Cathlete
Morning Ladies -

This morning I did Core Cardio (P90 Masters) followed by about 10 minutes of gliding. I ran in between segments to make it harder and played my own music. I also did yoga last night. I did Rainbeau Mars Sacred Yoga for Beginners. It was a very slow moving yoga practice that was good for evening. I wanted to add yoga on this morning but I didn't have time and I'll probably be doing yoga Saturday & Sunday.

Marietta- I only have the Gliding DVDs by Mindy right now. The other ones I ordered by her on supposed to be shipping the first week of April. She is pretty much the same intensity level as Cathe and I think most people agree on this, but some don't like her because she is a bit chatty and hyper. She seems fine to me. She's very professional in the Gliding DVDs and didn't irritate me at all.

NRG Fitness - I checked out this website and I think I want to buy these. The only problem is that I can't view any clips cuz my computer is so slow. Do you guys think they look good? Maybe I should get these instead of any more Mindy ones.

Charlotte - I finally got that video to load last night (took an hour on my computer!!). I'm curious to know if you liked the song though? or is this one that my DH is going to mad cuz I like it? (cuz of the F* word -- which of course they have to bleep out on the radio). I do love tattoos, but I admit he has quite a few! Anyway, I can't wait for this to come out on April 11th. It seems like it's gonna rock hard. I read somewhere that they have 3 new members and the lead singer is newly sober.

Anyone interested in any free yoga downloads? That Eion Finn that I love (he does the Power Yoga for Happiness DVD that I highly recommend), has 3 free downloads (Tragically Hips, Winter Session and Yoga Quickie) on his site www.VancouverYoga.com. I'm highly upset cuz it took 2 hours to download one on my computer and I can't get it to work. I'd be willing to pay someone if they could download these for me and burn them on CD. I need a new computer. I don't even think my burner is working any more...let alone all of the other problems I have with it.

Diana Sue - when you download an MP3 file, where do you save it on your hard drive so that you can burn it on a CD?

I'll quit babbling now. Have great workouts. I'll try to check in from work, but it's pay day and it will be very busy.
 
Good Morning Maniacs!

My legs are super fried today and I didn't want to get out of the bed this morning! I am just going to work triceps/biceps and shoulders today. Grocery shopping later.

Lora,

I shamefully do like the song also. LOL! However, I am not a fan of tattoos though, for myself, if others want them, that is their choice.

Hey to..... Dallas, Diane Sue, Nicole, Marietta, Sabrina, Terri and anyone else I might have missed!

Hope everyone has great sweaty workouts today!

Charlotte~~
 
Morning ladies!

I jumped on my mini trampoline for 20 minutes last night. I was tired from cleaning all day.

Lora-Thanks for the link. I downloaded the workouts. I will be happy to try and burn them to a disc for you. I have not tried it yet on this computer. lol It only took me about 5 minutes to download them so it is not a problem. I will get some discs later and I will let you know when to expect it. Email me your address. Does Eoin have only the two DVD's?

Charlotte-Try not to hobble around too much on those fried legs. lol

I have to get the boys to finish getting ready for school, I will be back later. Have a great day ladies!
 
Sabrina - here's my address. I don't mind putting in here - the only thing that could happen is I could get mail!

Yes, Eion only has the 2 DVDs. They are excellent. The PY4H has 6 premixes on it that range from 30 to 80 minutes. Don't let him fool you with that soft spoken manner of his, as he is pretty advanced. I did Cardio Coach 5 (70") and did Magically Hips off of his one DVD and had a hard time getting through it. He says the many hip openers in this premix are good for slowing down the aging process!! He is also currently working on a DVD (that's what the pic's are on his site). Him & Tilak Pyle are my 2 new fave men yogi's and Rainbeau MArs & Shiva Rea are my 2 new fav women.

Charlotte- I'm glad you like the song. I don't feel so ashamed. I think you'd like the Chili Peppers "Sir Pscycho Sexy" also. My DH says it's too much for him LOL! As far as tattoos, I"ve always wanted a couple (when I was younger) but never did it. I do like them on a man though. I think they can be sexy! Josh's happen to be a little bit much though, but then he's a rocker dude.

It's been CRAZY here already. Gotta run. My boss went for a quick appt. and I've been running around nonstop already.

Hey ladies - I'm the guinea pig. I ordered the NRGfitness DVDs. I paid $15 for shipping & tax. I left a comment in the notes section that this was a bit high! I also asked about an additional discount for Videofitness.com members (cuz I know someone else asked her) and she said she had someone else ask her from VF but this just went on the market and she hasn't done anything about it......whatever that means.
 
Sabrina,

Another one who likes to jump! LOL! I couldn't resist and did some more jumping moves for about 1 hour to some of my favorite songs. I will be wabbling the rest of the day though. x( I showed hubby some of my new jumping moves and he just smiled. He is worried I am going to hurt myself. LOL! I feel like I am on a different planet at times as no one else wants to jump with me so that is why I love talking to you all here. You understand, don't you? LOL!

Lora,

My DH likes all the music I listen to as well. He might think buckcherry would be too much for him, dunno. LOL! I am sure he would like the video though.:eek:

Ya'll are some shopping women here! Good golly, everytime ya'll are spending your money on more videos. Speaking of which, I promised my kids Harry Potter this time and I want to get Walk the Line too. Maybe I will grab a set of 40# db's too while I am out. ;)

Charlotte~~
 
TGIF Ladies!

I am going to do Gymstyle legs today and a power strike workout and some abs. I have no plans for tonight so will get in a SS workout then. Dad sounded worse yesterday but I think it is because he did too much. He neds to rest more and I told him so!

Lora-I am excited to se what you think of the nrg workouts. I can't seem to get the yoga.s to download either and I have a fast connection.

Sabrina-Could you hook me up too :) I will send you a surprise if you do :)

Charlotte-I loved Walk The Line when I saw it! Have fun shopping :)

Marietta-When is your bd? I see you are getting the nrg workouts as well. Let us know what you think :)

Diane Sue-Have a great wekend with your family.

Dallas-How are you doing. You leave next weekend right?

Christine-Did you get your new workouts. Did you do one last night?

Susan-What you up to today?

Nicole-What workouts does Susan have for you today :)

I will be back later!

Terri
 
I am back!

Charlotte-I do love to jump. I started a couple weeks ago jumping on the bed. DH got after me and told me I was setting a bad example for the boys. Party pooper! He was right though because they would think it would be ok for them to jump on their beds too. He brought in our mini trampoline out of the garage and told me to jump on it. LOL! He was being a sweetie about it too.

Terri-I will send you a copy too. They are audio and not video, just so you know. I hope you dad rests and that he is ok. Looks like you have a great workout planned for today.

I will let you ladies know when I get the cd's in the mail. Do you want them all on one or seperate? (I will have to see if they would all fit on one).
 
Sabrina - I'd prefer mine on 3 separate, but whatever's easiest for you is fine. I guess you could just skip to the next one, right? I don't know how that would work. I can't wait to get these. I'm really excited about Tragically Hips, cuz I love the premix DVD "Magically Hips". I also read on VF that the Winter Session and really good and who can't use the Quickie Workout? I know I'll use that a lot.

Charlotte - yes, my DH likes hard rock but some of the stuff I like is a bit much for him. He likes stuff that the Lyrics have more meaning...like Creed and Shinedown....I like it all, the good, bad and the ugly. He also doesn't like that I watch Nip/Tuck! Party pooper! I AM an adult! The only reason I have $$$ is from selling on Ebay
 
Hi everyone,

I started to workout this morning and felt too hungry to continue, so I went to get my oatmeal and just moving too quickly I slammed my thumb in the cabinet and split it open real bad. x(
I think I need a couple of stitches. There was a lot of blood. It wasn’t good. I went pale and collapsed to my knees. I swear I could have passed out if me kids weren’t there. I got the bleeding to stop, so I should be ok, right?

Terri, which Power Strike video do you have? I have the first one. It’s OK. I like Cathe’s style SO much more.

Sabrina, when I traveled a lot with my job and didn’t feel like going to the hotel gym, I’d jump on the bed. It’s fun!! I couldn’t do it home. Our bed it really high. I had to use a step stool to get in when I was pregnant. Hahaha

Lora, how’s your boss? Hmmm, funny SHE has an apt. during work hours? What’s up with that?

Charlotte, I love it when I can tell I’ve worked hard from a workout the next day! How many rest days do you take a week?

I’ll be back later. I hope I do some sort of workout today. I’m not up to anything right now. ;(


Susan C.M.
 
Lora-I can do three disc's. I just wanted to see what you prefered first. How do you know what the moves are since these are audio? Do you think he has done them on his DVD's? I better figure them out first before I try these. I will have no idea what he is talking about. lol!

How about you Terri? Separate or all on one?
 
OUCH Susan! That sounds painful. If you need stitches maybe you should go to the doctor!

I have powerstrike 1 and 2. I like them because it is a change from cathe. Every now and then I need that. I hope you feel better.

Teri

Sabrina-either way is fine with me! Thanks so much.
 
Susan,

I am putting a rotation together for myself. I generally like to take 2 rest days, but I may just start going for just one a week. I know better then to over work my upperbody. I always get the best results when I go three days between working upper parts. Legs? Well I got to figure out what will work for me. Stick with some ideas I have and I will see what happens.

Charlotte~~
 
OUCHIE!! That sounds really sounds painful. I think maybe you should have it looked at too.

Jumping on the bed is way better than jumping on the trampoline! LOL! That is funny that you had to get on a stool to get in to bed Susan. haha

I put 20 minutes into the calculator on the Sprakpeople site and it says I only burned 56 calories. UGH!

Terri-3 is no problem. I will get to them later this evening. I have to meet DH at 3:30 to go to some thing for three guys he works with (promotion party) and they are having free pizza and beer. I will take the pizza!! Yum! I don't think it lasts long and then we are driving home. I will do them then, hopefully. lol

Sabrina
 
Good morning Fitness ladies! I'm tired today. DH got home last night and after 2 days of having the bed to myself, it was weird having him back. :p I did get my videos, but my legs are fried from Legs and Glutes (why does Legs and Glutes kill me when GS Legs does not? I don't get it, but it's every time) and when I saw the lunges in SIM and EFM I basically said, "Hmm, Saturday will be a really good day to start these!" I ended up doing PUB Bicep, Winsor Pilates Advanced Body Slimming and The Body Body Pilates workout from Giaim. Oddly enough I lost an inch right under my bust. I can't figure out if it's from Power Strikes (the lat work), the Tracie Long Series or from the planks I've been doing. I didn't lose anywhere else (not even my bust - go figure).

Lora -Do let me know what you think about the NRG's. They looked interesting! Although I'm in the no-whooping camp and she whooped up a storm! Holy cow.

Susan - OUCH! Go get that checked out! Better safe than sorry! And I LOVE my Power Strikes. Possibly because they are much more martial arts oriented and I've taken Tae Kwon Do and Krav Maga before. I really like the moves. Yeah, the video quality pretty much sucks, but...

Charlotte - I'm with you on the legs! My are fried as well. My butt is SOOO sore, and my knees are aching. I think it's been too many new moves.

Sabrina - we just had to replace DD's bed because she did a lot of jumping on it... Okay, so it was a Scan Design bed and not top quality, but still - you should be able to jump on beds!!

Terri - Yeah - I did get them, but only did the pilates - as I said above. I'm going to start them tomorrow. I'll let you know! :)

Dallas - I'll bet you're running around going crazy trying to get ready for Disney - eh? I'd be sooo excited.

Hey to Diane Sue, Nicole and anyone I missed...
 
Sabrina - I think you have to be familiar with basic yoga to do an audio CD. You should at least know down dog, up dog, plank, pigeon. He probably does give some instruction also. I won't be able to judge very well for someone that knows nothing about yoga. You could always buy a beginners tape at CDUniverse.com for $9.00 and learn some poses. It might be worth it. I love Eion. He does talk in sort of a spiritual sort of yoga talk though, but I think he's really cool. He's so gentle and kind, but kills you ever so softly with the workout!! He fools you.

Terri - I bought a Powerstrike one once (I think 3) and I sent it back cuz it did absolutely nothing for my heartrate. I'll stick to my Turbo Jam's. They are the best for getting your HR up. Chalene is very motivating (although she breathes sort of funny now and then and is a very HAPPY person). She has a way of making you get lower with your punches and put more effort into the workout, therefore, burning more calories. I usually go as high as 150-160 on some of the TJ's which is good for me.

I'll let everyone know about the NRG DVDs when they get here. I do think she looks similar to Cathe's format, but I like that they're advanced and I always try new stuff. I hope I'm not sorry. The whooping may bother me slightly, but I pretty much don't get easily irritated.

My boss hasn't been too bad today. She only got mad at me a few times today. It's been really crazy here though. I have 100 employees stopping in all day to get their paychecks and about half of them also have uniforms to pick up and then there's the phone ....which is crazy when you work in a dept. that the entire hospital calls everytime they need something cleaned up, etc.
 
Hello Everyone,
Tdoay I did EFM and PS biceps and triceps. I tell ya I really like PS series :) Last night I rode 8 miles.

You all have been busy around here. I just got back from Sams club, and boy when I go I spend WAY to much money:eek:

Dallas when are you leaving?? Hope you have a GREAT time!! Enjoy.. I can't wait to hear your kid stories when you get back!!

Marietta I bookmarked the NRG site!! Those dvds look good:D I wish she had a kickboxing one though!! Be sure and let us know how you like them!! I am really excited about you getting these....


YOu to Lora ... I KNOW you will be buying these for sure:7 Can't wait to hear your reiviews also.

Charlotte post your rotation when you get it done I would love to see it!! You got some nice muscles... But hey watch out this ecto... is working on hers:7

Sabrina jumping for 20 min. is a good workout!! You go girl.:7

Hello to everyone else that follows:D

~Nicole
 
Hello,
I am late checking in. Yesterday I did P90X yoga and today I did Cardio Coach #3 again (40 miutes) and P90X legs and back minus the w/u.

Terri, I hope your Dad is doing ok. Mine has blood pressure problems and feels like he needs to continue his active lifestyle. I could not imagine him slowing down.

Lora, I do the download and most of the time my computer asks where I want to save something. Most of the time I put the download on the desk top and move it. I save the files on Windows Media Player. Then I can make several different copies.

Hi to,
Marietta,Sabrina, Dallas, Nicole, Susan, Christine, Charlotte, I hope that I did not miss anyone,
Diane Sue
