Catherine - That looks like a great rack. Yes, I've seen the blog and am real excited about the ab routines. Just what I love, yoga, pilates, bodyweight and ball abs. Don't like weighted abs as much but those even look good too. All the instructors are really working with that medicine ball...

Gin - Actually I use dbbls for PUB but I don't have 12 or 15#ers and it gets annoying using extra dbbls in my hand or constantly changing the plates. I really would love to go on the Road Trip. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how things are once things are posted. I guess I can...

Hi Again! Deanie - Can't wait to see a picture! Thanks for the PUB shoulder exs. If I do MIS, it will probably be on Thurs. I see you guys are supposed to do it on Fri, but that's my short day. Sorry you won't be able to make the road trip. I don't know if I will either. Finances...

Hi Girls! Sorry not to join you yet but I realized I had one more week of my rotation since the first week of last month was a recovery week for me from the X. I was disappointed Cathe didn't have the new rotation posted yet and you know I'm not a Pyramid girl. So I decided to do another...

Good Morning Chinners! Today I did Muscle Max. It's been awhile since I did this one. It's probably my favorite total body workout. I changed things up a little though. Instead of dbbl squats, I did alternating side lunges and for regular squats, I did Good Mornings. (Catherine - Thanks...

Catherine - Thanks for the advice. I have really flexible hamstrings and I use 40-45# for regular deadlifts but I'll try what you suggested first to be on the safe side. Marcy

Joanne - I'm also sorry you won't be able to check in more. Good luck with your chinnin'! Catherine - Thanks for the explanations. I love deadlifts. Now I have to try the Good Mornings. I'm going to try between 40-50# and see how it goes. Great work on the chins! Marcy

Good Afternoon Girls! Today I did the Sculpt Section of Lisa Nunziella's Dance to Enhance. It felt kind of like a jazz class, music a little bit fast for a sculpt workout but got my HR up a little bit. Basically it was step touches and slides, plies, plank work (prone and side), glute...

Hi Gang! Catherine - I didn't want you to think you were talking to yourself. Haven't done many chins this week. Yesterday was All Body Attack by Sharon Twombley - really good circuit workout. I'm still feeling it today. Today was a short workout from Lisa Nunziella - Dance to Enhance...

I also had great results with Upper Body Bliss. Marcy

I thought it was a lot of $$ too but it really has a lot of information. It's over 300 pages and I have mine in a looseleaf binder. I found it to be very helpful. He writes in a very straightforward manner that's easy to understand. There's a load of information. Lots about diet - what to...

What a sweet mom you are! Do you want to try any hi/lo? Like maybe Amy Bento's Hi/Lo Xtreme? Christi Taylor also has some good hi/lo. Maybe some dance workouts? I saw a clip yesterday of the Firm's Cardio Dance Fusion. It actually looked pretty good. I also have a VHS of Rob Glick's...

Gin - Yes, dancing is about 2 1/2-3 3 hours and I do 1 more hour of either kickboxing, step, hi/lo, dance. I think 4 hours should be fine. Maybe do a little more low impact. I know everyone says HIIT but I find low impact burns the fat off me better. Also, try some kind of cardio you haven't...

I just typed a long post that I accidentally deleted. I do that every so often and have no idea what key I press that does it. Anyway, Today was Sharon Twombly's All Body Attack - a circuit workout. The great thing was I only had to use one set of dumbbells - 8#. It was kind of like Drill...

Gin - 4 hours of cardio sounds pretty good. With my dancing, I average about the same. But lately I think I should be doing more. I might stick with endurance workouts for awhile. I like highlights. I think they look more natural. I've never had lowlights but maybe they might tone down...

Hopefully, this is what you're looking for: http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=7&topic_id=7936&mesg_id=7936&page=4 Marcy

Hi Again! Gin - How much cardio are you doing per week now? Maybe you might want to try 3 days of total body and 3 days of cardio? Just a thought to try and change things up plus eating super clean. Are you getting a new style or just a trim? What color are you getting? Marcy

Good Afternoon Chinsters! Sorry I've been MIA. I've been trying to pack. I pretty much have all my workout DVDs packed except for about 3 shelves on the DVD rack that I'm still using (and that's a lot of DVDs - about 200). I've still been going through clothes and giving them away. It...

Forgot to mention I did 2 chinups in a row this morning. Yesterday I did 3 chins in a row and 1 wide front pullup. Hi Deanie - I think you posted while I was typing. Have fun at the zoo! Marcy

Good Afternoon Girls! This morning I did Tilak Pyle's Altar of the Heart. I really love this practice. I didn't do headstand very well during the practice but I decided to try it again after it was over and I realized I had to move my hands in closer. Once I did that, things seemed to work...
