Sunday Sunday! Hi Everyone I did Alyssa Wyatt's Intermediate Pilates. I keep forgetting how effective Pilates is. I prefer classical Pilates over fusion yoga/Pilates/barre dvds, but it is difficult to find intermediate to advanced Pilates dvds that don't annoy me. Alyssa Wyatt I like a...

Happy Sunshine-y Saturday, I went for a 6 mile, 60min run at the vineyard today. It was a really great run. :D Kim - I meant to ask you about the two steps used in that group class you attended. How did he have you set them up, were they like and "I" with you being the vertical line in...

TGIF! And another hot day here, so hot I literally lost 2#'s in water weight from the start of my workout to the end. I will not mark that down as a permanent weight loss lest I be disappointed later when I suck down a jar of sun tea and it replenishes all the lost fluid. The workout today was...

Good Morning Ladies, Another hot day here. Today's workout was a 3.74 mile/37.40 minute interval run on the treadmill using CCv3. Interesting how my numbers match up nicely, steady state+hills+sprints+steady state+ cool down = the same pace as my long runs and my tempo runs. The sweat was...

Hi Ladies! Wednesday already, wow! Boy is it getting hot here, I think it is already close to 90degrees Fahrenheit, which made Intensity even more of a sweat fest. I did the Maximum Intensity pre-mix with the bootcamp bonus added on. It was fast paced and fun. All there is left to say is - -...

Happy July 5th Ladies! Today I did a 35 minute, 3.5 mile tempo run at the vineyard, on a flat circuit area. It was a good run, and I am pleased with my run times and calorie burn. I followed that up with MMA Boxing. Yesterday - well - yesterday was not soo good. I did CircuitMax, which I felt...

Hi Everyone It's a hot sunshine-y Saturday! I just came back from a five mile run with Rowan at the vineyard. We ran on the road today, it was a good run and makes me yearn for more places to run that are less hilly so I can run outside more frequently. Kim - I know, right? It might be...

TGIF and Happy July 1st! I was out of town all day yesterday, and in an unusual combination of low energy and disinterest I have not exercised for two days. *Gasp* Maybe it is the slow pace and boring-ness of Pure Strength, or maybe it is burn-out, or maybe a wee bit of depression - I dunno...

Happy Wednesday Warriors! It rained in abundance yesterday, which is rather unheard of around here for late June. The hot weather will return tomorrow. Today I had plans to do Step Blast and follow that up with Pure Strength, legs & abs. I made it 2/3rds of the way through Step Blast and...

It's a rainy Tuesday here. It rarely rains in the summer, I kind of like it! Ran on the TM this morning for 3.5 miles. I'm in Napa all day today. Think rain, mud, and dogs, not vineyards and wine. :eek: MJ - It is great to hear from you! (((hugs))) I am sorry this is a challenging time for...

Hi Everyone, I have a cottony - woozy - head, and a late, late night - too, too early morning induced fatigue. Blame it on Trivial pursuit and Oliver puppy, in that order. I only did Pure Strength, Back Biceps & Abs today, easy-peasy. I'm moving Step Blast to somewhere else in the week...

Happy Sunny Sunday! For my active-recovery off-day workout I did 3 sections of Rodney Yee's A.M Yoga. The dvd has 5, 20 minute sections. Boy did I need a good stretch. What's in store for next week for everyone? In addition to Pure Strength and running, I plan on Step Blast, MMA Boxing...

Hi Ladies! It is a beautiful Saturday. I went for a 50 minute run with Rowan at the vineyard...not a soul in sight and not one dust cloud inducing vehicle either. It was a great steady state run. I ran to Cardio Coach Press Play, which always makes me cry, and makes me feel happy and grateful...

Happy Friday Warriors! Today I did Athletic Step and then another round of Supersets, which I've determined is not a favorite. Next week is a week of split workouts, I have Pure Strength on tap. Kimberly - Yay! It is lovely to hear from you. I'd have to agree, tennis and wind are not very...

Hi Again Warriors! Today's workout was Kickmax followed up by Ilaria's Bodystrike. It was a great workout, and a combination I'll do again. Cathy - Yummmy, mulberries, do you make mulberry peach pie? Kim - Happy Birthday to Gucci. I'm in absolute agreement, cake must be eaten on birthdays...

Happy First Week of Summer! I apologize for my sudden absence from the check-in. Life was just getting too hectic and too crazy, but I’ve adjusted to the increased pace and I’m back to talk fitness, I hope everyone will join me. I’m still plugging away at my rotation. This week is...

Hi Warriors! It seems as though there is never enough time in the day. I really enjoy sleeping, but wouldn't it be great if we could get our full requirement of sleep once a week...like sleep 24 hours and go go go the remaining 144 hours? Life has become super busy and super complicated...

Hi Warriors Regina – Happy Happy Happy Birthday! You have tremendous will-power and fortitude to forgo birthday cake and ice-cream on your birthday. Does that mean you started your May 1st No Sugar Challenge a little early? Happy bday to your Mom too. Have you always celebrated your birthdays...

Happy Wednesday Warriors! My splits week is going well - this is the first time I have done Cathe's PUB/PLB, it has become an immediate favorite. Yesterday, after PLB, I wanted to try out my new Asics Gel Intensity cross training shoes, so I did LIC-cardio only. The right kind of shoes made...

Happy Monday Warriors! I hope everyone had a lovely and blessed Easter and Passover. Cathy – I am putting a box in the mail to you today, you should get it on Wednesday or possibly Thursday. :) Regina – Wow – a lot of shoes! I just bought Asics Gel Intensity for cross-training/plyo workouts...
