    Hey ladies, Today I did Jamie McKagan's newest Cardio Kickboxing workout on YouTube. It was about 48 minutes of fun. This one had no complex moves or terribly fast moves so it was perfect for me and my current health state. Technically I took off 10 days from the gym, but apart from my...

    I know the song,Linda. Today's workout felt like a 'normal' workout for me to pick to do. Hopefully tomorrow the cardiologist will give me the ok to start lifting again. Here's a story from my hospital stay: the cardiology Nurse Practitioner who saw me first was a tall brusque (not sure of...

    Linda, when you need light and no impact Method Pilates Cardio workout fits the bill. I am not a yoga girl but occasional pilates is ok. Don't expect to burn a whole heap of calories doing it.

    Hi ladies, Today I have done 30 minutes of a Method Pilates workout and the Taebo Express Kicks workout which is 11 minutes. Probably will do floorwork later. I took it easy especially on the pilates since it has been over 2 years since I had done it. Blood work is coming back so so, so far.

    LOL! Siobhan, my "Workouts " were pretty lame for me. Not much movement or anything. I ended up needing to change my cardiology follow up (basically to see how my heart is doing and get clearance to actually exercise more to my normal), and it is now Wednesday!!! So hopefully on Wednesday I...

    Typing out what happened doesn't convey the emotions I was feeling. At home I was calmish until I did something that set my breathing off then I panicked and prayed that it would pass quickly. I realized very quickly that something was happening but I was by myself and needed to help myself...
