Hi girls!
I promised I'd be back for personals, I'm way late but I'm here. I apologize in advance for any typo's or spelling errors as I'm extremely exhausted and my MS fatigue is so bad that my symptoms- balance issues, walking issues and all motor skills with my right hand are definitely diminished today.
Debbie- Whoo hoo! Way to rock STS Kickbox + Core Conditioning todayt, nice calorie burn! That's a fun workout!
Jessica- WTG on the DOM'S lovin' workouts! STS, is da bomb in my opionion its so amazing and extensive in working thoroughly all muscle groups its the gold standard of lifting weights I think, but then all of cathe's stuff is like that!
But take it easy if the next day after the Dom's feelin' if you need to take a break make that your rest day. Do something less taxing like go for a walk or yoga so that it loosens the tight muscles up but gently. Then your ready to hit it hard in Dom's city the next day. Way to go on your workout!!!
Jolene- Its so great you and Jessica had such a great workout its so cool to have a workout buddy, or a Dom's support buddy!
Talk about sweating calves, that sounds like a awesome workout. I know there is nothing on me that isn't dripping puddles of sweat when I'm doing Insanity. That's not just a calorie burner its a darn heat seaking calorie burning lazer of a calorie burner. I but you'd like it if you liked Cathe's HiiT. Great job on your workout!
Heather- Girl your amazing! You definitely inspire me miss 5k PR.
Trust me there are lots of days that forcing myself to finish a workout or even to workout is a victory in its self even if its not a stellar workout for me. I gave myself permission to be content with completing the workout on those days not trying to compare it to a kick butt workout day that I felt I rocked. Its okay to have a okay or good workout but not a great workout day. I've learned to be grateful for what I can do on a given day even if MS fatigue is kickin' my butt and I can barely grip any weights with my right hand or my balance is bad that day and I fall over. Hey, I did the workout and I finished it and that's ok because it beats the hell out of not moving or being able to workout physically at all. I'm not saying rest days are very important because they are. Over training is as bad as not training or working out, but take the rest day when you feel you need to, be safe and smart. You rocked another workout today even if you didn't feel it was one of your most awesome workouts done, you did it!!!! I say bravo!!!!
Melissa- Oh man, I did CTX Upperbody Split and let me tell you its a Dom's giver, yep! I did that one about a week or so ago. I think its one of the sleeper gems of Cathe's because its been out for sometime its one of the older ones and I don't think alot of people realize the older ones are awesome and cathe doesn't water anything down in terms of effectiveness, she still is happy to give us DOM's with a evil smile on her little face. LOL!!! Great workout Melissa, ^^^5's!
Belinda- Great to here from you. So sorry that your still having issues with your sinuses and ears. That's just not fun especially when your travelling. I hope your safe to fly. I know ear aches or sinus pressure issues can fell worse due to altitude changes. I'd ask your doctor so you won't be in agony on the flight back to Germany. Good for you to get a CCPP workout in, but girl not without A/C for me that would be bad news. I'd be need emergency treatment. MS and hot weather do not play well together. Its weird like instant paralysis with me. My legs just turn into wet noodles there's no strenght and it takes me several hours in AC to recover even then when I do its like a ran a marathon type fatigue. Definitely use the AC gym please. I know you didn't know the AC was broke in the first one but please be careful we don't want anymore hospitals in your near future and I'm sure your tired of all that any who! Please take care and feel better, and I hope they can get to the bottom of these relentless sinus and ear problems. Do they still do the tubes in the ears operation? I remember that was often done in the past for people that suffered chronic ear infections, this way they are able to drain so no infection? I don't know if thats a consideration in your situation but if it is might ask your doctor about it. I really want you to get all this sinus and ear stuff behind you as in a closed chapter not to haunt you any further. Please be well and Hugs to you!
Roxie- Great job on your workout!
Oh cool on giving insanity a try. Remember to modify for you when needed and do what you can do as much as you can, don't feel pressured to keep up with them on the DVD. I'm sure from the looks of some of the participants are either athletes or trainers. Either way just listen to Shaun T and his demo's and just do it. The first 10 minutes of warm up feel like Cathe HiiT pyramid but you'll survive it I promise. Keep lots of cold water close by and a nice towel to wipe your sweat off your face. Its tough, challenging, and fun. You'll feel like a million bucks when your done. The first one is the Fit Test, and I'd sugest watching the workout all the way through which is 30 min first. Oh and don't skip the warm up or cool down you will need those. Just have fun and realize that even the people on the DVD are getting their butts kicked doing this workout. Even Shaun T is dripping with sweat and out of breath, so don't ever feel bad if you do. I find them doing that encouraging because I'm right in there with them doing that same thing too! Its a fun workout and its definitely worth a try and just modify to make it work for you, and always be safe. Have a fun and insane workout! Let me know what you think, ok.
Wendy- Hi's and waves to you girl, hope all is going great for you!
Seeya all at tomorrow's check in. Sleep well.
Hugs!
