    40s+++ August adventures

    Hi all. Sorry to be absent. Between the basement work, visiting my parents, getting the kids ready for school, and just being tired, I have not had a chance to write. I haven't even lurked. I did a booty and ab workout yesterday and HR UB today. Still with the light weights. Waves to...

    40s+++ August adventures

    Hi all. Sorry I have been absent. We had work done in the basement and had to disconnect the wi-fi. DH and I were okay but the kids were going crazy at first. I actually wanted to leave it off for a few days but DH caved. Anyway, I did HR UB, lower body blast, bike riding, and I cannot...

    40s+ Enjoying the sun in July

    Hi all. Quick check-in, I missed the past two days. I did yoga relax and HR UB. Today is a rest day. Well, sort of rest day - I am working on the closets and piles of paper. So much for resting... Murphy

    40s+ Enjoying the sun in July

    I did Great Glutes today with the bonus chair and firewalker band. The bonus section really kicked my butt. WTH? I did all of the dvd (so proud of myself) except the second part of the floor work. Just could not do the fire hydrants or whatever they were called. I had to move slower than...

    40s+ Enjoying the sun in July

    Did XTrain chest, shoulders, and back. I skipped the tubing. I also added on the standing legs for RWH. Lisa - good job on getting legs done after that walk. Glad you got the skunk smell out. Ew. :-) Mary - I hope you get a nice breeze today - and not melting make-up. ;-) Murphy

    40s+ Enjoying the sun in July

    Hi all. Did Lean legs and abs. I skipped the compound legs portion and focused on the barre, chair and firewalker portion. I modified the abs a bit; made it work for me. Hi-fives to all. Murphy

    40s+ Enjoying the sun in July

    Hi all. I did XTrain bi's and tri's today. I was able to complete it except for the crazy dips thing at the end - too much up and down movement. I had to use super light weight but it is all part of the process. Lisa - LOL, you are right, even with our modifications we are probable more...

    40s+ Enjoying the sun in July

    Hi all. I must say, it feel good to be getting some exercise in. Today was 20+ minutes of abs. I can't move my head too fast so there were modifications and mostly lower ab focus (which is where I need it most). Thank you again for the well wishes and prayers and please keep them coming...

    40s+ Enjoying the sun in July

    Hi all. Thank you so much for the prayers, well wishes, hugs, and good vibes. I am feeling better and looking better (the swelling has gone down and the blood in my eye has mostly absorbed). The stitches have not absorbed fully but they are looking better. I start radiation in August, no...

    40s+ Enjoying the sun in July

    Hi all. I just wanted to stop by for a second and update everyone on my absence. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It has been removed and I am on the mend. I had been having headaches and etc and one day could not take it anymore and went to the ER and the rest is history. I see more...

    40+ May Days

    I cannot believe I have not made it here once all month! ??? Yesterday was an X10 premix and today was all about the core and stretching. Lisa - when you wrote that you did sjp, I thought Sarah Jessica Parker. :-0 I was confused for a minute. Waves to all! Murphy

    40's+ April

    Hi all. I thought I checked in yesterday but I guess not. Yesterday was TBT LB and today was RWH plyo hiit 1. My foot hurt a lot so I could not do too much. It really was a waste of my time, I tried to modify then got discouraged then tried to bounce back. It was ugly. I think I will have...

    40's+ April

    Did XTrain bi's and tri's short premix w/ abs. It went faster than I remembered. ??? Lisa - I hope you feel better soon. I am getting there, but it feels like forever. Ugh. Waves to all. Murphy

    40's+ April

    Hi all. I cannot believe I have not been here all month. Well, I guess it makes sense. I was sick for a while and then had computer problems a-fricking-gain and now am sick again. Yeah me. At least this time, assuming all goes well, it is not as bad as last time. It is mostly in my head...

    40s+ Marvellous March

    Hi all. Did leaner legs and abs today. I am wiped out; did not expect that. ??? I went a little heavier with the weight so that is probably why. Roxie - yes, that is what my friend was telling me (about KCM filming at Cathe's studio). Murphy

    40s+ Marvellous March

    Hi all. Sorry for the hit and miss postings (well, more miss than hit). I plan to change that and post more. Anyway, I did AOLIH today w/ shoulders and abs added. I went real light on the weight for the shoulders (they are acting up again). I have a full day so I am off and running. Oh, I...

    40s+ Marvellous March

    Hi all. So sorry to not have been around. I finally got my computer back and then we had issues in the basement where I work out. I thought about posting at the office, but you know that the boss only comes around during those two minutes you are on the computer! I hope to be back soon...

    40s+ Marvellous March

    Did RWH, LI1 w/ abs. I increased the poundage a bit. I had to skip some things but overall, was able to follow all of it. I was sooo tired and really did not want to do it, and I certainly did not want to 1/2-do it once I was up and moving. I tried t stay in the game. Mary - glad to hear...

    40s+ Marvellous March

    Hi all. Yesterday I was about to exercise and one of the kids wanted to "help". It was my fault for getting up late. So, I did 90 minutes just dance instead. They kids sat on the couch and watched. I really think I am the only one who uses it. The day before, Friday, I was on the bike for...
