Hi Everyone, Too tired to log on last night and had to watch Lost :-) I did 45 minutes of urban rebounding mid-day, then STS stability ball abs and stretch max III (I didn't wind up doing the latter on Tuesday, so I made sure to get it in yesterday).

I'll have my car and will happily take any fellow espresso lovers along and then to Four Seasons!

Just got back from kickboxing at lunch...it was about 42 minutes or so and then I stretched for about 10 minutes. Will do core max and stretch max IIIs later on. Happy St. Paddy's Day and Happy Birthday to my brother - lucky stiff to have his birthday today!

Bless you Kathy.....I was dying without my triple grandes last year - LOVE ESPRESSO!

Hi Everyone - hope recovery week is going well. Sunday I did nothing...body just wasn't feeling it....that rarely happens...usually I can get motivated, but Sunday was not one of those days....and sometimes, that is the best thing. I swapped out my run yesterday and went for an oldie but a...

Disc 12 was awesome. I can't say this enough - my butt will never be the same after the plate work, but I mean that in a good way! Highlights of this workout for me: One Leg Sit N Stands - I'd be lying if I didn't admit to "plopping" down on the last 2 reps of my right leg ... not exactly...

Did this disc last night with weights and plates abs and did an earlier 45 min urban rebounding session at lunch... The band exercises had my triceps working hard. Didn't think my form was spectacular on the see-saw push-ups, but I made it through. The drop sets at the end had me looking...

Hi Bethany, Thanks for responding...same for me too...I am on day 19 and usually go about 32 days or so...so I should be ovulating now and am getting panicky because I haven't had a temperature spike yet but ...I could be late this month and that could explain it but the whole charting thing...

I recently started charting and was wondering what is considered average normal temps....The example charts in Taking Charge of Your Fertility indicate higher temps post- ovulation and menstruation, then slightly lower. I started charting day 2 of my period and have consistently been low 97...

Disc 10 - Push-ups definitely seemed more do-able this week compared to last week. The barbell curls with the band, however, were not....I mean I could not even crank out more than handful of reps...I dropped the band and wound up upping the weight to try to make it as tough....I don't know...

Did disc 9 on Tuesday, continuing with my consecutive days, but alternating upper body workouts. Seriously, these leg workouts, while enjoyable, are definitely getting harder :-) I could barely finish the paper plate lunges this go around. Similar to disc 8, I felt like there was a prominent...

Really enjoyed disc 8....the time flew by. Loved the addition of the drop sets in this workout as well. Definite form improvement on the side-lying push-ups. Back and triceps felt warm all over. Happy to say today is my day off from the gym...going to do a nice long stretch tonight...

I could kiss you all for this post...I am TTC and if my mommy-in-law tells me one more time that it is not happening because of my exercise routine, I am going to lose it! I have Dr. Clapp's book, but this response is a nice summary of alot of the information it contains and the research...

Okay, seriously Cathe needs to rename STS Disc 7 to "the pushup workout!" Don't get me wrong, I LOVED this workout, but I felt like every 2 exercises we were back to push ups and I was left saying, "um, again, did I hear you right Cathe?" I did manage all on toes except for the last 10 of the...

I did this last night to finish out week 2. Did 4 and 6 Sun and Mon, but then life got in the way of this one on Tues/Wed and Thurs is my rest day, so finally on Friday I popped this in the dvd player not with as much gusto as usual because I was already privvy to feedback about the workout -...

I am doing the same thing, but in reverse - cardio at lunch and STS at night... Fit44 - I definitely admire you - I am so lazy to do cardio at night these days...if I have to, I will, but definitely prefer it earlier in the day :-) so long as it is not 5AM :-)

I actually did this on Monday and had DOMS for a few days....the plate exercises again got me good and my butt was on fire by the end. I did have a better showing with the wall squats, mostly because I was superfocused after I didn't have a spectacular showing on disc 3 :-). The wall squat...

Bow and arrow work with the band - goodness gracious....that was hard work...crying at the end...... really digging the drop set push ups...still so-so (or menza-menza as my mom would say :-) with the straddle push ups...my elbows are double jointed (weird, I know) so I just have a hard time on...

bumping...I made it through 1.5 single leg pikes and then started rollin' all over the place.....would love form pointers to master this quicker.... ditto for the ski move......i had a little voice in my head saying "going, going, goooonnnnnneeee" as I rolled around and off the ball :-)

I believe that if your ball has less air it makes the movement easier
