Yippee I managed to do the entire pyramid of biceps. I actually felt strong on the 15s...a definite first for me. Now to tackle a mountain of laundry...it's amazing how fast it accumulates.

Hi ladies! Wednesday I did Imax2. Thursday I did a 55 minute KPC premix as I then went skating in the afternoon for an hour. I also did a total of 60 minutes of walking (taking the kids back and forth from school). It's -22 degrees Celsius. We were well bundled for the walk to school...

Yes, sculling is using your forearms and hands to propel you through the water.

I coached synchronized swimming for 4 years, below are a few of the drills that should help "wipe you out": a) 4 lengths of eggbeater, one length in each direction (make sure you have your shoulders out of the water...if that's too easy put your hands on top of your head while you do them) b)...

1. My toes are long and narrow so my friends think I should be able to play the piano with them. I don't know if I can but I do know I can pick things up off the floor using my toes. 2. I was cover girl for the dance recital last year (I'm doing a leap in the picture). 3. I have swam two...

Well unfortunately dance was cancelled yesterday as the instructor was sick. I did Gym Style Back, Shoulders and Biceps. I just finished doing Imax 2 + Total Body Stretching #3. The Austrian moor mud wrap on Saturday was heavenly. They scrub you with a brush, then oil you and paint mud on...

My first set played perfectly too. The replacement set played perfectly. All of the breaks were exactly where they said they would be. I discovered I don't have a seamless player. The breaks are so short they're barely noticeable.

Well Saturday I managed to achieve my goal. I substituted Butts & Guts including the ab bonus for Gym Style Legs + Core Max. The workout took 95 minutes. I also had a very relaxing Austrian mud wrap Saturday followed by a deep tissue massage. Sunday was rest day due to butt DOMS. Yesterday was...

We're neighbours. I'm in Portage la Prairie. This week I've followed the rotation, just mixed it up a bit. Mon Low Impact Circuit instead of Step Blast Tues 85 min advanced Jazz dance Wed 45 min walk + shovel driveway (my right ankle was acting up so I decided to take the rest day early)...

Lululemon makes an awesome supportive sports bra with built in pads. The support is great. I use it for kickboxing, step aerobics and jazz dancing. My nipples don't show at all due to the built in pad. It's way more comfortable wearing one bra. I used to have to double up before. In fact I've...

I've been called "addicted" because I exercise 1 to 1&1/2 hours six days a week. The person saying it felt that my "exercise addiction" was the same as being an alcoholic. I find it bizarre in our society that watching 25 hours of tv a week is considered normal, yet exercising 9 hours a week is...

You have to do what makes you feel happy! After having my two kids I went from a 34B to a 34A. I shrank! I'd been a 34B since age 13 so this was a bit of a shock, especially compared to how big my chest was while I was breast feeding. I've been finding I just get padded bras and totally enjoy...

Hi everyone! Dance class was 85 minutes tonight. I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow. We did a lot of technique at the bar and then worked on our jazz dance routine. It's super cool to a very mexican sounding bullfighter type song. Tomorrow I'll tackle Gym Style Chest and Triceps to give...

If you like low weights and high repetition then I would recommend Muscular Endurance and Muscle Max. If you like high weights and lower repetition then I would recommend Pyramid Upper Body and Pyramid Lower Body. Awesome leg workouts are Butts & Guts and Xpress Leaner Legs. If you like...

Good morning everyone. I started the January rotation on the first. I received my replacement DVDs so I've been doing some substitutions to test them before I mail back my old ones. Jan 1 one hour skate + stability ball abs from B&G Jan 2 Pyramid Lower Body + 30 minute skate Jan 3 Pyramid...

My top three favorite circuit DVDs are (not including Drill Max which is a definite favorite): Terminator Gauntlet and Viper (both on the same DVD) High Step Challenge Low Impact Circuit It's very hard to stop at just three. I'd also get Body Max 2 if I were you as the premixes give a...

I use Lancome's waterproof mascara. It doesn't budge even after an hour long swim. An alternative suggestion is get your eyelashes dyed by an esthetician. It takes about 15 minutes and lasts for 6 weeks if it's done properly. The dye should be quite thick and get them to use their darkest...

The first time I did it, I had butt DOMS for three days. I've now done it 5 times, and the DOMS lasts for one day now. The important thing is to not do step the day after. I don't pause the workout and I do all the reps.

I'm super tempted as I love stickers, but presently I have not ordered the calendar. I did order cardio fusion today though...yippee!

Only this crowd would understand me doing the happy dance because I've just placed my order for cardio fusion. I'm a little nervous considering some of the descriptions I've heard. After surviving scrambled eggs on Body Max 2 though, I can do anything! This will definitely help with the winter...
