Morning Fitness Maniacs -

This morning I did Turbo Jam Cardio Party 3 (1/2 hour only) and 45 minutes of Yoga for Beauty with Rainbeau Mars Dawn Session. The Yoga was okay. I like Rainbeau but I like the selection of poses much better in the Dusk series. Turbo Jam was a lot of fun. I keep forgetting to mention that ever since I stated I was disappointed in the repetitive music on these TJ's, I have not had any repeated songs. It seems the new ones do have different music and even different moves. I was really liking the combos in this one. I think this is my favorite set of TJ's. They do not disappoint with getting the HR up there either. That's never a problem with these!

Sorry I haven't been around lately. Work is still hectic. My boss has been simply impossible. I told my supervisor that she really makes me feel like the worst secretary in the world and he said "she makes me feel like the worst supervisor in the world". At least I have Charles to talk to. He gets unloaded on all day by her also.....so he can relate. He's a very mild mannered soul who gets walked all over just like me.........and yes, it is beginning to take a bit of a toll on my self-esteem, mental health and overall health, as well as making me not look forward to my workouts. Another job is not an option right now, as the town I live in is very depressed and the hospital I currently work for is struggling so bad that we might go bankrupt and close.

Sabrina - I'm so upset about those DVDs. They canceled my order yesterday because they said that set was no longer available. That was a load of you know what...cuz I went on the site and ordered them for $25 right after that!! That's just the way they chose to get out of their mistake!

Charlotte - congrats on the new job. I hope you like it and you have a decent boss!! LOL!

Has anyone ever seen the DVDs WillPower & Grace or All the Right Moves? I just got these and WillPower & Grace looks really good. I can't wait to do it. It is described as a Pilates "Boot Camp" workout with some yoga stretches and dance moves thrown in. It has an aerobic part that's about 25 min long and then moves into core work and stretching. It looks fun and is supposed to be a tough workout. In the aerobics, there are lots of plyometrics, plyometric lunges, etc.

All the Right Moves is with Grace Lazenby and is a yoga/dance/pilates workout that looks good,, but no aerobic section.
Have great workouts everyone.
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Today I am not sure what I am doing. Haven't checked my rotation check. I have DOMS in the ole' pecs today.

Lora,

I use to be a secretary too. I did have a cool boss then. I got laid off though. It is nice you have Charles to talk to, that will make you feel better. And I completely understand about your town. Where I live is the same way. In fact, my county is the poorest in Virginia. I think my boss will be cool to work with as these people seem really laid back. I get to wear jeans and t-shirts! YIPPEE!!!!!

Hey to everyone else...probably off sweating somewhere! LOL!

Charlotte~~
 
Morning ladies!!

Lora-Sorry to hear about the DVD's. That really stinks. I imagine they will be canceling my order soon then too (I just checked mine and it says processing still). I might just have to call them and see what is going on. I hope you have a better day at work. That is nice that you have someone else to talk to about your boss.

Charlotte-That is cool that you can wear jeans and t-shirts to work.

Christine-Sparkpeople is a neat site. The changes have been nice too that they have made. I just wish they would tell us how many calories we burn with the exercises on the exercise plan.

Dallas-You did help with the Disney planning. I have no had time to ask you about certain places yet to eat. Maybe I can get to it later. I have to pack for this weekends trip tonight since we are going to Bloomington tomorrow night to see Dani and her DH (Scott) at the last lap. I can't wait to hear him sing. He is opening for Keith Anderson. It should be fun. Emily and her DH might go too.

Nicole-I sent you a link to Sparkpeople. I didn't know if you had it or not. It is a nice place and free so you can't beat that. lol

I hope to hear from my client today. He said he thought he would hear from the bank by today. I will keep my fingers crossed. It sounds like he is definately wanting to make an offer on the house I showed him last week. I hope he wants to do it soon since I am to be leaving town on Friday morning. Yikes!

I better go see if the boys are up yet. I have a lot to get done today.

I will check back later to see what you ladies are up to!!
 
Hey Everyone,
Today I have conferences..... I have 4 to go to:D So you will know what I will be doing today.

Tonight I plan on doing some kind of cardio??? What ever trips my trigger:7

Sabrina thanks for sending me that link. I know I need to eat better, but dang its HARD!!

Charlotte that is so COOL that you get to wear my FAVORITE thing... jeans and T-shirt!! When do you start?? Do you know what your hours are going to be??

Well gotta go wake up my boys again;) They said they were going to get up??? LOL

Good morning Fitness Ladies!

Lora - I'm sorry to hear your boss is still a major pain. I'm sending good vibes to you. And it does stink about the DVD's. I'm sure my order will be cancelled as well... Oh well

Charlotte - sounds like your job will be right up your alley! I love wearing jeans to work (I only do on Fridays!)

Sabrina - I don't follow their exercise plan. I just keep on doing what I've been doing - but I wear a heart rate monitor to keep an idea of what I've been burning. I did lower my calories burned this week.

Good morning to everyone else!!

I'm going to do Power Stike 2 and Core Max 3 today. I did not need any Benedryl last night, so I think it's allergies. The rain washed away all the nasty stuff in the air. But, it's starting to wash away houses as well. Fortunately, we're in the valley with nice views of the hills, but not on or beneath any, but it's bad.

Hope y'all enjoy your day!
 
Hi ladies,

Just a quick sheck-in for now as I have a busy morning. I am doing PLB and a run then will be out dealing with clients. Will check back later. Still feel just a bit achy. Not really sick and not really well.


Terri
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!

I hope all is well for you on this blessed day!!

This morning I did a hill-blaster workout on my treadmill. I'll do some chest work and a set of BBM later.

I've got to prepare for a conference call that is to take place in a few hours. I have an agenda item that I have to discuss...and it's quite controversial so it should be interesting...need to make sure I'm prepared.

Lora - Sorry about work...glad you have someone around to lean on when times get rough. The TJ workouts sound awesome!

Sabrina - Hope you get good news from your client today! Hope you accomplish all that you have planned.

Nicole - What kind of conferences are you going to...parent/teacher?

Christine - Man! That rain you guys are getting is something else! Glad you live in a safe place. You haven't been able to do much outdoor bike riding have you? Haven't heard you mention it... What kind of workout is Power Strike? Trying to learn...

Hi to all that follow...have great workouts today!!

I'll be back later.

Terri - I hate when I get like - not sick enough to hunker down and just relax, but not well enough to want to run around and do things. I hope you're feeling better.

Marietta - yeah, I'm building my ark... We even stopped hiking when the weather is somewhat tolerabe because I simply do not trust the mountains around here right now. So much is sliding that I don't think it's safe. We have Urban Search and Rescue trying to dig out a 75 year old man who was out trying to clear a drainage system in his back yard at 3AM, when a mudslide hit. His wife is fine - I hope he is. Some places got 4 inches last night. Jeez...

Power Strike is a kick box workout that is more like traditional Tae Kwon Do. It uses combos like Cathe, but they are tougher and faster. The workouts are great (at least Power Strike 1 and 2 are), but they are only available on VHS, and the production quality is questionable. I'm not really picky about that - I simply want a nice hard core workout. My lats are on fire right now. I love it.
 
Good afternoon
I am really busy but thought I would do a quick check in. This morning I did Kempo X and Cardio Party 2, Then Pour Half Hour ab burner. THis had standing and floor work in it. A lot of moves from KempoX and PlyoX on the standing work. You work up a sweat on this one. I will check back later.

Good Afternoon Ladies!

Busy, busy morning. I guess I should just say when I'm "NOT" busy. lol

My workout was just mediocre. :-( Just as I was heading downstairs, my little guy woke up and wanted me to lay down with him. After I got him back to sleep I did 30 minutes on the treadmill. I then did CM#3 and one set of BBM. That's it. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

Yesterday during PT she had me do walking lunges (front and back). I was soooo excited when she said I was going to do those!!!:7 I also had to do wall squats, and some other exercises. I'm almost done with it!

Susan ~ I think that treatment that you described is what has helped my ankle/foot.

Christine ~ Oh my! I meant to say something about the rain you're having yesterday. That's so sad about that man. I hope they find him. How are you liking P90X?

Hi Diane Sue, Nicole, Terri, Marietta, Sabrina, Lora and Charlotte!

Dallas
 
Hi guys,

Today I ran 4 miles, then did SH Legs. I'm going to do shoulders and planks in just a little while.

I had a lot of errands to run, and finally got myself some new sneaks.

Marietta, I hope your meeting goes well. Let us know. I have Powerstrike 1. I like it. It's not Cathe though. Christine is right about the production; it's not that great, but it IS a good kickbox workout.

Dallas, Yeah, I remember my PT worked me hard too. I had to do leg extensions and ride a bike at a hard tension.

Christine, I heard about the rain you're getting. Hopefully it will let up soon.

Sabrina, I'll check out the website regarding calories. I'm afraid!! I hope your client calls you with a deal!

Terri, I hope your meetings go well today.

Have a good one!

Susan
 
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Willpower and Grace DVD. It's so different from any other workout I own, which makes it a very refreshing change of pace. I have the VHS version of All The Right Moves and I adore that workout as well. I've read that Grace has a new set of DVDs coming out, but I have yet to find a way to purchase them.
 
Hey Maniacs!!

I ended up running again at lunch...wasn't the plan since I ran this morning, but when I went to the workout room at lunch, one of the guys was there all by himself and didn't have anyone to go with him...plus the weather was gorgeous. What's a girl to do? We ended up doing a little over 4-miles....we ran pretty fast especially since I was "supposed" to be taking it easy. After we ran I did a little chest work. No BBM today...no time.

Terri - I hope you begin to feel better...sounds like your body is trying to fight whatever it is...hang in there.

Sabrina/Toasty/Lora - I had a feeling you guys wouldn't get anything, but I didn't want to burst your bubbles...Maybe MTV will do something special for those that ordered...you never know.

Christine - I hope they find that guy. All this rain is affecting everything isn't it...the weather is sure crazy these days.

Ciddy - Thanks for your input on the Grace DVDs. It's always nice to get various opinions on workouts. We've got a lot of suckers (smile) on this checkin...tell us about a good workout and somebody around here is on it.

Hi Susan, Diane Sue, Nicole and Dallas...

Later my friends!!
