Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did Ab Ripper 200 (P90), P90 Masters Sculpt 5/6. I lifted heavy and did lower reps. I jogged in between to make it aerobic. I then did about 10 minutes of Fat Blaster Turbo Jam and 25 minutes of Yoga Complete premix "Good Morning".

Fat Blaster was totally different than any of the TJ's I own. It was less kicking and punching and more regular athletic aerobics. She does a lot of impact, high jumping, etc. I only did 10 minutes of it though. The music is the same as it was in the past ones. I wish they'd come up with some new music.

Yoga Complete is a set of 3 DVDs, Yoga for Inflexible People, Yoga for Weight Loss and Yoga Complete for Everybody. THese 3 DVDs have TONS of premixes on them. They were recommended to me over at VF. I'm not sure if I like them. Maybe I just haven't done a premix I like yet. It has beg, interm and Adv levels and anywhere from a 20 minute to hour routine on them. I don't like them cuz they are pieced together like the Push DVDs. All of the postures are recorded and then spliced together to make a workout. I'm gonna post over at VF to find out the best premixes before I give up on them.

Diana Sue - I have all of the TurboJams but the one I got last night had Cardio Party 3, Fat Blaster, Totally Tubular and Kick, Punch and Jam. It also came with 1.5 pound weighted gloves and a B-line resistance band. Two of the workouts are 30 minutes and 2 are about 50 or so. Tubular is a resistance workout, Fat Blaster is intervals and the other 2 are Chalene's kickboxing (I assume).
Terri - No ....no car yet. It has to be driven here from Chicago. They only had 1 car the exact way we wanted it and that's where it is. I probably won't get it until Friday or Saturday....I'm guessing.

Have great workouts everyone and I'll try to check in from work.

P.S. I can't wait to get my Amy Bento DVDs. Did anyone else order them?
 
Good Morning Maniacs!

Thought I'd pop in and say goodbye. Have a great week! We leave for the airport soon, so I better get moving....

Lora ~ I did not order the Amy DVDs. I'll wait until I hear some reviews from you and Marietta. Enjoy your new car.

Hi everyone. Have great workouts.

Hasta Luego!!!

Dallas
 
Good Morning,
I am off to do Cardio Coach#5 and P90XArms and Shoulders, then Core Max. I had my grandson overnight which was nice for the company. My daughter had to do parent teacher conferences late so it worked well for both of us.

Lora, I saw those workouts. I will have to see how I like the ones I just ordered. I had heard that some came with weighted gloves. From what I understand those are supposed to be more advanced. Have you tried Power half hour abs? I see they are having a special for 3.99 and was wondering if it was just the same stuff.

Dallas enjoy your vacation!!

Hi to everyone

Morning ladies!!

Lora-I am glad you got your Turbo Jam's!! I have not received mine yet. I am starting to get a little upset. I was told they shipped out the 17th. I hope I get them soon. I did not order Amy's DVD's. There are others I would like to order too but I am suppose to be saving money for our trip to the Great Wolf Lodge next month and our Disney trip in December. I will go thru withdrawl if I don't order some here and there. lol

Dallas-I know you are gone but have a great trip!!! See you when you get back.

I jumped on the trampoline again late yesterday afternoon. lol

What are you ladies up to today?

I will be back later!
 
Good morning all!

Lora - no, I haven't ordered Amy's DVD yet. I plan to order P90X soon, so that's what I'm saving my pennies for... LOL. I'm interested in hearing what you have to say about them!

Dallas - ENJOY your vacation!!

Diane Sue - nice to have the kids around, isn't it? You are definitely an inspiration!

Sabrina - glad to see you're having fun jumping! I need to look into a rebounder!

Terri, Nicole, Charlotte, Marietta and anyone else I missed - hope it's a wonderful day for y'all!

I'm doing my Kickbox premix - KPC through the high intensity drills, KM blasts, CK drills, followed by CTX Shoulders and pilates at the gym. Should be a day guaranteed to get rid of the tensions! LOL
 
Good Morning!

Christine do you have a multi disc dvd player? I ask because of your mish mosh workout which looks like fun BTW :)
Lora-I too would like to know about power half hour abs.
Sabrina-Thanks for doing the cd's.
Diane Sue-p90x is something I would like o order some day. Do you think it has made a difference and if so how and where?

Ok Today calls for 60 minutes of step but since I did bodymax yesterday I am going o do a run. Then some core work and another walk. Marietta-I like how walking fast with long strides is giving me doms in my hamstrings and lower glute area. Plus the weather is so beautiful I like getting out in it twice. Once for run and later for walk. I may even try to get a SS workout in but I have plans tonight with som efriends and Dave and Ashley.

Have a great day and I will check back. Hi To Charlotte. susan. Nicole.

Terri
 
PHH is a good series. Kathryn highly recommends them. I used to use them and do 2 back to back and you could even add cardio on. I was thinking of doing a PHH rotation soon.
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!

You guys have been busy this morning!!

I did HCE #2 this morning....that was a great workout! I'll do some back work and a set of BBM later.

Lora - I ordered Amy's workouts...can't wait to get them!!

Sabrina - You are going to go into withdrawal if you can't order any workouts aren't you. You've got a rough couple of months ahead of you.

Diane Sue - Glad you had a great time with your grandson! Have a great workout today.

Christine - I didn't have time to do CTX back this morning...I love the workout you put together....outstanding!!

Terri - I know what you mean about the walking...like I said, I just never hear you talk about walking. Have fun with Dave and Ashley later! How's you dad?

Hi Nicole and Toasty!!

I'll be back...

Hello Maniacs!!!

I am very behind today. It is my children's fault!!! LOL, not really! Forgetting lunch, getting out the door too late, ladadada. Anyhoo, applied at the Fitness Center in town for an evening front desk position. Caught the ad in the paper and just had to almost run there! So excited! If this one doesn't work out, then it is not meant to be again. Just more time for me at home, right? ;-)

I have some last minute cleaning to do, but I will be working it, girls!!!! I am going to work upperbody. Not sure what else.

Charlotte~~
 
Good Luck Charlotte! Break a leg and all that! That job sounds perfect for you!

Terri - I don't have a multi disc where I work out (there is one in the family room), but with Cathe's DVD's offering a way to skip all the nonsense and go straight to the workout, it makes it quick. Besides - I kind of like the minute break I get to catch my breath after the drills! It's a fun workout and I feel it in the lats and my upper abs major the next day!

Sabrina - maybe we need to work up a video exchange - we can circulate videos amoungst ourselves while we wait for Cathe to heal.

Marietta - I did CTX Shoulders today. Probably should not have done that one after those kick box drills, but I can definitely say that my shoulders are worked.

Well, we're having record rains here in "Sunny" California. So, if you don't hear from me, it means I floated down the Bay... Watch the news - I'll be the one hanging on to all my Cathe videos for dear life!
 
Charlotte - We have had 6 dry days in the entire month of March. I'm happy to send it your way! How much do you want? :p
 
Hey Everyone,

Today I did BBBB and S&H biceps and abs. Tonight I will ride my airdyne (last night I rode 7.5 miles)

Lora and Marietta when do you think you will be getting your Amy dvds?? I hope soon. They look good!! I am so looking forward to Cathes new ones. My last order of dvds were my Tlts that I ordered on a whim.

Susan this is the last week of my Tlts, and I thought I would be sick of them by now, but I am not!! I feel these have really worked my core. I can now see my abs are starting to get flat:D And I have got a little bit of definition going.... YIPPE!!

Sabrina you are really going to buid that pelvic floor with all your jumping:7 You go girl!!

Diane Sue I am looking forward to your reviews of the turbo jams!! I ALMOST caved, but I got the tlt's instead.

Christine what kickmax premix..??? Min. wise??? I have not really used the premixes on that one yet. So would love to hear your favorite..

Terri have fun tonight!! I am so jealous of your wheather!! It is another icky day here.

Yes I have PHH and I like it!! All those workouts on 1 dvd is wonderful!! It is fast and effective....Although I have not done it in awhile???? This would be a good summer rotation!!

Charlotte that would be a GREAT job for you!! I hope you get it!! I will keep my fingers crossed and sending you good vibes your way!!

Well gotta go will *try* and be back later!!

~Nicole
 
Not no 40 days and 40 nights, gotta break it up some. It is already starting to warm up here. Smell the lovely chicken farm smells already..something you gotta get use to around here. LOL!

Charlotte~~
 
Nicole - you're just riding away, aren't you! That's fabulous!
It's not really a premix I use - it's more a Mish Mosh. KPC warm up through high intensity drills, KM blasts, and CK drills. When I don't feel like the high intensity blasts from KM, I'll do CTX Kickbox, the High intensity drills from KPC, and CK drills.
 
Christine yes I am a riding fool:p ha ha I do have to say since I have upped my workouts... this seems to be the only cardio I really want to do! I wish I had the motivation like Terri to do a SS dvd or maybe some kickboxing, but I just don't have it in me?? I like the fact that I get my heartrate up within the 1st min. and throughout my ride.

Hi guys,

I’ve been pretty bad at the check in lately. I was so good when I had a job! Hahaha

I’ve been able to jog in mornings. Yesterday I did GS Biceps twice also. Today, I jogged for about a half hour and the baby cried and cried. Then I did KPC (no abs) and L&G ankle weights. I had to stop in between each workout though.

My girlfriends got together for a short time this afternoon for lunch, but my son missed the bus today so I had to drive him….so I missed my friends today.. BUMMER! It seems I cant get my act together being home. Yesterday the stupid dog ran away. When I got him, he was a filthy stinkin’ mess! Ugh! I should go back to work…

Nicole, I know what you mean about riding your bike. Since I’ve started using my stepper and now jogging, I like that it’s really challenging straight through the entire workout. If *things* go smoothly tonight with the family, I'd like to do one of the TLT's.

Good Luck Charlotte! I hope you get the job!

Terri, long strides huh? Now that’s what I should do. I have to keep reminding myself it’s only been almost two months since the baby was born AND I’m 35 years old. ;-)

Diane Sue, have a great day with your grandson! Are you doing a P90X rotation this month?

Sabrina, are you going the Disney in CA or FL? We are planning to go to one this Fall. We were thinking maybe Anaheim and also visit the San Diego Zoo while we’re out there.

Lora, are the workouts from Amy B. already to be shipped? Do you know when you’ll get them? I’m interested in actually knowing if/how they are similar to Cathe.

Marietta, I watch HCE#2 sometimes while using my stepper. It is a good workout.

Have a great day everyone!
Susan

My NRG package is here. I just spoke with the DH. Now the question is ......do I finish my P90 rotation or do an Amy one tomorrow?

Just kidding......I already know the answer to that, but I was really sticking with this P90 rotation. I guess I can always go back to it. So tomorrow was supposed to be a cardio interval day. I'll preview the step tape tonight but if it looks like I won't get a good workout cuz of the coreography, ya'll may have to wait a couple days for a review.

ETA: My boss just left early to go get her Taxes done. I thought she told me that she ALWAYS schedules personal business on personal time!! This is strike 2. Last week, she went to the dentist at 9:00 am!!
 
Good Afternoon...My Maniac Friends!!

I opted for low-impact at lunch today so I did the elliptical, a back workout and a set of BBM exercises. I just finished my lunch and now I am good to go!!

Christine - I think some of the rain you are having is headed this way...at least that's what the weatherman is saying. It's only supposed to rain tomorrow and then it's supposed to get nice again.
I'm gonna have to write down that workout you did and do it sometimes.

Nicole - Looks like Lora got her workouts...I should get mine shortly. Can't wait to hear what Lora has to say about the workouts...Ride away...you're doing great!!

Susan - You have a very good reason not to be checking in regularly...I can totally relate. So, does the baby not like the stroller? Maybe he will get used to it. Sounds like you are just not having an easy go of it...but it also sounds like these are things that were beyond your control...so just relax and let it go. Girl...HCE#2 is the bomb!!

Lora - You know you have to do that workout...I'm glad you realized that. I hope it's not to hard to follow so you can do it. Which one will you try first?? Again...don't even get me started on your boss!!

Take care guys!! I'll be around if you wanna chat...

Afternoon ladies!

I am back from my meeting at work. You ladies have been chatting away!

Marietta-I will have withdrawal symptoms before long if I don't buy something. I have to sell some houses though to feed this addiction of mine (and to have money for Disney). lol

Nicole-Jumping has been fun. I think I might do some other exercises tonight though. Some crunches, push-ups and maybe some other ab exercises. Who knows what else. I think I need to get the BBBB workout. It has been mentioned alot. Do you like it?

Susan-You are doing really well for having a baby not too long ago. You should be very proud of yourself. We are going to Disney World in Florida in December. Let me know where you decide to go for sure and we can compare notes. Sorry you had a rough day yesterday, I hope today is going better.

Hi Charlotte and Christine!

See you ladies later!

ETA:Lora I still have not received my Turbo Jam workout yet. Stupid postman!! LOL! He should know I am waiting for them. Let us know how you like your new ones.
