    I'm here! So, Saturday, I attempted Supercuts. I got about 15 minutes into it and realized that I just wasn't into working out. It might be a very good workout. I just didn't have the wherewithal for it. I think because I started later (9am) and by that time didn't have the energy since I...

    Good morning! I chose Premix 12 out of our 4 choices - of course because it was the shortest. Your post scared me a little. Yes, it was a long workout once you threw in the back and ab portions. But, overall, I didn't think the Tabata part was that bad. I sort of felt like I was doing an...

    Wow, now I'm kind of scared! Which workout did you choose? I can't do coconut oil for sure. Topically, I get a migraine. If I ingest it, I get a stomach ache. Too bad since it's supposed to be good for you, just not for me! Bis and Tris - I made myself go heavier on a few things more than...

    Cardio Leg Blast today. I only completed the first half. When I got to the step portion, I decided to stop because it was really bothering my Achilles. I've had this chronic achilles pain for years - it comes and goes - and I can't really wear heels without it bothering me (luckily, my office...

    RanchMom - you might want to insert Chest/Back/Shoulders the day after Tabatacise? I looked at SuperCuts, and that appears to be one of those combo cardio/weight workouts using small weights. So, just in case maybe add a day between that and C/B/S?

    Chest, Back, and Shoulders done! I made a point to pick up heavier weight on a few moves, even if I hadn't marked to go up, just to see if I could. And, I'm happy to report that I could. I'm always surprised since it's never easy to see that come the start of the workout. I just have to be...

    Hi, Ranch Mom! Interesting thoughts on ICE. I remember my first ICE workout. I was dying, and I thought I was in such good shape! I had to pause 3 times!! But, it didn't take long to build up my cardio endurance. So, yes it will be interesting to see what happens going back to ICE. I've...

    Hey, Ranch Mom - just try to be active this weekend, and don't stress about cardio legs. My triceps are still a bit sore from two days ago, and my abs were sore starting yesterday. Still are! What I like about Hard Strikes AND the kickboxing for ICE is the music. Just when I want to be done...

    I found the HIIT workout MUCH easier to do in the middle of the week rather than at the end. I had a lot more energy. So, I liked that. I realized that I've done it wrong the past two times and didn't do the premix with Core #1. So, I did it correctly today. I HATE AB WORKOUTs, but I did it...

    Hi, RanchMom! BTW - I wanted to ask where "Ranch Mom" came from. Do you live on a ranch, or just in a ranch-style home? :) Bis and Tris completed today. I tried to go heavier in one spot, and I was successful. I just don't see me lifting anywhere near 20 pounds for a bicep curl ANYTIME...

    Hello and Happy Monday! It was VERY hard to get up to do today's workout. I got to bed about an hour later than I wanted to. And, of course, our 4-year old little doggie decided to come down with a case of the runs. That meant getting up at midnight to let her out, woken again around 3 am...

    Hello! Low Impact HIIT completed. This is the kind of workout I both love and hate. Love that it is truly low impact, hate doing it because it's hard!! At the end of week, I'm pretty wiped, and I missed one of my 5 meals yesterday, started later today, and so that probably added to the...

    Hey there. I hope your rest day will help! Bis and Tris, and since I had some time and I still felt guilty about missing legs, I thought about what needed the most help (what I wasn't getting from walking) and decided to do the ball/chair portion from the legs workout. So, I felt much better...

    Great job on getting your workout done! I did not get the workout done today. I had to take a kid to a 7 am orthodontist appointment, myself to an 8 am dermatology appointment, and then back by 9 am for a conference call and work ever since. I was going to do it this afternoon, but now I'm...

    Chest, Back, Shoulders. I went heavier on several moves, even a few that I hadn't marked to go heavier. For next time, I'm marked one more I will need to go heavier on. Pushups generally on my toes except during the warm up. She just goes too fast on the ones in the workout for me to be able...

    My knee and right foot were hurting today before my workout. I had to walk around a bit to get warmed up before starting my workout. But, then I tackled Hard Strikes and did a bit better than I thought I would based on how I felt before it. Afterward, I did some foot rolling/stretching...

    Cardio Leg Blast today. I still feel bad - headache and stomach ache - so I told myself I only had to do half. I did 6 of 12 rounds. Then, I was skipping to the cool down and found a few rounds I wanted to do, so I ended up doing 8 rounds plus another strength exercise (so, that means...

    Hi, Ranch Mom. No, I haven't really been using it the past few days. It is so time consuming to enter in everything and keep track. I guess I was under the impression that it would also have diets you could follow. And, it sort of does, but I just don't like the way the whole thing works...

    There were sleeping kids in my TV room today. It's 10am, and they are still sleeping. There was also some snoring going on. So, I didn't feel right popping in the DVD even at my computer, since my office is only separated from the TV room by the kitchen. We have sort of an open concept, so it...

    Hi, Ranch Mom! Today, I did the kickboxing workout. I really like how she has good music in the kickboxing workouts (here and in ICE), as it makes the workout really fun. I told myself I only had to get through 20 minutes of it, but I ended up doing the entire workout. Tomorrow, I will have...
