Hi Jedi! I missed "seeing" you here. I hope you had a nice vacation. Sounds like you're back on track today! Thanks for the advice on the ankle. So...I should ice it today and maybe tomorrow, 20 min at a time, then try heat? I was thinking of getting a wrap or bandage after work today...

Hello! Good Monday morning to everyone. Hope your weekends were nice! I had to work but it wasn't too terrible. Okay Badgers, I am so mad at myself. I had a rough week last week with exercise (just laziness) so I was all ready to go this morning. Got up to do HSC. About 3/4 of the...

My best friend and I went to different universities and live in separate cities now, but we still keep in touch and try to see each other when we can. In fact....she does Cathe too and we "see" each other on the forums here sometimes! -Thea

Thanks!!!!

I recently asked Cathe something similar, here is her reply: Hi Thea! Depending on how hard and heavy you push yourself on the leg day, you may want to consider leaving your cardio alone that day. If that is not something you want to do then here are your other options: On your leg day...

Thanks for the replies. I meant trying a different rotation such as the GS or PS series, before doing more of a freestyle rotation...Should one try to build strength working legs only 1-2 times per week, THEN begin a freestyle rotation (legs 5-6 times per week with light or no weights)...

All this talk about freestyle training has me wondering something. Should lifting heavy on legs 1-2 times per week something that should be attempted prior to freestyle training? It seems that heavy lifting does work for some people. Should freestyle be started if that is not successful or if...

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone! I think that is what I needed to hear! I think sometimes I want to follow a rotation and it ends up wiping me out and I just give up. I will try to just listen to my body more. Sue--I have Totally Hot Cardio (I think that is the name, it's all...

Good morning, Ugh, I slept in again this morning so skipped my workout AGAIN. I doubt I will get much in this weekend either, busy with work but I will try my best. I need a clean slate! I seriously need a kick in the behind this week. I am in this slump where I want to workout but when...

Hi everyone, Yay, I am now connected at home! About time huh? I am off work today but work this weekend. I admit I slept in this morning, have had lots to do today. Planning to continue my rotation tomorrow morning. Hope you are all having a great day1 -Thea

Thanks! I will check out these links!

What kind of HR monitor do you all recommend that also gives calories burned? TIA! -Thea

Good morning, Thanks for starting the thread! I got up and did ME this am. I have a love-hate relationship with all of those leg presses! That really gets your heartrate up! Marie--Pedmom is right, a .4 wt loss IS great! I also have WI tomorrow, but may have to go in the morning...

Laurie, I am jealous you've been to Bristol! I really want to go there. I've only been to one Cup race, at Brooklyn MI last summer. It was a blast. Such a mixed crowd! My brother and I took my dad for Father's Day and he loved it. We are hoping to go to another race, probably next...

Hey Laurie, I was looking at your screen name--are you a Nascar fan? -Thea

Thanks! That's what I was looking for. I will have to experiment! Thanks again, Thea

Hey everyone, I thought I once saw on here someone mixed PB and Splenda into their plain yogurt? Sounds interesting....anyone have the recipe? TIA! -Thea

Hello everyone, Hope your mornings have been good so far. I had a little trouble getting out of bed but did. It was IMAX for me today, the original. Forgot how tough that one is! It's amazing how your body seems to remember the workout once you start doing it even if it's been a few years...

Good morning, Sounds like you need some rest Laurie Mac! Didn't get to post since Thursday--busy at work and I don't have internet at home yet (but I will by Thursday!). I did not have a stellar week last week anyway, little exercise and didn't eat very well all weekend. So, I decided to...

I saw your picture from last night, looks like you had fun! Thanks for the pick me up Jedi! If I don't talk to you, have a fun and SAFE vacation! -Thea
