    80-minute Legs definitely NOT as fun today as last week. My legs were SORE and TIRED from Tuesday's Cardio Leg Blast. In fact, my entire body feels like I've been beat up. Heads of the biceps so sore, shoulders -- reaching up and back to scratch my back hurts! I looked at tomorrow's...

    Starting ICE 1/4/16

    I bought and did 21 DFX. I liked it but I never did the regular version to compare. I couldn't do the containers, though. As soon as something restricts my diet, I sort of rebel. I have about 8 pounds I want to lose. With that diet, I didn't like that I was only allowed 2 servings of vegetables...

    Good luck, Sue! For 21 DF did you use the containers?

    I appreciated a shorter workout today with Burn Bis and Tris. Knowing it was shorter, I really focused on lifting heavy -- heavier than I probably original would have for Bis and Tris. I'm proud to say I did well, marked my weight tracker sheet, and now I'm in a good starting place for when...

    Hey there! Quick post. And YES I'm sore from yesterday. Muscles all of the way down my back, chest, pecs, anywhere you press that I worked out last night. I made the mistake of resting my tea cup against my chest while holding it and looking at something on the computer. :) Today was Cardio...

    HIIT did not go well on Saturday. I had a lot of trouble getting the disc to work. First of all, it wouldn't even register in the PlayStation. I then decided to brave the DVD player (which we haven't been using because discs keeps freezing), and sure enough, it froze at 11:44. Then, I tried...

    Low Impact HIIT - I really appreciate the fact that it really IS low impact. I don't like to do a lot of jumping, and Cathe does a great job of getting the heart rate up there even without jumping. I joined a weekend FitBit challenge, but I'm thinking that with all of the working out I did...

    Liberty - Great, hope you enjoy Xtrain. I hear you on the cardio. I felt that way when I started ICE, but I quickly progressed. I was also a bit of the same when I came back from my 2-week vacation. Usually, I exercise over vacations but since we were doing a lot of walking, I skipped...

    Hi, Ranch Mom. She talks about the 100 rep challenge in the X-train book. It's not really part of the 90-day rotation. And, I'm not sure I would throw those in unless you really need more of a challenge from just the workouts alone. I did Bis and Tris today, too. I'm not sure how I felt...

    As suspected, walking was very hard today after yesterday's Cardio Leg Blast! But, I did Hard Strikes, premix 16. If that is only the very basic workout, I hate to see what the full workout looks like. I took a look at the chapters on the video, and it looks really hard! But, wow, what a...

    Hi, RanchMom: Well, I got through all rounds of CLB blast today, but I did pause the DVD a few times. At one point, she actually says "if you need a break, pause the DVD." So, I'm like, okay! The cathe.com website offers a subscription to a personalized nutrition program. You can track your...

    X-train Day 1 - Chest, Back, and Shoulders. I don't think I challenged myself enough. I wanted to go conservative because Cathe usually lifts way heavier than I can. And, I was struggling on some of the moves. But, I think I could have pushed more, and I did make a note on my workout sheet...

    Excited to start X-train on Monday. I've got my workout card all printed for Monday's workout to record what poundage I use. I downloaded the program into my calendar today, and it takes me right up to June 18th, which is perfect because we leave on the 19th for a week's vacation. I will NOT...

    Liberty - I haven't done Xtrain, yet (starting on Monday), but just looking at the rotation calendar, Xtrain workouts seem like they could be longer. But, it really depends on where you are in ICE. Level 1 of ICE is shorter, because you aren't doing extra cardio blasts or the extra body part...

    Carrie - I think you will really love ICE. I did.

    Man, it's hard getting back in the groove after taking 2 weeks off. I'm glad I decided to start slow this week before jumping into Xtrain. Today, I did X10 Fat Burning Circuit. Now, if only I can get an 8-hour night's sleep. I've been at <5 and 6.5 the last two nights since we got home.

    Finished up Levels 1 & 2 of ICE a few weeks ago. Back from a 2-week vacation. This week, I'm focusing on getting over jet lag, detoxing from the sugar and wine I enjoyed during vacation, and getting myself back in front of the TV/DVD player with some of the shorter X10 workouts. I'm starting...

    Windmills - What's the benefit?

    I find that is a very weird move, honestly. But, I think it mainly works the shoulder that is holding up the weight. It is just so awkward, though!

    Starting ICE 1/4/16

    Nearing the end of a nearly 2-week vacation. No formal exercising - just walking on most days. Dessert and lots of wine! Next week will involve detox[emoji3] and doing my 1 rep max tests. I'm excited to start X-train the following week. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
