Today I did the full Low Max workout. It was a lot of work, but not as bad as I feared. Tomorrow I start STS. Yay! Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm starting this Friday. I ordered the DVDs, and they should arrive tomorrow. I did all of the 3- to 5-star 1RMs. I'm also nervous about legs! How did disc 3 go, abernier19?

Cendrine, that sounds like an excellent plan for STS. Today I did I did Low Max with step combos only, and I finished my 1RMs. I didn't do a lot of the ones with one or two stars. Many of them are very similar to other exercises, and I suspect I will use the same weight. I imagine there will...

Sorry I haven't checked in for a while. I've been plugging away at work trying to get everything done so I could have a peaceful vacation this week! I'm done walking for the season. It got cold and snowed much earlier than I expected. I've been getting really bored with my weight lifting...

The past few days I just walked because the weather was really nice. It got colder out today, so I did Low Impact Step and lifted weights. It sounds like there will be quite a few colder days coming up this week.

I walked 2 miles yesterday and 3 miles today. I also lifted weights today. Cendrine, thanks for the info about the essential oils. That is so great that the doctor doesn't want to see him for a year! Lisa, the fish oil bottle says I'm supposed to take 3 a day, but I've only been taking one a...

Today I walked almost 3 miles and will lift weights in a bit. My doctor is not very concerned about my cholesterol levels. He said to keep doing what I'm doing (losing weight, exercise, etc.), but I did have him refer me to a dietitian to help with further modifying my diet. Lisa, I had a...

Katie, I did fast for the test. Since it was just a screening for work, they did not check triglycerides. I'm due for my doctor to run all those tests next month. I will check out that book, thanks! Cendrine, I'm glad you have your internet back temporarily! My cholesterol issues are...

Katie, I know what you mean about cleaning and gardening causing back issues. I hope you have a good time in MN! It looks like the weather should be OK this week. I'm just outside of St. Paul. I'm glad you enjoyed the anti-gravity yoga class. That sounds really interesting. Lisa, I used to...

Last night I worked out late again. I did Low Max Intervals 1-4 premix. It seemed harder than the last time I did it. Today I took a 3-mile walk and plan to lift weights later on tonight (chest, shoulders & biceps). Catgirl, I hope you feel better soon! The last time I had a sinus infection...

Yesterday I did Low Impact Step and lifted weights for back & biceps. I worked out late because I took a nap after work. I was so tired because I could not get enough sleep all week. I have no exciting plans for the weekend. Tomorrow's weather looks like it will be very nice for walking, so...

Today I walked 2.5 miles, lifted weights for legs, and worked my abs. Lisa, I've been slacking off on stretching lately. Thanks for reminding me. I will try to remember to do them before bed tonight.

Today I took a quick walk and did an old '90s aerobics video. Caitlin, I've never heard of an Enell bra. I looked it up online and am really interested in buying one. I am too big on top as well. I will probably wait until I've hit my weight loss goal before I invest in one. Katie, I...

Today I took a 2-mile walk and lifted weights (chest, shoulders & triceps). Caitlin, I know what you mean about not being able to do cardio when it's too hot. I have a very low tolerance for heat. We had an unusually pleasant summer this year where I live, but usually I just want to hide in...

Today I did Low Max (Intervals 4-7 premix) and lifted weights (back & biceps). Cendrine, I hope Cathe is inspired to come up with fun substitutions for future DVDs. I run out of ideas for substitutions sometimes.

I've mostly just been walking this weekend - 3 miles both days. I also lifted weights tonight (legs & abs). Lisa, your pictures are great! That looks like so much fun! I've been thinking of you every time I see pictures of the RT posted on Cathe's Facebook this weekend.

Caitlin, 30 minutes of LowMax is great! I've only done one premix of that DVD so far, and it kicked my butt. Catgirl, I'm glad to hear your back is better now, and I'm sorry to hear about your allergies. I hope you feel better tomorrow. Today I did Low Impact Challenge (Step Express #1...

Oh no Catgirl, I hope your back is OK. Cendrine, I use ice as well. I still use it at least once a day whether I need to or not. I'm just so used to it! Hi Caitlin! Thanks for posting! I am using a six inch step too. Congratulations on starting working out again today. I find that my...

Today I walked for 3 miles and lifted weights (back & biceps). Lisa, I hope you do post a pic of you and Cathe. That would be awesome! I see that pics of the new Low Impact HiiT are starting to be posted. I'm so excited to see bits of what that video will be like (since I pre-ordered it)!

Today I had to get my car fixed, so I got my walk in while my car was at the dealership. It was right near an interstate highway, so it was a very noisy walk. I got 2 miles in, and weight lifting tonight was legs and abs (I also do the bird dog exercise on an exercise ball whenever I do abs...
