Where are you ladies? I didn't know what to post this as,so I figured your names should get your attention.
I was just wondering what sort of challenge do you want to do next? Do you want to join in on one of the other challenges or should we do some sort of rotation together? I haven't really thought about it yet.And I probably wouldn't start it until Sunday.
Anywho,I just wanted to check with you gals on the subject and see what your thoughts were.

Hey Lorri!!!

I almost posted our New Year's Resolution Rotation thread yesterday, but then remembered 2 things: Cathe's new rotation has the same title and I think Bobbie mentioned she would be out of town for a few more days. So I wasn't sure what to do.

New Year's Eve was my last day of work, and I am so excited! I am truly ready to kick my fitness up a notch and enjoy it.

So what are you interested in doing? I have been in the process of making up a few rotations to start with. I wasn't going to start officially until after the 7th or 8th, because that is when my grandmother leaves and I will have my workout room again. But if you guys start something, I'll be there, too, to do my best. I may also have to revamp my rotations, because they may be too difficult for my fitness level right now. When I get them done, I will post them and see what you think. I'm very interested in hearing what you guys have in mind. I love doing this with you guys. It helps tremendously and you are so motivating.

I didn't work out all week. Not since Christmas Eve :( I have been so tired and relaxed. But I finally did BodyMax yesterday and it kicked my butt! I feel great. Maybe if we don't start our rotation right away, I'll start feeling out the BB series. Do you have all them, Lori? If so, I know Bobbi is very into them right now and I will try to come up with a rotation including those. One of my BIG goals is to start running in a couple of months when the ice and snow finally go away. This is the worst winter we've had in 10 years. It's great, but very hindering :)

Ok, enough babbling. Talk to you soon.

Happy New Year!!!
 
Hi Sara,
I just got around to responding to your post.Uh,life is finally getting back to normal.:)
I still have no idea what I am going to do.I thought about trying the BFL program again,but I have some really early mornings at work and it isn't possible for me to work out before work. I may still consider it.I could still do the eating program though.
I have been using my treadmill a fair bit,incorporated with Cathe videos.Yesterday I did S,J&P, plus 30 min on the treadmill.I did 10min after the step part, and I did a few minutes after every weight segment.I am confused about how your body gets use to certain workouts.My body is use to running and it is use to doing step BUT it isn't use to doing both of them at the same time.So does that mean that I am shaking my workouts up enough to start seeing results again and get out of the plateau?
I am enjoying doing these types of workouts but I will have to mix it up with some other stuff.Time flyes when I have new things to try.
I haven't checked out Cathes new rotation yet.Thats what I plan on doing next.
Of course my goals are like everyone elses.I don't care so much for losing weight anymore b/c I lost about 5 lbs over christmas and I am fitting back into my jeans.I would still like to do something about my love handles and tone up my legs to.Hard to do when you hate leg workouts:eek: I am hoping that I don't gain the weight back.I think I lost it b/c I was so busy.I burned calories by running around all day and not eating right.
I guess whatever we decide on we should start on Monday or tomorrow.The gatherings have finally stopped for me.There was no point in starting anything when I knew I was going to be drinking and eating in the night time.
Two things that I am positive about is 1)I have to do more ab work.I use to do it everyday,I didn't have a six pack by no means but I could see where my abs were.
2) I am not eating anything in the night time, unless I go out somewhere.I think eating before bed is a bad habit and it only takes a few days to get use to.I did it before and I can do it again.
I have also thought about starting a food journal and exercise journal.It would be nice to keep it going for the full year and to see all the workouts I have done.
Chat to ya later,
Lori:)
 
Hmmmmm.... I just clicked the wrong button on my mouse and lost my entire post :(

Ok, here goes again :)

I think that Monday would be a great day to start our new year rotation..... not sure what to call it. If we start Monday, I only have a couple more days with my exercise room dilemma, so that should be very doable. I don't think it matters that we do exactly the same rotation, but I am thinking about starting the Body for Life eating program. I have been interested for a long time, so I may buy the book. I need something to follow for a little while, anyway. I need the regimented schedule sometimes.

Oh, and I think that what you are doing with treadmill right now is fantastic. You are definitely shaking up your routine, and if I had one, I'd be doing something like this, too. I think that my first purchase is going to be an elliptical trainer. Those gave me a killer workout and improved my running, too. I have also been considering a BOSU for more abwork as well. I've been following the post in the Video Questions and Comments forum, and I am pretty convinced. It's just a little pricy. My problem areas is pretty much confined just to my legs, and luckily, I love leg workouts. Though my legs don't cooperate most of the time.

And I am right there with you about eating at night. I always saw the best results when I stopped doing that. And my family is BAD about noshing in the wee hours. We just wake up too often.

Here is an example of what I was thinking of for the first couple of weeks of my rotation. I have it nearly finished, if you're interested in trying it:

Monday: Imax2 & Millennium Stretch

Tuesday: Muscle Endurance & Leaner Legs

Wednesday: Rythmic Step & Power Yoga for Runners

Thursday: Boot Camp & Cardio and Weights

Friday: Imax1

Saturday: Muscle Endurance & Leaner Legs

Sunday: Rest


Monday: Imax2 & Millennium Stretch

Tuesday: Body Camp & Cardio and Weights

Wednesday: Rest

Thursday: Cardio Kicks & Power Yoga for Runners

Friday: Muscle Endurance & Leaner Legs

Saturday: Imax Xtreme (& Power Yoga for Runners if I feel good)

Sunday: Rest

I think this is what I'll do. And then focus on more strength later on. I really really hope to get myself into great shape. Then when I move, I'll have to give up exercise for a couple of months :( I am very unhappy about that. And I won't have a computer for a couple of months, at least. Life is so cruel :)

Well, tell me what you think. Monday, we start anew!!! :D

Your rotation sounds good.I am also interested in the 8week rotation posted in the rotation section.I better make up my mind soon.:-(
I just did Imax 2 and after each interval I did 4 min on the treadmill.So, I got a 40 min run in, plus however long Imax 2 is 40-45 min? I did 120 min of cardio...ouch.It was good though and I felt very energetic.
Chat to ya soon,
Lori:)
 
Wow, all I can say is that I am very impressed! I have a feeling that with this treadmill, you'll start seeing awesome results.

I did Cardio Kicks and Power Hour just a bit ago. I feel fantastic and I used my new Troy Lite barbell for the first time :D What a difference it makes!!! I'll have to get used to having that weight on my shoulders for lower body work, though.

I'm off to have dinner with DB. I'm starving now!! And still wishing I had a treadmill, too...... :)

I was impressed with myself to.My husband came home around interval 7 and he wanted to know what we were gonna have for dinner.I told him that I would be just a few minutes(thinking I only had 4 intervals to go)but really I had the intervals plus 16min of running.It was a great workout and I didn't know how I was gonna feel after interval 9 but I must have been on some sort of high b/c I did the full interval.Some days I have to modify that interval but not last night.I didn't modify anything.:) I don't think it will be something that I will be doing all the time.I would have to have alot of energy to burn.Plus,when I started it I thought,I will see how I feel after interval 5.So anything after interval 5 was a bonus.If I start it and think that I am doing all of it and I don't, I will feel bad about it.
I was thinking about taking today off b/c I don't know what my rotation will involve tomorrow.But I may do a small workout and hop in the shower.
I got to check out this site and see what rotations are around.I need a rotation that doesn't tell me specfic videos and it has to be a mixture of videos.I get bored easily and I always do what I feel like that day.
I just measured myself and my hips and waist are back!:7 Last time I measured I had about 1-2 inches on both areas.I can't help but think that my upper thighs are still holding on to a pound.That is the only place that my jeans don't feel right but at the same time it isn't a big deal.I also got on the scale and I am back on track.!I lost about 5-6 pounds.
Anyway,I should go see what rotations are around.Get another cup of coffee,check the laundry and then MAYBE workout:)
Have a good one,
Lori:)
 
Hi! I got back Friday night but I have been staying off the computer for the most part so I can get my house done because Monday is the day I chose too! LOL!

I haven't sat and worked out a long term plan because I usually never do long term plans except to plan them. I sort of do what I feel like doing as it comes up. I am still moderating cardio and emphasizing strength so I thought I would do Timesaver cardio with 1 Slow/Heavy body part per day this week. I really love the Body Blast so I know I will be doing some of it but I have a hankering for the Intensity Series as well. I want to pull out the Power Series too because that heavy training is what I need to get these wimpy muscles to pop! So loosely, I'll start with Slow/Heavy, do PUB/PLB, then Power Series for heavy strength training and I will do short cardio session and choose from any of Cathe's cardio since it will all fit as long as I shorten the duration of the long workouts! (I think Push/Pull could be tacked on as a short intense extra strength workout depending on how the week goes.) CTX and Super Sets will be part of my moderate strength training as will Muscle Endurance (it could be done heavy though) when I boost my cardio and moderate my strength but that won't be for 4-6 weeks.

I am taking a break from fitday because I am obsessing with my diet again! I'll check in post workout tomorrow if not sooner! I am very excited to dig in my heels and get my training in high gear now that the holiday madness has ended!

HI Gals,
I didn't work out today:-( and I still full full from tonights dinner...4 1/2 hours ago!
I am pretty sure that I am going to do the look great in 8 rotation.Every week is different,which I LOVE, and I can decide what workouts I want to do.I am going to eat as clean as possible for 8weeks(hopefully for longer:) ) and I may even put in a short run on the treadmill in the morning.
I went out and bought a cool day planner.On one side of the page I can write down what I ate and on the other I can write down what workout I did.
Talk to ya soon,
Lori:)
 
Uh,changed my mind.I thought about doing the 8 week rotation but when I got it all worte down I realized that there was gonna be alot of fastforwarding and rewinding.B/C I would only do certain body parts per day from certain videos.It did look like a good rotation but I also think it takes alot of time.
So this is the rotation I have come up with.I only did this rotation with a certain thing in mind...more weigh training.I have been so slack lately with the weights and I need to get it in there!
Week1 &3
Mon-Upper Body &Cardio
Tues-Cardio
Wed-Lower Body & Cardio
Thurs-Cardio
Fri-circuit
Sat-cardio & FUll BOdy Workout

I plan on doing one long cardio and one interval cardio.I know I can handle all of this cardio b/c I am use to it.And I don't think circuit and then a full body workout(such as PH or ME)will bother me b/c I never get sore from circuit workouts and I always find it to be more of a cardio workout.

Week2 & 4
Mon-Cardio & back
Tues-Cardio & Chset
Wed-cardio & BIc
Thurs- Legs
Fri-Cardio & Tri
Sat-Cardio & shoulders

Back to the one body part per day rotation.I really enjoyed it (when I did it) but then the holidays got the best of me and missing one workout fooled me up.
I am going to see what results I get with this, while eating clean.If I see some changes I may continue with it for 8 weeks.
Chat to ya soon,
Lori:)
 
OH and ABS EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost forgot, thats one of my new years resolutions.(not every day but not much off)I use to work abs ALL the time and now I probably go a full week without doing them.Terrible!
