    Checking to check the chinning chicks...11/11

    Joanne, glad you like the mat. I could never do yoga without one. Debbie, thanks for the mish-mosh idea! It looks great and I'm definitely going to try it the next time I do a total body. Today was leg day, so I did "Butts." Man, that is one heck of a workout and I've been feeling it all...

    Checking to check the chinning chicks...11/11

    Briee, the "Bird of Paradise Lady" is a man. I did, however, tell him you're not speaking to him and that you do a mean tree pose. I won't repeat his very unyogic response.:) Actually, my friend and I wound up doing a Baron Baptiste CD which is a great workout, but the guy talks INCESSANTLY...

    Checking to check the chinning chicks...11/11

    Hey Melody, Michelle and Briee! Michelle, your statement about doing the least amount of cardio cracked me up too! Good thing there's yoga, right?:) Melody, you're definitely our hero! I'm so glad you and Will found each other. Briee, your workouts have been amazing me lately. Are...

    cardio fusion

    I did the 41 minute premix this morning, which was comprised of the cardio portion of six (or maybe five - I forget) Drill Max drills. Like another poster said, there is no recovery, which makes this premix especially tough because these drills are very intense! I haven't done the whole thing...

    Chinnin Checkin 11-9-06

    Hey everyone! I had cardio and abs on my plate today so did the 42 minute premix from Cardio Fusion, which turned out to be the BM2 warm-up followed by the cardio segments of all six (or maybe just five of them?) Drill Max drills. It was very intense with no recovery between the blasts. That...

    Joanne, you definitely need a yoga mat to do yoga. They're called sticky mats and keep your feet from sliding all over the place. It's really difficult to do yoga without a mat. They are sold everywhere. Catherine, let me know how you like Drill Max. It WOULD be fun to work out all...

    Chinnin Checkin 11-9-06

    Hey Catherine! Glad you're off today. It's going to be in the 70's and sunny here in VA. Weird weather for November, but I'll take it. I'm playing tennis this morning. I thought B & G was a fun and different approach to Cathe's usual leg fare. I did the stability ball "guts" portion after...

    Chinnin Checkin 11-9-06

    Hey Chinnies! Where are all of you? I wasn't able to work out for the past two days so decided to try LIC to hit a bit of everything this morning. It was fun and her push-up variation was right up my difficulty-with-push-ups alley. I'll finish out the week with the rotation I posted the...

    I have a chin but don't DO chins....

    Hey Catherine! Glad you're feeling better and getting back into it. I hate those ever-intensifying hormone fluctuations too. Briee, where the heck do you get your energy??? I'd never be able to work out like that at 2am, insomnia or no. Is your husband like that too? Thanks for the UB...

    I have a chin but don't DO chins....

    Hey Melody! Great to hear from you! You, Joanne and I are three peas in an ecto pod. I wish I were strong enough to attempt chins again without getting injured. I need to do more heavy UB, but don't have the time for 3-day splits and I'm sick of the Pyramids. Does anyone have a 60 min or...

    Chinny Check-in Nov 4th

    Briee, I would NEVER be sarcastic with you, although I have to admit, sarcasm is a huge part of my personality. I need to point out to all our readers in chin-land, though, that no self-respecting ecto can do 11 pull-ups. If anyone can convince me otherwise, I'm all ears. Interesting that...

    Chinny Check-in Nov 4th

    Good morning, Chinsters! Another busy day for me today but I plan to do BM2 cardio/power circuit. I did BM2 UB yesterday because I was time-crunched and wanted to check it out. I don't think it's much of a stand-alone UB workout, but okay if you're short on time or as part of BM2 as produced...

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the squirrel pix. Thanks for posting them, Michelle! According to Rocky, there's a whole community of squirrel yogis. He's gone to several of their retreats (Shaki, the squirrel doing upward squirrel, runs one of the workshops). Rocky also owns the very popular...

    Chinny Check-in Nov 4th

    Catherine, for HIIT I usually do Imax 2 Blast Only premix, 6 intervals of one of the Imaxes, the KPC Cardio Conditioning premix or one of the 30-40 minute mish-moshes A-Jock suggested for me. Some of them might not be true HIIT, but they're short and intense interval training. Joanne, glad...
