Hi Again! Gin - Thanks. Yes, I will be resting this weekend but will hopefully get a Stretch Max in. It took a couple of hours but the pain finally subsided this morning. My atty is calling my buyer's buyer's atty to see what the holdup is with the closing of her house. This is a...

Deanie - Sorry the perfect pushup didn't work out for you. Things always look better on those infomercials. Cathe uses the pushup stands like Tony. In fact, I think she used them in MIS. STS looks like its going to cost money for me too - I finally have to get the regular Club Step so I...

Deanie - Did you see the new blog picture of Meso 3? I like the outfits and I think they all look great! I probably won't be doing Meso 3 legs - will probably do the weighted vest option (another thing to add to my equipment wish list). Although I will do the deadlifts - love 'em. Marcy

I'm more of a heavy lifter so I actually prefer MIS which you can go moderate to heavy. I've actually only used Power Hour a few times. Body Max is also a good all-around workout that's got it all. Marcy

Good Morning Chicas! Today I did Willpower & Grace with Stacie Lei Krauss (one I got in a trade). What a deceptively challenging workout! I am sore all over. Even had to take Motrin already. It is a barefoot workout (just bodyweight) - kind of like Reach, Core Syn, yoga and stretch...

Gin - Thanks for the recipe (again!) They look really good. Have you met your new director yet at your present school? Hopefully you'll find out soon about the new job. I'm sure it's torture waiting. By buyer's mortgage broker is meeting with her tonight. I hope he's going to tell her...

Mine is April 7. Marcy

Hello Ladies! I did MIS this morning. Did the warmup and the deadlifts, switched to Mindy's All About Legs Medicine Ball workout, then went back and finished the rest of MIS. Did one chinup. Stats: Deadlifts - 40# Bench press -36# Set 1, 40# set 2 Flies - Set 1 - 19#; Set 2 - 15#...

Hello All! Alas, only 1 chinup today:( Did MIS today. Do the "chinups" in the ab section count?:7 Only did deadlifts for legs and then did Mindy's All About Legs Medicine Ball workout. Then went back and did the rest of MIS. I totally hate barbell squats! I don't do this workout very...

Deanie - I love Challah. My grandmother used to get it all the time. It's the best bread. Never knew how many calories in it though. Glad to hear your stomach was flatter with yoga and that Cathe included yoga (and Pilates) inspired abs in STS. I can't wait to see what the Workout Manager...

It's Pyramid Upper Body for me. I've learned to do them first to be sure I can get them all done. I have no energy left at the end of the workout. Those planks and pikes at the end are killer. Marcy

Hi Again! Gin - On Tuesdays, I watch Biggest Loser, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and if we time everything just right, we like to watch Beauty and the Geek but we can only tape two shows on TIVO so we have to go upstairs to watch things while downstairs we're recording. Sounds like...

Good Afternoon Chinsters! I did David Swenson's Primary Ashtanga Yoga Series. I have DOMS all over. Did some poses I'd never done before. I'm really getting the knack for doing headstands. No chins today. I'll have to tack them on to MIS tomorrow (if I can get through it. I feel...

Good Afternoon Girls! I finally did David Swenson's First Series. This was tough but doable. Some poses I'd never done before. Only a couple of arm balances. Those come in the next series. I've finally getting the knack of doing headstands. I just can't believe how David gets out of...

Hi Again! Deanie - Usually I'll throw in chinups/pullups after a cardio workout or maybe before an upper body workout (before all the other exercises zap my strength). If I do Cathe, I might substitute her 3rd set of back exercises with chins/pulls. My DD was good at homework but DS was...

Hi Again! Deanie - It looks like I won't be getting Cathe's pullup tower; although someone at my other checkin recommended this one which looks intresting: http://www.amazon.com/Strength-Trainer-3-Station-Power-Tower/dp/B000R6QR9U/ref=pd_sim_sg_title_23 I did like the bench she was...

Hi Girls! Sorry for the late post. I did CIA 2802 with Carlos Arias (Latin Xplosion) today. What fun! Even the cooldown was great. Also good ab section (kind of pilates based with some plank work). So far I'm loving the new CIAs. Traded CIA 2801 though an got Stomp It Step Showdown 2...

Gym Styles is my favorite. The Gym Styles have more of a Muscle Max feel to them. Pyramids and Muscle Endurance are more lighter weight/higher rep workouts and Gym Styles is more medium to heavy weight and uses the resistance band which I find very effective. There is no core work in the Gym...

Hello Chinsters! Today was CIA 2802 - Latin XPlosion. I really had a good time doing this one. There were pilates style abs at the end. Even the cooldown was fun. No chinups for me today. Catherine - The bar does look very thick. I think I'll stick with my door gym and if I have to...
