Good morning ladies,

This morning I did CTX legs + Aerospace Savage & Serene (I did Savage). I last 45 minutes as I ran out of time. I do not use the jump rope but just jump on the spot. It still gets my heart rate way up.

Zhaoyang - Welcome! I am honoured that we are your first post everrrrrrr!

Carmen - hope to hear from you soon

Conni - Finally - it's friday . Enjoy your workout.

Annette - I am glad to see you are re-adjusting back to home workouts. Do you have weight based workouts for home too?

Have a good day everyone.

Hi Siobhan,

Welcome Zhaoyang! We are all in a state of continuous improvement here, so feel free to chime in!

Today was Imax 2- I subbed Tracey's Step Sweatfest, and oldie but goodie. 30 minutes of Imax combos, then 30 minutes of steady state stepping. Then I added on the 9 minute Belly Burner Bonus.

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, CeCi I have a bunch of Cathe's weight workout plus a few others. I am not hurting for workouts. LOL!!

I did do free weights today for about 35 min. here at home covering bis, tris, shoulders, back and chest, plus I did about 15 min. of taebo for a little cardio.

I am actually down 3 pounds this morning so I am happy about that.

Have a great weekend, we will be going to see mil this weekend, she is still in the hospital.

Thank you for the welcome.
Thank you to whoever opens the thread every day.

elliptical:
I started on the elliptical five weeks ago and it's surprising how much it has helped already. Wanting to reduce soreness so I can gradually do more Cathe videos, I decreased the resistance and speed but increased the duration (burning the same number of calories according to the machine).

abs:
I did the basic ab workout again but decided not to push as hard this time. I hope to do this every third day, for now. Wow, only 10 minutes for so much benefit! I think the elliptical is a good warmup for this. That's very convenient.

Hi Ladies I'm back. Things are almost back to normal for me. I missed you all. Welcome to the new fitness friends!!

Yesterday I did a 45 min zumba session (wearing my coin skirt of course).

Today I smashed out a ZWOW workout in 15:31. This workout is intense! I'm a sweaty mess. I used 15 lbs db for the squat hops and bent rows; 12 lb db for walking lunges; 25 lbd db for the plank pulls (that's the heaviest db I have...need heavier dbs!) here is the link if you want to check it out; Zuzana Light - ZWOW #34 Beg For It To End - YouTube

My son and his family will be leaving monday morning. They are honeymooning at a near by island. I had the baby for a couple of days then took her to them yesterday because I had a work committment I could not get out of . I enjoyed every minute of time with her but forgot how exhausting it is to care of a 2 yr old.

Have a great evening ladies.

Carmen.
