Hardcore Rotation Checkin for Sunday Nov 13

Cathlete
Morning Ladies -

This morning I did Firm It Up followed by about 15 minutes of Tae Bo Live Basic Volume 8 (as I skipped the floor work). I wanted to do more aerobics but ran out of time. I have to get ready to be somewhere.

Nicole - I don't think I want to continue with a BB rotation after this 2nd week, as I've already been off of Cathe for 3 weeks and it will be a month after the end of this week. I need to get back to Cathe for a month before I take another BB break, but here's what I'm thinking for the next rotation. I made this up from your samples.

Tone it Up
Firm It Up
Sweat 3/4 and Ab ripper plus stretch
PHH Arms and PHH Legs/Thighs
Sweat 3/4 (or other aerobics) and abs of choice
Tear It Up

Mix It Up
Firm It Up
Cardio of choice and abs of choice
Sculpt 3/4
Sweat 3/4 or cardio of choice & ab ripper (or P90 Masters Core Cardio for me)
PHH Arms & PHH Legs/Thighs (or Plyo Legs for me)

How's that look for our next 2 weeks? I think I'm going to finish this week's Slim Training - however, I need to make adjustments and use other workouts for the days I have doctor appointments this week and I'm also adding in some cardio.

Terry - I'm really glad you won Tear It Up. That's my favorite one also!

Have great workouts everyone and I'll check back later. I think I might get my treadmill today from my SIL. My DH helped her move yesterday and we're supposed to go get the treadmill today. I can't wait!! I wonder if the doctor will let me run on my foot. I've been being really bad with my foot over the last couple weeks and I've been jumping on it a lot and it's bothering me a bit.
 
Good Morning All!

It is so windy here! I haven't worked out yet, but plan on doing PUB and a 20 minute run. I may run longer though. My two boys are coughing so I don't think we are going to church.

Lora ~ Thanks for replying to my question yesterday. My dh thinks it has something to do with my back. I probably should get it checked out. I woke up today an no pain at all except for the slight DOMS from PLB yesterday. Do you remember how much you paid for Turbo Jam? I'm getting a "second chance" offer. The bidding has ended. I guess this person has another one to sell or something. My final bid was $22.

Terri ~ Way to go winning Tear it up! You all have me very interested in that series. Hmm, the Original Club Step or the Slim Series for Christmas? How's the family?

Nicole ~ What rotation are you starting next? Has it been 2 weeks of SS for you already?! That went fast.

Have a great day everyone!

Dallas
 
Hello Everyone,
Today is my rest day!! Yay...... I needed after doing Tear it up yesterday. I may pull out one of my yogo dvds, and do it later today.

Lora I like your rotation!! I might do some of PHH abs in place of ab ripper one of those days!! I really like his standing ab work he does!!Now if I understand you correctly???? We will start this rotation next mon. the 21st??? You are going to do one more week of Slim series like last week??? Let me know!


Dallas no mon. will be the 2nd week of slim series. I don't know about you buying those turbo jams. Ya know they had a lot of problems with those. They have had to be remastered. I would be afraid of getting a bad batch???? I would like to order Turbo Jams to. I am waiting.......... I hear they have new and longer dvds coming out soon, but still...... I MAY break down and order, and if I do....... I will order from BB. Hope your neck etc...... is feeling better. I say listen to your body. I had psyatica for 4 months and was able to work through it. Cathe's POWER HOUR is what really helped. maybe you should pull that one out???? I did it 2-3 times per week for a few months, and it turned things around??? I think it was the deadlifts!!


Terri CONGRATS on winning Tear it up!! My friend swears by that one dvd alone??? (she has the set, but really just does this one) Her arms were defined before she started, but when she started doing TIU she got even better? She is really amazed by this dvd? She will just do 30 min. and go run 30min and do some eliptica. Btw my dd6 was doing the final stretch with me yesterday, and thought Debbie was to
skinny ha ha.

Take care,
~Nicole
 
Hi Dallas - I think I paid around $90 for my TurboJam. I got the entire set from Beachbody. They're quite pricey! I really like them though. I was thinking how much I liked them when I did an older Tae Bo this morning. I still like The Tae Bo Lives and Billy (I like him even though he counts unevenly), but I really like Turbo Jam as an updated version of Tae Bo.

Nicole - I'm just curious. How much weight do you want to lose? I know you always like to do the Fat Loss rotations with me. I would like to lose a total of 7, but I dont' know if that will ever happen. I did lose 1 over the past couple of weeks. I need to lose a couple more so my work pants will fit a little more comfortably! I can't afford new ones. I'm so frustrated right now with my jeans.....all of my old ones are still too tight and my newer ones are a bit too big and fall down. I think I'm between sizes. I hate that! I guess I'll just wear a belt all of time.
 
Hey Lora,
My goal is to get rid of that thin layer of fat on my belly?? It is slowly but surely going away, but I am hoping SS will blast it away. I got hooked of Fat loss rotations when I started the Hardcores I just LOVE the way I feel when I am doing them!! I can't wait to do one of those again!!

~Nicole
 
Hi Ladies and thanks for the congrats on my winning the dvd, I only paid 5.95 for it plus 3 bucks for shipping which to me is high. I know it doesn't csot that much to ship but since I got a good price on the dvd I am happy!

Dallas-Honestly I wouldn't pay full price for the series. Keep checking e-bay for it since your Target doesn't have any of them. To me it is a series that does not contain the fun factor like cathe where you want to do then over and over. Of course I have only done 2 of them. Did you read my review of the second one yesterday? I think for me I would add these into a rotation like I did this week but honestly don't know if I could do strictly SS for a rotation. Just my opinion:) Great series to switch things up pand get some doifferent muscles hit but you are too much like me and I know you would add so much more to your day then just SS. Ok was that more advice then you wanted ? :)

Nicole-I am excited to try Tear it up. Lora says too that I will like this one best. I do like how they are giving me doms in muscles that I never had doms in before but like I told Dallas I have to add to them to feel really worked out. Later in the day of course. I always do two workouts a day anyway though. So when I do these I add cardio later :)

Today is suppose to be a hardcore extreme workout and then abs. However I think I may do KPC this am and run later and do abs. I am just not into hardcore extreme today.

Lora-I must tell you that sice I started not lifting super heavy on my lower body a month or so ago I have leaned out there some. My pants are loose in the but and thigh area. So I think freestyle with some heavy here and there is the way to go for me in lowerbody. Or it could be the fact that family stress has taken my appetite.

An update on my family that I am almost to embarrased to share. My brother (who got in the fight with dad) started calling me friday night and threatening me, He started in yesterday as well about 3 in the afternoon. Calls, threatens and then hangs up! I tried calling my mom there and my niece said "she doesn't want to talk to you" She finally called me back and while my brother was in the background making horrible comments she laughed! I asked her what was so funny and she replied, "Oh your brother wouldn't hurt you". I was in shock and said well he hurt dad! This whole situation is so nutty and has me so depressed. I fear this family is permanently broken.

So I went out with friends last night and saw North Country. It was a good movie but the way those women were treated had my blood boiling!

Hello to everyone and have a great sunday. My son is coming up this afternoon and we are going to go see my dad. My son bought him a cd player so he can listen to my sons band cd that was released. It still seems weird to go to Amazon and see them selling the cd! I am so proud :)

Terri
 
Hey Dallas I think you should go with the oring. club step!! One of my most used and LOVED pieces of equip!! I have the reebok step the black with red lettering, and when I got the orig. club step I could not believe the difference!! Not as hard impact when stepping. The club step has more give!! Also it works GREAT with my high step. I like having the extra risers for wt lifting!!

I am enjoying SS's, but it is NO Cathe:D I found my old receipt the other day, and I paid 60.00 dollars. I had free shipping because I opted to pay in one full payment. I say they were well worth the 60.00 for the 6 dvds. I like having them all for variety, and just knowing I have them all ha ha. I noticed this week that she does hit harder on different body parts on the dvds??. I find that I can't do these workouts to long....... because........... I have ADD:7 ha ha.

Hey Terri can you give me the link to your sons cd??

Thanks,
~Nicole
 
Hi Nicole,

Here is the link to his website http://karmaghost.net/. That page there will link you to Amazon if you want to buy it from them but meantime he has some rough demos you can listen to on his site. My son is the singer and guitarist and the tall good looking guy on the site :)

Nicole I am so confused about slim in6. When i go to their site all I find is the two dvd's I have. I see from looking on amazon besides tear it up there are more. Why cant I find them on beachbody? Am I being blind or what?

Hey Terri,

Will this help?:

I know I was getting confused about Slim in 6 and the Slim Series. If you go where it says "choose a product", you'll see all the different series. HTH! :)

Thanks for the advice Nicole for that sciatic pain you were experiencing. I had that when I was pregnant with my son and now that you mentioned that the pain seems similar. It goes down into my leg sometimes. So, you think PH did the trick for you? I'm thinking tonight when I get the kids to bed I'm going to break out cutie pie Bryan Kest and do some yoga. After 2 days of the Pyramids it will be a nice treat! ha ha! I have to say I missed the Pyramids. I feel good and worked out. Cathe is really amazing how she puts the workouts together! Aren't we all so lucky! :7 :7 :7

Terri ~ I'm going to check out Amazon for your son's CD. That is so awesome! Finally some happy news, right!? You're a strong lady. You will get through this!

Lora ~ Thanks for the advice on Turbo Jam. I've read on here great things about it. I just wished that they didn't make you buy the whole series. I just want the two workouts.

Have a good day everyone!

Dallas

ETA: Terri, I just clicked on the link for their song, "Let Me Think". Wow! They sound really good! Now I have to mosey on over to Amazon and check out their CD! :D
 
Nicole - I'm doing 1 more week of Slim Training this week (but modified cuz of doctor appointments and time restraints). After I finish this week, I'm starting Cathe's November Rotations. I will have been off of Cathe for 1 month after this week and I don't want to stay off of her much longer. After the November Rotation, I will do the Beachbody one again. I'll understand if you don't want to do this. I just don't want to stay away from Cathe that long.

Hey everyone - my treadmill is hooked up downstairs. Now all I need is the okay from the doctor to run on my foot and I can start with run/walks on it!
 
Dalls, Glad you liked the song! The rest are all good as well IMO and of course I am biased:) I wish they would get the cd cover up on the amazon site. Hopefully monday! Kali from the forums pre-ordered the cd and she loves it. She got it yesterday. I will pass on your kind words to him. Theyy are playing a big venue here in Denver the 8th and I am so excited!

Ok Nicole and Lora I decided I am going to do tone it up again today. And shape it up again tomorrow. I ran for an hour today and now I will do tone it up. I am loving the doms. When my son and I went to see my dad my son asked me why I was walking funny and I said cause my hips and butt hurt! He was like oh working out too much again huh. I replied no not really just different workout. :)

Ok Off to do tone it up!

Terri
 
Terri--I ordered your sons CD from Amazon. Would the band be willing to sign the CD if I sent it to you? (I asked in my post above but I was not sure if you seen it.) Not sure when I will get the CD. I will have to keep you posted. ;-)
 
Sabrina yes the band will sign it if you send it to me. He said he would be more then happy to! Let me know when you get it and I will send you my address!
