I will statrt the tread today, if someone has already started this great if not here we go...today I will try to do Cardio and weughts jst the cardio section. I have a lot going on today so I am going to try to squeeze it in between now and bedtime. I hope everyone else is doing well. I try to workout twice a day just 2 days a week. I work like to do it more but mom duties call and I can only do one workout on the days that I work. I'll let you know if I am able to get my work out in today. Good day all.
 
Morning Everyone,

Today will be PUB and HSC lower body only. I also have a softball game tonight and grocery shopping. Know that I have put it all down I'm already exhausted. :D

Everyone was giving there ages yesterday and I am 41 also. Will be 42 next month. I do Cathe workouts for the majority of the time, but I enjoy other kickboxing instructors also. I'm thinking of getting the TurboJam. }( I am married to a great guy, and have two lovely DD's that are ages 12 and 8.

Karen, I was watching the news this morning, you guys had some chilly weather this morning. Must have been nice after all the heat before that. I had been on vacation last week and was up in the Minong area. My brother has a cabin just north of there. Did you guys get some rain? It was pretty dry in that area!

Fab40, you will always be welcome to check-in even when you are in Arizona. I would be willing to meet within the next two weeks. I'm available only during the weekday evenings. Mondays are best! (but am willing to meet other days!) Weekends during the next two weeks are already booked.

Have a great day!

I have major window washing to do today, but I am going to try to squeeze in a couple segments of Mindy's Cardio Toolbox and ab work from one of Cathe's circuit vids.

Laurie, Marie1120 and I are hopefully going to make some arrangements for a meeting place. Possibly Applebees, Houlihan's (by Brookfield Square). Weeknights are the best for me right now as my life on the weekends is totally caotic with moving and showing the house and my dd's b-day coming up. Wed. 8-3 or Thurs. 8-4 will work great for me.

Laurie-wow what a busy day you have today! Summer always seems so much busier than winter. Why is that? My son plays baseball and it consumes our lives most of the summer. He started football this past Monday and is still playing baseball, so we're on double duty. I can't wait until he can drive himself to practice! Their team made it to state, so that will be our weekend coming up.

Cynthia-Wed. 8/3 works for me, if you all don't mind me just jumping into the thread lol. I live in East Troy now, but grew up in West Allis and know my way around (haven't always lived in the boonies lol), so I'm sure I can find the place we decide on just fine. Where are you moving to? I am still trying to warm up to Mindy's CT. I like the kickbox section a lot (works GREAT on the bosu), but don't care for the sporty step-it's too "jumpy"/high impact for me.

Good morning!

Rough getting up this morning but I managed. Got a run in as well as Super Sets. I considered sleeping in but am so glad I didn't! Looks to be a busy day for me at work today so I needed that jump start (coffee helps too!).

Hey Jedi--way to go getting in two a days sometimes! I have been thinking about that a couple times a week as well. Right now, I still get fatigued from what I have been doing so I will wait. By the way, I changed my screen name to Artemis, so look for me! Good luck getting in your workout today! Talk to ya soon.

Hi BBs,
Either 8/3 or 8/4 works for me. I get off work at 4:30. It would be great to meet more of you so hope we can find a time to get together before Fab40 lives for AZ.

Pedmom - thanks! :) I don't think I look 52 either but that could always just be denial!!! Glad you are enjoying the bosu. I grew up in West Allis too!

I am not doing just Cathe either and actually very little at the moment but want to get back to doing her more. I also ordered the new ones and looking forward to those. The lower body blast premix looks great.
 
Thea-(and Marie) you people that get up in the dark to exercise are my heroes! I can NOT make myself get up to exercise early. I'm so not a morning person. Not that I'm crabby, but I just take a while to warm up and get some energy. Especially since I cut way back on my caffeine intake.

Marie-I said 8/3 cuz I have my boys on 8/4 and couldn't make it. I work from home except on Mondays, so I could make it at anytime. It would be fun. I was thinking when I picked up the bosu from you that it would have been nice if we'd had time to chat, but I was on my way to a family event. Where did you live in WA? I grew up right on the Southwest corner of 88th & Cleveland.

I can't wait to get Cathe's new workouts. I had Basic Step/Body Fusion and traded them away when I felt they were too easy (ha!) but that was when I was doing Cathe every day and was in really good shape. I just can't do that high intensity every day anymore. So now I'm wishing I still had BS/BF, which is why I was happy to see the new "easier" workouts. The pre-order prices can't be beat!

Jill, I lived on 121st & Washington but in 6th grade moved to 91st & Lapham so was very close to you then!

8/3 is good for me. That makes 3 of us for sure. Any others interested in a Waukesha get together that night?
 
Good morning,
Today I got up and did Low Max and Gym Style Back, Shoulders and Biceps. I thought I was going to do this workout yesterday, but my plans were derailed after work — I went grocery shopping instead. When I work out early, this time of the morning is always hard for me; I get so sleepy when I'm finally just sitting at my desk at work. I may have to break down and get some caffeine earlier than normal.
Everybody was telling ages yesterday, so I thought I'd say that I'm 27. I've been working out regularly for many years (I was a fast-pitch pitcher in high school), although I didn't always work out so hard during college or after. In the last four years I've taken off all but about five-10 pounds of what I gained in college, and I think I'm okay with that. I'm a lot healthier now than I was then.
I started working out at home about three years ago, mainly using the Firm. I found Cathe via the Video Fitness Web site, and now I use her workouts almost exclusively. I run some too.
Sorry for the novel; I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi Ellen! We have something in common! I am 28, but I also played fast-pitch softball. I was a pitcher and played first base, and I think I did shortstop for awhile too. I also played Volleyball in college (UW-Platteville). Anyway, I just saw what you wrote and I HAD to respond! I'm still 15 pounds heavier than I was in highschool, between college (that put on 5), getting married (that put on 5) and having my daughter (yup, you guessed it...another 5), I've definately filled out some! Anyway, I'm slowing losing it with Cathe, which I love!

Waukesha ladies - I am very close to Waukesha, about 45 minutes away...but I can't make it that week. But I do think we should periodically have get togethers and just meet each other. That would be so fun!!!

Oh yeah, the whole reaon for the check-in....I'm doing PLB today, along with a nice long walk/jog with my daughter. The weather is absolutely gorgeous today!
 
Cool! I used to love to pitch. Every now and then I convince my boyfriend or my brother to catch a few for me. I play coed slow-pitch now, which is fun, but I'm sort of thinking about joining one of the fast-pitch rec teams next summer. It might be a little intimidating though — I haven't played fast-pitch in a LONG time.
 
Good morning all. I finished Imax 3 cardio only and Muscle Endurance. Sorry about all the posts yesterday, I didn't know about page 2 and when I looked to see if my message posted, I didn't see it so I tried again--leaving a trail of lots of posts. Sorry. I love the cool weather. It feels like fall, but I still have time before winter. As for doing anyone but Cathe, I just can't make myself do it anymore. I have 6 children from 14 down to 2. We do a lot of swimming, soccer and baseball. I don't play softball though. I think its great you get to meet each other. My brother lives in Waukesha a couple of miles from Waukesha State Bank. I could always stay with him if another get together was planned. We are busy with mountain biking this time of year so we travel around the state. Anyway, nice meeting you on this site. Have a good day. Karen
 
Hello all,
Since everyone is sharing their ages I will too. I am 28 and I know that Thea77 is also 28, we went to high school together and she is still my best friend....love ya Thea :) anyway, I think that I will for sure get my workout in today. I am thinking of buying some new DVDs. I was think of getting the body blast dvds. I was also thinking that I need to get a stability ball but I can modifiy the workouts till I get one. I also want to get a bike so I bike a couple days a week. Maybe that summer is coming to an end (that makes me sad) I can get a good deal or a good sale. See you all later:+
 
Hello again
I just thought of an idea...if we do go to the next road trip we should come up with a tee shirt that we all can wear so that everyone knows tha we are Cathe fans from the great state of WI. What do guys think?
 
Jedi that's a neat idea. I really wanted to go on this last trip, but it was too $$$.

I have a Trek Crossroads bike I was going to sell for $100. I paid $325 a long time ago (like 7 years ago) but never got into riding. It's almost like new. In fact, it's so new that the tires still have those nubby things on them that wear off after you ride it for awhile lol. I was just thinking the other day of putting it in the front yard with a for sale sign on it. Let me know if you're interested in seeing it (if you're not too far away). SOMEONE might as well get some use out of it. It's not doing me any good in the basement year after year lol.
 
Today I did KickMax which should be called KickButt in my opinion cuz those 10 blasts really kick my butt! Soooooooooo glad it's cooler.

Yes, if a bunch of us go on the roadtrip next year we have to have t-shirts made. Can we get a Badger t-shirt and have lettering added?
