Good Morning All,

Whoa - heading into Christmas now. Christmas music starts this wednesday on sirius! yeah.

Today I did a short workout. I did another Cathe WB EDT - squats/back + 20 minutes of someone else's Cathe WB Legs workout - a real mish mosh.

I hope you all had a great Hallowe'en night. We still have candy but I will just bring it all into drug treatment. Those guys are always looking for candy.

TLC93 - sorry you missed seeing the kids this year
Linda - slowly on the mend I see - I am struggling myself to keep a cold at bay
Henriette - basketball on hallowe'en night? is Hallowe'en big there?

I hope you enjoyed your rest day elsie. Annette - any more weight loss for you with all these classes you are doing along with your own workouts?


Have a good day everyone.

Hi Ceci, actually I gained some weight but I think it was/is more muscle than fat. I am now concentrating on only eating when I am physically hungry. This is working and I have lost about 2 of the 7 pounds that I have gained, so that is a step in the right direction.

Today I did Cathe's Rock em Sock em Kickbox workout part of the time holding 2 pound walking weights.

Hope everyone is doing well and somebody other than me will have to explain what EDT is to TLC93, I hope that is who asked. I don't do fancy lifting. Oh but I am almost back to my chest press weight from before I hurt myself.

Chest press: 110 pounds for 4 reps

Leg press machine: 197 pounds for 2 sets of 12-16 feet slightly angled and again with feet widely turned out. My legs are definitely slimmer now and toned.

Have a great day!

Hi ladied,

Great workouts.

Annette - those are some impressive weights you can lift!

Best way to explain EDT is with this link:

In it's purest form it's pairing two antagonistic exercises for 15 min, each time doing X reps of each before resting. X being 10, 5 or whatever. I think both I and Siobhan mix it up though, using the basics explained in the book Muscle Logic with other workout dvds or books. I've only been doing it for a few weeks now, so I still have a lot to learn and try before I can really decide what it does for me.

Today I have been feeling yesterday's w/o BIG time! My quads, hamstrings and glutes are so sore!

Elsie - I can work my lower body like this with weights and low impact, as long as there is no running or jumping... So my intervals for the Strong w/o's were KB swings one day and heavy bag work another.

After work I did a Shine Dance Fitness w/o... Another Halloween one, not as much fun as the other Halloween one, but still good. Then late at night, once my son was in bed I did another as the two of us were home alone and I figured low impact moves would be good for my sore body. Now I am not so sure any more as my feet are super tired.

Oh well, time to rest before tomorrow.

Hi girls....I was able to do a short blender shoulder/abs workout last evening.. Yay! Still feeling it in my back/hip but it certainly feels better so
far, actually didn't take any pain meds at all yesterday. Step in the right direction !
