Susan - I only have a few gifts to buy before this weekend so it's not too bad. I declare you the HIIT Queen! ;) Sam - I am far from finished with my Christmas shopping. I meant finishing up for the relatives I'll see this weekend. Still have DD, DS an DH to shop for. And DH is impossible to...

Susan - We celebrate Christmas with my family this Saturday so I'll be finishing up my Christmas shopping, making my dish to pass and waiting for Time Warner to come fix our digital phone. Ugh! They better be on time and not make me wait to workout too long or I will be grumpy. Great job on...

Hi everyone! Heartymax - I haven't tried LIS step yet but if the 1st 2 combos and the blast are pretty easy to learn, maybe I'll give that a try. Don't know about you but I have to be in the proper mental state to learn new choreography. Most days I just want to put the dvd in and GO! Laurie...

Sam - MIC is one of Cathe's toughest workouts. I remember the first time I did it over 10 years ago when I was in much better shape and got about as far as you did. I asked on the forums if anyone ever did the whole thing or if it was meant to be done as 2 separate w/o 's. Cathe herself...

Susan - When I was doing S90 I went at my own pace and did however many fit in the time allotted. So what if I did 8 reps instead of 10? I did them with good form and my muscles always felt worked out afterwards. I need to do a bit of closet purging myself. Sam - I haven't done MIC or...

Hello, everyone! I'm still alive. Sorry for not checking in last week. I was in Ohio for business on Monday and Tuesday, crazy busy on Wednesday trying to catch up from being gone and crazy busy the rest of the week deleting security access because we laid off 9 people. :mad: Some of these...

Susan - I need to pull out Plyo X. I remember it being tough without the dread factor. I think that window of cool running weather is about to close if we get snow today! :eek: I hear it's snowing in Platteville. Laurie - We call those people "Food Pushers" in our office. I can't blame...

Lala - You'll find this amusing I'm sure: We were at our church on Sunday for a combination craft fair/bake sale after mass and ate lunch there, too. DS is standing next to me as we're getting ready to leave and waves at this woman I don't recognize. Just as I'm wondering why it is my 14 year...

Heartymax - Great workout! Hiit 30/30 as an add-on? You rock! Laurie - I took advantage of the nice weather and went for a 2 mile walk last night. I bundled up but didn't need to. Sam - If you go heavy with upper body from Total Body Trisets, you may not feel like cardio afterwards. It's a...

Laurie - I've never been to the Holiday Market but I believe it is indoors. It's supposed to be a nice weekend so outdoors wouldn't so bad even if it was. Did 10 Pound Slimdown Xtreme Kickbox last night. Nothing yet today but I'm thinking about trying Yoga Max tonight and Athletic Training...

Heartymax - I can't do the pushups with the arm extensions as the same pace as Cathe and Crew so I go at my own pace and do fewer reps. Didn't even try the walking planks because I would have needed to rip up more puzzle mats. Good for you being able to do them! Thanks for the encouragement. New...

I did Tri Sets Upper Body premix tonight. Big thumbs up on this one! You work 3 different body parts back to back (chest/shoulders/triceps and back/biceps/core) and repeat the same exercises. Cathe has some new and effective exercises in this workout. There's a move called the arc that you...

Susan - I admire your ability to wakeup early and go out in the cold and dark and run! Maybe in a few weeks after I've gotten used to it, it won't seem so bad. Laurie - I keep thinking back to what you said last week about enjoying it while it lasts because you never know if your team will...

Heartymax - I know exactly what you mean about the candy. DH bought some and he's normally a bit stingy so I buy more and then we have way too much left over. This year I didn't do that so we'll see how it goes. We have Trick or Treat tonight. Laurie - Congrats to DD on her Confirmation. I...

Lala - I don't have a spin bike so didn't get Cycle Max. Maybe sometime in the future after the kids have moved out I can convert one of their bedrooms into a workout room and then I'll have room for treadmill, elliptical or whatever. You don't need to preview Slide 'n Glide because the moves...

Just finished Slide and Glide and it was fun. The discs will take awhile to get used to but I did better than I thought I would. Worked a lot of inner thigh muscles so will probably be sore tomorrow. For some reason I thought this one would have more cardio. Some interesting new moves...

Heartymax - I can't wait for the new workouts, too! My choice is easier since I'm not in the middle of anything so I plan on diving in right away. Laurie - I can relate to the DH Snore-a-Thon. I get treated to that at least once a week. Last night's storm was LOUD! I saw some crazy...

Hi all! I thought my life would be less busy starting this week but that didn't happen. DS still has football practice every day and DD has clubs she likes to do after school as well. Add Parent/Teacher conferences onto that and an upgrade I'm doing tomorrow at work that I've been busy...

Sam - I'm glad you're doing better. It's a struggle that's for sure. I need to remind myself what Jillian Michaels says (and I apologize in advance if you're not a fan. She really is a lot different on her podcast than she was on Biggest Loser.) Anyway, she asks "What do you do when you get a...

Hi all! Sounds like you guys are getting good workouts in and some work around the house, too, which DH likes to remind me can count as a workout, too. Sorry I didn't post last week. Between football games/practice, marching band competitions/practice, wedding showers and training, it's been...
