Linda, a question for you..
Hi Linda,
I'm sorry to barge into the thread, but I was hoping you could give me your opinion on a turbulance training question.
I've recently started doing some turbulance training workouts - so far I've done the Bodyweight 1000 6-week program, the Bodyweight Phase 4 4-week program from the 6 month bodyweight manual, and I've just started a new one called Gain Mass Lose Fat which looks like it's going to be a good one. I've seen that you have done a lot of different TT programs and I'm wondering which one(s) you found to be most effective as far as gaining muscle/strength?
Thanks so much for your time,
Doreen

Hi all. Still in pain. I was so bad when I got home yesterday I couldn't even stand up straight. WTF??? 
I used a tennis ball behind my shoulder blade to try and rub out the knot and that made it feel a lot better. I was ok when I got up this morning but now it's starting to hurt all over again. That and a headache isn't a good thing. Hope this heals quick.
Char - Sorry to hear you are in pain as well. Geez, what is up with all this??? Hope you feel better soon!
I am also keeping my eats clean because of this and because I'm not working out that much until Monday. I forgot to post my eats from yesterday but I ate very well and drank lots of water. I'll post my eats for today later on when I figure out what I'll be having.

Good Morning Maniacs!!!
Today I am just gonna try to live in denial and try to get my house cleaned and not think about the burning discomfort running down my arm. Trap area is very tight on the right side, but I am going back to Chiropractor on Thursday. My knees hurt as well and doc says my lower body is just out of alignment and causing havoc to neck area. WTH>>>I feel old..at least temporarily. Still going to workout abs every other day and do some cardio and then try to ease back into weights as soon as I feel I can. I just hope this doesn't go on for much longer as it did before.
Debbie,
I am going to get a deep massage here soon. I have an appt for next week, but trying to get in sooner. I wish you would do something similiar as I think it would help greatly. I still think a chiropractor would help very much, if you would just try. I might even go back to that Reiki healer as well. It can all get expensive though. I just want you to get some relief.

Teddygirl...show off with your STS!! Mine comes today
Char and Debbie - sorry to hear you are both injured! Hope you feel better soon. My back started to flare up again yesterday but the pain is gone today, thankfully.
Char - today is housecleaning day for me too, and I am going to do upper body at some point. Is Bobby still doing better?
Debbie - I did BC Abs Sunday night and yowzer, it hurts! Clearly, if you were not sore, you work your obliques much more than I do...this has shown me that I need to focus there more. Those moves just hit them completely differently than others do.
Patti - I saw that you got the pull up bar. I have one too and love it. Did you get the arm things for abs? I finally ordered mine and am so glad that I did.
Linda - how are you feeling?
I have only been on here sporadically and not at all yesterday so don't know what I missed - will try to catch up later.
Oh, Sonya - I saw your pics. Awesome, girl.

Hey all! I feel old today- did CTX upper body split and it was OK. I didn't really pay attention to how many stinking reps she does when I was figuring out what weights to use so I had to drop a few of the weights a bit lower. She moves fast- really burns out the muscle group. I had a struggle since I got a tetanus / whooping cough booster in the shoulder muscle yesterday. Man it hurts! I've had better workouts, but it wasn't bad.
Charlotte and Debbie: I'm sorry you're both injured- do what you can and rest. Good for you on keeping the eats clean, Debbie. I can tend to get depressed when I am injured and sometimes food is the first thing to go out the window. It's a terrible cycle- good for you for avoiding that trap.
Teddy: You go on your STS! You jumped right in, huh? I got mine yesterday and watched the first workout. It looks tough and fun. Those guys are BUILT, no?
Shana: I didn't get the ab straps yet, but should do that. I am going to have to use the bands to get in the full # of reps for STS, but that's OK. I am done with BFFM, except for a few articles at the end. I loved it- so informative. I've been implementing the principles somewhat. I'm trying to figure out what helps me out and is still practical for my life. So far, just eating protein with every meal, eating 5 meals a day and eating good carbs has been great. I've leaned out in the past 2 weeks, so no complaints.
OK, gotta go pick up DD from preschool. Later amigas!

I hope you all have a great day. Another busy one for me. Animal shelter meeting after work. Cardio after I get home. My legs were kinda fried so I wanted to give them a rest in between working them.

Teddygirl - I meant to tell you I'm glad to see your breakdown's of the STS workouts. Interesting stuff. I hear Cathe rushes through these workouts like she does all the others. What the heck is up with that? I just don't get it. Rest breaks are a good thing!

Hi to everyone else!
I will start posting my stats next weeks, just trying to get a feel for the workouts. Plus, I need to retype all the workouts so I have in my puter
Debbie/Toasty: Have you tried soaking in a HOT tub of Epson salt? It draws out the soreness, works good for me
SONYA: LOL Wow, Woman, looked at your pictures, you are one lean machine. I’m very impress with your meals.
Next week, I’d like to order Newport, that’s was the one I wanted. After I order it, and purchase a few kettlebells, going to cut back on my spending.
I have spent enough money a few days ago, I ordered Cathe stepper, I tell you. I’m done I wish I was rich.................

Sonya, those pics are great; I like the partially in the shadows one in particular. It looks like something you'd see in a magazine. =)
I havent posted for a few days....have injuries escalated since I've been gone? Dang, I sure hope you all start feeling better; this does not sound like fun!
Didn't really work out over the weekend, although I got in abs and a bit of yoga on Friday before my best friend called. Then I had to rush out to get to my bf's and take him to his laser eye surgery appt. It went really well for him, but it was pretty creepy to watch on the monitor! Then I stayed with him all weekend, so no access to my stuff.
Monday seems to be my tired day. I did MTV Yoga as I didn't feel like doing too much. Tonight I'll do more. Hopefully I'll have more energy. I have been trying to drink more water.
Well, I found out the person I bought the gym styles from off the swap is a bad trader and several other people are having a problem with her too. I filled out a resolution thing through paypal, but I"m sure I'll have to escalate it to an actual claim.

Hey Ladies,
Char & Debbie - Are to here about your trouble. Hope it resolves soon.
Teddy - Seems like way too many leg exercises to me. But thanks for posting, it is interesting to see.
Suz & Sonya - I keep forgetting to tell you both what awesome pictures!
Doreen - I pm'd you
Hi to all to others!
Okay, today I do have DOMS from Providence. Mainly in my traps. Ouch! And some in my shoulders and bi's. Got up a little late this morning, than got side tracked when my coffee maker wouldn't work. I had to cut my workout short, so I did the first premix from Amy's In The Ring, workout was 57 minutes and I burned 470 calories.
BTW, Hands have been getting better each night since last massage! So I am hopeful.

Hey all! Haven't worked out yet. Just not wanting to in the mornings lately, just loving my cushy warm bed. I plan on a cardio coach and some kettlebells later.
What is up with all the injuries? Maybe just a fluke? I'm injury free right now thank goodness. Just get tight muscles between my shoulder blades every now and then.
Hermia- that's awful you got involved in that bad trader deal. So frustrating. Hope it get's resolved.
Debbie- I've read that Cathe rushes through STS too. I don't get it.
Teddy- I'm glad you are enjoying STS. That looked like great leg workout you did.
Sonya- I need to get something like Pace weights too. A 5lb jump can just be to much.
Suz- Great job upping the weights in your leg workouts!
Char- Have fun cleaning.
Shana- You'll love your arm straps. I have them and it makes hanging ab work so much better.
Patti- Ouch on the tetanus shot! Congrats on leaning out too.
Linda- Yeah on the DOMS!
Gotta get back to work....

I got up at 4:45 this morning but just seemed to take forever to get started. Then my granddaughter arrived right at 6. She wanted to share my bench and I kept having to move her(got a workout doing that) then I gave her her own bench which lasted all of 5 minutes. Mine looked more fun :lol: I started with Empire State joint mobility and did it twice, then I did 4DaySplit Low intensity step skipping the shoulders and calves, and doing the abs, followed by 10 minutes solution shape, tone, and reshape with the figure 8 abs segment, and followed the LIS stretch. After I returned from dropping the girls at their the schools I did Low Impact Circuit w/up and first two combos and blasts followed by the abs, the Amy's Step Challenge 3 abs with the kettlebell, and stretch. Finished by foam rolling a little. Total calories burned was 704. I just got my STS dvd's Looking forward to starting. Wish the cover wasn't carboard because I really don't see that holding up over time. I will cover with clear contact or find other holders eventually. Taking the book with me when I pick up the grandchildren so I can look it over. Still not sure if I will be able to even do legs on STS. I may be skipping them for awhile. Just have to be really carefull about twisting my knee at all
Breakfast was oatmeal and yogurt
lunch was a baked sweet potato, salad w/ fat free dressing and tuna. Weighed that 5 oz can of tuna after I drained and rinsed it and there was 2 oz left
Charlotte, sorry you are having problems. Knees are causing neck problems??
Debbie, Hope you get that shoulder and headache under control quick. If that is the same cashew chicken stew from Oxygen it is really yummy
BBL got to run and take care of the grandbaby.
Looking forward to starting. Wish the cover wasn't carboard because I really don't see that holding up over time. I will cover with clear contact or find other holders eventually. Taking the book with me when I pick up the grandchildren so I can look it over. Still not sure if I will be able to even do legs on STS. I may be skipping them for awhile.
