Good Morning and Happy April Fools day :)

Today was 4DS kickbox and abs. Love the abs, especially love there were no planks! After all the other ab work, planks would be hard!}(

Today was the first practice of baseball season for the boys, but it is raining:( They won't be able to practice now till Saturday, they are bummed!!

Gin~ Did you do PLB today? How were all the changes? Much easier with dumbells I'm guessing.

Marcy~ What's on tap for today? It would have been great to meet you!!shame you won't be there in August! Last time we went to Shea stadium, MANY years ago, my FIL took us for these incredible italian ices (a famous place?) by there. Do you know it? Do you go there? I'm not a big fan of ice cream, but I love ices!!!

Have a great day!
BBL,
Deanie
 
Good Morning Ladies!

Yes, today was PLB and SM#3 (with the band). I cannot go as heavy with the weights as Cathe b/c I have back issues.x( My legs could probably handle the heavier weight, but not my back! The floor work with the ball is much harder for me.
I am going to try to send my resume to the school for the K asst. position this week. I need to include references, so I will probably have to tell my director about this. I would rather not talk about it unless it is definite. Oh well.

Deanie--Sorry about the rained out practice. Looking forward to 4ds KB tomorrow. I wonder if Cathe will skip posting a rotation this month, since she is so busy!:eek:

Marcy--I am sending an envelope today. Also including a copy of Fitness magazine. I had 2. I bought one (which I never do) and forgot I ordered a subscription from the girl next door that was selling for school.
Did you watch DWTS? I liked Shannon the best from what I saw. The judges scoring confused me. Not sure I agreed with them.

Happy April Fool's Day!

Good Afternoon

Looks like practice may still be on...the rain has stopped and the sun is out and its warm!

Gin~ Good luck with the K asst. position. For me, the floor work on PLB is one of the hardest! not looking forward to that tomorrow!

Hi Marcy!

Just read some info in the STS forum about the pullup bar Cathe made. Apparently you can only do suppline pullups with it, so I will have to see the price before I buy it. I would only be using it for the chest presses. For pullups I may as well use the bar my DH rigged up for me.

Hi Girls!

Sorry for the late post. I did CIA 2802 with Carlos Arias (Latin Xplosion) today. What fun! Even the cooldown was great. Also good ab section (kind of pilates based with some plank work). So far I'm loving the new CIAs. Traded CIA 2801 though an got Stomp It Step Showdown 2 from Evolution (these are basically European and Australian instructors). Lots of complex step that you know I love. Also traded 2701 - another Gay Gasper and got Willpower & Grace which I'll probably do on Friday. It's kind of a fusion total bodyweight workout done barefoot (which I love). It's got about 25 minutes of core; 17 minutes of cardio; 15 mins. of warmup and 9 mins of cooldown/stretch. It says on the box "think "pilates meets bootcamp".

Did any of you see the April rotation yet? I thought it looked pretty good. Had a lot of stuff I haven't done in awhile.

Deanie - Sorry it was raining for your boys today. It's kind of rainy here today too but tomorrow and Thursday are supposed to be nice. I think the name of the Italian ice place is the Lemon Ice King. I do like Italian ices but I'm a real ice cream fanatic. That's my downfall.}( I don't know if I've ever been there.

Gin - Good luck with the new position. PLB floorwork is always a killer but it's not as bad as it used to be. Thanks for the copy of Fitness magazine. I actually have a subscription but I appreciate the thought. I remember selling magazine subscriptions. I'm so glad my fundraising days are over.

I watched DWTS. This was the first week I really liked Priscilla. I think the tango really suits her. I liked Shannon too. Jason and Kristi were great as always. I felt bad for Marissa. I actually like her and felt bad for her. I didn't think Marlee was as good this week. Steve wasn't too bad and Adam actually improved. I really liked Christian and Cheryl. Mario was really bad this week. He really bored me.

Have to get back to work.

Hi Again!

Deanie--Your weather sounds like TX weather. It changes here every minute! Hope your boy's practice is on again.
I had to tell my director about my thoughts on applying for another job. She wanted me to sign the letter of intent to return next year. She was very sweet about it and understood.

Marcy--I didn't see the April rotation. I'll have to go back and look. Oh well, just give the magazine to someone else.
I was distracted while watching DWTS last night. I got a phone call and I was trying to address the rehearsal dinner invites. Hard to do it all!:)

Take care!
Gin:)
 
Hi guys

Marcy~ My basement ceiling is only 86', so that power tower won't work for me. Acually, I think most won't work because of the low ceiling, that's why my DH ended up building me one. I think the bench Cathe is using is her step with the risers. I wasn't thrilled with Aprils rotation, its okay, but not calling to me (LOL)...are you going to do it? How often do you throw in chin ups/pullups? I'm thinking of throwing them in, but don't know when to do it.....

Gin~We still haven't signed our letters of intent. Its good you were up front with your director. At least she understands why you won't sign yet. enjoy KB tomorrow! Oh-- practice is back on for younger DS, my other son's practice was moved to tomorrow. Practice today is 5:30-7:30. When do they expect kids to eat? My kids are both usually in bed by 8pm! (homework done and showered by 7:30!) Oh well, I am becoming better at rolling with it, but still need to vent:p ;-)

Hi Again!

Deanie - Usually I'll throw in chinups/pullups after a cardio workout or maybe before an upper body workout (before all the other exercises zap my strength). If I do Cathe, I might substitute her 3rd set of back exercises with chins/pulls.

My DD was good at homework but DS was another story. Sometimes I'd be up till 11:00 with him. I guess you're lucky you're home in the afternoons. You have them on a good schedule. I guess maybe their bedtime might have to go to 8:30. Maybe they can have a small meal before practice.

I'm hoping to do David's First Series tomorrow.

I haven't decided whether I'll do a rotation or just kind of make up my own. For this month, I kind of did:

Lower/Abs
Cardio
Upper/Abs
Yoga/Dancing
Total Body

for the first two weeks.

The last 2 weeks have been:

Total Body
Cardio/Abs
Yoga
Total Body/dancing
Fusion
Circuit
