Firepower on sale today... If anybody is interested in a tough kettlebell workout, Firepower is on sale today at Art of Strength: http://www.artofstrength.com/debfire.aspx There's a clip of the workout so you can preview it. Okay now I'm going to work!

Whew! I did MMA Fusion yesterday (still struggling to get up and down on this one). How can anybody say this workout isn't challenging? :eek: Today I had a challenge of a different kind: AOS Firepower (Four Alarm). This is such a tough workout that I almost have to bribe myself to get...

Weekend -- hooray! Murphy, thanks for the info. I hope you feel better. Take it easy (no working out!) until you recover. I give you lots of credit for even checking in. Ronne, maybe you won't hate plyo legs, but it just wasn't my favorite. Since I did squats and plyo, the plyo was probably...

Both. I did both plyo and squat rack. I did STS twice last year, back-to-back. If I were to choose only one, I'd pick squat rack. (I was able to use up to 100 lbs. because I have a Valor stand.) Those plyo leg workouts were exhausting!

Me too! I would love another full-body weight workout. DH works out only once a week with me, so I end up alternating Muscle Max, Muscle Endurance, and occasionally adding Power Hour into the mix. I like Supersets and Push/Pull but use them when I'm short on time (or energy).

Miscellaneous questions: Murphy: Where would I rent Insanity? I didn't know such a thing was possible! Mary: I hated basketball (we skipped it this year), but DH just informed me that soccer starts next week. :mad: At least he's got both kids on the same team, so it's only one game and one...

I don't have a dog (my son is allergic and we travel a lot), but I have taught my children to never approach or try to pet a dog they don't know. (And to be careful around the ones they do know.) I had a very beautiful, fluffy but cranky cat. Occasionally, someone would want to pet her, and...

Good morning! I didn't check in yesterday, but my workout was DentistMax... as in, two hours in the chair getting a broken crown replaced. Ugh. And expensive, too. Okay, I'm out of the spending mood now! :mad: Today I did Kelly Coffey-Meyer 30-minute kickbox (but did the premix, which...

Powerstrike I have two Powerstrike workouts... One of them is Powerstrike 5; the other is just called Powerstrike. I don't know if there are Powerstrikes... but you can see these two on Collage Video.com I know what you mean about doing all on one side, then a different routine on the other...

Lisa, if you mean Drill Max -- I just don't love it either. I make myself do it now and then, but not my favorite. Does anybody do Cathe's old step workouts? I have them, but I haven't done them. I guess I expect the music to be annoying and the outfits to be distractingly silly. (What were...

I agree! Cherry pie is my favorite dessert ever -- I would have a love/hate relationship with this recipe.... :D

A better splurge... Okay, forget the Dyson -- I ordered myself an iTouch instead. Hooray -- a new toy! My old iPod (six years? more?) is dying... the battery doesn't hold a charge at all and that's all the excuse I needed. Today I did Art of Strength Newport (kettlebell) workout. Gee, I...

Amy Bento... I've grown to love Amy Bento's Kickbox Surge (CIA video), and Kickbox Xtreme. I say "grown" because there is a bit of a learning curve to her choreography. I also enjoy Powerstrike 5 (Ilaria Montangani). I'd say those are my favorite non-Cathe KB videos... although I just got...

For good recipes, I really like Tosca Reno's Eat Clean cookbooks. Ellie Krieger's cookbooks, too. Hers are a little bit less "clean," but very healthful and delicious all the same. I've found that planning meals really helps. Otherwise, I fall into the "same thing for every meal" rut. Ask my...

Wait -- am I insane? If I'm going to spend money I shouldn't spend, it had better be on something more wonderful than a vacuum cleaner! That makes me sound so ... old! Pretty soon I'll be raving about toilet bowl cleaner and laundry detergent! Quick -- tempt me with some new, expensive...

A tough call... Every situation is different (as you can see by the many posts on this thread). I'll throw in my two cents: 1. It's kind of early in the relationship, so if you have any of those nagging doubts, maybe you should wait. It's easier to split up when you're not living together...

Actually, Debbie and I are practically neighbors. (Debbie, I'll PM you...) Yeah, it's rainy and gloomy, but at least our drought is over and it's not 19 degrees! Spring is on the way -- not a moment too soon for me!

Must...not...buy...Dyson! Ooh, I've been so tempted! Our vacuum sucks (or doesn't suck, which is why it sucks!), but I'm trying to not spend the money (more than necessary) these days. Thanks for the welcome back. I am going to check in regularly! And now, back to work....

How old is too old? I just have to ask: How old is your friend? I did STS twice through last year, at 47 (48 by the time I finished the second round). There are many people here who are older than that and going strong. I finished Meso 3 squatting 100 lbs. It's sad to hear somebody say...

Illness! What is it with illness today? My son started the day off with a bout of vomiting... lovely. Poor kid was just so sick, and it breaks my heart to see him that way. (Also makes me worry that it's contagious!) Thanks to Mary, I'm making myself get into the habit of checking in again...
