Happy birthday Nanbo! Sounds like a fantastic day! Susan

Kara, you are funny. I just want more of you to share in my favorite lower body workout: butts and guts. It is the best in my opinion and I love the 2 ab workouts. About a month ago I dusted off Legs and Glutes too. I love all the leg presses but my favorite move is the glute sweeps. I...

Hi everyone, As planned today, I did Kickmax. That one doesn't get my heart rate up for the first 3 combos. The 4th one did the trick and the drills really elevated it. I like the format of KPC better since you start with the drills. When you start with that, my heart rate is able to stay...

Thanks Fit mommy and JT!

Thanks Stacie! I appreciate all of the information. That is great about your strenght gains! You must be so proud. And to accomplish that with all of those stressors in your life is quite remarkable! I know everyone has different strength capabilities. How do your weight loads typically...

Hi, I just bought the barbell a couple of weeks ago. It ships with 35lbs of plates and I am assuming the bar itself weighs 5 lbs. What is the total weight capacity of this bar? Can I add more than the 35lbs? What is the most of you have loaded on it? Thanks for your help. Susan

Thanks Jenn... everyone has been so welcoming already. It's amazing. So, what do people usually wear to the dinners? Do they wear jeans/skirts? I have no idea what to bring. :confused:

Stacie When you did STS you also included a circuit workout each week? In place of cardio right? Is this your first round of STS? What was your physical condition when you started and what results are you seeing?? Natty Check out the link I posted with the STS/Shock Cardio rotation...

Hi everyone, I feel as if I have a bit of catching up to do. First off, I did pushups on Tuesday, 26-10-8-8-8-7. My rep count is completely random. My first set I do as many as possible and I continue with that mindset as I do the various sets. I just wing it when it comes to the number...

I am so nervous that I'm not the least bit excited :-( I am missing out on the fun of anticipation. Anyone else feeling extreme jitters? Susan

Hi...I am new to this rebounder. I never even heard of it until about 2 months ago (I know... I've been living under a rock). So do you do it inside? How high do you jump? I assume it's inside and I am bummed because I workout in the basement and the ceilings are low. Since I can't imagine...

One more thing.... Natty- I think B&G is also calling your name!!!!!!!!

Natty - of course you need to get it!!!! Maybe we can start it together. For you fellow STS users - what do you do when the recommended weight is in less than 5 lb increments. For example if it says you should use 21 lb dumbbells? And then when you go up 5% it says now use 22.5? Do you...

Good morning! Yesterday was a rest day. Today I did Intensity for the first time. I did the long premix which was the whole workout plus bootcamp. That first step segment is killer (and that's just the regular step, not step max). Once I got through the step portions, I actually thought it...

Kara - Great job on your pushups. You are two-thirds of the way there already. How awesome! Stacie - sorry to hear about your Friday. Hope nothing is severely wrong with your car. Your Saturday sounds CRAZY busy, I hope you are able to rest today. Natty - so gald the party was good...

Hi Missw716- there have been no additional updates since that post. Susan

Happy Saturday!!! Today was Hiit 30/30 and Turbo Barre. I haven't done Hiit Pyramid in quite a few weeks, but my initial assessment is 30/30 is the easist. I know there is quite a bit of debate about that. Maybe if I did pyramid again, I would think otherwise. It was a good way to warm up...

Hi everyone, I did pushups yesterday 22 10 10 10, with 30 second rests. They were on my toes and I am pretty sure I didn't cheat with wide pushups or by not going down far enough ;). But unfortunately down from my one set max of 28, oh well. I am thinking pushups will always be tough for...

Good morning, We are having another beautiful day today. Going to grill out for the first time this year (Italian sausage from a local Italian deli). I like to do yoga on my lunch hour, but instead, I am going to make potato salad. I just love potato salad but cannot stand anything not...

Natty, Your day sounds lovely!!!! I was in the office all day missing an 80 degree Chicago day. My 4ds rotation was short just under 3 weeks. My arms got more defined to the point they are exactly where I want them to be. The benefits for me were more mental though: it was SO much fun. The...
