Hardcore Fitness Maniacs Check In for Mon April 3

Cathlete
Morning Fitness Maniacs -

Ugh it's Monday and we had the time change. It was really hard to get out of bed this morning. I did Amy Bento All Pump and about 15 minutes of TurboJam Kick Punch and Jam. I wanted to do more aerobics, but ran out of time cuz I couldn't get up soon enough. I again lifted the same amount as Amy and I think I would have gotten a better workout if I went a bit heavier.

All Pump was an okay weight workout, but I peronally think it should have been a bit longer. I didn't count reps, but I think she does a lot, as I was getting a good burn. We'll see how sore I am from this tomorrow. She did have a few unique moves that I've never done before. This one bicep move was a move I've never seen elsewhere and I liked it.

Turbo Jam Kick Punch and Jam was fun. The music was really good in this one and it had more punches than the last one I did. I only did 15 minutes of it, so more on that later.

Have great workouts everyone. I'll try to check in later from work.
 
Good Morning to all the Lovely Hardcore Ladies...

Between the time change and the rain, I didn't get too much sleep (it's very windy out there right now), but oh well... The good thing is that I had forgotten to reset my alarm but I was awake anyway. I'm glad I don't live in the mountains around here - I'm afraid they're all going to slide away! Terri - are you sure you want to move to California? Actually San Diego is gorgeous.

I have Gauntlet on my agenda today, and an abs class at the gym. I'm looking forward to Gauntlet - it's one of my favorites! Nice way to start the week. Have a great Monday all!
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Yesterday was my rest day. Today I will be doing a total body workout (breakdown circuit) w/plyometrics. I also have to clean.

Have great sweaty workouts! I know I will!

Morning Lagies,

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I am looking forward to the next one already! Saturday night we are going to the cheesecake factory and to a movie for Ashley's birthday. There is a group of 12 gping so I think it will be fun. I still need to get her a gift. I need ideas.

Today I am doing Leaner legs and KPC. Later today I will probably add in a Slim series or do Bi's and tri's.

Christine-Yeah the time change messes with my internal clock as well. Takes me a few days to adjust. Hope the rain goes away soon!

Lora-Have you driven the new car much this weekend? That was so nice of your DH to save the dog.
Susan-How is the baby?
Charlotte-Did you ever here back on the job?
Sabrina-The yoga discs came. Thanks!
Nicole-I think you were missing this weekend you ok?
Diane Sue-Did you hear from DH?
Marietta-Did you have fun this weekend?

Terri
 
Morning ladies!!

Well we didn't get blown away last night. I hate stormy weather. The time chage has me all messed up too. I hope I get straightened around soon.

Lora-Thanks for telling us about the .01 DVD's. I hope you have a good day at work.

Christine-Glad you got up since you didn't set your alarm.

Charlotte-Hope you had a nice rest day yesterday. Did you hear about the job yet?

Terri-I hope Ashley has a nice birthday this weekend. It sounds like it will be fun. I am not sure what to tell you to get her. What does she like? Your welcome for the yoga disc. Does it work ok? I didn't burn myself one to play on the dvd player. I have only listened to it on my computer.

Dallas-I would love some reviews when you get back!!!

How is everyone else today?

My boys are back to school. Woo hoo! We all went for a 3 mile walk yesterday. Thank goodness the boys were on a bike or a scooter. We walked the 3 miles in 45 minutes.

I will be back later!
 
Christine,

Glad your hanging in there with the weather there. Stay safe and glad your not near the mountains.

Sabrina,

No, didn't hear from the job yet. Stormy weather coming here today.

Terri,


Never been to the Cheesecake Factory. Don't think they have them around here. Went to the Olive Garden on Saturday though with hubby.

Charlotte~~
 
Marietta - your package went out Friday. It was $5. I posted on Saturday but I don't think you were around.

Gotta run........boss lady is lurking.
 
Hey Everyone,
Lora I usually hate mondays to but, the kids are on spring break sooooooo.... I just woke up:7 I LOVE sleeping in!! (The kids do to:7 )

I took the weekend off!

Today I plan on doing S&H Chest and back, a step dvd, and ctx abs. I am hoping that I wake up a little more and just go get it done with.

Christine this is first time that Indiana did the time change. I will forever be a hour a head of my family now.

Terri I did Firm in up on Friday:7 I really enjoyed that one!! Hey I LOVE cheese cake my dd made one yesterday, and that is what I just had for breakfast:) As far as b-day present I think you are safe getting a certificate!! Borders is one of my favorite to give. Wishing Ashely a happy b-day!!

Sabrina we have had some nasty storms here to. :-(

Hey Dallas should be coming home today???

Charlotte I was so hoping you would hear about that job by now!! Keeping my fingers crossed. Just think all the stories you can tell us!!

Susan how's it going?? Well I got though your rotation, and I have to say. I did make A LOT of head way on my abs. (as you know my problem area:7 ) Now I am on to A-Jock rotation, and I think that will really kick it in a little more.

Marietta I am looking forward to hearing your reviews on the Amy dvds. If you like them as well as Lora I think I will wait and order her 6 pack. (she said she would have a special deal on those??) Now I just got to start saving my $$$$$$$'s:7

Diane Sue how have you been? Did your Dh make it back safely? How is he doing.

~Nicole
 
Good Morning and Happy Monday to all you Maniacs!!

Had a nice long weekend. Can't say that I accomplished a whole lot, but I think I grew up a little...imagine that.

Yesterday I went for an 8.25 mile run. Instead of the treadmill I went outside. My DD's both had company spend the night and I didn't want to wake them up with my loud TV that I must watch when I'm on the treadmill...I'm glad I went out...I enjoyed the run.

This morning I did the Gaunlet...don't know why I haven't done that. I think I forgot about it...good workout! I may go for a run at lunch...we'll see.

Excellent reviews of the Amy Bento workouts...I'm really not surprised. I can't wait to reveiw and do mine. Oh...I did finally do my Kelly Coffey Ready, Set, Step workout....I finally found a way to position my step so that could get the most out of the workout...It's a good workout...will be doing it somemore. Very complex stuff, but different than Cathe's workouts. Just nice for a change of pace. I'll probably do her workout called the Shape of Things to Come the next time I'm ready for an all-over workout.

Lora - I'll get that check in the mail to you today. Thanks again!

Christine - did you do the Gaunlet today! I love that one too...were you the one that got me thinking about it? Hope the weather gets better for you.

Toasty - Let me know how your workout goes!! Very anxious to hear...

Terri - I'm looking forward to Next weekend too!! Sounds like you have a great weekend planned. I haven't done Leaner Legs in forever...another one I need to pull out. I took a nap on Saturday afternoon to prepare me for the time change...it helped me out a great deal...I'll try to make it a traditional thing.

Sabrina - Are you guys having more storms than usual also...I know that's what they are saying around here...we are not really into the "bad" part of the season yet...oh boy!! I have a feeling we are going to get some pretty bad ones.

Hi Nicole, Susan, and Diane Sue!

I'll be back later.

Lora-I think I owe you $2 right? I will send it out as soon as I know for sure. Thanks again for the DVD's!

Nicole-I wish my kids liked to sleep in. What are you doing with your kids this week? I hate storms and I think we are going to get them again later this week too. I don't think Dallas will be back until Wednesday evening. I bet they are having a blast! Is there a special going to go on for all Amy's DVD's??? I would like to know if there is. I have thought about ordering them too. Keep me posted!!

Be back later!

ETA: Hi Marietta! It seems like we are getting more storms than usual already. Not sure though. You had a great run!! Let us know when you do Amy's workouts. I want to hear your reviews too. I would like to order them too. Do you know about a special on all of them? I want to make sure I find it if there is one. I have to save money for out trip. ;-)
 
Sabrina I flirted with the idea of going to Wisconsin/chicago, but I will be heading that way for Easter so decided to stay home and RELAX some....although my ds does have baseball practice this week:)

Ya I know I am LUCKY that my kids will sleep in, but the hard part will be when they go back to school haha.


Amy now has a forum and someone asked her. She will be having a 2pack, 4pack and 6 pack deal. I will wait so i can save some dollars on shipping;-)

~Nicole
 
Nicole-I will be in the Dells for Easter weekend. Where are you going to be? I have an allergy appointment in La Crosse on Good Friday and then we are going to the Great Wolf Lodge.

I hope your kids have a nice spring break! You too!

Let me know when you hear more about the 6 pack deal. I would love to save some dollars too. Thanks!!
 
Good afternoon
It took me awhile to get started this am. My internet wasn't working so I had to reset the modem and router. I was up till 12 am trying to fix it. I kind of have a cold starting up and achey. I had to push to work out. I finally did C&W cardio and compound weight premix, then P90X Cst. I think I will try and do ab ripper tomorrow. I should be getting the Turbo Jams any day. I am looking forwards to getting these. Next week is supposed to be my final recovery week on the P90X. I will probably try some of these out as well.

Nicole and Terri, dh made it back to Iraq safely. He has sent me quite a few pics of his stay in Jordan.

Hi to everyone else,
Diane Sue

Diane Sue I am happy to hear you got your internet working again!! I HATE that when it happens...

Sabrina I will be sure and let you know when I order!!You will have another GREAT time at the dells..... I am soooooo jealous.... I WANT some of there fudge!!

I feel spent!! I ended up doing Imax etreme, and then ctx abs, and then S&H chest, back and abs, and ya know today S&H slow pace did not bother me one bit haha.

Tonight I may hop on my bike for 20-30 minutes?? We will see how I feel.

~Nicole
 
Nicole--Their fudge is so yummy!! I will make sure I get some while I am there. What is your favorite? I like nuts in mine. Mmmmmm! LOL!

Wow Nicole you got in a great workout!! Way to go! Not sure what is on my agenda for this evening. Have to see what is going on here. I have another headache. Ugh!

I will be back later!
 
Hey Girls!!

Went for a 3.5 mile at lunch today...it had CRAZY hills, but I made it. The weather is beautiful...couldn't resist. After I got back, I did some quick shoulders too.

Nicole - I didn't even look for a deal on the Amy workouts, because the only ones that looked good (to me) were the ones I ordered. But if they all look good to you then you should certainly go for it!! I've not done the IMAX extreme before...maybe I should.

Sabrina - Guess what? I don't like fudge...isn't that insane?! I actually don't care too much for chocolate anything. Guess that's one less thing for me to worry about.

Diane Sue - Sorry you felt so lousy...are you coming down with something? Sounds like you pulled through...Glad your hubby made it back safely.

Taking DD to tumbling tonight...

Have great evenings all!!
 
*picking myself up off the floor* You have got to be joking??? I LOVE chocolate!!! I can't live without it! lol

Good run this afternoon Marietta! Have a goos time at tumbling with your daughter.
 
Lora--I forgot to tell you that I mailed the $2 to you for the DVD's. It went out today. Let me know it gets there ok. Thanks again!
 
I am back again! lol

I just received an email saying the one of the four MTV dvd's that I ordered has shipped. I wonder what is going to happen with the other three?? I hope they ship!!

Have you heard anything about your 4 pack Lora? Did anyone else order?
