Good morning,

I am getting ready to go to the gym with DH (it's his b-day today)! I will be back later.

Have a wonderful day and workout!
 
Morning,

I did leg and ran on the TM! My legs are like rubber:D not a good idea to run after a heavy leg workout :confused: I will be back later to post my workout.

DH wants to take me for lunch:) BBL!
 
Last night I ended up doing a little over 5 miles. It was kind of nerve wracking running in the dark though. I was sooo worried about falling. The neighborhood apparently doesn't believe in street lights.

Roxie & Nora - great workouts last night.

Belinda - Happy bday to your hubby!

I think I might do weights at lunch (chest) then take myself to the river trail for a run after work.
 
Roxie - You'll be happy to hear that I stretched out my legs last night giving special attention to my aductors and hip flexors. It felt great and I will do it again this evening. :)

Hi everyone!
 
Got my spin on this morning with my fave spin instructor. She pushes me harder than anyone else at my gym and I LOVE it! Dripping by the end and totally spent. It always surprises me though that my calorie burn for that hour long class is around 450 cals or so, it's so intense, I am surprised it's not more. But I don't care - it's still an awesome class! I guess I just compare everything to running and the ridic cals you can burn with that, so efficient it is, isn't it? Hopefully my knees will love me again soon so I can run again, oh I how I love it!

Belinda - nice workout, and yes, you are nuts to run and do legs back to back! Crazy girl! Happy bday to your hubby!

Heather - nice job on the run last night, even if in the dark. Isn't it weird to do??? At least you didn't do a face plant like I did a couple weeks ago. ;) Oh how I miss running!!!

Roxie - awesome workout last night!

Nora - same to you, I looooove PUB, it always gets me good too, and in a different way than STS. Interesting huh?

Hi everyone!

I came back from Alabama with a pinched nerve in my neck...:mad: Woke up at 3:30 am Friday morning in some serious pain. I'm sure I slept wrong. I was in a king size bed all to myself with about ten pillows...:cool: The plane ride home was no fun!! Finally feeling better and can't wait to start M3...:D

Need some input: I had intended on doing M2 Legs in M3, but previewed both M3 plyo and squat rack DVD's last night...LOVE THEM BOTH. Does anyone work legs 2x in one week? I'm really tempted. Both workouts are so different from each other. I was thinking about doing something like this and wondering what you guys think:

Chest/Back
Plyo legs
Cardio
Shoulders/Bis/Tris
Squat rack legs
Cardio
Rest

Belinda - Happy Bday to your DH. I hope you enjoy the day!

Debbie - nice job on that stretch. Hope you enjoy the rest of your rest week.

Jessica - what's going on with your knees? Sorry I don't already know this...:eek:

Hi Heather, Roxie, Nora & Chris...:)
 
Good Morning,

Tonite is L&G floor work and abs.

Debbie-happy to hear about the stretching way to go.

Melissa-sorry to hear about your neck.

Belinda-have a good day.

Heather-good job with your run.

Jess-good job with your workout.

Hi girls!;)

I'm back for personals.

Belinda- Happy B-Day to your hubby, I hope he had a great day! Oh, and please tell him I said thank you for serving his country, in remembrance of veteran's day:). It sounds like you had a killer workout today on the TM, and leg weight work, OMG! I hope your legs will be ok for a workout tomorrow, maybe give the legs a rest day and do upperbody or something. Excellent workout today,WTG~~:cool:;)

Heather- Nice job on the five mile run, but please be careful when it gets so dark early. You can buy a headlamp type headband thingy, I bought one for my DH at Home depot. That way you can see where you are running and give drivers better visibility of you too. Nicely done on your run:cool:;)

Debbie- Nice job on the stretching during your rest week. I was going to ask what do you think of foam rollers for stretching and deep tissue type massage like feel? I'm interested in learning your thoughts on that one. WTG on your stretch, that's always a good thing to do.

Jessica- Bravo on your sweatfest of a spin class. I've never been to a spin class but it sounds like fun and a great sweat, awesome workout today!;):cool: Nice calorie burn and you felt awesome afterwards that's the main thing. Bravo for your spin class workout today and doing cardio that's kind to your knees. You rocked that spin class today!!!:cool::eek: PUB always sneaks up on me because I think I can lift way heavier than what Cathe and gals, but when I do on PUB I always regret it and can't lift much at all. I have to remind myself this is a muscle endurance workout and not a strength building workout, but man she always gets me good with that one. It fools you with using dumbells then you forget that its a pyramid and those kill even with lighter weights than STS, but its a definite keeper of a workout.;)

Melissa- Welcome back, we missed you. Sorry to hear about your neck bugging you. I can so relate I have chronic neck problems since I suffered whip lash over 20 years ago, it was pretty severe. Please take care of your neck and I hope the pinched nerve works its way free and stops causing you any discomfort. I love STS M3 its my fave of all the Meso cycles. The leg work is awesome, I love leg work and ab work. Yes, I'm crazy like that.:p I have not doubled up doing two leg workouts a week from M3 but I have done premixes from Legs and Glutes or Butts and Guts and done M3 Leg work. I have not yet done the Squat rack weights for legs yet from STS. I hurt my neck when I was considering that before I finished my second round with
STS. So, to be safe I opted to not do the squat rack and just did regular Meso 3 sparing my neck with having a barbell on it. I don't have a squat rack, but I've heard its awesome to do if you do. If not, and you still want to do the squat rack dvd to use a weighted vest so you can go heavier safely without a squat rack, but only go as heavy as safe for you to lift. Take care Melissa and get a great nights sleep.;)

Roxie- Awesome workout with L & G floor work and abs that's always a great intense but short leg, thigh, and tush workout. WTG on the abs! You go girl:cool::)

Chris- Excellent! You are so rockin' STS this is your third round:eek::cool: WTG, girl. Nicely done today with Meso 2, Disc 17, Legs love the leg work on meso 2 and 3. Oh man trisets are killer and actually fun. :eek::p:):cool:

Heather- Congrats on your four mile run at lunch with your hubby today. You said you might do some legs or chest work tonight. I don't think I'd have it me to do leg work after a four mile run, but you go for it if your legs will let you. For me, I'm doing good if I still can walk or have balance at least for a little while before I can have a few minutes to recover. :);) I know you'll rock that workout whatever you choose as usual.;)

Ok, girls that's it for me today. I need to go apply my nightly heated corn pillow to my neck so sleep is possible. I fell today and hit my head this morning and split open the skin behind the ear. Its ok, I cleaned it with H2O2 but man that hurt. Oh well, I shook it off after a few minutes and went ahead and did my HiiT workouts as planned and ab work. Good night ladies, way to rock all those workouts today, we are definitely Cathletes!

Hugs to everyone!;):)
