I have the day off from work today which is nice. I slept in a bit and it's the perfect day for staying at home - rainy. :) I did my 10 minute workout (5 Day Get Fit Mix - Fat Blasting Intervals) and pilates this morning. I really like starting off the day with a short workout. I think on...

I can't wait either!!

Checking in with a bunch of workouts today - I was feeling kind of blah and sabotaging until I did a couple of short workouts and remembered how exercise can alter your mood! Once I did a couple of the 10 minute workouts, I felt so much better and no more sabotage. Checking in with: - 10...

I found it helped me to take a class first to get the basics (I took a beading one and a silver jewellery one - lot more work than I realized!). The class also introduces you to the tools you will need and can also provide let you know the best local places to pick up supplies. Here's a few...

Checking in today with Cardio & Weights and Stretch Max #1 completed. I also completed a 20 minute pilates workout from the Winsor Slimming Pilates system this morning. I had forgotten how tough pilates can be but it is so good for my back (and abs!). I haven't checked in the past few days...

Quick check in - been busy with work and other stuff the past few days so no workouts. On schedule for tomorrow is Cardio & Weights.

Checking in with Low Max and Stretch Max #1 completed. I fought for Low Max but I finished it again - the whole thing! It's still hard but I'm determined to keep finishing. Especially today - I needed to prove to myself that I could do it and I did. I think having the rest day helps a lot...

Today is a rest day for me - the first of the '3 days on, 1 day off' schedule I decided to try to follow. I think I'm going to like it too - it seems to just work out better. I was pretty sore in a few spots from Muscle Max yesterday. Although, I could have used a kickboxing workout to help...

Checking in with Muscle Max and Stretch Max #3 (band) completed. Muscle Max was definitely better this time around - I guess the lack of rest was really affecting me last time. It was tough (especially those lunges...hate lunges!) but I got through it and recorded my weights and where I can...

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Mine has been OK - except for the fact that someone was supposed to come yesterday to fix my sprinkler system and they never showed up!! I hate that! And they don't even return calls - you just get voice mail. Argh! Sometimes I wonder what happened...

Checking in with Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Blast Timesaver premix and Stretch Max #2 (stability ball) completed for today. I love that premix!! It's so much fun. Jennifer: Great job with Pyramid Lower Body! You're doing great and you are keeping up with all of us!!

Checking in with Cardio & Weights and Stretch Max #1 completed today. Taking the past three days off really helped as my energy is back to normal and it was no problem getting through the workout today. I think I can use heavier weights for quite a few exercises next time too. Bridget...

Checking in with another rest day. I was reminded that it is a good idea to schedule a recovery week every 4-6 weeks and I think that's why I'm feeling a little worm out. I used to do that before but when I started back, I didn't - too eager I guess. LOL My energy level is back and am...

Another rest day for me. I'm feeling much better than yesterday so I think one more rest day should do the trick. I realized after looking at my exercise calendar that I have been doing a bit too much too soon and not taking enough rest days (none for the first 2 weeks of May alone) so that's...

Pam: Great job with High Step Challenge! And yes...rest days are the best. :) I liked ME too but I'm the same...enough leg presses already. LOL Jennifer: Your rotation looks good. Elle: Great job with Low Max! I'm sure you'll find that you'll be doing the whole thing with no breaks...

I decided to take a rest day today - so tired and no energy for anything. I'm going to try following a 3 day workout schedule - so 3 days of workouts and then a rest day and see if that helps since I've been feeling a little worn out lately. I'll see how it goes this week.

Checking in today with Kick Punch & Crunch and Stretch Max #3 (band) completed. KPC seemed harder than usual but I got through it. Elle: Great job with the weekend workouts! How did Low Max go today? Jennifer: How'd you do today? Bridget: Woohoo on completing Body Max! That is...

Checking in with Muscle Endurance and Stretch Max #2 (stability ball) completed. I liked Muscle Endurance but I was getting sick of all the leg presses by the end. LOL Jennifer: Sounds like you have been pretty busy lately - that's great that you got in the Biceps & Triceps workout...

I'm having a great day so far - I lost another lb this week so just shy of 10 lbs lost since I started posting here. I'm also checking in with Low Max completed - THE ENTIRE THING! Yeah...that's right! I completed all the step combos and intensity blasts with no breaks!! First time ever...

Thanks to all of you for the advice - it did help to keep trying the whole workout with the blasts. Today was the first time I was able to complete Low Max in its entirety - all step combos and all intensity blasts with no breaks!!
