while, but then P90X caught my attention also. I suppose that they'll always have another...

Hey everyone, I know these two are VERY different, but I just got the Beach Body newsletter with 15% off both of these, and I'm trying to decide which to get if I only get one. Both of them have hour plus workouts, which is an issue for me (60 minutes on weekdays is my absolute max). Also...

Hey everyone! Just checking in. I preordered the new series, and lo and behold, it's to arrive today! Just in time! I think some beginner and intermediate workouts will be called for for the next week or so. I saw the doctor yesterday, and he said to stay out of work for the rest of the...

JoJo, I live in MD also and always get my videos from Cathe the day after they're shipped. Pretty cool, huh? I tracked mine and UPS says the box is out for delivery! Unfortunately, the UPS man ususally doesn't hit my neighborhood until about 7:30 in the evening. I guess I can wait!

Hey everyone, Just saying hi. Pinky, Michael's headache today was 0-1 on a scale of 10. I think we're almost there with him (I hope!). I'm doing better, but if I do much more than sit on the couch, I really feel my limitations. I'm staying home again tomorrow. Pinky, I'm glad that you...
