Deanie--How is the X rotation coming along?

Marcy--Dancing with the Stars is on tonight, right?

Tracee--Have you been able to workout being so busy at work?

Have a great day!

Good Morning Gin and all who come after!

Today was PS chest, shoulders, tri. and I added abs since I had time. A great workout. there is a big difference between GS and PS! I love GS, but it has so many reps! I like that PS, you do 10 reps (getting ready for the X) :) I really enjoyed the workout!

I went shopping for some spring clothes yesterday at Ann Taylor petites. I have to share....I bought a pair of Capri's in a size 0!!!!(vaniety sizing?) They actually fit. I usually wear my clothes a little baggy, and my DH said he liked the way they fit! (I bought them just because they were a size 0!- I got a kick out of it!) ha ha! I bought some other pants in a size 2, actually I like them looser. I had a very fun time shopping, and since my DH came with me, I ended up with more than if I would have gone myself :)

Don't laugh- I actually made some last minute changes: (day 3 week 1 added substitutions so we didn't keep doing the same excersise over and over, then couldn't remember if we were supposed to be doing the same exersise over and over!!!! :eek: x(

Hi all!

Today was KPC for me. I had a great workout. Did all the pikes.

Deanie - Good work on PS. How many reps does she do in comparison to GS? I don't have PS but am still considering getting it. I have an Ann Taylor right in my building so I'm in there quite often. I usually wait for the sales (they have them all the time). I never pay full price for their clothes. And yes, I think they do have vanity sizing. I told you about the skirt I tried to buy. I tried on everything from a 6 to a 0 and it was still too big. I did buy a size 2 over the holidays from New York & Company. You're right, it does feel nice to buy such a small size. Before I started working out again, I was a size 10. I printed out your rotation but I need time to look it over and I'll post back later.

Gin - Yes, Dancing with the Stars is on tonight. Tomorrow night one couple gets eliminated. Looks like you're going to get to meet Jennifer on the road trip.

Tracee - Hope you're not working too hard and you got to workout today.

Have a good day everyone. BBL.

Good afternoon ladies.

I am still able to get my workouts in even though work is busy. Thank you for always encouraging me. Today I did GS C&T. I needed to get an ab workout in there too but I ran out of time. I don't think I work my core enough and I need to concentrate on doing that I think.

Hope you guys have a great day. We're enjoying a nice stretch of warm weather right now and it's wonderful.

Tracee
 
Good afternoon!

Okay, I am confused- you all are doing different workouts today- Are you all doing Debbies rotation? :)

Marcy- Don't you love the feeling of doing all the pikes in KPC! The ab work is great in that dvd. In PS there are 2 or 3 sets and Cathe does only 10 reps in each set. In GS I think there are 3 sets and she does 16 reps. I really like PS, it has some different weight work and its a nice change. Cathe actually uses lower weights in PS than in GS. If its in your budget I would get it. Last year I did a fun rotation: one body part a day, using GS/PS and 30 min. cardio 5 days and legs one day. I got good results.

Tracee-I'm glad your still able to get in your workouts. This must be a very hecktic time of year for you.

Good Afternoon!

Deanie--My short post this morning was probably due to my being in a hurry to get to work! Size O?? I couldn't fit my big toe in a size zero!!:p How many reps will we be doing with each exercise with the X rotation? We are all doing Debbie's Rotaion, but I guess we have had to mix the days up a bit to fit our own schedule. I am doing Low Max tomorrow.

Marcy--WTG on the pikes!! They are fun!!

Tracee--Glad you are still able to workout. I did GS C&T yesterday and am sore today. I think you are working your core when doing other exercises, you just don't realize it. Am I right, ladies?

It is pouring down rain here and I would like to just stay at home, but I WILL go to yoga in a couple of hours.
