I am going to attempt some jogging today. A bit of achiness in the knees if I do it, but I am going to do it anyways. Little bit of ache never hurt anyone.
Have a great workout, everyone~

question for runners:
I noticed yesterday on my run that in the last 3K I ran X seconds faster for every 1K, so I was going like this:
1K = 6:49
2K = 6:50
3K = 6:56
4K = 6:30 (I was finally warmed up and found my rhythm)
5K = 6:28
6K = 6:12
Now is this a good thing or a bad thing? I've noticed I always go faster in the last couple of K's of every run without consciously thinking about it. Even in a 10-miler. I do speed up for the last 1K of every run on purpose. Make the tired legs put in some extra effort.

Good morning Dutchie and Charlotte.
Looks like some runners here this morning!! Go easy Charlotte..
Dutchie, I think its great you can speed up in the end. I think it shows after your legs warm up you are able to push. That is awesome!
I absolutley loved Gym Style back, shoulders and biceps!! I also did the core work in Coremax with the stability ball...WOW!!!
Today I am doing the Lower Body premix from Muscle Max and a 5 mile run.
Enjoy the workouts ladies......Carole

...CaroleWhy, thanks Carole. I have this expensive Polar with this feature that records laps. You can tell it how long your lap is. Naturally mine are 1K.
I just didn't know whether I should even out my pace over the whole distance, or whether I should be faster in the beginning slowing down towards the end with a final push before finishing. I'm running almost for a year now, but it's still new to me

Hey everbody,
Dutchie; I think that's totally fine. I used to run races (for fun) and I actually would do intervals during and my time was always much better then running a steady pace.
I am going to do High Step Challenge today. I am so excited it got really good reviews so far...i think I will follow it with a stretchmax.
Hopefully with Hardcore i will be in killer shape for my Jamaica trip in May and 30th b-day in July. 4-pack here I come

Morning all! I intended to do LL this morning, but since my legs were still a little sore from BC I decided to do the Timesaver leg workout. Still a pretty good burn, espcially the SJP barbell squats. Yikes! I did my CTX back and shoulders last night followed by AllStep abs. I have to say that it seems like those good old traditional crunch workouts work my abs the most. I was burning hard last night.
Sandra - I am definitely taking your suggestion and doing the SJP Step/Hi Lo Circuit premix followed by the SB challenge tomorrow. I can't wait! Thanks for the suggestion!
Dutchie - 40 minutes of chest! Wow! Good for you! I'm lucky if I can do half of that, especially if push ups are involved.:7
Hope everyone has a great day!

Hello, Fit Ladies!
Today was Imax 2 for me. I was going to do Chest and Back from CTX, but unfortunatly I ran out of time. I have a dentist appt. this morning. I am praying I don't need a route canal. My back tooth is killing me. So not looking forward to this. Then this evening I have to take my midterm in Torts II. What a day! I will definately be glad when it is over. Hope ya'll have a more exciting day than me!

Hello,
Today is a full body weight workout, then 1 hour stairmaster followed by 1.25 hours of step class. Thursdays are always my biggest exercise day (and my favorite day too), and I am just about to leave for the gym.
Happy exercising!

Good morning, ladies:
PUB for me this morning, up only at my max weight. I can barely type! ;-) I also did some heavy calf raises on the Smith machine.
Tomorrow I am going to do a torturous lower-body workout. I am thinking about doing L&G Xtreme, I haven't done it yet. Anyone have feedback on that? Is it more step work or more floor work or just thousands more sets for everything?

Hi Jes, yes he's still calling. I told him straightforward I wasn't interested. He said he already gathered that cause I never returned his phonecalls. But he'd like to go out with me just the same cause I was fun to be with.... Is it me, or is he really weird? Or does he think I'll change my mind if I go out with him more often...

Good morning!
Barring anything unexpected, I should receive HC today! I am very, very excited about this!
I did SJP this morning. The step portion was great, but I had to modify the hi/lo quite a lot due to my overly sensitive bladder these days. The next time I choose to do SJP, I may have to use the suggestion that I gave Jes, and add some SB step, in place of the hi/lo. I'm very happy that HC doesn't have any hi/lo workouts! SJP is such a fun workout. It was one of the few that I could have enjoyed, when what I'd really rather be doing is a HardCore!
Katie - so glad you appreciate my suggestion! The SB/SJP premixes are really, really great workouts. I think that dvd is one of Cathe's crown jewels. Enjoy!
Dutchie - yes, he's weird alright! Sounds like a Cling-On.
I don't have as much time for a long email today. My parents arrived yesterday, so I am in hostess-with-the-mostest mode. Have a great day, everyone! Enjoy your workouts!

Hello ladies,
I have been working out a little bit later these days. Once I am a little more familiar with the new workouts, I will switch back to early mornings. I am still sore from Kick Max yesterday. I think the leg drills did me in pretty good. I will be doing Lo Max later today. I hope my legs can handle it. I heard there's a lot of leg work in that workout.
Have a great day all!!
