Good afternoon everyone, My husband's surgery went well today. The hardest part for me was getting him out of the car and into the house. He was still very groggy so I sat him on the couch in the family room and made him as comfortable as possible. There was no way I could get him upstairs...

Good morning, I did Disc #2 this morning. I'm going to need to go up on some of the weights. I have been conservative on the weights for this week so I don't strain any muscles. Jann - Hope your minor surgery goes well. Doesn't sound like fun. Magnolia - Welcome home! Tomorrow my...

I forgot to mention....I am using my 1RMS. Helps take out the guess work on what weight to use.

Hi Everyone, I did the HiiT 40/20 this morning. That was an intense workout and easy to modify when needed. I am having problems with my allergies so I had a combination of allergy/exercise induced asthma during the workout which was really annoying....constant coughing. Magnolia -...

Good morning everyone! I did STS Disc 1 this morning and enjoyed the workout. I didn't feel rushed since I planed everything out and it does help that I did this last year. I woke up energized, even though I'm not sleeping well. I seem to go through cycles where I sleep well one month and...

Happy New Year to everyone! It will be nice doing the STS/Shock rotation with friends.

Good morning everyone! Today is a rest day for me. I'm starting STS/Shock tomorrow too. Looking forward to it.

I did Athletic Step this morning. Can't say I like it at this moment...too much jumping and I had a really tough time with some of the tricky turn moves. I will always need to do modifications with this one to elminate the jumping. I hoping that Cathe will post the STS Strenth/Cardio...

I did MMA: Kickbox. It was fun!

Hi everyone, This morning I did MMA: Kickbox. It was nice not having to modify the movements much. I like the music too. Jann - I know what you mean by being overwhelmed by too many new workout DVDs...to many choices! Well...I'm going to make a list for the grocery store, get the...

I've had migraine headaches for most my life but I don't get as many now that I'm in my 50s. I take Amerge when I get a migraine and it pretty much kills the headache. When I was younger I use to get the classic aura that would distort my vision preceding the headache. Now I get slightly...

Good morning, I did a segment of Core Max and a segment of Stretch Max this morning. I love to stretch! This morning started off with freezing rain....I wish the winter weather would go away. We are going to having a very quiet day....will most likely be asleep before the arrival of the...

Good morning everyone, I did Low Max this morning and really enjoyed myself (this is a new DVD for me). I'm starting to remember the step lingo so I don't have to think as hard, plus my new step helps a lot. Maybe one day the "step" movements will be muscle memory for me like regular dance...

It's been an adjustment for me. I sometimes miss the people interactions, but I don't miss the commute or the stress from the job. It's nice to have control over my time....I can do anything I want on a whim. I'm not controlled by the clock.

Hi everyone, I'm back from my trip visiting my daughter and her husband. Had a good visit. It's time to get back into a routine....so this morning I did Muscle Max. I'm back to logging my food intake on Weight Watcher online. I need to lose the 5 pounds I gained over the holidays and...

I'm 5'1" and have a terrible time finding clothes in department stores. One department store stopped selling petite dresses. I also wear size 5 shoes and size 3.5 rings. I'm too curvy to wear boy clothes and specialty stores like Talbots can be expensive and the quality is not always good...

Merry Christmas everyone, My husband gave me the originial health club step so I had to try it out this morning. I did the 31 min premix of Imax 3. The step was solid...no flipping over if I accidently stepped on the edge. Still need to learn a lot of the step choreography which I know...

Good morning everyone, I had a horrible headache last night (migraine) and woke up feeling slightly nauseous this morning. I'm hoping the tums will help. I did MMA: Fusion this morning. Had to do major modification for combo #2...removed all jumping and modified getting out of a roll...

Good Morning, I did the Shock Cardio Step Moves. I am step challenged so I had difficulty with the choreography. I was using the FIRMs Transformer step and found that I kept flipping it and because I was concerned I might trip and hurt myself I couldn't focus on the steps. I eventually...

Good morning everyone, Today I did Shock Cardio - Circuit Blast. I needed to modify quite a bit....I don't do a lot of jumping to protect my knees and calfs...but when I do jump I always have one foot on the ground (13 years ago I tore my soleus muscle in a ballet rehearsal and it took me a...
