Debbie, I love getting new furniture! I hope you two enjoy your new chairs. It is amazing how fast couches and chairs break down. Furniture is not made like it used to be. If I sat on a cushy chair my back would go right out. I sit on and upright desk chair to watch tv. I have for about 10 years and it has made a big difference. Nice job on the workout today and it is great that you could get in a stretch. I hate when the music is bad in workouts.
Doreen, great job with the Alexia workout today, she does killer workouts!!! All of the controlled compound move look very difficult, but your young, you can do it!
BBL to read the other posts. Have a wonderful day.

This morning I did Step Boss I Max 4 plus abs, 54 minutes, 229 calories, heart rate 112 average, 146 max ( I really question this) 4,408 steps. I then did the extended chair stretch, 16 minutes, 17 calories. Total time 70 minutes, 4,424 steps, 246 calories. I have to leave soon.
Belinda, I picked the same workout today. I used one riser, I modify some of the moves and use the step for those squat thrusts and do them a bit slower. Also on the abs those side planks I did on my elbow and not on my hand, on the step hands off and on I just used the platform as I could feel it in my shoulders. Great step count. My husband would never give up meat. I usually avoid the soy products since it can affect thyroid and hormones. The only soy I ate was when I cooked my own organic beans and made them into tempeh. That was just occas
Debbie, I wish we could get a new bed and new chairs. My husbands last two recliners pushed my head forward. Even my daughter complained when she sat in his chair. I was wondering how a zero gravity chair would be. They sure cost a lot though. I don't have a designated chair. Even sitting on the couch I am not comfortable. It doesn't push my head forward though, the back is a bit lower. I usually use pillows and my neck roll and lean back onto the arm of the couch if I use it. Otherwise I sit on a barstool all of the time. I have thought about getting a chair for me though.
Kelly has a new workout she put up for light days that is a stretch and floor work for legs I think. She has on ankle weights standing in the picture. It says they are optional.
Doreen, nice work today.
Jolie, my daughter and I were talking about how years ago people chose their furniture and it pretty much stayed with them their entire life. Now it made to for decor and disposable I guess. I do prefer comfort. Great looking workout that you put together.

Jolie - great job on your workout today. Looks amazing.
Debbie - we have recliners too. It pushes my head forward, gives me a neck strain. I can't sit in the recliner. They look very nice but not every comply. Glad you found the right one. I am only 5.1" would be hard finding a good one for short people, lol. Let me know how you like the Forks over knifes recipes.
Diane - IMAX4 is a lot of fun. This one reminded me of Cathe older step workouts. I didn't do the squat trust All I need is twist something else. I marched in place. When I do cardio I for for step count not how to throw myself on the floor and up, lol. I don't eat soy either for the same reason you mention. Once in awhile I eat tofu if I am in a restaurant. I try not to eat it.

Today I once again walked on my treadmill. Getting a lot of books read doing this, that's for sure!! Walked for 41 minutes, burned 247 calories, went 2 miles and did 4899 steps. HR was 113/130.
Then I stretched. I've been foam rolling my upper back and I am finding that my actual shoulder blade is so tight it actually hurts to roll on it. I mean, hurt. So I've gently been rolling it out for the past few days and it is getting better. This could be what is leading to knots and pain in my neck, I can feel it all when I'm rolling it. My left side is a little better, but it still hurt as well. But my right side - I can't believe how painful it is to roll.
Hopefully this will help with recovery. Still struggling to sit up straight, it is truly a challenge for me. I am trying.
Be back later!!

My workout is finished. I need to go run errands that I did not do since they dilated my eyes at the eye doctor yesterday. I started with Kelly Coffey's One on One Cardio Sculpt Fitness dvd, premix low impact and lower body (lower body portion is body weight) I wore my 4# vest, 29 minutes, 138 calories, heart rate 122/156, 2,512 steps. I then did Kelly's Raw Stretch and Tone new workout, 33 minutes, 37 calories, heart rate 81/105, 115 steps, wearing 3# ankle weights throughout. I finished off with Ice Pyramid Pump triceps, biceps, and stretch, 18 minutes, 27 calories, 82/102 heart rate, 199 steps. I used Cathe's weights.
Total time was 80 minutes, 202 calories, 2,826 steps.
I am getting fed up with my Fit Bit. Sometimes I look at it when working out and it does not show a heart rate at all, just a greyed out heart. It did not do this before the upgrade. The same thing happens with the weather app except if I wait long enough it will find the weather. I may take it back to factory reset and start over. Only thing is I am afraid I will mess the silly thing up for good.
I woke with a terrible headache and neck pain. I took some tylenol to try and get some relief. Feels better after the workout. The Raw stretch and tone was different. She wears 3# ankle weights (optional) throughout. She also uses a foam roller for a small portion of it. It is an active stretch and strength. Different. I kind of liked it. I was not so sure about the plough move with 3# ankle weights on though. It is a lot of lower body stuff along with a few reps of things like side lying triceps during a break and some push ups as a short in between other work. She does a push up along with pidgeon. Things are done in a flow, you are not still for most of it. I liked it. I think I will feel my hips later.
Belinda, nice work on STS and the bonus stretch from Lite today.

Today is my rest day, I have a ton of errands to run so i have to get out early. I am tired and sore from these lifting workouts!!! YEAH! I hope you all have great workouts today.
Debbie, I love to read too! I sit outside to get sunshine for 20 minutes everyday and read and escape. I love good beach reads, they really take me away!
Belinda, great job on the second workout of STS Meso 1.
Doreen, getting it done with a good step workout!

Debbie, I had wondered if I was more consistant with foam rolling. I have been doing it in the mornings before I start my workouts and throwing some in at the end. I know Kelly says she uses hers when she gets up in the morning and at night before she goes to bed. I hope that helps loosen things up for you.
Doreen, Cathe does come up with some fun step workouts.

Walked on the treadmill again. I am feeling better today but wondering if it's because I took an Aleve yesterday. I'm still foam rolling my shoulder blade area and it seems to be really helping. I still have a knot on my right side, but my left side has been doing pretty good. Hopefully this problem is finally going away.
Nice workouts everyone, sorry I haven't been here for personals. I will try to get in here later on tonight.

Belinda, great job on the STS workout today. I guess i could try Meso 1 with you and sub out the pushups for Chest Press. I cant even do them on the floor because they hurt my right shoulder so bad. I will start with you next week, are you starting the second week? WE will do it together, but i may have to substitue alot of exercises like lunges to something else.
Roselyn, nice workout today!!!!
BBL to read your posts, I hope you all have fantastic workouts today.
Off to look at some houses.

Jolie - I do my push ups on my bench or Fit Tower. I think I mention it before, I can't go down on the floor. My knees still can't handle it. You still work our chest doing it upright, no need to go down. Of course, you can sub any exercise for push ups, lunges. I probably will see how it goes with D3 legs tomorrow. I may have to sub something else. I already decided to use my pull down bar instead of pull ups. I will finish M1, W1 tomorrow. Next week I will start M1 Week 2. What are you plan on doing for the lunges? I probably have to sub that one too. That's great you starting STS next week. I am excited. Great job today.

Today I did Step Sync, 58 minutes, heart rate 117/144, 272 calories, 5,810 steps. I also did Jessica Smith youtube 1 mile walk and talk stress relief, 15 minutes, 78 calories, heart rate 121/152 (surprising after what I got for Step Sync) 1,852 steps. I walked faster than she was a did some as a light jog though. For stretching I did Jane Adams morning energy yoga segment, 22 minutes, heart rate 85/95, 22 calories, 96 steps. Total time was 95 minutes, 7,758 steps, 372 calories. I thought maybe my Fit Bit Blaze still being linked to my cell phone might be affecting the Versa 2 so removed it this morning. It didn't make a difference. I can't even find the Blaze. It was lying on the desk turned off in my workout room. I know it has been turned on because my phone kept trying to sync to the blaze this morning. I think my 5 year old grandson may have done something with it. I have looked all over the place. Will ask him tomorrow.
