    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR WEDJAN 12

    Debbie, I hope the little kitties start getting along. I read your post a few days ago about the new little one showing up...it would be sooo hard to not keep the sad little guy! Poor kitty. Yesterday I did Circuit Blast, which is pretty fun, but today so far nothing yet. I'll probably go to...

    why do I look pretty in mirrors (some) but ugly in photos

    I think part of it is that in regular life you're constantly moving through these small steps in a series of motions, like say when you're in the process of smiling or blinking or turning around. But then in a picture, it freezes it in just one part of the process, like you're partially into a...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR SUN JAN 9

    Hey everyone, Lori, glad that foot of snow never materialized. Snow makes things so tricky. My family up in Washington got positively dumped on with snow a couple weeks before Mark and I visited, so I was pretty sure we'd get more when we were up there, but blessedly we missed it (and now...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR THURS JAN 6

    Teddy, you sound really motivated and that's awesome, but don't be too hard on yourself! I hate dressing rooms too, but I always feel like it's the lighting...it just seems to always be the most unflattering lighting! Today I went to yoga, which was great because I didn't get to a yoga class...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR JAN 1 HAPPY 2011

    Hi everyone! My first workout of the new year was the upper body segments from High Reps, and then I learned combo 6 from Tracey Staehle's Step SweatfestII. I would have done more but the fiance was being deliberately distracting! Grrr! Oh well, I'm actually not up for much after last night's...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR FRI DEC 31 HAPPY NEW YEAR"S EVE

    Great workouts, everyone! Teddy, that's cool of your son to have your basement painted. =) I probably won't workout today as we're about to go shopping and then this evening will be my sister's new year's party. Yesterday, though, I did through interval 4 of Tracey's Step Sweatfest II...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR WED DEC 29

    Hey everyone, I'm up in Washington with my fam, which is great, but until recently the internet's been real sketchy so I haven't been on much. Fiance and I got a new router for mom, though, so that's helping a lot. A couple days ago I did the high impact and low impact drills from Intensity...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR MON DEC 20

    today's been pretty much Christmas shopping, grading, grocery shopping, and cooking, so not much time for working out. I did something quick, the abs from Buts and Guts and then the high impact and about half the low impact from Intensity.

    Hard Core fitness Maniacs Sun 19th

    Today I did that new lower body workout (can't remember what it's called right now)--after the warm up, I started from after the second cardio burst and finished out the standing part, then did the floorwork, then calves and stretch on my own. I can't remember if I checked in yesterday, but I...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR FRI DEC 17

    Today's workout was yoga class, a level two class with an instructor I consider pretty hard, but fortunately for me, just an hour and ten minutes versus the typical hour and twenty five minute class. =)

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR THURS DEC 16

    Cheryl...wow, that does not sound pleasant. Glad you're back and clear to work out, though. I am sure it feels good to be able to get back into things...considering what you've had to deal with it's totally understandable that your body needs time to work back up to your normal workouts...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR WED DEC 15

    Hey everyone. Just a quick check in to say hi. It's finals week, which means loads of grading and extra dealing with students...they're all of a sudden really concerned about their grades. So exhausted. I really wanted to work out today, but it just didn't happen. Kind of bummed about that...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR FRI DEC 3

    Hello! So glad it's basically the weekend now. =) I got my new workouts in this week, but I've not been able to do as much of them as I had hoped. They came in tuesday and I didn't have much time to workout, but I realllly wanted to try something, so I did the shortest Inensity premix, the...

    Dry Hair - What shampoos are good for this

    I think it really helps to shampoo less. I shampoo about every third day. Also, I've not tried this yet myself, but I've heard that sleeping on silk pillow cases is really good for your hair and your skin as well. As far as products, I've been using Bumble and Bumble, which seems pretty good. I...

    HARDCORE FITNESS MANIACS, SUNDAY, OCT. 28TH

    Hi Lori, what yoga dvds do you like the best? I like mine fairly well, but many of them (or at least, from my small collection) don't seem to hold the poses for long. I did one today that I haven't done for a while, Tracy Long's Better Burn, Better Buns. It's different and kind of fun...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR SAT NOV 27

    For today's workout I went to yoga class. It was a sub--I enjoy having subs because it's a nice little variety. This lady had us doing some different things for sure; a couple of times I was thinking, Wait...you want us to do *what*? It was fun though. =) I thought I got my dvds in early...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR FRI NOV 26

    Ok, my workout's done, and not too late in the evening. I did Tracey's High Intensity Step Mix 2 through combo 4, which is a little over half an hour.

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR FRI NOV 26

    Hey everyone, hope you all had an awesome day yesterday. And no, no Black Friday shopping for me, unless you count internet shopping. (Haven't done any yet, but did see a couple sale emails this morning which I'll check out sometime). It would have to be something pretty amazing for me to brave...

    HARD CORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR WED NOV 24

    Theresa, yeah, there was this contingent of thirteen-ish year old girls...I think they came specifically for Keanu Reeves because they would giggle and twitter when he came on. Annoying. I was gonna go to yoga, but I ended up just doing some yoga at home for half an hour.
