Morning BB's,

Today will be Kickmax. I will be doing the premix Kickbox/Bootcamp Challenge and adding on the Leg Conditioning Drills. Yesterday I did MIC Hi/Lo only and that one really kicks your butt. }( I don't care for hi/lo all that much, but now that I have a better cardio capacity it was a heck of a lot easier to do. :)

Have a great day,

Laurie
 
Good morning,

Laurie, Kick Max has become one of my favorite workouts. I didn't like it much at first, but the more I do it, the more I like it! And I'm with you... I'm not much of a hi/lo fan either. That's always the part of MIC that I really dread!

This morning I did KPC and Legs and Glutes. I had planned to do a premix of the two last night, but I had a mini-dog emergency. I took my two dogs out when I got home (our yard isn't fenced so we walk them on leashes). We went in the back yard and they were doing their business, and Bailey, my lab, was sniffing around our neighbor's fence and brushed up against a bush with some burrs on it. I stopped her before she got too many burrs on her, pulled them out of her hair, then we went inside. I was looking through my mail and thought she was just still chewing on her milkbone. But no. There had been a burr on her chest that I didn't see or feel, and she somehow contorted herself to pull part of it off with her mouth and was chewing on it. ! I got most of it out of her mouth, but she swallowed some of it and was hacking, coughing and getting sick. It was scary. She was breathing okay but was pacing around, coughing, licking her chops and the floor (for whatever reason)... she was panicky, understandably. She didn't know what was caught in her throat or why she couldn't get it out. I called our vet, who was closing, then called the emergency vet. They said that since she was breathing okay and was trying to get it out, to let her keep coughing, but if it continued to bring her in. Luckily, after about an hour she calmed down and stopped coughing. It was awful. I didn't know how to help her so I just kept trying to comfort her, but she didn't want that. I got her to drink some water, then we went outside just in the front yard and she ate some grass, which seemed to calm her down too. Sheesh!! Thankfully, she's fine now, like nothing happened. Of course, I went and pulled the bush out of the ground and threw it out... I don't want anything like that to happen again. That's a lab for you... they will eat ANYTHING.

Anyway, take care everybody.

Ellen
 
Hello there,
Laurie you have inspiraed to do KickMax premix kickbox/bootcamp with the leg conditioning drills. I love that DVD. I will also add on tricep/biceps from fit TV (If I have time, if not they are on for tomorrow). I am thinking of buying soem more Cathe DVDs...IMAX 3 and the gym style series, what do you guys think?

Anywaym have a great day.:)
 
Hi Badgers!

I am having SUCH a busy work day!! And I have my son home today because of no school, so it's extra stressful trying to work with him home.

Laurie-good for you for doing MIC. I can't get through the whole thing! It is just too hard!!

Ellen-glad your dog is okay. Geez Louise they WILL eat anything! Mace loves paper! I don't understand that at all. I can understand him liking shoes or even material, but paper......it doesnt' help get those baby teeth out. He'll grab anything--newspaper, magazine, dryer sheet.......

Jedi-Imax3 is TOUGH!! I don't have the GS ones. I prefer full body weight workouts (Power Hour, etc..).

I don't know what I'm doing today! I will most likely wait until my son is picked up by his dad. I have a headache that I think is caused by two things: 1. my neck is pretty sore today, and I think it's probably from lateral front raises and 2. detox! All the "bad carbs" are exiting my system. Today is day four of clean eating for me. I'm doing great and am feeling good, but I've heard it's not uncommon to suffer a headache - it's withdrawal from sugar basically.

I had Rythmic Step on my mind, but all this talk of kickboxing .... I might pull out KPC instead. I haven't done a kb workout in ages.

I'm also still waiting for the three bosu workouts I purchased at yaya to arrive......

Have a happy day!

Surpised that I can inspire so many people to do some kicking and punching. :)

Jedi, I love the GS series. The band work in those w/o's are great and give you that extra burn. I have gotten some great definition from doing this series for 4 weeks. The tricep work is the best. For me it comes in second place to PUB/PLB though. Imax3 is really tuff, and it also comes in second place as far as the fun factor behind Imax. Lots of jumping on and off the step.

I will be able to work out right when I get home tonight. Since the DD's don't have school, they don't have homework for me to supervise. Ya!! And DH is home since he is working a day shift. :D Guess I will have to make something good for dinner tonight! }(

Talk at you all later,

Laurie
 
I was looking at the vhs clearance stuff and wondering if I should get the old step workouts (fit, heat, works, powermax). I think I might be too bothered by the lace shorts and thong though. Yikes!

Do any of you do these? I don't know that I "need" them, but the more variety the better I guess.

Hi Jill,

I just recently started doing Step Works more regularly and really, really like it. The clothes aren't as dated, and it's a great workout. It's straight step, kind of like Step Blast, but the three combos aren't combined at the end. I highly recommend it!

Ellen
 
Hi all! I must be in a 'kicky' mood today as well. I'm doing KPC tonight.....it will have to be after Survivor though, I'm addicted to that stupid show!

~Hey Jill....I'm with you...I'm not sure about those old step videos as well. I've been thinking about it though.

Hope you all have a great day!
 
Jill,

I also like stepworks as Ellen mentioned. And another one I like is step heat. But the orange background can drive you batty!!!:D

Laurie
 
Hi BBs,
Winding down from the bathroom project. Maybe it is just me but I find these things so mentally exhausting. It does look nice though and SO DIFFERENT!

I have the 7th on my calendar!

Ellen & Jill - Muggs will eat anything and has many times. We are amazed he is still around. But he especially likes paper products like toilet paper, kleenex, paper towels.... He will even stick his nose in my pockets to check for kleenex.

Jill - The only one I was going to order was the Wedding Tape because the others that I wanted must have sold out already. Would you want to combine orders and split shipping? If I don't get this it isn't a big deal but unless there was more I wanted it didn't make sense with the change in shipping.

Hi to everyone. I am not reporting workouts because it has been a bad week. Haven't slept good but hoping to get back on track next week. With the time change this weekend maybe it will be easier to get up at 4am.
 
Marie, good idea. But I decided I'm not going to order anything after all. I just don't want VHS, and truthfully I have so many already that I don't have time to use!

I"m STILL waiting for my new bosu workouts! I paid for them on Sunday!
