Welcome to our check in Allee Sue! Tell us a little bit about yourself? I'm a wife, mother of 3 sons ages 23, 21 and 15, and grandma to twin 3 yr old girls! I work full time and am a Cathlete to boot. I've had the luxury of going on 2 Cathe Roadtrips, one in NJ and the other in San Diego.

Good Morning Ladies,
I woke up at 3:13am ...not fun. Of course I was sound asleep when the alarm went off at 5:20. Intensity was not my best performance this morning but I got it done!
Bootcamp was circuits last night, similar to a BR w/o. We had 4 stations with 2 timed exercises at each station and we repeated them 4 times before moving on to the next station.
1. high knee jump ropes, pullups
2. burpees w/push up & jump, tricep dips or overhead presses
3. one long jump forward into a low squat, 2 jumps back, bicycle abs
4. jump lunges, ???? (I can't remember-oh no)
Wendy-your rest day is well deserved. I've only been getting in exercise 5 days per week recently. Some days I do get 2 w/o's in though.

Hi ladies,
Planning on going in to work for a short while in the morning and then working from home the rest of the day (and cooking). I'm off Thurs/Friday and plan on doing some Black Friday shopping if I can find what I'm looking for. I downloaded the Black Friday app for my droid...playing with that tonight so I can utilize it's full potential!
Laura-saw your football pic on FB, glad you had such a good time! So happy DSIL is recovering from her surgery. She is so lucky to have you in her life. Bet you had fun with DN too!! My booty is still a bit sore from TB too. I was expecting much worse too, since I struggled through the darn w/o.
Allee-everyone has to start somewhere, we all did too. We are all working on improving ourselves, so come kick some butt with us! I don't have basic step, probably only one of a few Cathe's that I don't own. Do you have the HIIT w/o's? You might like those, they are short but intense. I tend to use DWP the most since it doesn't use the step.

Good Morning Ladies.
This morning I did 2 BR's back to back. The first was 15 mins of intervals and the second was a timed work out that took me 13-14 mins to complete. Good stuff!

and

Then I got into work and a coworker had brought in dunkin donuts. I normally wouldn't partake but I figured, hey, why not start celebrating a day early and grabbed one!? LOL
Diana:: Nice BC class!!! Glad you got to WFH y'day for most of the day.
Allee:: I used to have Basic Step. It's what I used to help me learn how to do step aerobics. I sold it but do wish I still had it at times .l... Oh well.
Laura:: Best wishes for a speedy recovery to your DSIL!!!!!

Hi Ladies,No workout to report for today. No reason, just didn't do it. I do plan on w/o tomorrow though. I'm busy making desserts tonight so shouldn't be an issue to w/o tomorrow.
Laura-sorry work is so busy. It was pretty slow in our office today and they let us go around 2:30. I will look through the ads to see if there is anything I need to get. Hopefully my nephew's wife will be going with me and maybe my SIL too! It should be fun.
Allee-I'm more of a jump right in and do as much as I can kind of person. I love chalene but don't have turbofire...wish I did though! Why don't you try a couple weeks of P90X/turborfire and see what you think. If its not working you can always change it up. Wendy is pretty good with rotations so if you want to share what DVD's you have she could probably put a rotation together for you.
Wendy-hope you don't mind me offering your rotation help to Allee
Nice job with the BR w/o's this morning!!!Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Good Morning and Gobble Gobble to you, Ladies!
Ok so what was I thinking!?!? I did the Cardio Supersets Extreme Premix this morning! OH.MY.GAWD.!!!! I hadn't even done the darn work out as produced yet! Just two 30 min premixes and I decided to take THIS on! WOW! What a work out! Perfect pre-Thanksgiving meal calorie burn! YEOWZAS! No guilt about what I eat/drink now! So the dvd claims this premix is 64 mins long but according to my body and my clock (unless I am TOTALLY losing my mind!), this work out was much more like 74 minutes!!! Any opinnions here?
Diana:: So what desserts did you prepare y'day? What's on tap for a work out today? Nope, don't mind your offering Allee my rotation help at all. I'm here to help my girls!
Laura:: So you will do TWO work outs today huh? NICE! You are dedicated! Can't wait to hear what you did!!!
Allee:: Where are your family and friends? Nobody local you can celebrate with today? I thought I might be alone today as well and I was actually OKAY with it but now that I have plans to go out to eat with my mom I am looking forward to it. As for movies, I could go on for days if I opened up my dvd cabinet! LOL Drop Dead Fred, When Harry Met Sally, Brighton Beach Memoirs ,Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (original), Milo and Otis , Shawshank Redemption, all of the Transformer movies, Lord of the Rings Trilogy if you have like 2 straight days! LOL, Shrek, Marley and Me, Wedding Crashers...should I go on? LOL As you can see I have a wide range of tastes.
Have a happenin' Turkey Day and I'll be back tmrw....from work. BOOH!

Good Morning...well not for me since I'm at work but hopefully for the rest of you!
This morning's work out was a BR called Abs Now that was a time challenge and it went like this::
*Lunge Back & Press Up-50 reps
*Super Girl Plank-50 reps
*Sumo Squat-50 reps
*Reptile Plank-50 reps
*Jump Lunge-50 reps
*Santana Plank-50 reps
*Jump Forward and 2 jumps back-50 reps
*Mini Squats-50 reps
This took me about 20 mins to complete but then I added on
*Jump Rope for 50 reps
*Knee and leg raises on the dip station for 50 reps
which brought me to a 25 minute work out.
That's all for now...I'll post more later if anyone shows up today....
