I am still here with MAJOR DOMS-- my abs feel like they are on fire! think it was the ab work in supersets initially, but then the abs in KPC where you use the weight on the ball-- my upper abs are totally fried. anyway, was not even thinking I would...

    Hi girls. Sorry I am not on here much. Went straight from dad's funeral and Alec's graduation to the kids' string program at the U of M, and it seems I am always running. Have been doing RWH hiits alternated with weight training by Traci Long and Jackie, as I can only squeeze a half hour in each...

    That cut off too soon! Darn smartphones! I was going to say that I did 30/30 hiit last week plus two days of upper body, one of yoga plus low impact RWH. Renee-- I am sorry for all the crud at work, but I know you will find the path that you are meant for. Hospice would probably be a great job...

    Hi girls. Pretty intense weekend here. Had dad's funeral on Saturday, then a concert that night, and on Sunday had Alec's graduation party. It felt like too many huge life events at one time, but it was good to see all the family and we did give dad a nice service. I did a workout by Tracie...

    Hi Ladylep-- it seems Renee has been off this thread for a while. I hope she comes back on again. Good to hear from you-- sounds like you have been getting good workouts in. Last week was so tough emotionally. It feels surreal to have both dad and mom gone, and with dad it all happened so fast...

    Hi girls. Very tough week here. My dad came home from the hospital last Saturday and passed away yesterday morning. It has been emotionally exhausting. I will post more later, but sending well wishes to you all. Ladylep, I wonder where Renee has gone off to? Hoping she is well. Peace, Katie

    hi girls. today was plyo hiit 1 plus abs 1 and 30 mins of shiva rea yoga. my feet survived! they weren't even painful, really. not sure if it's from the socks or because I have laid off plyo for a while and given them a chance to heal/rest. anyway, I was grateful! think I need to bring the fans...
