Yes, once you add in the footwork and alternating the leading arm it's a game changer.

I put together a 42min workout using STS2.0 band work as well as some of the band work from Lite Body Weight & Bands. STS2.0 has lots of rest periods between sets which lengthens the workout. Also, I had to add a few breaks to give me time to change the door anchor position and change bands...

I can attest to this; I came out of University with a Master of Chemistry degree only to find most companies thought I was overqualified and underexperienced. It took me a while to get my first job. Be careful you don't fall into the trap of using education as a stalling tactic for finding a...

I have a spinlock barbell and need extra time to adjust the weights on that. Now that I am an OnDemand subscriber I tend to use the workout blender to add extra time where I need it to change weights. That way I can just let the workout play through without having to pause and restart.

It's not just the American delivery services. I have issues all the time here in New Zealand. Not so much with lost packages but with where the drivers leave the packages. I put on my packages to deliver to the front door. I get packages left under the letterbox at the top of my driveway...

I put together a blended workout including the warmup, cool down, and stretch from Step Fit, approx. 29 minutes. While I can do the macarena, putting it together with the footwork is no joke. Even though I wasn't using a step, just moving my feet at the same time kept putting me off...

Exactly what I was thinking of doing. :) I've been doing some cdorner basic step workouts on the floor and also blended a couple of low impact Cathe ones.

I haven't done this step workout before, but I do remember how to do the Macarena. Will have to check it out. Currently I can't do step workouts using the step, due to hip tendonitis, so I've been doing them on the floor. Even with just the platform, the up-down motion hurts after a few...

I've never done a "shovel-max" workout. It doesn't snow where I live. :)

So, did the barre workout again with my ball more deflated and it worked. :D Really felt the burn in my legs. Afterwards I did the chair stretch from Step Boss.

Thanks for the tip Trixoo. I will keep that in mind if the ball doesn't work. :)

Wow, scoring 100% on your final exam with everything you've been going through is one heck of an achievement! Congratulations! :)

No, I was wearing shorts, and the ball was on bare skin. It is summer here and too hot for leggings. I usually use a partially deflated ball for better grip but maybe it wasn't deflated enough. Also, my ball isn't a Cathe ball, it is one I bought locally. It may be made from different...

You only have to type in Philippines Gold Treasure Hunt Scam into Google to come up with multiple hits. Some of the scams are quite elaborate and people have been swindled out of millions of dollars. Unfortunately, with scams like this, it can be difficult for people who have invested large...

Did the barre bonus yesterday and tacked on STS 2.0 Active Recovery. Barre bonus was going well until I got to the high hip raises with the ball squeezed behind the knee. It popped out and went flying across the room. Retrieved it, started over, and it popped out again. Ended up having to...

My standard barbell weighs 6kg (13.2lbs) unloaded so I have to take that weight into account. I also have spin lock adjustable dumbbells, I hardly ever use them, but I think they weigh about 1kg (2.2lbs) unloaded. That would definitely make a difference for exercises like lateral raises and...

Did the main killer legs workout yesterday. Feeling it in the quads, calves and glutes today. I used the workout blender to insert a few extra rest/water breaks throughout the workout. It is summer here and hot and very humid.

I made up a blended workout of about 40 minutes using mostly the weight plate exercises. I added in the squat/crossover from the bonus and also did the bicep curls and upright rows using an unweighted barbell (mine is approx. 6kg unweighted). I also did the pull overs and lying extensions but...

I blended a workout using the 4 Kickboxing Combos and the Kick Combo from Gloved Up and Sweaty and the 4 Jump Rope rounds from the bonus. Also added in the lateral skates from the bonus. I interspersed the jump rope rounds with the kickboxing combos so instead of using boxing gloves, which I...
