Daily Check-in
Good morning! I had a delightful birthday retreat Friday. I feel refreshed and renewed once again. I took naps, read Ephesians, put on praise music and danced, dared to dream, prayed, pondered, rested, and relaxed.
I checked Cathe’s blog as soon as I got home Saturday night. Wow! I love the outfits and the colors. The set looks nice and bright too. I am so inspired by the way Cathe has stayed in such amazing shape while recovering from an injury and surgery. The whole crew is radiantly beautiful. According to her blog, Body Max 2 was filmed Friday from early in the morning until 10:30 p.m. This gives me a new respect for what they endure to produce these workouts. Wow! I am praying that Cathe and the girls stay strong and healthy. I hope Cathe gets plenty of rest and does not hurt her knee.
I jogged on my rebounder Saturday night and started previewing Muscle Max. It looks really good for a weight training workout. Based on my preview, it appears that I will be able to lift heavier than I usually do.
As a result of my retreat, I have a new game plan for my rotation. I am planning a challenging Cathe rotation for 3 weeks followed by a week of fun workouts. My Hardcore Series rotation will start on Labor Day and will include more weight training than usual. I received my Dynaband from Collage Friday, so I have everything I need now.
I rested yesterday, and this will be a recovery week for me. I am planning to take on my friend’s cardio boot camp class after work just for the challenge. It will be interesting to see much fitter I am since I last attempted this class 8 weeks ago. I am planning to jog in the pool, walk at the lake, or bounce on my rebounder the rest of the week. I also need to finish previewing the Hardcore Series workouts and commit to a 3-week rotation. Last week was a light workout week for me, but I listened to my body and have no regrets.
I keep looking at the pictures in Cathe’s blog. Body Max 2 is the one I was least looking forward to, but that is changing fast. I am so excited about this one after seeing the pictures and reading the updates. Cathe and the girls look amazing, the brown and turquoise outfits are beautiful on them, and I love the bright set with big windows. It appears that the set has a clean and uncluttered look. I like that!
I love Cathe’s lower body workouts, so I am really looking forward to Butts and Guts. I am not wild about the name, but it could have been Butt Max! :7 It looks like it will have some creative and new (to me) moves. I love Cardio and Weights and expect to love Low Impact Circuit. I do not know what to think about Drill Max. It is the mysterious one of the bunch. I have no clue what to expect, and I am anxiously waiting for an update on that one. It is interesting that this is the only one that has not been mentioned in the blog.
Cathe and Chris are giving a lot of forethought and attention to premixes this time. I like that too! I am excited about the bonus footage and special premixes! I knew that these would be worth the wait!
After my Bible study this morning, I checked the blog first thing. I love, love, love the black and red outfits. Wow! Everyone looks so amazing in this series. In my opinion, Cathe and crew look better than ever. I love this look!
I am so excited! :7
Blessings,
