I hope I will have more time to exercise and check in. My dh is taking off every Tuesday and Friday for the rest of the year. He wasn't able to take all his vacation time before now.

I ordered both the dvd's and the downloads for the new workouts. I decided not to start the downloads until they updated the workout blender.

Tomorrow is another football game.

Happy Sunday, Y'All!

I ordered the new workouts, so I am anxiously awaiting their arrival, even if I can't do them for a while yet. There's not much point in my getting the Workout Blender right now, my computer doesn't have enough memory to support more than one download. :( However, I am getting a new computer after the holidays, and then I am going to download the Workout Blender and buy some of the downloads. Looks like a lot of fun, and I could make some tougher, shorter workouts.

Have a great day, everyone.

Hi Everyone!

I caved and bought intensity on the download- I have previewed it and am going to do it tomorrow- first thing- I hope I make it all they way through!

Magnolia- I bought an external hard drive and I drag my workouts into it after I download- I also put them in my ipod for paying on the tv. that way- they don't bog down my computer.Hope your back is better.

and hope you get more time Joan!:)
 
HI all! I have downloaded all the new workouts. I did STS full body yesterday. I really liked the workout. I like the design and the flow. Cons - Way to much going on with all the equipment, people, and camera angles are not the best. The workout how ever is solid, so I can get past the video part of it. Today I am doing Intensity... Can't wait to hear what you think Beth.

Magnolia, you are such a trooper! The holiday sales for computers are normally great!! Happy shopping!

Joan grab some time for yourself, kid!! :) You know you don't need the WB to play the downloads, right?
 
Yea I got my dvd's today. I know I didn't need workout blender but I didn't want to download them twice. I will probably only use them with wo blender since I also have dvds. I haven't had time to look at them yet anyway. I was surprised we got them so quickly.

I did get another 3.5 miles in today.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!
 
Hi Ladies!

I have attempted insanity twice now- I can't get through the step section- I am not tired but I just can't stay with the choreography. What is wrong with me? I am going to do it again in about an hour- after I make the pies.

Jann- did you do it?

I know the rest of you haven't tried it yet. I am sure it is just me:(
 
Hi Beth -- Did you mean Intensity? Insanity for-get-about-it!! :eek: I have not tried this one yet. I thought I was going to do it yesterday and life got in my way.
short story... it seem we have some kids (at least I hope its kids and not a gang) going around spray painting our cluster mail boxes and stops signs in my development. So I was out yesterday trying to get the mess cleaned up. Apparently if this is a gang symbol, you are to get it removed as quickly as possible (neighborhood watch says). :confused::confused::confused:

I am about to go give it a try now. Be back later.
 
Hi, Y'All!

I just got the new dvds today. I am looking at Intensity right now. I have that same problem with the choreography on most of the newer Cathe workouts. I just keep plugging away, until I get them. In my case, it takes a while and I feel like a total klutz,:confused: but I eventually make it. Just keep working at getting the moves, and you'll get there. Tip: Be VERY patient, don't let it get to you, and DON'T give up!!

I saw the chiropractor today and had an adjustment. He told me that this was the best adjustment he has ever given me. I have to go back in two weeks this time, and I have to keep doing all the same things I have been doing, but I am almost there.

Cathy, have you seen the new workouts the Firm is releasing in December?

This is going to seem silly, but I have to go and finish the pilgrim hat I am making for our dog. Have a great evening, everyone.

Magnolia
 
Intensity is right. Insanity -may be a pilgrim hat for a dog! Just kidding, Magnolia- I'm sure there is more to that story!

I am going to give it another try now- (I said that earlier)- but I got caught up in pie baking.. be back later..
 
yes, i have, magnolia, i really want them, but just not sure if they are gonna live up to the hype.
 
Intensity is the only dvd that will work on my dvd player. I wanted to do total body. It did work on the computer but I really didn't like the camera work. Very distracting. I think I will be disappointed that I bought these. I could get same wo with wo blender. Probably would seem less choppy.

Joan
 
I just finished Lower Body Blast premix standing & floorwork. It was 56 min. I guess we will never get shorter premixes. I think this one will work if I don't look at it. Camera goes from front view to side view back to front view every other movement in some places. It was quite a workout and I had to skip some exercise because didn't have the eq near my computer.

Joan
 
Good morning, Y'All!

I always check out any new dvd's I receive to make sure there is nothing wrong with them. I have so far viewed Intensity and High Reps. They worked fine on my player. I'll catch the other two today. Personally, I did my gentle back stretches this morning, and will follow up those two more times today. Whatever I have to do to get well.

Beth, about the dog--we are dog lovers, but don't have a real live pet right now, because we travel a lot. So on our front porch is a plastic dog with a "Welcome" sign. He is one of those who looks real. So I embrace my inner little girl at each holiday, and I dress him up. (The mailman loves it--he gets a good laugh). Anyway, for Halloween, he was dressed up as Elvis (dark glasses, fake sideburns and all), and for Christmas he has a Santa beard and hat. Right now, he has his Pilgrim hat on. His name, by the way, is Buster.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Wanted to pop in and say "HI" and Happy Thanksgiving. I'm sorry I have just been MIA for a while.....maybe after holidays I'll be better. We have to move Mother from her "final resting place" to her "final, final resting place on Friday. Once that is over, I'll have some closure and can move on. I don't even know if I told you guys what happened, but if not just PM me and I'll let you know.

As far as workouts......sporadic at best....weight? I have actually lost to the point that my husband(who is my worst critic)said I was too thin. Go figure! Eating has not been a priority for me, I guess we all handle grief differently. Mine is forgetting to eat! Well, maybe not tomorrow......of course I have to cook everything. And you know what? Once I have to cook it I don't even want to think of eating it! If I go to someone else's house the food always tastes so much better to me, cause I didn't have to cook it!

So, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!!

Deb
 
Happy Thanksgiving.

Nice to hear from you Deb. I think you did the best thing for your mother fighting for the final resting place she wanted.

I have planned what I will eat today and as long as I spend 4 or 5 hours on the treadmill I should be ok.:p Maybe it's not that bad.

Good morning, Y'All!

I hope that each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was great. One of my friends was a balloon handler in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. He does this every year, and has a super time doing it. This year, he was in the crew for Horton the Elephant.

Hope you are all well. Have a great day!

Magnolia
 
Magnolia Glad you had such a good Thansgiving. Mine was great too. We didn't have anyone over and it was so relaxed. I wouldn't want to skip family very often but sometimes it's nice.

I've had a couple of prior discs not work but they did on laptop. I'm not getting rid of dvd player because it also does vhs and I still have old wo tapes. I will occasionally use these on computer if I want to move eq in to that room. Otherwise I will stop buying Cathe until this dvd player dies.

Hi to Deb, Jann, Beth and Cathy.
