Hi everyone, It's Wednesday morning and I just got through with my hi/lo workout, CIA 9807 w/ the Anderson sisters. Pretty fun workout considering it's mostly low impact and about 6 years old. Yesterday was Pyramid Lower Body. Some of you might remember how I was complaining that my...

I really like Step Works as well. It's like a hidden Cathe gem. For me, I rank it right behind Rhythmic Step for fun factor and great choreography.

It's Monday morning everyone! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Another fabulous weekend in my neck of the woods so I have no complaints. Had a pretty decent workout week last week. Here's what it wound up looking like. M- Kari Anderson Hot Steps Tu- 40 minutes weight work at hotel...

Lord knows that I have more than one guilty pleasure. So I'll just post a brief list. 1) Haagen Dazs ice cream. So what if it has double the fat content and calories of other ice creams out there. It's soooo creamy!!! 2) Red wine. I love to drink red wine. I love to buy red wine. I...

Happy Wednesday everyone, I did manage to get about 40 minutes of weights at the hotel fitness center yesterday morning. I really like when I can go away from home (and all my fitness videos and toys) and keep to my workout plans. Today was CIA 2202 All Out Hi/Lo with Franny. This is...

Happy Monday everyone, Hope that everyone had a terrific weekend. Mine was very relaxing which is exactly what I was looking for. I finished my week of alternating Pure Strength series w/ cardio last week. Even managed to add in two yoga workouts which felt wonderful. Here's what I have...

Hi everyone, The back is feeling so much better so today I did PS Legs and abs. WOW!!! Haven't done this workout in a while and boy, did I feel it. Felt great though. Liz- I swear sometimes my brain is out to lunch. You are right, I meant to say Hollands Best. In fact, maybe I'll go...

When it comes to strength training, Cathe is pretty much in a class by herself. I have Slim Series and like throwing those DVD's into the mix. They are VERY different from Cathe workouts, which makes a nice change of pace, but are not very advanced, IMO (although I have gotten some wicked DOMS...

Good morning everyone, Pulled a muscle in my back yesterday that is a lot better today. However, since I still 'feel' it I switched my schedule around and did Candlelight Yoga today instead of PS Legs and Shoulders. Hopefully my back will be all better tomorrrow so I can pick up with PS...

Hello and welcome! Wanted to answer some of your questions regarding equipment. Fanny Lifter/High Step- While it is perfectly safe to do the weight moves with your existing fanny lifter, I would STRONGLY caution you not to use the fanny lifter for the cardio portions of the workout. It is...

Hi again everyone, Thanks for all the encouraging words about not taking my disappointment with my Bootcamp workout too much to heart. I've been having a really good week thus far so I may have been having an off day. For the past couple of days I've done... Tuesday- PS Chest, Shoulders...

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone had a great weekend. It was very hot in my neck of the woods so I laid low to beat out the heat. I did do lots of cleaning, some laundry, and some gardening before it got too hot, though. I was very discouraged on Saturday when I just about died doing...

Hi Liz, Yes, I'm dutch from my mother's side (dad's side is german). Where do you get the imported Dutch food? I'd lop off my right arm if I could get a hold of some real Dutch vla (and drop, and chocolates, and the list could go on and on). Nice to meet a fellow dutchie!

It's so nice to see people checking in after being away for a bit! Big hi's to Pinky and Vilma and hope to see everyone else soon. Today was Christi's Totally Hot Cardio. Had so much fun! Added on the bonus abs from the DVD and will try to get in a short yoga practice later on this...

I'm a huge Christi Taylor fan. In fact, I did Totally Hot Cardio this morning. Her workouts are more like dance parties or fun fests than workouts. Her music is always fun, the moves are innovative and interesting, and her cueing is amazing! I almost every Christi Taylor workout put out...

Two days ago was my one year fitness anniversary. The first day that I made a serious commitment not only to exercise, but to my health, my mental well being and to putting me first. The first half of last year were some of the darkest days of my life. Everything had gone wrong and I felt...

Hi everyone, Judy, great idea to have the check in be for the week instead of daily. With the summer in full swing I imagine it's hard for everyone to check in on a daily basis (me included :P ). For the past few days here have been my workouts. Monday- 45 minute walk with my sister's...

Cindee, Congratulations on such a wonderful achievement. I know how hard you had been training for the event and I imagine it is so rewarding for you to have had such a successful ride. I also love hearing how high your spirits are after the ride. Awesome!!!!! You're a superstar!!!!

Hi everyone, Today I did MIS. WOW!!!! I was hurting badly during some parts and managed to make it all the way to the end so I'm pretty pleased with myself. I'm sure I'll feel this one tomorrow. Cindee- Best wishes for a wonderful race! You'll do awesome! Be sure to post about the...

Good Morning everyone, Hope everyone has been having a good week. Yesterday was a long and hectic day. I worked out (did Muscle Endurance) and then started a full day of appointments and errands and finished with my summer school class in the evening. It ran REALLY long and I didn't get...
