Morning everyone!

HC Extreme (2) for me this morning - that's a killer at 5:15am!

What does everyone else do re: step height? I kept mine at 6" as I thought 8" would be too much doing the Imax3 intervals...I think I made the right decision.

lorajc: I missed everyone too. I've still been been doing the rotation, just too busy to post. Good luck with all your dental work! I know it can be really frustrating not being able to exercise (I was in the same situ the end of last year when I had a mole removed) - make sure you take it steady and look after yourself!

Eats today:
porridge
ryvita & hoummous
veggie soup
v8 & nuts
chicken & veggies

Have a great day,
Andrea
 
Mornin' ladies - I'm on the fatloss rotation - except for my minor set back of "no exercise allowed" for 3 days. I didn't even work my core cuz the doctor said "no exertion". I wasn't even supposed to be on my feet yesterday, but I was all day and the bleeding wouldn't stop, so I guess I better listen. I did StretchMax with the band this morning. I will probably do another stretch segment tomorrow and hopefully I can work out Thursday (just not at full capacity). If I have no bleeding or pain by Friday, perhaps I can go full intensity. We'll see.

I had yogurt this AM and will have Shredded Wheats in a bit. I'll have a pear and apple for snacks and I'm not sure about lunch or dinner yet.

Have a good day everyone.

P.S. Since I stayed home from work today, I might go a little crazy and order some more Cathe DVDs to round out my collection. I'm thinking of getting The Strength Series, Slow & Heavy, CTX, MIC/IMAX 1 & Rhythmic Step, as well as Cardio Kicks. I'm just trying to make myself believe it's okay to spend that much money. I want to be able to do all of the rotations, so I NEED this stuff, right?
 
Good morning everyone - i have been off rotation for the past 3 days due to unexpected circumstances (for some reason I decided Saturday morning to repaint most of my house and I worked from early am to late at night for the past 3 days painting) , but jumped back in today. I can't do HSC because the ceilings in my basement where I workout are too low for a high step, so I did Boot Camp instead. That was like coming home to a long lost friend - I LOVE that workout! And the best part of it is that I don't have to worry about working my core later today - it's already done! Tomorrow I'm going to do LowMax.

Have a great day! Take it easy Lorajc - and after what you've gone through, you definitely deserve to have any Cathe that you want.

Hi Everyone,
This morning was Lowmax. My first time doing it all the way through. I just love this workout. I'm suppose to do GS Legs tomorrow. I'll have to see if I can still walk.

Have a Great day!

Hi Ladies,

I started week three of the strength rotation yesterday. I did a 6.2 mile run and Gym Style Chest and Triceps. Tonight will either be Lo Max and GS BSB or another run and two segments of core max.

Has anyone done 2 segments of Coremax back to back yet? I am not sure I will get through that...

lorajc, you should get all those Cathe's... }(

Have a great day!!

Beverly
 
Hi everyone!

This morning was Lowmax and ab hits. I really like this one the more I do it. That 8 inch step really does the trick on the intensity!
Have a great day all.
 
Hi everyone!

Today will be HSC. I passed my initial interview yesterday and have a 2-hour follow-up panel interview tomorrow in front of 4 people! So I think I may take tomorrow as a rest day!
 
Hey there! I chickened out on LowMax today. Two times I've tried that w/o got to flustered and my w/o ended up being a flop. So, I did IMAX2 and C&W abs.

Hi everyone,
I did I Max 3 and Intervals 1-5 of I Max2 this morning. I followed this with Tough Core and Balanced Core and 10 minutes of ab work using my Bowflex, then I did Stretch Max with the ball. Beverly, the first time I did the Core Max workouts I did all 3 at once. I now try and add more resistance to make them tougher. For step height on the HC Extremes I keep it at 8 inch except for the part where you do intervals 6&7 and then I lower it so I only change it there and move it back up.

Hi Everyone:)
I am on my way to being a AM. exerciser:7 Today I did lowmax. Tommorrow I am going to be doing HC extreme not sure which one. HELP me decide?? This is the only dvd of HC series that I have not done yet:eek:

Take care,
~Nicole
 
Diane Sue,

Wow, all 3 core workouts at once. Did you get sore? I think I will try #2 and #3 together.

Thanks,

Beverly
 
Nicole,
Since you already did Low Max maybe you should choose either the HC Extreme Interval Circuit or the Interval Blasts plus legs which has the Kick Max blasts & leg conditioning.
Beverly doing all of the Core Max workouts did not make me sore. So now I add toe weights to my shoes and pick up a 20# dumbell and hold it on my chest for a lot of the crunches. I also use a 10# med ball. I have a hard time feeling the ab exercises anymore.
Diane Sue
 
Congrats Nicole P on your AM workouts.

I can barely get thru 1 core segment.......more power to ya if you can do 3 or even 2.

I ended up ordering a bunch of Cathe DVD's today. I want to make sure I can follow the rotations as closely as possible in the future.
 
Hi everyone

IMAX 3 for me today.

Andrea--I switch back and forth from an 8 inch to a 6 inch step for HCX #2. And I think it's a killer any time of day:p , but at 5:15 am I cannot even imagine.

Lunacat--good luck on the interview.

take care all
