Chris - yes, 3 people died in one tornado yesterday. Thankfully, it wasn't near us this time. We live in what is called tornado alley. Everyone gets just a little bit tense when we have weather like yesterday. That really stinks about your calf and step. Wonder what's changed/happened differently?

Happy New Year! Sorry I've been MIA - was out of town for a wedding then just plain busy. I got in some running with no IT band pain at least. Did 4 miles Wed and 5.5 yesterday. Today should start Meso 3 for me. I think it's chest and back. I'll do that and abs when I stop being lazy :eek...

Last night I did indeed do 3 of the step combos and abs from LIC. Today I am planning on spin at lunch then we leave for a wedding that DH is in tomorrow. The place does have a gym so I am going to try to get in some cardio tomorrow. Nora - hope you're doing ok. Belinda - enjoy...

First off - I hope everyone had a great Christmas!! Today I did the upper body premix from STS Total Body. It's supposed to be my rest week, but I've been itching to try this one out. And 65% of 1RM with those reps and her speed???? CRAZY Flat Bench Press 16 - 25's (dumbbells) Chest Flys...

Merry Christmas Eve Ladies! Yesterday I did shoulders/triceps and also ran 3.5 miles. Today I did legs and MMA boxing. I hope everyone has a great Christmas! Belinda - enjoy your workout! Debbie - looks like another good weight session. Roxie - safe travels!

Well my boss is letting me leave at 12:30!!! It's too late to hit the noon spin class unfortunately and I won't want to wait around until 5:30 to get in my workout. So heading over to the gym to do back and probably 30 minutes on the elliptical.

Debbie - I'm in Arkansas. It's definitely about 20 degrees above normal mind you. Today we're back to 51 I think is the high. I heard that TX was in the 80's.

Well yesterday I ended up running 2 fast miles rather than doing weights. It was 73 degrees! How could I pass that up? So today will likely be back at the gym and the elliptical or spin class depending on what time I get off work (we'll likely get out early). I will do the shoulder/triceps...

I know what you mean about feeling like you need to do more than just 30 minutes. Maybe do this then do the low HIIT from Intensity. That'd give you a solid 40 minutes.

As in 90 run all out and 30 rest or the reverse? If you want a kick-ass workout - try 30/30 <insert evil laugh> Warm up for 5-10 minutes. Do 30/30 for 6-8 rounds then cool down. KILLER! I suggest doing on a 1.5 or 2 incline as well (not to make it harder, but from what I've read, this is more...

Jessica - so sorry you're having a crappy morning. Just think, you're almost outta there! I highly recommend doing intervals on the dreadmill. I think you'll find that will help some. It'll help increase speed too ;-)

You might all need to sit down for this one - but I actually got my lazy butt up and did one of the SB premixes this morning! It's the first time I've done step in a month or more. I actually had a lot of fun, even at 5:20 am! :eek: I am planning on shoulders and triceps either during lunch...

Reporting on lunch workout: Biceps from M2D24. Dropsets starting at 80% of 1RM DB curls - 10,10,TF - 17.5's, 16.5's, 15's and TF was 10 Incline curls on ball - 3x10 - 17's, 16's, 15's Concentration curls - 10,10,TF - 17.5's, 16.5's, 15's and TF was 8 I think I'll do the MMA Boxing after...

Jessica - have fun tonight. I need to get to wrapping too! Knee...achy. It's not helping sitting at my desk either. Going to have to be very conscious about getting up and moving around. I think the boxing may be the better cardio choice for me since it's not very leg intensive.

Today I think I'll do biceps at lunch then either Boxing or the elliptical after work. Not 100% sure yet. Also need to do abs. Belinda - good job with your workout! Hope you have a great day. Roxie - hope you have a good workout tonight.

TGIF!! Ok, last night I ended up doing legs. I went with a fairly basic workout doing 1 giant set 3x10 (calves done 3x15) with lower weights and then some floor work and more IT band stretching and rolling. So far so good. I have slight DOMS, but no IT band pain at all. I am so excited I can't...

Chris - I tried telling DH about them, you should have seen the look on his face - like "do you seriously need one more workout dvd??!!" Sigh. How are the calves by the way? Still tight?

DH and I went for a run at lunch. It's sunny, 50 degrees & super windy. So the wind part sucked but the run itself was great. We did 1.9 miles in 14:20. Super fast, but it felt really good. I rolled my IT band as soon as I got back to the house and so far so good! I was thinking of leg...

Debbie - I have no doubt you had an awesome workout. I hope you worked those legs a bit extra for me! :D

I've only worked legs once in almost 3 weeks though :( I feel like I should at least do some leg work??? And timing is all messed up - warmer today then cold again over the weekend (when I know I should wait and run). Freaking stupid cold weather. I just can't stand doing boxing or elliptical...
