Just a quick check-in to say that I did Kelly Coffey Meyer's Kickboxing DVD today. I will do Slow and Heavy biceps and triceps tomorrow, then take off for the next couple of days. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Oh my, I have done a horrible job of checking in lately. :eek: On Sunday, I did Slow and Heavy chest and back. Monday was STS Plyo Legs. Today I did Slow and Heavy shoulders followed by Xtrain heavy bag tabata. This rotation has been disappointing for me, because the cardio is lacking. Even...

Yesterday, I did Slow and Heavy biceps and triceps. I really liked the wrist curls and reverse curls. I think I will include those with my regular weight training, especially because my forearms get so fried with STS. No workout today, the extra sleep felt more important. ;) Kristin - Great...

Today I did Slow and Heavy shoulders, followed by the Xtrain heavy bag bonus. Felt awesome while I was doing it, but I'm sure I will be sore tomorrow! Deb - Paypal gives you options. You can link directly to your bank account, but....no, thanks! I agree that is an uncomfortable option. You...

On Sunday, I did Slow and Heavy chest and back. I had to lift somewhat lighter than usual because of the slow lifts, but it was very challenging and I definitely felt it! There are breaks between sets, but not nearly as long as Meso 3. Plus, I really like the core work and stability exercises...

On Wednesday I did STS Meso 3, week 1 shoulders, biceps and triceps. Not a fan of this Meso cycle. Normally, I wouldn't have done all three weight sessions in a row, but those were the only three days I could exercise this week. :( Somewhere on the forum, I seem to remember someone...

Belinda - thank you for your kind message! Today I did Meso 3 week 1, Plyo Legs. This was not easy, but easier than I remembered. It didn't seem as challenging as Cardio Leg Blast or Ripped with Hiit Legs. Not that I'm complaining...:p

Thanks, Deb, for welcoming me back. :) Today I did STS Meso 3 Disc 1, chest and back. Ouch. I've been having some right side rotator cuff issues because of my job (massage therapist), so I might have to be cautious with my weight selection. I don't mind the long breaks between sets. I spent...

Hi ladies! :) I know it has been awhile, but would you mind very much if I join your check-in again? I was doing very well on my own over the summer, but the cooler weather is leaving me more sluggish and wanting comfort food, and the holidays are on the horizon. I find myself needing more...

Hi, elsie3. I posted a reply over on the Questions and Comments area. I think the cardio is intense enough if you include the blizzard blasts. But, even without the blizzard blasts, it is nice to have lower intensity options for days when you are not feeling up to par, or for when you need a...

Yes, you are missing out! :) I think intermediate is a relative term, but I find ICE to be firmly intermediate. Certainly not beginner. You are right, it is easy to increase the weights if necessary. With the cardio, if you are looking for a challenge you will probably need to include the...

The article was incredibly inspiring to me yet I, too, found the comments to be disheartening. Wrinkles?? Seriously??? She looks AMAZING!!! Honestly, I think people who make those kind of comments are the very ones who never get off the couch themselves and know nothing about fitness.

I don't have personal experience with thyroidectomy, but I will say that, YES, I have had results with eating more and losing weight. Several years ago, I was following the Weight Watchers program and lifting weights with Cathe, but I had hit a plateau. My WW coach kept telling me to cut...

Wow, so many early morning exercisers! If I had to work out any earlier than 8am, I think I would cry! :eek: I voted for late morning since that is my preference, but it doesn't always work out that way. My job is appointment based, so I have to work out around my appointments. Sometimes I...

Hi, girls! Thank you so much for all of your kind replies to my previous post. If you really don't mind my inconsistent and haphazard posts, then I would love to drop in whenever I am able. :) Well, STS is the program that has finally budged the scale. Three weeks in, and seven pounds down!!!

Yes, there IS a lot of plyo, but the strength training workouts are SO worth it! I usually combine the RWH weight training with the RWH LIIT workouts, then substitute kickboxing for the HIIT workouts. For the lower and upper body RWH circuits, I will do the strength segments but jump on my...

Wow, I am so glad to hear I am not the only one dealing with issues like this. When I was in my thirties, I used to do Cathe workouts six mornings a week, and martial arts classes four evenings a week. How was I ever able to do that??? Now, at age 45, I often plan a workout rotation that I...

Hi, ladies! I think this will probably be my last post here on this check-in. My purpose in joining was to become more accountable and get back on the exercise wagon, and I feel that I have accomplished that. I am now embarking on an STS pyramid, which I am very excited about!! I am not good...

KPC is always my first choice. I simply love it! Even when I want to cave in and choose a different kick box workout, I always seem to gravitate to KPC. It is the perfect blend of cardio with upper body toning (punching combos), lower body toning (kick combos), and core work. IMHO, none of...

Hello :) Crunched for time today, so I did PS chest, shoulders, and triceps, but no cardio. With DS coming home from university tomorrow for the Easter weekend and DH returning from his business trip, I probably won't have time to post over the next few days. My plan is to do a cardio day...
