    Who's working out this weekend?

    I have to work around watching NFL playoffs ;), but I am going to do week 3 of STS Squat Rack Legs and Weights & Plates core today. Tomorrow I plan to do an hour of TurboFire plus some quick core work and I will stretch in front of the tv. I will also have to take the kids outside to play --...

    I had a great workout planned today, but ended up taking a rest day instead (but I'm totally cool with that). DD had the day off from school. Sadly her principal passed away from cancer on Sunday and today was his funeral. We didn't go to the service, as dd is only in kindy and her school has...

    Hi Ladies! I just finished my work for the day (I'm an editor) and I'm about to work out. Heather, I'm so sorry to hear you are under the weather today. :( I tend to get sick easily and I know how frustrating it can be. You are smart to take the day off so one sick day doesn't turn into a...

    Top 5 Hated Exercise Moves!

    I strongly dislike: 1) "Air Squats" done at lightning fast speed (Ouch! My poor knees!) 2) Leg/Outer Thigh Raises while propped up on the stability ball. 3) Squat Thrust Push-ups 4) Genie Hops (I sub in "rope skipping" every time) 5) Elmo Pushups on stability ball I'm sure I could...

    Good Morning! My workout is done and I am exhausted! I did Intensity (plus the bootcamp), CoreMax section 3, and stretching from GSLegs 2X. Intensity just slays me - more than any other Cathe cardio including the IMaxes and Hiits. Time:105 minutes Calories: 602 (feels like a lot more! :eek:)

    Hi Gals! This week is M3W3 for me; sounds like we are all in the same boat! Today I did disc 31 C&B. My shoulder/arm are feeling better this week, but I still was careful as I had to rehab a rotater cuff injury many years ago and *never* want to do that again! I lifted 80lb bb for bench press...

    Good Morning! I've got a fun workout day planned: Disc 30 SBT and "Friday Night Dance Party" for my cardio. :D Every Friday night our family has a little dance party to celebrate the end of the work week. The kids really look forward to it and we usually break out the Paper Jamz guitar and rock...

    Workout is done and I'm a happy camper! I did Terminator Gauntlet (kept my weights light) plus Bootcamp core. I came in at 2 calories under goal, so I added a minute of skipping. Time: 83 minutes Calories: 602. Tracy: So glad to hear you are still with us! You get to work out with your dh...

    Howdy Ladies! Just did Plyo Legs and am taking a break before I finish up with MMA Fusion. Time: 110 minutes Calories: 653. My shoulder feels 90% better today but I am being mindful. Kiki, great job on getting in some elliptical work yesterday! I'm not a migrane sufferer, but I can imagine...

    Wow Kiki - you are super woman! I always love hearing what weights you lifting- you are very inspiring. :) Sorry to hear about your "visitor." :( I suffer from extreme PMS so I know how frustrating it can be when you are just hitting your stride only to be derailed. My PMS is so bad (major...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - January

    I am so excited to work on my goal for the month: 600 calories burned 6x/week! :eek: Of course I will listen to my body and take breaks if I need them. I don't wear a heart rate moniter so I am just going by what Workout Manager tells me for calories. I got off to a bit of a slow start...

    Vertigo...anyone ever have it?

    I suffer from dizziness as well and it is super frustrating. When it is bad I feel like my head is floating in space and I get a disoriented feeling when I am in closed spaces like shopping aisles. It is mentally draining. For me it stems from TMJ Disorder -- I have a displaced disc that presses...

    how heavy r your dumbells for sts?

    Hi! I am on my 3rd round of STS and I have dbs up to 20lbs plus one old fashioned adjustable pair like you. I am in Meso 3 and lift 50 lb dbs in each hand for squats: I feel like my legs could actually handle more weight, but my grip strength is maxed out. It is time consuming to change up the...

    Plyo Legs = FUN!!! :p (My kids kept running in the room to whine for attention the whole time, but I just kept going- I'm on a mission!) My goal for January is to shoot for a daily 600 calories burned thru exercise (6x/week) so I will do another workout later in the afternoon -- possibly...

    STS Pyramid Challenge - December

    Just finished Disc 25 C&B. It felt so great to be back to push/pull lifting. I was able to increase all my weights! :) I am debating if I should get a little cardio in... Santa brought us an XBox Kinect with Dance Central 2, so I may just burn off a few calories while dancing with the kids.:D

    Checkin' IN (finally!)..... Kiki, nice dumbbell rack for your dh — are all the dbs new as well? Unfortunately I think I set a new record for bad holiday behavior: I bellied up to the buffet; I ate, drank, and was merry; and then I sat on my butt. :eek: I wanted to work out last week, but I...
