Good morning!
I previewed KickMax for the second time yesterday, and practiced the combos a bit. I decided they weren't so intense, and watched the Challenge carefully, and planned on how to modify. So, today I did all of KickMax, blasts and all! I had to do high-knee runs in place of all those zig zag jumps, and did all plyo jacks in place of the tuck jumps in the 10th blast. I got a great workout! The combos are *definitely* easier than KPC's combos, but the Challenge is harder than KPC's high-intensity drills. So, down the road I can see myself doing: 1) KPC's combos and KM's challenge, for one workout, and 2) KPC's intensity drills and KM's combos for a less-intense (but still tough workout). KM's leg conditioning drills are really, really good!! How often do you think you need to do them each week, to see some improvement? Two? Three? I'm thinking of tacking them onto other cardio workouts. I couldn't do the first drill segment without taking breaks, but was able to get through the rest quite well. They work your core really well, don't they?
Love the crescent knees in KickMax! And I also love how well this workout is chaptered, so you can create workouts of many different intensity levels and duration. Cathe has done it again!
Carole! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Wendybdh - Oooooooh!!!!!!! Tamales all over the bathroom?? How awful for you!! I hope you put a note in your pregnancy calendar. The first upchuck is a momentous occasion LOL! I haven't actually vomited yet, but last night when I went grocery shopping I was gagging at some of the food, or the thought of what I was going to be cooking with the food I was choosing. It's really hard to plan your meals in advance when you never know what you're body is going to accept from one day to the next! I have my first doctor's appointment in an hour. I'll be emailing you later today, I promise!!
Jes - please remind me, what HCs did you order? The entire series? Yes, you'll get a note from me later today, too. My parents went home yesterday, and the termite is at daycare today, so I'm trying to get caught up with my life today.
Mariangeles - It sounds like you're having fun with your new workouts! You kick butt!!
Laurie Mac - I wish you well. You are brave. I hope you survive IMAX3 so you can type us a message and let us know how you like it
Sandy - good idea to do IMAX3 in 2 segments! It looks like a killer!
Haydee - what is SJP blast only?
I can't remember who suggested it, but a couple of days ago (yesterday?) someone recommended the SB/SJP premix #5. I looked it up in my notes, and it does indeed look tremendous. If I could take the hi impact moves these days, I'd put it in my rotation for next week. Oh well, it's always nice to have post-partum motivations!
Well, I'd best get moving. Have a great day everyone!
