Woo-hoo! I just worked out with no pain! I did a Jessica Smith workout: Dance Party! It was fun and silly, not too challenging, but my heart rate got up and I broke a sweat, which is all I was hoping for today. Tomorrow I'll try some weights. Heartymax- Thanks for your thoughts (so far) on...

Hello ladies. No workout since my disastrous one the other day. I had an adjustment yesterday and this morning. Everything feels very touchy, but I'm having much less pain. Walking and standing are more comfortable than sitting, and I can bend forward again, so that's good. My exercise...

Hi ladies. I'm feeling a bit discouraged today. My chiropractor suggested I try working out to see how my back/hip does. I chose a gentle Jessica Smith walking workout on YouTube. It felt great at first, but twenty minutes in she started doing a backwards alternating tap, almost like a mini rear...

Good morning. No workouts over the weekend. I had an adjustment on Saturday and have another tonight. My chiropractor recommended adjustments once or twice a week for a few weeks. I hope this helps - not just the pain I'm having now - but the general "touchiness" of my lower back and neck. I...

Good morning and Happy Friday. I didn't work out yesterday and might not today either. My back is feeling a tiny bit better every day and I really don't want to mess with it. I might do a walking workout, but that's it. Brenda- Way to go! That's how to talk to a client! I'm so happy she...

Good morning! I went to the chiropractor yesterday, got an adjustment, and feel slightly better. I did find out from the x-rays that my lower back/tailbone area curves in a LOT more than the average person's. That explains so much! Including why ab exercises where you're supposed to keep your...

Good morning. No workout for me today. My back/SI joint, whatever it is, is really hurting today. It was a bit achier than normal all day yesterday, and when I woke up... yeow! Anyway, I think I may have to see my parents' chiropractor. I got DS all signed up for swimming lessons yesterday...

Hello! Boy, did I wake up sore today! I never would have thought that just three sets of heavy squats could make my legs and butt so sore! My upper body is good and DOMS-y too :D Anyway, I was so sore, I didn't think I'd be able to handle HIIT or Tabata, so I did an intermediate kickboxing...

Good morning! Saturday was Muscle Max, Sunday was a rest day. This morning I did a full-body, dumbbell-only paper routine I found online. It's a three-day-per-week routine, and it's very straightforward, which is what I've been looking for. I'm going to use this instead of videos for strength...

I had Supercuts on the schedule for today, but I was feeling kind of sore and wasn't really up for it, but I didn't want to skip, either. So, I decided to try one of the workouts on the Jessica Smith channel on YouTube. I did the "2-in-1 Toning" workout. It was really great! I broke a sweat...

Tabatacise today... just 1-3. I'm drinking a protein smoothie right now. It's been a couple years, and I forgot how filling that protein powder is! Heartymax- Ha! Don't worry, I won't tell :D Music lessons are great for kids. Almost no one regrets learning to play an instrument. I want to...

Hello! I just finished 4DS Legs and Burn Sets Bis and Tris. Heartymax- Yup, DWP is my favorite. 40/20 slays me. I have to cheat on that one quite a bit. Yeah for the new step! I have the "old" blue high step topper and the new black/gray full size bench I have is so much softer. I hope you...

Good morning. I just finished HIIT DWP, my favorite one on that disc. I love the 80's music :) Yesterday I did what I said I was going to do, plus I added a few push-ups and a one-minute plank later, and took a longish walk with the dog. I found a calorie target that seems like a good...

Good morning! Friday I did the second half of Cardio Leg Blast and the Bis and Tris premix from 4Ds. Saturday I finally worked up the courage to do HIIT 40/20. Wow. Tough stuff. There were a few intervals that were more like 20/40 :p Yesterday was lots and lots of yardwork. I did a little...

Good morning! I'm enjoying the rain and the quiet of no construction today. Not only is our alley being worked on, but one of our neighbors had a tree taken down yesterday. Talk about loud. I could hardly hear myself think. I plan to do half of Cardio Leg Blast and the back and biceps premix...

Good afternoon, ladies. Today I did the chest, triceps,and shoulders premix from 4DS. DS and I went out to lunch with my mom, aunt and grandma for my grandma's 89th birthday. Susan- I cry at those things every time, too. Karen- I'm blown away by how great the foam rolling feels. It...

Good morning. Yesterday I changed my mind at the last second and did the upper body circuit premix from Low Impact Circuit. I skipped the last cardio segment to save time. I just finished Tabatacise 1-3. My back is still touchy, but housework seems to bother it more than exercise. Still...

Good morning. No workouts since Thursday :o But, my back is much better after lots of foam rolling and stretching. I plan on doing Cardio and Weights today. Right now I'm eating a yummy late breakfast in my breezy dining room. Life is good :D Had a lovely Mother's Day weekend. DH really spoiled...

Good morning ladies. No workout for me today, I think. I've been icing my back and it feels different.... but not really better. Not sure how else to describe it. If it's not feeling better by next week, I'll look into seeing a doctor. I'm looking forward to the weekend. Bryan spoils me on...

Hello! This morning I did Cardio Supersets and a segment of Stretch Max. The stretch felt fantastic while I was doing it, but now, unfortunately, my back hurts more than it did yesterday :( I've done a little self-diagnosis, and I believe it's actually my SI joint that's giving me trouble...
