We had a wonderful time and let me tell you, the DOMS has set in already! Whew, HB, those Gliders were killers! We started the day by meeting for a two hour workout which included me leading Hi/Lo routines, a circuit workout of walking lunges, walking plies and squats, followed by HB teaching us how to "Glide" and wrapped up the session with stabilty ball work which included LB work, AB work and Pilates-type exercise. WHEW! Then, we CRAWLED :)7) downstairs to change clothes to go eat! :) :) :) We enjoyed a nice meal together at an Amish restaurant and topped off the day with dessert at my house. It truly will be a very memorable day in my life. We laughed lots and had a great time. Darlene, HB & Lorrie, it was such great fun spending the day with you all and I look forward to the next time.

Deb, you guys look like you had so much fun. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. I am hoping someday there will be a California get together. You guys worked out hard!

Debbie,

This question is kind of off topic but I am originally from Ohio and when I was looking at your picture trail I noticed someone who looked so familiar to me. Was Dave (who I am assuming is your husband) on the news around Cleveland? I saw that picture and either he is who I think he is or he looks a lot like the guy who I always saw on the news when I lived in Ohio. Sorry for the question, I just couldn't get it out of my head. I'm glad you guys had fun with your GTG.

Toni
 
Thanks Susan & Carole! We DID have lots of fun! Wish you could have joined us!

Hi Toni! Yes, Dave is my husband but No, he is not on the news but I bet you are talking about the news anchorman Ted Henry??? He has been told in the past he looks like him. Funny thing...I think he looks the the previous news anchorman, Tim White! What part of Ohio were you from?

Hey, Debbie. Thanks for sharing the pics with us! Looks like you had a great time. I'm curious.....is that one BIG room in your house (the one with the high chairs in the corner)? LOL

Gayle
 
Thanks Tammy! We did have a blast! Gayle, I WISH my workout room was THAT big! Ha! No, actually it is the room at the church I teach my aerobics. It is the fellowship hall where they hold their dinners. The pic of HB doing push-ups is MY workout room which, as you can tell, is unfinished since we just moved here. It is still a block basement as you can see in some of the backgrounds. It was the first thing my DH noticed...he said, "NICE background!" LOL! I plan to post pix when it is all finished as we have some nice plans for it! :) Thanks all!

I'll second that - we DID have a blast! And I would encourage all you fellow Ohioans to join in the next one because - if you're not there we talk about you! (Ohhh - were your ears burning yesterday???) LOL! Seriously - even though there were only 4 of us we had such a great time getting to know one another. Mama Deb - THANKS again for pulling this all together. We Ohioans are very lucky to claim you as one of our own.

HB - I've gotta' use more of your moves - you are one killer instructor. Darlene - I'm so glad you made it up. I'll be thinking of you and sending good thoughts you're way!

BTW - you ladies inspired me so much yesterday - and as you know I'm starting P90X tomorrow that I had DH build me a chin up bar last night. To my surprise I could easily do 2 (hey - more than I thought) chin-ups - but couldn't do any pullups. Do I need to work on lat and back strength?!

Thanks again ladies - you rock!

Lorrie
 
Debbie, thanks for posting pictures. It looks like you guys had a blast. I'll tell you what, I don't ever wanna mess with HB. WOW!! HB, you have incredible arms! You all look amazing and I hope to make it to the next GTG.

Michele:)
 
Thanks for the compliment! It's all from push-ups and chin-ups. My arms never looked anything like that till I ditched the weights. Same for my legs - they improved 200% after I ditched the weights.
Just Do It! :)
 
I LOVE workouts with cheap workout toys! And I loved that dessert! we must do it again soon! Next time we can do some med ball exercises, too.
Just Do It! :)
 
Sounds like a fabulous time. Its nice to hear all about it. All of you look wonderful!Thanks for sharing.

Hey HB, so what DO you do? What's a typical workout for you? You really do look amazing!

Michele
 
I do lower body 5 days a week (sort of like the Freestyle method of training) with pilates 3 days and med ball two days. Sometimes on the pilates days, if I'm training someone, I'll do walking lunges with them. I rarely pass up an opportunity to do walking lunges! Upper body has been 2 days a week with push-ups, chin-ups and dips, but I'm going increase the number of days per week to every other day and decrease the # of push-ups I do. For lower body work I use a 10# med ball, and for pilates we use Gliders, rings and stability balls.
Just Do It! :)
 
Thanks everyone! HB took pix too so hopefully she will share them with us. (HB, I can put them on my PT if you want.) Lorrie, you're very Welcome! I had a blast! Thank YOU for the book and Easter Bunny! That was so sweet! Michele, I hope you make the next one too. It was a great day! HB, I will E-mail you the dessert. Easy, but I agree...sooo good! Thanks everyone! I hope we have a bigger turnout next time around. Hmmm, wonder when that will be? SOOON, I HOPE! :)
