    Hello Ladies, Jen, I'm with you TGIF. This was a long tough week. Glad the weekend is here now :) Christine, I don't remember a whole lot about Total Body Blast, other than that it wasn't one of my favorites, lol. I think I found some of the moves a little awkward to do with a big...

    Hi Ladies, Posting before the basketball game starts. I've never been into BB until just his past month. They are fun to watch. Christine, T.J. workouts were a little bit of a learning curve for me at first, but once you get them, you will find them easy to follow. My daughter is...

    Alpha Omega Check-In (Mon, 6/8- Sun, 6/14)

    Hello Christine & Jen, This has been a late day for me. I didn't get home until late, and was tempted to blow off my workout, but ended up doing "Muscle Max", Upper body portion. Still can't do push-ups or tricep dips, so I skipped those exercises, but my shoulder is improving...

    Hello Christine & Jen, We finally got a little break from all the rain. Christine, that was some thunder last night into this morning. It's been soo long since I've checked out Turbo Sculpt, that I don't really remember much about it. I really like the 20 minute workout. I have used it...

    Hello Christine & Jen, Work was ok, but I'm feeling stressed with all of my upcoming renewals before vacation. I have one renewal that's going to be a little complicated, and the Account Exec. won't let me do anything on it in preparation because we have competition on the account this year...

    Hello Christine & Jen, Happy Sunday :) I'm feeling a little sore form all of my gardening yesterday, but I'm glad I got things done. Of course my son and daughter complained that I plant the same flowers every year. Which is not quite true. I did pink, red & white Begonias this year...

    Hello Ladies, Glad to see you both posting today. I have been soo busy today. No workout for me today, just busy with housework, and gardening. I stepped outside today and took one look at my front garden, and nearly screamed in horror. I have been unable to do anything in the garden...

    Hello Christine & Jen, Christine, how many more workouts left in your rotation to complete SI6? I'm sure you will do the dance of joy when you're done, lol. Thanks for asking about my shoulder :) I just figured I'd post the question here, since soo many people weight train, and I'm...

    Hello Ladies, Christine, I hear ya on the couch potato idea. I had one of those days again where I just felt drained, but at the same time, due to the stress at work, I just couldn't wait to get out of there and get home to my workout. I really needed to burn off some of that stress. I...

    Hi Jen & Christine, Today was another busy day, but I managed to take a kickboxing class at the gym. It was a fun class. I tried to go easy on my shoulder & arm, and managed to get a pretty good workout in. The last 15 minutes of the class, the instructor had us use 5 lb. dumbells for some...

    rotator cuff injury

    TG, I believe I may have injured my rotator cuff to during STS, for me it happened the last week into Meso 3. I was really enjoying the workouts, but I felt like my shoulders really took a beating. Maybe I just have weak shoulder muscles. I would definitely rest up. Shoulder pain is...

    Hello Christine & Jen, Work was ok today. It's going to be a bit hectic for me this month, trying to get things taken care of before I go on vacation exactly one month from today :) Christine, thanks for the workout suggestions. I'm not crazy about hi-low workouts either. I don't know...

    KPC vs Kempo

    I've only done Kempo a few times, and it's the kind of workout I will reach for when I feel like a little kickboxing but don't want to kill myself. I like the simplicity of Kempo X, but I agree, the cardio effect is very light. I do feel worked out though. Definitely no where near KPC's...

    Hello Ladies, This has been a really busy weekend for me. Friday's dress rehearsal was soo long. Saturday morning, I was able to get a pedicure, then a good cardio workout in. I did one of my old Tae-bo Live workouts. I paused when I needed to, and modified what didn't feel right for me...

    Hello Ladies, It's a beautiful day today. I figured I'd take a minute to post while my daughter is getting dressed for her dance rehearsal. So far I've enjoyed my day off. I caught the Transformers movie with my friend. Definitely not my kind of movie. Lots of action, but I have no...

    ADVICE NEEDED ABOUT SHOULDER ISSUES

    Hello, I need advice from those of you who have experienced shoulder issues. I was in my last week of STS - Meso 3, when I developed extreme shoulder pain. I could barely dress myself, or wash/comb my hair. The last time I did STS was on Friday, and the pain started on Sunday. I thought...

    Hello Christine & Jen, Today was a little better. I was able to do 40 minutes on the elliptical, and 15 minutes on the TM. It's better than nothing, but I don't know how much longer I can do this kind of cardio. I find it soo boring, lol. Work was busy today, especially since I'm off...

    Hello Christine & Jen, I am having a bit of an off day today. I am feeling sore & achy. Hopefully, I'm not coming down with anything. My son Nathan stopped by on Monday, and he was really sick. He ended up going to the hospital yesterday, and had to have an IV drip, and some other meds...

    Hello Christine & Jen, Jen, sometimes the best thing is to cut ties completely with someone that drains us, as your friend seems too. Unfortunately, there are many people who are self-centered. Christine, glad you're enjoying the Slim series :) I hear those workouts are going to be...
