Hardcore Rotation Checkin for Saturday Dec 3

[lorajc]

Hi Everyone -

This morning I did Firm Total Body Sculpt (3) and since that didn't feel like quite enough, I added 15 minutes upper body toning from Shape's Bikini Ready Body DVD (I think that's the name of it) and 15 more minutes of cardio (hi/lo intervals) from the same DVD. I then added a 5 minute pilates ab toning section from Shape your Abs DVD. I hope I didn't overdo it, as I"m still not feeling all that great, but I felt like I needed to work out a bit harder today.

I hate to complain, but my pain from my disc problem has been really bad since the weather got really cold and snowy here. I have horrible spasms in both of my shoulders, traps and down into my leveator scapulae. They feel like cement. Hopefully my soak in the tub with Epsoms salts will help a bit and then I'll use my percussion massager.

I got those Shape DVDs yesterday. That darned Videofitness site. I preordered these a few months ago, as I like Michelle Dozois and Tracy York and they lead them. I previewed them last night and thought....eh? I dunno....they look so/so.....but after doing the upper body toning, and cardio, I've changed my mind a bit. The music is generic and so is the set, but I kinda liked the workout. The cardio is really different than everything else I have (which is good) and it was fun and the toning also had some unique moves. I'll probably put them aside for now until my next Cathe break though. Yes, I spend all of my money on perfume oils and exercise DVDs. I always wait till Christmas to get clothes! LOL

Have great workouts everyone.

Happy Saturday!

I plan to get some shopping done today and maybe even finish! As for workouts I am doing lowmax and tone it up and Chest and tris. Did I tell you ladies I won firm it up on ebay? I hope it comes this week. I have noticed the mail is slower already!

Lora-I hope the soak in the tub helps you! Thanks for the review on your new workouts.
Sabrina-I am sure the cd will be there by monday. Son said he mailed it late wednesday so it may not have gone out until thuursday so I would guess monday. Let me know. When we realized the bass player hadn't signed it my son was adamat that she had to sign it as well so he drove to her work and had it signed. They are so busy rught now as they play at a big venue here this thursday night! I am so excited. I bought a new out fit
Dallas-I sent you an e-mail but no I still don't have much of an appetite.
Nicole-I am loving the SS and what is does for the lower body. However my son says I am tooo thin. I think that is from the lack of appeite though. But I know my lower body looks so much better if I do these workouts as opposed to heavy weights! Thanks to you and Lora for telling me about these
Sabrina-You must be getting so excited and nervous about the exams coming up!

Hello to everyone else. I will check back later!

Hi guys,

Lora, I know what you mean about that videofitness site! I think you and Nicole both pointed that one out. I've ONLY done Cathe until yesterday, with my new Powerstrike kickbox and Firm It Up sometime soon.

I'm supposed to do ME today. Hopefully I'll get to it later.
I'm so overwhelmed with papers around this house, that's all I've done today. You simply would NOT believe the amount to papers/catalogs/letters/newpapers/magainzes/bills that come into this house on a daily basis. Keep a file holder out for Bills, Coupons, To File, To Do, Receipts etc. and still, there's more more more!

Have a great rest of the weekend!
Susan

Hello Everyone,
Well I never got my workout in yesterday. I was just not feeling up to it, and my dd6 is sick again (fever). I hope this is not going to be our winter. Passing illness back and forth.

Lora WOW you put in quite a workout today!! Take it easy... I worry about you and your back. Did you get the okay from Dr. about your foot?

Terri I am so happy you are enjoying your SS dvds. Ya know I was going to put these away for awhile and do another cathe rotation, but I find I can't ha ha. I LOVE the simplicity of these workouts, and they are deceptively HARD;-) I say if you your ds says you are to skinny you should go all out and have a pigfest:7

Susan it sounds like you are going to town with that book:7 What a perfect thing for you to do before you have the new baby!! Yes I can believe ALL of the junk mail you get because.... I get it tox( But doesn't it feel so GOOD to through it all out!!


Dallas my DD is 12 going on 30 She gets all A's is so organized and responsible.... Me and dh laugh, and wonder where she come from :7 She even packed my bag for me when I was at the hospital. (I did't trust my dh) I feel so lucky to have her!! As well as all the other kids!! They are growing up way to quickly!!

Sabrina have you had a chance yet to do any of your new dvds? I can't wait to hear your reviews!!


Hello to Sabrina, Marietta and Diane Sue!! Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!
