Well...I did STS Total Body yesterday morning (finished at about 9:30 a.m.) I skipped the ab portion at the end...I was spent! By 3:00 yesterday afternoon, my entire body was feeling that workout. Today, even though I didn't do the ab portion, my abs are sore. I plan on doing those ab...

I got my Total Body dvd on Monday and previewed it on Monday evening. Since it's total body, I'm not sure where to fit it in, or what to substitute it for. It looks like it will be another favorite. What do you all think about doing it once a week in place of a different STS resistance...

Good morning, everyone. Thanksgiving was wonderful. We had 30 people at our house for dinner. It had been a cold and rainy week leading up to Thanksgiving Day and was raining and it even snowed big fat flakes for about 20 minutes when the party got started. We had a smoked turkey and a...

Good morning! Thank you all for the encouragement. Sometimes I feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew (pun intended :p ) when I set my sights on a weight loss goal. This time feels very different. I enjoy a challenge and I think the challenge of staying on track during the...

Janie: There's not much cuter than a dog in a sweater. And you made it out of your own sweater sleeve! Very resourceful! And I don't make a big deal out of my birthday to anyone. My kids...that's a different story. Their birthdays seem to go on for days! :p Julie: I bought the tower...

I had a very quiet weekend. My husband was deer hunting with all three of our kids. Saturday was my 47th birthday and I spent it watching movies and doing a little light house work. That was, of course, AFTER I did STS Disc 3 Legs.:) I always view my birthday and sort of my own personal New...

There's no school today because of Veteran's Day, but I got up early to get my HiiT on. Double Wave Pyramid was my choice today. Yikes...There's a lot packed into that 30 minutes!! :o Janie: I wish I had a scratch 'n sniff computer monitor! That bread looks wonderful! :) Cheryl: Every...

Janie: Glad your vertigo is verti-gone! ;) I know someone who suffered with that for months! Pam: Cardio X is one of the 12 workouts in P90X. It's not the biggest sweat producer, but good enough for a questionable back day. Come to think of it, none of the P90X workouts produce as much...

Thanks for the pats on the back, everyone. I can see (and feel) that the support and encouragement is just what I need. I hope to be able to give as good as I get as I get to know you all better! :) Today's workout was Cardio X. It's about 45 minutes long and has a little bit of everything...

Janie: I hope your vertigo doesn't keep you down for long! My husband has back issues, too. And high blood pressure. And about 50 lbs. to lose. But he won't do anything about it either. It's one of my daily prayers that someday he'll see the light. I am writing today down as a...

Cheryl & Pam: Thank you very much. Your support means a lot. I started my warm up at 5:15. A little later than I wanted to, but I was finished with the workout, showered and breakfast started cooking by the time I had to wake my daughter up at 6:30. My shoulders held up well, but I did...

Well... I have briefly gone back and skimmed all of your posts of the last several days. I didn't grab every detail, but I got enough to know that you are all moving forward, facing fears (Janie and the dogs);), and that I am NOT up on all of the abbreviations for Cathe's many workouts! :p...

Hello, ladies. I have read NOTHING about what you all have been up to :( but I am still here. My back feels great and my workouts are going okay, too. I've missed a few because we were traveling a little bit, and skipped a few because of all of the other things that are crowding my plate. I...

Good Friday morning! My back feels 100% today and I have the day off! :) I am going to work my legs today and am looking forward to the DOMS I know I'll be feeling later tonight and all weekend. Julie: I have not done the heavy bag portion of MMA Boxing. In fact, I have not even...

Pam: I really wish my husband would find a new doc. He really doesn't care for her either (she was 3 hours late for his last appointment:mad::mad::mad::mad:) and he feels she's just content to write a prescription for whatever ails him. It's very frustrating. And, YES...I think OUR docs are...

Good morning. Julie: My husband and kids are on board with healthy eating...my DH just eats too MUCH of it, and he does like his beer. :rolleyes: It doesn't help that his doctor has said nothing to him about lowering his BP with exercise and weight loss...she just renews his 'scrip for...

Good Sunday afternoon! I'll give a general response to all of you...I'll figure out the format of these forums soon and be able to make things more personal as I get acclimated. First, thanks for all the well wishes for my back. It is feeling better, but still not great. No leg workout...

Good evening. Julie: (I think...still trying to learn which names belong to which posts)...No worries about the body fat testing. :cool: I have heard of other people who got drastically different readings using different measuring methods. Pam: I also believe in everything in...

Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome. This type of support will keep me moving in the right direction. And thanks for the congrats on my weight loss. I've managed to keep most of it off, but I struggle with my diet...I can do any workout that is put before me, but I have never been able to...

Good morning. I am a lurker. There...I said it. But I would like to lurk no more. Briefly, I will turn 47 years old in November and have been working out 5 - 6 days a week since October of 2006. I have done multiple rounds of Beachbody products (Power 90, P90X, X+ and hybrids of all of...
