Hello! Today was CTX All Step (just the cardio). I had cleaned all morning and wasn't in the mood for anything super intense or super long. Heartymax- Even though I'm not working anymore, I still think of summer as catch-up time. Life slows down just a bit :D Have a great day!

Hi ladies! I'm back from my last vacation of the year with a great tan thanks to a day on the pontoon boat ;) I managed to get five workouts in, even without AC and really hot, sticky weather: Afterburn, Tabatcise 1-3, Turbo Barre (express premix), Supercuts, and the combos from KPC. Sunday...

Hello! No workout today. I've been too busy packing and getting some enchiladas together to take to my friends' house this evening. Just wanted to say hi, and that I probably won't be able to check in much, if at all, next week, but I'll be taking all my dumbells up to 15# with me, and quite a...

Good morning! I just finished Rhythmic Step. My body is not used to 60 minutes of steady state cardio. I'm dripping! Heartymax- Your treats so far are still less than what I treat myself to in an average week :eek: Maybe that's why I can't get rid of my extra padding :D Brenda- That's...

Hello ladies. I just finished my workout: the step from Step Jump & Pump and the "down" premix from PUB. The heavy lifting helped me with this one. For the first time ever, I matched Cathe's weights for every rep, including biceps, which I've never done for that workout. Though, I had to take a...

Good afternoon. I did Cardio and Weights yesterday as planned, and just finished the second half of Cardio Leg Blast. I'm easing back in to the more intense cardio. I think I'll get back in to the heavy lifting in the fall. I really enjoy it, but it makes me retain water, and I'd like to save...

Good morning! I am back from the Ozarks and very relaxed. I did one yoga workout with my phone app, and three homemade30/30 Hiit workouts in our bedroom, and that's it. The trip was very relaxing. Lots of time on the water, lots of laying around and doing nothing :) Eating was TERRIBLE! But...

Good morning! I just finished the floor and step premix of All Out. Feeling good :) It's our 10th anniversary today, so we're going on a brewery tour, shopping and wandering in the Third Ward, and out to dinner at Eddie Martini's. I'm pretty excited. We had planned on a trip to Lake Geneva, but...

Hello! I just finished Bootcamp. All my heavy lifting and gentle cardio lately meant that those cardio portions were TOUGH. It's fine though, because for the first time ever I matched Cathe for biceps! Yay! I still can't do those shoulder presses the whole way through, though. I just don't have...

Hi all. Just popping in to report that I did not work out today. DS was up half the night with a head cold that seemed to come out of nowhere. He was coughing like crazy, couldn't get comfortable, sleeping restlessly.... etc. Anyway, every time I would come close to falling asleep after tending...

Hello! I had planned on doing some intense cardio today, but I've noticed with the heavier lifting that I just don't always have the energy for it. I did Chris Freytag's Power Yoga from her original 10 Pound Slimdown on YouTube. It was a nice, short, sweaty routine. Perfect for how I felt today...

Happy Monday, ladies! My weekend was very busy and I didn't get any workouts done. This morning I did the Triple Tabata from To The Max and my heavy weights: lunges, floor chest press, bent over rows, hammer curls, and lying triceps extensions. I went up in weight in everything except the...

Happy Friday! I just finished weights: leg press, deadlift, shoulder press, calf raise, and bent arm lateral raise. I used 60 pounds for the deadlifts, and did three sets of 12 reps... felt great! No back pain. Brenda- I tend to enjoy "yoga inspired" or fusion workouts more than pure yoga...

Hello. I was up till midnight working on the blanket (and I'm still not done!), then went to bed and my restless legs kicked in. Sigh. Anyway, I woke up sore and exhausted. I turned to Jessica Smith yet again and did her Flow-Yo workout, which was a yoga inspired barefoot workout. Honestly, I...

Hello! I went out with a friend last night and had probably one too many drinks :p, so I wasn't in the mood for anything too hardcore, but I still wanted to burn some calories. I ended up doing a Jessica Smith 30 minute HIIT workout. It wasn't as challenging as a Cathe HIIT, but I still got a...

Good morning! I just finished a great strength workout. Today was squats, chest press, one-arm row, seated tricep extensions, and standing bicep curls. I was able to up my weight on a couple exercises :). I also held a plank for 1:30, which is my longest so far. I find I can lift much heavier if...

Good morning! Saturday I went for a very short run/walk before heavy weights (rear lunges, chest press, bent-over rows, hammer curls, lying tricep extensions... three sets of 8-12 reps for each exercise) plus I did my planks. I added 15 seconds to each one, so that felt good. Yesterday I made...

Just popping in to say happy weekend to everyone. No workout for me today, as I was watching my cousin's son (2nd cousin? 1st cousin once removed?). Anyway, have a great weekend!

Hello! Yesterday my broadband was not cooperating with me, so I got only 20 very interrupted minutes of a Jessica Smith fusion style workout in. Today I did weights: leg presses, deadlifts, shoulder presses, bent-arm lateral raises, weighted calf raises, and planks. I went kinda light with the...

Good morning! Gorgeous day! I did my heavy, paper weight routine today. It felt good for the most part, but the ol' SI felt a bit achy while I was doing squats. I think I might have to stick to rear lunges and leg presses for weighted lower body for awhile. As much as I love deadlifts and...
