    Check-In!

    Hey Nanc... At first, when I saw the subject line of your post, I thought you were referring to the morning workout thing! "OMG, Ms. Up-At-The-Butt-Crack-Of-Dawn ;-) having trouble with morning workouts?!?" Hee hee hee... But good news... I did get up Wednesday morning (not as early as you...

    Ok.. ALL STEP... ??

    Not my favorite, but... I do like it now that I've learned the choreography pretty well. I had a little trouble at first, since Cathe doesn't break down some of the moves as much -- specifically, the grapevine on the step/shuffle pivot part. Now that I've learned it, that's my favorite part of...

    New, and greedy!

    Go ahead, Sophie! It sounds like the CTX tapes would be great for you. They are intense, but the shorter cardio segments make them very do-able. Plus, you can always modify out some of the higher impact stuff if it's too intense for you. From what you've described of your workouts, I don't...

    Check-In!

    Hi Christina! I just have to get back into the morning workouts. I think I'd drive my hubby bananas if I'd start setting 2 alarms, though! ;-) Glad you found something that works for you! I'll just have to keep remembering you and all the other check-in people who are getting up early to...

    Check-In!

    Still trying to do the morning thing... Hopefully it will go better this week! I did manage to get up early enough on Tuesday to work out, but nada the rest of the week. My prime workout time seems to be 2-3 PM; unfortunately, I'm at work at that time, except for weekends or if I take a day...

    Box Lunge funny

    Box Lunch! Debbie, the first time I heard it, I thought Cathe said "box lunch" too! I have a good excuse, though... I'm in PA Dutch Country, where "box lunge" would actually be pronounced that way! ;-) Lynne Lounsbury

    CTX Form Question (kinda-sorta)

    It worked! On Tuesday, I stayed with the same weight, slowed down a bit, focused on the chest area and also put my bench on an incline. Definitely felt it in the chest that time! Thanks so much! Lynne

    Early Check-in!

    Hi Christina Oh, I'm with you on the AM workout thing. (see my other post above) I'll be sure to think of you working out at 4:30 AM when I'm ready to hit the snooze button tomorrow morning! Maybe that will be enough to make me get out of bed and work out! Lynne

    Early Check-in!

    Love the pics, Nancy! Thanks for sharing the Cape Cod pics! You all look great! Cleda, isn't short hair wonderful? Anyway, I had a pretty lame week. So much that I'm even counting my Saturday activities as a workout (hey, my butt was *a little* sore on Sunday!). Monday - Nada. Tuesday - All...

    Q: re dumbells v. barbells

    Not Cathe but... I usually just hold the dumbbells where it feels comfortable. For squats, I'll either hold them at my sides with my arms straight, or rest them lightly on my hips. In the Firm videos, they put them on their shoulders and hang onto the "bell" in front (if that makes sense the...

    CTX Form Question (kinda-sorta)

    Thanks for the additional tips! I kinda blew my workout schedule last week, so I haven't done Step & Intervals again yet, but I'll be doing that chest work tomorrow morning (provided I get my butt out of bed!) and I'll keep all your tips in mind! Thanks again! Lynne

    step works modification

    Modification ideas Niki, I don't have Step Works but I did borrow it from a friend once... and the new CTX All Step video has those grapevines. Another alternative for those would be to just do a grapevine on the floor, except if you would be starting by stepping up with the right foot, change...
