Hardcore Fitness Maniacs October 2026

Good morning,

I can’t believe it’s October already? Not looking forward to colder weather.

I will do live zoom dance and a stretch shortly.

I will be back for personals
 
I can't believe it's October either
Today I did a leg workout. I really have to strengthen my quad. Bending a little better still got a little bit more to go.
 
I love fall so much but I don't want winter to get here. It's already quite cool here but right now I love it!!

This morning I did RAW Box & Butt and had a great workout. I used my Egg Weights and my 5# ankle weights and a 25# dumbbell. Killer workout on the legs.

Workout was 47 minutes, burned 345 calories, did 1635 steps and HR was 130/180.

Roselyn - You'll get your strength back. It took me a while after I had my knee surgery on that torn meniscus. But it didn't seem like it took too long to get back to normal.

Belinda - Havea great workout!!

Have a good day everyone!!
 
Yesterday I walked 5 miles with the pup and then did a few Chest exercises when I got back home. I am so weak, but I know I will get my strength back in no time. Today I did a 4 mile walk with the pup and did a few Shoulder, Biceps and Triceps exercises just to get myself back into some kind of routine. It feels good to feel a little sore :) We are in for an Indian Summer heat wave starting tomorrow and it will be in the 90's the next 10 days!!!! I hate this weather and it happens every darn year! Now all of the rattle snakes will come back out, and I have to watch where I am walking every day.

Debbie, I am so sick of the Cathe workouts myself. I think I could get rid of all the dvds and not miss them at all! I like shorter and more basic workouts like the RAW ones or like Caroline Girvan but shorter! My life is so good now that I picked up the walking again and getting a lot of steps in each day. My physique has less muscles, but I have more definition! It just makes the fat come right off the body! I eat what I want, and it makes life so much better to get fresh air and sunlight each day. I do love to walk on the TM uphill with the weighted vest on too! The ankle weights do not hurt my knees at all, but I will NOT go heavier than 2# ever! Nice job on sleeping in, sometimes we need it this time of the year since it is so darn dark in the mornings.

Diane Sue, nice job getting all of the work done on your house and especially your gym room. I am glad to hear you are doing well and I get it about the heavy weights. I never pick up anything heavier than a 20# DB, I see no reason for it anymore.

Belinda, have a great workout today.

Roselyn, way to go on the leg workout! Getting our strength back at this age takes a bit longer but we can do it!

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

This morning I did RAW Kickbox July and had a great workout. The more I do this one the more I love it - it is SO FUN! Great combos and music. I just love it.

Workout was 41 minutes, burned 360 calories, did 4521 steps and HR was 140/160.

Jolie - I'm with you, lifting heavy at this point is just looking to get injured. I still love lifting heavy when I can, but I am really careful. Plus no one even notices. I do not look muscular anymore at all and if I could get my eating under control and lose some fluff, I'd have a bit more definition. I'm trying. I think back to how I used to workout and how I looked - I still find pictures here and there and cannot believe how cut and muscular I was. I miss those days. I hate getting old. LOL on Cathe's workouts. I still love them, I just have no desire to do them. I'm hoping since I purchased that very expensive package I'll want to them again before the subscription expires. I suppose I should go look on her channel and see what's out there. You would love the boxing workout I did this morning, it is fun!!

I am so happy it's Friday and I just got an order from my website!!! I'm so excited! They ordered my Sunflower salt bars - 7 of them!! Woo hoo!! Hope the orders keep coming.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Today I did LMR Functional Pilates. I needed to do something. I spent time clearing up the yard and pepper vine growing all over. Those things are awful. They spread all over the lawn and planters. I had to cut a lot out and use round up. Belinda, I am glad your daughters surgery went well.
 
This morning I did RAW Weights 1 and had a great workout. I really like this one - it is a tabata style workout and it's tough.

Workout was 53 minutes, burned 365 calories and HR was 121/144.

No time for personals, I had to miss part of the day to take my mom to a follow up appointment. Hope you all have a great day!!!
 
Hi,

Today I finally got a workout in. I did LMR TB plus Pilates.

Diane - great job on LMR Pilates. Thank you on DD.

Debbie - Great job on your workout.

Good night.

Today I did LMR Elevated Total Body, 51 minutes, 200 calories. I got my Power Cycle dvd in the mail today. Now I need to drag my spin bike into the house from the garage. This is the second time I ordered that dvd. The first time it arrived at our other house the day we closed on the house. I never received it. I decided ordering again was still less money than paying for the download. More convenient too.

Belinda, nice work on LMR Total Body plus Pilates.

Debbie, great job on Raw Weights 1. I hope that your mother's follow up appointment went well.
 
This morning I did RAW Box & Waistline. I haven't done this one in a very long time and remember loving it, I love the music, too - 70's!! Fun workout. I swear, as much as I box and kickbox, you would think I would have wash-board abs. Yeah, no!!! Not even close. I am working on the eating and doing well with it so far.

Workout was 35 minutes, burned 313 calories, did 2459 steps and HR was 142/188

I also did my hip stretching because I felt a shock go down my leg this morning. I'm not going through that again!!

Belinda - I'm glad everything went well for you DD. That is good news! I hope she is doing well. Good job getting a workout in!

Diane - So good to see you workout again! Nice job on LMR Elevated Total Body. So did you have to pay for that DVD twice? I would have contacted them and said I never received it. I guess if it wasn't too expensive then it really doesn't matter.

Have a great day everyone!!

Hi,

I did live zoom dancing and Pilates. I wasn’t in the mood to do LMR Yoga. I think I get enough stretching with Pilates.

Debbie - thank you. She is doing well. Great job on Box and Waistline, great title. I agree with Debbie on contacting Cathe customer service. They are great with these things. It happened to me too. Sorry about it.

Good night.

I realized today that Kelly doesn't have many stand alone leg workouts, especially for strength. They are all mostly body weight exercise workouts. I did RAW Butts & Guts and it sure isn't like Cathe's Butts & Guts. This one was just body weight exercises and used the fabric band for glute raises. It is still a really good workout, though. It's tabata style. I wish she would do more heavy lifting leg workouts.

Workout was 38 minutes, burned 198 calories and HR was 104/139.

Belinda - Great job with your workout.

Where is Roselyn? I hope she's doing ok. Jolie & Roxie too - check in ladies!

Havea great day everyone!

Good night.

Yesterday I did Cathe Pedal Power 35 minutes stopping at the 2nd harder tabata 168 calories. The bike said 250 calories though and 6.89 miles. The spin bike never works well with the Garmin because I was sweating and breathing hard on the climbs. I followed that with Lauren Stability Ball Strength and Stretch, 25 minutes, 79 calories. Total time 60 minutes, 247 calories. Today I went in for another infusion then did more yard work and looking up plant names. I think I need to get rid of the ones that are toxic for dogs. Hopefully I will get in another workout tomorrow.

Debbie, I figured it was cheaper than getting the download even though I paid for it twice. It was too much hassle trying to get address changes between my daughter's house and this one. I am still trying to get that all changed. I had to change my stuff on Cathe's and I had to call my back because my debit card did not get the address change when my husband put it in at the bank. Then Pay Pal still has not accepted my address change, they keep saying try later. Lots of frustration there.

It is late and I am tired. I will check back tomorrow.
 
This morning I did RAW Kickbox 2 Pop Rock and had a great workout. This one is fun. I stopped after the first part because at the end she does all the moves faster and I ran out of time. Still had a great workout.

Workout was 42 minutes, burned 393 calories, did 3517 steps and HR was 145/186. Sort of high for me, not sure what's going on.

My bus driver banquet is tonight, I can't believe it's already time for my first event of the school year. Yikes!!!

Roselyn - I hope the PT helps your knee. Good job on your workout!!

Belinda - I thought about emailing Kelly but I have in the past and never hear back from her. She used to respond to my emails all the time and that last few times I've emailed her she hasn't. :(

Diane - Good job with your workout!! I have had the same issues with Paypal, not sure what is going on. I'm not changing addresses, but I'm trying to set one up for my business. I'm not even sure if it works. I should test it out.

Have a great day everyone!!

Hi,

Today I did live zoom dance classes. I ran out of time doing Pilates.

My permanent brace broke again. I had to see the orthodonist to get it fixed. The girl that fixed my braces, said the wire is too short behind my tooth, it should be a little longer across :( the bonding keeps breaking off, it shouldn’t. She made a note if it‘s happening again, they have to put a longer permanent wire in. I can’t have this happening every 2 weeks. Fingers crossed this will hold this time.

Diane - great idea looking up plants that can hurt your dogs. Glad your infusion went well today. How long do you have to stay at the infusion center? Great job with your workouts. I never burned a lot of calories on a bike even when I was sweating buckets.

Debbie - Kelly has a Facebook page. Maybe she answers you. I know a lot of people if they request workouts, they openly ask questions. She answered on FB, I have not checked her page in while. That is weird she isn’t answering your emails. Great job on your workout this morning.

Good night.

No workout today, I had my Bus Driver Banquet last night and I am wiped out. Slept in so that felt great.

Belinda - I don't have a FB page yet. I tried signing up but idiot META locked me out. Those people are idiots, you can't even get a hold of anymore. I had to send a snail mail letter to them which they did sign for. Still, nothing. I may have to create another page one of these days.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Evening,

Today I did LMR LB plus pilates for the core and hips.

DD and I got our hair done today, we also went out for a late lunch. Had a great time.

Debbie. - yeah, I hear you. They sure don’t make easy to get a hold of them anymore. Creating another page is probably the way to go.

Good night.
