Good Morning Ladies! Today I did Legs & Back from P90X. Since I just did Bis and Tris yesterday, I didn't want to do too much upper body and I really wanted to try and up my reps on my pulls and chins. Out of the 8 sets, I attempted between 4-6 each time with only the first one really...

Thanks, Deanie! I feel like I'm getting stronger every day. Also, breathing is better and Boot Camp was much easier than the last time I did it. On the zig zag hop turn, I didn't do last rep on each side but other than that, it felt really good and I got through the whole last drill with all...

I have to agree with everything Jenn said plus: Cathe - Turned me on to lifting weights and her production values are probably the best out there. Her kickboxing workouts still work the best for me. Amy - Best for hi/lo and step. Tracey - Love her for functional fitness, great core...

Deanie: Did you only buy one pair of 1.25#? Marcy

Hi Girls! I had a great workout this morning. Did Boot Camp/Tris & Bis weights first premix, B&G Stability Ball Abs and B&G Stretch. It was much better having a barbell now. My set also came with the short dumbbell handles too. I think I either have to buy 3# weights or I'll just wait and...

I also liked Sculpt Sweatfest. It is a good functional fitness workout. Tracey incorporates a lot of balance work in this which really makes you turn on your core. I don't use it as much as I'd like to since I prefer heavy lifting workouts but I really enjoyed it and wish I would do it more...

I like both but prefer In The Ring. I liked all of In The Ring whereas I only liked strikes 7-11 in Strike Zone. I like more choreographed kickboxing whereas Strike Zone is more drills. They are both sweatfests but I feel like I enjoyed In The Ring a lot more and Amy is on the beat whereas...

Good Afternoon! I had to change the rotation around since I rested the other day. Today I did Squeeze legs and abs (everything except AB "C" Abs). Lots of inner thigh work squeezing the ball (which she also does while doing crunches). This one is very similar to Super Callanetics but it's...

Another vote for leg presses. Regarding levitation holds: I also had the hardest time doing them but when I did them in David Swenson's yoga, it worked for me. He does them in lotus position and I have a much easier time with them. Marcy

Power Hour - hate endurance workouts. Power Max - don't really care for athletic type step workouts, prefer dancier choreography. Marcy

Good Afternoon! I did Chest & Back this morning: 1 arm rows (warmup): 15# One arm Rows: 30# both sets Underhand Rows: 46# both sets Chest Flyes: 23# One Arm Rows (Wide Flye): 30# Incline Pullovers: 20# (5# more than last time - that's as much as I could hold in my hands - put 5#...

Hi Girls! No workout yet for me today. I didn't get to sleep until after 2am and got up at 8:30. My elbow is still bothering me slightly. I'm going to try and get a workout in later. We went out today and ordered a shed for the backyard (our last big purchase until we get jobs). I sent...

Try Hilary Burnett's Advanced Mat Pilates and MTV Pilates Mix with Kristin McGee. Marcy

I liked only Strikes 7-12. The first six didn't do much for me and I didn't like that she was off the beat. That said, Strike 9 was a killer for me. Great upper body work. The combos were fresh and fun and it was definitely a sweatfest for me. There were some new moves like some of the...

Muscle Max would fit the bill. Marcy

Good Afternoon! I wound up able to do 4DS Shoulders last night: Pyramid Overhead Press: 8, 10, 12 and 15 (same) Seated Isolation Press: 15# (did all reps but rested between 2nd & 3rd set) Upright Rows: 18# (I think I could go to 20# next time) Standing Lateral Raises: 13# (up 3# on...

Good Afternoon Ladies! Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. I had a rest day. I started to do Strike Zone but then DH interuppted me and I never got back to it so my rotation is going to be a little off this week. I did Strike Zone this morning. I have to admit I was a little disappointed...

Good Morning! Today I did Element Ballet Conditioning. It went much better than the last time I did it. I just wish she switched sides after each exercise. She does 2 or three exercises on one leg before switching sides. I'm going to a dance workshop today. It's about 3 1/2 hours. I...

Good Morning Ladies! I finally got a workout done! I did 4DS Triceps and Biceps, Shoulders & Kickbox abs and stretch. I think the kickbox abs are harder than the LIS abs. Tris: Seated Overhead Extensions: 15, 20, 25, 30 Biceps: Standing Hammer Curl with Twist, 12 and 15# Standing...

Hi Amelia! I watched it too. It was great. I liked mostly all of the couples except for couple 7, 9 and 10. I really liked the girl from Miami (2nd couple) who did the waltz. The fifth couple was also good (the ones who did Mia's dance in the wedding gown). Twitch was great too in the...
