I must be doing it wrong then, all the work is going on in my shoulders and feet. Oh well, I'm done with Meso 1 shoulders... maybe next time I'll hit the core with it. :)

Beauty! Thanks ladies!!

You know that one set of shoulders where you turn to the right and lift the weights over your head, then turn to the left and do the same, then turn center & lift out front to shoulder height?? What's up with the turning? Does it serve a purpose? I just stay in one spot cuz I feel silly doing...

I have 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15 & 20 lb dumbbells, the Troy Lite bar that Cathe uses - with 55# of plates. Then I got a cheap set of adjustable dumbbells that I could use for sets that are heavier than 20#, and I can use to add to my barbell. You'll need a stability ball. I also bought the tower...

Cool. It's probably easier to work with in a solid state anyway. I'll pick some up the next time I go shopping.

Hand warmers are definitely a good thing to have. I started shoveling the end of my driveway the other morning, but since my running mitten/gloves aren't made for that - I stopped after about 10 minutes. Thankfully, my plow guy showed up about an hour later.

Hey there, I started dry brushing last week after you mentioned it in your response to my loose skin post. You said that you use coconut oil after your shower. They were out of stock on it at my grocery store last week, except for some solid looking stuff - so I grabbed a bottle of Sesame oil...

OMG, Morningstar - you're amazing. I don't even want to go outside to let the dogs do their business when it gets in the single digits, I can't imagine running in subzero. I did run with Winston (my Aussie) a couple weeks ago when it was pretty cold and windy. It made my eyes water and my...

If you have the tower, you can use that as a squat rack too. That's what I do, but I'm short - so I'm not sure how it works for a taller person. But hey.... if you've got access to the real deal, then that's cool. Cathe does use the assisted pull-up in one set - it looks really nice.

Happy Saturday, ladies! Did my 3 mile run this morning, took a break for coffee, a banana with some almond butter and oatmeal, then popped outside to shovel the end of my driveway. I only did a little before deciding shoveling is lame and came back inside. I have a guy who plows it for me...

LOL - this reminds me of the first time I did Plyo Legs. My dog thought my jumping was a signal that it was time for play and he knocked me off my step. That's when I decided I needed to convert my extra room into a workout room where I could close him out. I seriously love the Squat Rack...

I do the 3 scheduled workouts, run for cardio, and then tack on another strength or toning workout on Saturday. The "extra" day has typically been a leg workout, but I've done STS Total Body too. I think the most important thing is to get at least the 3 days of weight work in, as long as you...

If you can't do all the reps, you've gone too heavy and should lower your weight. If you've done your 1RM test correctly, this shouldn't really be a problem. The last few reps should be pretty challenging. Seriously... don't be "scared". You will be surprised at how well you do. When you...

If you have the tower, you lower the bar so that your body is on the floor. You modify the intensity on how you place your legs. Straight out with only your heels on the floor is the most challenging. What will you be using for your pull-ups? Do you have an assisted pullup machine?

I would think that anything that possibly could need to be washed off would be destroyed in the freezing process.

She's very sultry. I hope she's fixed, or all the toms will be after her. LOL

Thanks for the Kettlebell advice, Regina. I watched some YouTube videos this morning and well.... I sure hope I don't end up throwing one of them through my wall. :) My video is due on Monday, but I don't think I'll get to trying it for a week or two. Gotta wait for payday to buy the...

Regina - Not sure which varietal he stole, since I was in the WSJ Wine Club for a bit and they'd send an assortment of reds. My favorites are Malbec, Tempranillo, Red Zinfandel, Riesling, Gewurtztraminer and Pinto Grigio. The only one that I don't like is Merlot. I have had some merlot that...

Good morning ladies! Sitting here at work smiling at your posts. KadetKim - I can't wait until you start STS and begin posting on how much you love it. Don't worry, Meso 1 isn't that difficult because it's lighter weights and endurance based. I think the only thing that makes me groan is...
