Roselyn, nice work getting your workout in.
Roxie, that is nice that you were able to spend your husband's birthday with him and get in your workout. I am sorry that you have grieved so much for your dad. I lost my mother who was not that old to als. she never got to see my children get married or my grandchildren. I loved her dearly and she was devoted to God. She was provided with a computer set up by the MDA so she could use her toes to talk through the computer and she could read her Bible by clicking the buttons. I was so thankful for that for her. The thing is every one of us will die at some point. Death is part of who we all are. Even Jesus wept over death of a friend. Maybe a grief share group would help you. God does use circumstances for good. Our suffering should help us to have more compassion and understanding to help others through those times. My heart goes out to you.
Debbie, great job. It is interesting seeing Cathe's live version of the Lite stacked sets upper. I see some of the same moves and she does the 1 and a halfs here too. I found it a bit difficult writing out the reps because of the 1 and a halfs. It is the same with the lower body if I remember right. I will do that one either Saturday or Monday. Since I just did Kelly's lower pyramid, I am not sure my legs can handle much more at this point
I went a bit heavier than Cathe for all of the exercises, but think there are some areas where I could go heavier, like some of the arms and back moves. This was the first time though. I am trying to remember which workout Kelly did on Raw that had something like the hip hugger in a move. A bit more lift toward the back though. Maybe it was the Hip Hop Weights workout. I just know my neck and shoulders really felt it. That was last Friday. I will have to look and see what weight I used. I am pretty sure I lowered the weight there too. My neck has been terribly painful lately. The damp weather does not help the arthritis. I purchased Garden of Life Tumeric and am sorry I did not go for the Vimerson that Colin E. Champ recommends. It works better. He is an oncologist It says one tablet which just is not working. Yesterday I took 3. Trying to stay away from ibuprophen. That is what I get for looking at the 25% off at Sprouts and the 3 dollar off Garden of life coupon.
Belinda, Kelly says on her Raw Lower Pyramid that you can mute the sound and just follow along and play your own music. That workout is a simple enough format to just follow looking at her. How many rounds are in that workout series.
Jolie, I would love to see pictures too. Your new home sounds like a dream vacation home
I hope that you can find something in a year that fits close to that. Coyotes are a problem. My daughter has had problems with them living out in the country. That is another reason they have two dogs to help protect each other. Theirs are labs. Great workout today. Nice that you were able to go heavier than Cathe on some of the moves.
