I'm the same. The big one for me is step ups. I've always struggled with them but since developing hip tendonitis I can't do them at all. Even going up and down stairs in general I find I need to hold onto the handrail more often, especially if I'm already a bit fatigued. If I even slightly...

Thanks for posting this separately aqua girl.

Agree. Squats and lunges are important functional moves. They don't have to be weighted. I have never been able to do deep squats or lunges, but even keeping the movement shallow still works.

Me too. I struggle to fit in longer workouts.

These new workouts sound great! I haven't been able to do high impact workouts for over a year now. I am getting more and more niggles in my joints, and it is taking me longer to recover from high intensity workouts. I use the workout blender to create workouts that I can do. I'm looking...

Me too, and "shoulder friendly". I find even if I go to my elbows to save my wrists, my shoulders get sore.

Congrats!:)

Yes, once you add in the footwork and alternating the leading arm it's a game changer.

I put together a 42min workout using STS2.0 band work as well as some of the band work from Lite Body Weight & Bands. STS2.0 has lots of rest periods between sets which lengthens the workout. Also, I had to add a few breaks to give me time to change the door anchor position and change bands...

I can attest to this; I came out of University with a Master of Chemistry degree only to find most companies thought I was overqualified and underexperienced. It took me a while to get my first job. Be careful you don't fall into the trap of using education as a stalling tactic for finding a...

I have a spinlock barbell and need extra time to adjust the weights on that. Now that I am an OnDemand subscriber I tend to use the workout blender to add extra time where I need it to change weights. That way I can just let the workout play through without having to pause and restart.

It's not just the American delivery services. I have issues all the time here in New Zealand. Not so much with lost packages but with where the drivers leave the packages. I put on my packages to deliver to the front door. I get packages left under the letterbox at the top of my driveway...

I put together a blended workout including the warmup, cool down, and stretch from Step Fit, approx. 29 minutes. While I can do the macarena, putting it together with the footwork is no joke. Even though I wasn't using a step, just moving my feet at the same time kept putting me off...

Exactly what I was thinking of doing. :) I've been doing some cdorner basic step workouts on the floor and also blended a couple of low impact Cathe ones.

I haven't done this step workout before, but I do remember how to do the Macarena. Will have to check it out. Currently I can't do step workouts using the step, due to hip tendonitis, so I've been doing them on the floor. Even with just the platform, the up-down motion hurts after a few...

I've never done a "shovel-max" workout. It doesn't snow where I live. :)

So, did the barre workout again with my ball more deflated and it worked. :D Really felt the burn in my legs. Afterwards I did the chair stretch from Step Boss.

Thanks for the tip Trixoo. I will keep that in mind if the ball doesn't work. :)

Wow, scoring 100% on your final exam with everything you've been going through is one heck of an achievement! Congratulations! :)

No, I was wearing shorts, and the ball was on bare skin. It is summer here and too hot for leggings. I usually use a partially deflated ball for better grip but maybe it wasn't deflated enough. Also, my ball isn't a Cathe ball, it is one I bought locally. It may be made from different...
