    Beginner/Intermediate Check in 12/11 to 12/17

    I am still sore. I had the benefit of my co-worker giving me a massage twice today. When I got home, I did walk and kick by leslie. I also did tamilee webb's total stretch. If you don't have it, I highly recommend it. It's three sections of ten minutes for standing, chair and floor stretch...

    Beginner/Intermediate Check in 12/11 to 12/17

    ok, the elliptical didn't happen this evening. Why? my legs must have stiffened up throughout the day cause I don't remember feeling this tightness in my inner thigh this morning. But, I didn't rest on my laurels (sp?) either. I came home and popped in cool it off from slim series cause I...

    Beginner/Intermediate Check in 12/11 to 12/17

    Beth, Isn't nice to come across gems like this? It leaves you like "Well, when did they put this here". Sounds like you had fun with your hubby. I don't think the month of december should count at all. There are too many parties, get togethers, etc centered around food. And desserts are my...

    Hello, Let's see, results of my muscle endurance experience. You know how your arms sway when you walk, my biceps hurt from that motion. I went to push open a door and my chest hurts. So I have light, bordering on moderate doms in my upper bod today. I will be doing lots of stretching...

    My upper body is trembling as I type. I haven't exercised let alone do weight work, so I used 5lbs for everything except shoulders. I used 3lbs for those. Just when I thought I was going to pass out, she says "We're moving on". Huh!! Movin on to what? What is there left to do? Oh please...

    In about one hour I will do muscle endurance for the first time. I thought I was going to get kpc on videofitness, but she can't find it. Offered power hour instead as it was also on my list. Arggg!! Now I have to go buy it. Did anybody workout today? Rest day? Let's hear it :-)

    week of not doing much excerise

    Welcome to the club. Just when I resided that I'm going to get moving starting this weekend (today) my throat is starting to hurt. Which means I'm trying to get a cold. I am fighting it though and I did workout this morning.

    Beth, I will surely let you guys know of my videofitness trade experience. I saw that a couple of people were trying to trade imax3. You are really trying to incorporate the bosu. I thought about purchasing that once upon a time. I do need to purchase some risers for my step, then that will...

    Beginner/Intermediate Check-In 12/4-12/10/05

    i was a little stiff this morning after yesterday's snow removal session. The plow in my complex boxed the cars in. There were chunks of ice balls in front of everyones cars. By the time it was all over, the snow had hardened making it difficult to move. I did basic step with an add-on of...

    Hehe, I can match your embarrassing point. I can't do very many push ups-AT ALL. My upper body chest muscles must be the equivalent strength of a young child. I used to avoid working out again after being sore, but working out actually helps to get over the soreness. So, your so sore that...

    Hey Michelle, I just want to chime in that I was also in a rut. For some reason I just kept posting and reading about Kim, Beth and Belinda's workouts. Hey where's Belinda this week? Anyway, I kept reading and hoping to get the spark to get back into it. I did read "train like a woman"...

    Hello All, Today was a ride on the elliptical for 30 minutes with my favorite tunes on the mp3 player. I'm playing hookie from work today. Later on, I may tackle the upper body portion from basic step or since I have the rest of the day free I may do pure strength. I haven't done it yet so...

    Beginner/Intermediate Check-In 12/4-12/10/05

    Kim, Do you do your workouts all at once or break them up? For instance Basic Step in the am and MM lower body in the evening or do you just do it all at once. Hmmm, food for thought. I like how your cardio is not too intense, but your lower body workouts will give you a heart rate blast...

    Benefit of Double Qtr. Pounder w/Cheese

    Over 700 calories and over 40 grams of fat for the burger alone according to calorieking.com. It's funny how I won't eat this, but will not bat an eye with eating some dove dark chocolate.;-)

    just got DSL .....

    It is soooo much better than dial-up isn't it. The major phone company here in philly is offering it at an insanely low price now-$14.95 a month for a year. Of course, I can't get it at that price cause I already have it. I love it though.

    ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1930 - 1970's

    That was a fantastic read! It took me back to when we actually slept on the porch, with the door open, screen door unlocked and nobody robbed you. Oh my goodness, the gym thing, we had to wear these blue jumpsuits which had short legs. One part of the curriculum was gymnastics. We had to...
