Did some flexibility assessment on my self yesterday and found my right shoulder is very tight. Really going to try and work on it and see if that helps the numbness.

Linda - Nice workout. I just don't even want to talk to you right now about your chins. *green monster* I have the same problem with dips, which is why I can't do them right now. They never used to bother my shoulder until I really started having shoulder issues. When it was at its peak I couldn't do them at all. Now I can do about 15 reps but no weight.
I saw the athletic trainer, Gregg, today and he said my shoulder is a little tight so we should stretch it for a bit. I'm not surprised b/c I haven't done anything for it. We're going to go over the exercises he gave me so that I can start doing the ones I should be doing.
While I was down there two of DH and my buddies from our local bike shop (nice English - sorry Hermia!) came in b/c they were checking all of the spin bikes. I told them one of my cycling partners started training already and they informed me that "everyone" has started training already!!! Yeah, everyone but me! DH told me to wait until Feb. Well, then they said that since I've been doing massive amounts of cardio all off-season I'm good but that I better get on the bike and start working on my cycling muscles. Dang it! What happened to being balanced this year. Now I'm all psycho about it. I feel like I'm all behind already. UGH!!!

OMG! NO! I'm not getting serious until march!
Now I am thinking of using CC's for some of the cardio doing CLX.You mean compared to P90X? So far, and remember I've only done two workouts, I don't think it's as tough (But, you know how workouts get harder the more you do them?) Tomorrow I do one of the cardio workouts, so we'll see how those are. The good thing is, hopefully, I'll be able to complete the whole rotation without burnout or dread. I wanted to start a P90X rotation but I just couldn't commit, so these are perfect for now.

I know! I'm totally screwed. I'm going to start using Spinervals. I just hope my knee is ready. It still hurts when I walk sometimes. Getting old is rough!

I am back trying to read all of the posts I am so relieved and happy that my heartrate monitor had nothing wrong with it I feel lost without it. I had to go back and figure out how long my workouts were to put them in my journal. I am so used to just looking at my hr monitor watch. It is funny how you can get used to relying on something like that.
Dallys, nice pictures of your doggie in the snow. I am glad to hear that you finally recieved your AOS workouts I have switched it up and am doing mine twice a week between my weight workouts. That sounded like a good way to add in some Kettlebell work. You can pick segments of the AOS workouts and do them as an add on too. It always takes me a bit to figure out how tough a workout is going to be too because I never start out quite as heavy as I may go once I know the workout. I am hoping to not have to shovel any snow here this winter
Suz, I am sorry your shoulder is tight again. Mine is finally doing pretty well. I can reach overhead and behind me without feeling tears I have really been working the flexibility stuff and using the Kettlebell Joint mobility segments along with using the foam roller. I think this has all helped. Also think the last 5 weeks using kettlebells has strengthened it some. Now my knee is another story. It is improving, but slowly. I am having to watch certain moves and be careful with pivots and stuff during cardio. I was reading an article at fitnesswithattitude.com about certain exercises that help women build strength and prevent injury. Chins and pullups was one of them. When my shoulder was really at it's worst I couldn't do tricep dips. Monday I did them with a barbell in my lap with no problem so I am really happy
Linda, nice workout. There was a move on the joint mobility of Empire State that Anthony mentions that people with carpal tunnel will really feel it but it is necessary. Did you get that one? He extends his arm out to the side hand facing forward then moves the whole arm back and the fingers move back toward the wall behind you. Then you turn your head and look in the opposite direction. Not sure if I am making sense. This feels good through the whole arm, wrist, hand and front of the shoulder.
Teddy, I hope Beach Body sent out your order. Hope you get the rest that you need. I had to laugh at the going to Apple early and ending up at Bose
Patti, I am the same way with both sugar and starchy carbs. Once I start eating boxed cereal or pasta I am a possessed woman till it is all out of the house.
Debbie, I like the PS and Bodymax 2 mix

Diane Sue - You are the perfect example of how to rehab your own shoulder. You did all of your stretches and everything and it really paid off. I'm going to start doing what I'm supposed to. Gregg wants to go over the exercises he wants me to do tomorrow and I'm going to listen. I tried to go to fitnesswithattitude.com but couldn't find it?
