Rhea - You are so funny :p! Not much happening here - workouts, work, yard duty, visiting the nursing home - that pretty much consumes my entire week. But it's all good :). And of course, I'll soon add gardening to the mix.... I'm riding my stationary bike at night, too - but as I get more yard...

Tracy - we could all do without drama queens (and kings)!!! Just think how much more peaceful and calm life would be without them! Sorry work is exhausting you again :(! I'm sticking to what I did last week and I think I'll do it for 3 or 4 weeks total - the XT uppers and legs (not the cardio...

Melinda - I think it was just because I got so very tired of doing Core 1 over and over when I did the rotation Cathe set up when it first came out - and then getting so frustrated trying to find where Core 2 was so I could do it for a change ;). Hopefully the TL workouts will go really well for...

Melinda - So good to see you :D! I didn't realize RWH was that way :(! But I agree - even if they're shorter - and those dragging planks are killer - I think they have helped me immensely! But boy I tell ya - after my 5 days, I am MORE than ready for a day off w/ that series ;)! I know I get...

Rhea - You are a good person, my friend :). I hope your deputy can get everything straightened out - for both of your sakes. Sounds like you're doing awesome on the weights, girlie - you go :D!!!

Hey, Tracy, glad to 'see' you :D! Hopefully work has gotten a bit better for you :)???? I'm finishing up the LI series and am torn over whether to move on to XT or RWH. I'm kinda contemplating RWH, focusing on the circuit workouts the first couple weeks and then focusing on the strength...

Melinda - Wow, what a great benefit to be able to workout at your job!!!! Think how much time that will free up in your "off duty" time :D!!!! Awesome :cool:! Hopefully you'll pack a better lunch or lunch/snack next time :). Jeez, just the thought of GS Legs gives me a major case of DOMS! Nah -...

Tracy - Sounds like you just had to find the right thing for YOU :). No, I didn't get that series - nothing in it spoke to me. Well, you guys probably have better form than I do - some days I am horrified at myself when I glance in the mirror when I'm exercising :( .... Those RWH uppers kick...

Rhea - Way to go getting those 1RM tests done :cool:! I tried back when I had STS but since I've sold that series, I don't worry with it any more :p. Hope your meeting went well! Just as a note in case anyone else is doing what I did: On TBT lower, I noticed on the forward-leaning lunges and...

Tracy - Congrats on that weight loss :D :D :D AND on keeping it off :D :D :D!!!! Sounds like YOU are doing awesome :cool:! So glad you got that rash under control - how uncomfortable it sounded :(! I'm with you on the weight workouts :p. But, IMHO, a lot of these newer cardios seem to be more...

Rhea - Amazing how it kicked my butt - literally! When I did them before I didn't think they were effective :o. Granted, I added some extra moves/reps/exercises but holy mackerel :eek:!!! Gosh - now I might have to do them again next week to see if they work me hard again :rolleyes:. But I did...

Okay - today I did S&G after having done the TBT upper/lower and CSS. Maybe I should've stuck with Afterburn/Athletic Training :p! There are a LOT of burpees, pushups and more importantly, walking/dragging planks in the workouts I did this week. Yowza - my body is one hurting unit :eek: and I...

Sounds like a perfect golfing day, Rhea - hope you take advantage of it :D! Remember the importance of variety - after a winter of doing indoor workouts, golfing would be a very nice change of pace, IMHO :cool:!

Melinda - That is awesome :D :cool: :D :cool:!!!!!!!!! My hat's off to you - no way would I ever want to challenge you to a bike race :p! And I agree - to me, the ROM is most important, not the poundage :). It's the ROM (and balance) that disappears as we age so better latch onto it all we can ;)!

LOL, Rhea :p :D :p :D!!!!! I've decided I'm rounding out my endurance month with TBT (upper and lower), CSS, S&G, and one other cardio/TB workout. I just can't stand the thought of tackling Afterburn and Ath Training again :eek:....

Rhea - So glad to 'see' you :D! And so happy you took some time off :cool:!!! What a great idea - you can do Afterburn and then tell Tracy and me how hard it was so we feel better :p ;)!

Melinda and Rhea - Hope you guys are doing well!!!!!!!! Miss you :(!

Tracy - I just made my own from XT and LIS. Primarily I've been doing Afterburn, Ath Training, Super Cuts, CSS, S&G. I did do AOHiiT (once) and Hd Str (once) and one week I was so tired from TB workouts that I threw in TBT Upper and Lower and skipped two TB workouts. I've been doing Afterburn...

Melinda - Good for you :cool:! Re: the step for burpees... I tried this past week to not use the step but seriously, I think leg length is an issue for me, too. Without the step, I am way too hunched up - and my hips do NOT like the angle :eek:! So today I did the burpees w/ the step and one...

Melinda - I have decided to go really light, especially on all the shoulder work - which Cathe does tons of. Since I'm not doing heavy wt work now (doing an entire endurance rotation), I figure all the full-body moves in these workouts just have to be good enough. I'm not going to do endurance...
