50 and Over_ *Sunday*

[fox2star]

Good Afternoon all!

I did not get to the boards yesterday.. DH and I went to a Daylily farm and a Hosta farm. We bought 8 day lilies and 3 Hostas.. had to get them in the ground this morning so that is why I am a little late getting here. I still managed to do SH Legs and Shoulders before we went to the yard. I knew that if I put it off, after planting I would never get back to it.. now it's house work x( We also ate lunch in Rochester at the Dinosauer Bar.. great pulled pork, mac & cheese! My cheat meal for the week!

Susan: you will love Kick, Punch & Crunch.. Comes with Legs & Glutes too. if you get the DVD, it has some good pre-mixes. I like the Kicking & Punching combos only one.. no impact!

Josie: I can;t imaging running on sand dunes! Wow you are awesome!

Garance: the new TV sounds great. It will be almost like you are in the room with Cathe and crew! I belive I have that issue of More.. is it the JUly/August one? I decided not to get the subscription, and buy it when I see it has something I am interested in. Hollyhocks.. mmm.. I may need to look into those. Hope your bone density test comes out good.. I am on Fosamax each week.. Osteopenia (sp?)

Jen: the Classical Stretch sounds great..which 3 do you have? these maybe a good sub for the stretch in P90X which I hated! I hate his yoga workout too! I will look at her website again..

Rhonda: too bad about the deer and daylilies.. the only critter we get here is rabbits! there are more rabbits in our neighborhood than squirrels! Sounds like you had a good workout with BM2.

Cathy: Sad about your grandchildren crying when you leave... but at least you had a good time..the pictures are so cute! .Yes, CTX is a cross trainer type series, but lots of high impact.. I may use it next after my SH rotation, but only use the weight parts and sub my own cardio.

Have a great day all.. I'll be back early tomorrow!

Happy Sunday, All,

Cathy, your grandchildren are gorgeous!

fox2star, I have these 3 Classical Stretch DVDs:

Full Body Workout 1 / Athletes Intense Stretch - two full workouts. I think they're about an hour each.

Express 30-minute Workouts: 3 workouts on this DVD.

Her TV show: 26 workouts on one DVD! Each is about 25 minutes.

This may be the best workout investment I've ever made. Yes, I love them that much, and I'm not easily impressed.

Friday, I did Bodymax2. I had planned to try to get through the whole 90 minutes, but I was over an hour late getting home from work, due to flooded Houston streets. I did the warmup, weights, core, cooldown, and stretch. It took about 45 minutes.

Yesterday, I did Maximum Intensity Cardio, the whole thing. It wiped me out! Also, I had to mix it up and do step before Hi-Low. When I've tried to do it as presented, I slipped and tripped all over the step after being wiped out by the Hi-Low.

Have a wonderful day,
Jen

Hi Deb and Jen--

Love the new TV. I felt like Kimberly Spreen was right there with me. I did her Absolute Kickboxing workout--intervals alternating with defensive bodybar work (approx. 70 min.).

That 45 minute BM2 workout looks good. Is that one of the premixes, Jen,or did you just fast forward to the weights after the warmup? I haven't done MIC for a very, very long time. I don't think it would be good for me to even try to modify all of that impact now. You are very, very brave. I remember doing it and almost feeling sick afterward--"in my salad days, when I was green in judgment."

Sorry, Rhonda, about the deer. We have plenty of deer up in our woods, but they don't bother us. My husband thinks it's because of all the electric fencing around the pigs and the cows. But I have heard a lot of the local gardeners complain about losing their daylilies to deer. The real problem here is coyotes. We have lost so many cats that we no longer even try to have one. Really sad.

Going out to dinner tonight. Think maybe sushi, which I love.

Tomorrow is my cortisone shot. Then I might dip into Butts and Guts, which is one of my most neglected DVDs because of the knee.

Enjoy the rest of the day! I think tomorrow is going to be a steambath here in the northeast.
