Hardcore Rotation Checkin for Wednesday October 26

Morning Ladies -

This morning I did Slow & Heavy Chest & Back. My rotation also called for a run, so I did 10 minute Solutions Carb Burner (3 sections = 30 minutes)modifying on the rebounder. This workout is perfect to do on the rebounder and during the warm up and cool downs of each 10 minute segments, I jogged with high knees on the rebounder. I then did abs/core from High Step Challenge & the stretch from High Step Challenge.

I can't wait until we get the treadmill we're supposed to be getting from my father-in-law's estate. I'm going to be able to work up to jogging (indoors). Hopefully my foot will be healed enough to start this when we get the treadmill.

I'm going to try & fit a 2nd workout in later today. I'll probably do a non-Cathe workout.

Sabrina - Did you go to a Cathe get together in Chicago? I must have missed that post. Did you get out of your funky mood?

Susan - Are you feeling a little better today?

Diana Sue - I remember you telling me once (a while ago) that you usually do a week (or 2) of circuit type training after you finish a Slow & Heavy rotation (or similar type of rotation), but I can't remember if you said you do it for 1 week or 2 weeks. I just wanted you to clarify this, as I'm planning on finishing up this October rotation, then taking a recovery week and then I was going to do a week (or two) of circuit type of workouts, i.e., The Gauntlet, High Step Challenge, etc.

Have great workouts everyone and I'll check back later.

On a totally off topic note- I'm wearing my "Sugar Skull" (Halloween Limited Edition blend) perfume oil today and I must say, I love it. It is "vibrant with the joy and sweetness of life in death! A blend of five sugars, lightly dusted with candied fruits". I must say it's really delectable. I also have another sweet one called Trick or Treat which is a fun candy corn blend!

(another lengthy checkin - sorry)
 
Good Morning Everyone!

Woo Hoo!!! The Sox won last night! :7 :7 :7 :7 Unfortunately, I did not get my workout done because the game was the longest in World Series history! :-( So, if I don't collapse I'll do the scheduled workout on the rotation or something that motivates me.

Lora ~ You'll love having a treadmill in your house. I'd be lost without it.

Diane Sue ~ Thanks for the recipe! I can't wait to try it.

I'll try and check back later. I have a busy day ahead of me.

Have great workouts everyone!

Hi Dallas and lora

Today is S&h back and chest which I am moving from tomorrow until today. Then I am suppose to do KPC but if I do I will do the premix that includes legs and gluetes. Or I may run depends on my mood when it is time for cardio :)

Lora-You have so many non cathe workouts too, I wish I were brave enough to risk getting some and not wind up liking them. I still think I will try Jillians though. If they are too easy I will do them back to back. What do you think?

Dallas-Congrats on the sox win!

Morning ladies!!

Lora-yes I went to the GTG in Chicago. It was a blast. There is a picture of me doing the levitation hold in the middle of the resturant (The Cheesecake Factory). Not a very flattering picture since I have my eyes closed though.

Dallas-Glad the Sox won!!

Terri-Do KPC do KPC!! I love KPC!! lol I bought the Jillian workouts but mine are STILL on backorder. I am not a happy camper about it. I have looked in the stores for them too and have not found them. I hope you can find them if you decide to get them.

Not sure what workout I am doing today. I am a little nerved up since I have decided to take a Real Estate class and it starts next week. I am scared to death. It has been a long time since I have been in school. I had to mail my registration form and check by today.

I will check in again later.

Have a great day!!

Terri if you want to venture out and do other instructor's VideoFitness is the place to go!! That is how I found out about Cathe 10 years ago :D I do mainly Cathe, but it is a nice change of pace to do others, and it makes you appriate Cathe so much more!!:D

Hey Sabrina Congrats on your new venture! I am sure you will do well!!

Diane Sue hope you are having a wonderful time with your dad:D

Hey Marietta you Cardio Queen:D

Hey Susan how are you doing? Are you feeling like Santa yet?? ha ha

Take care,
~Nicole
 
Hi guys,

I'm not any better.:( I went to bed extra early last night, but that didn't help.

This morning I did GS Shoulders and Back (subbed Barbell Pullovers,
modified back extensions and Prone Back Side Rotations for Good Mornings w/ 15 bb). For cardio I attempted KPC. Every time I 'pop pop and ducked' I thought my head was going to 'pop' off! SO, I stopped early.:( I'm so unbelievably tired. So, so tired. No man could ever have this stamina. I'm here at my office on time. The poor guy I work with had a "tough" trip last night and got in at 9:30 at night and was too tired to get to the office before 9:30. a-hole! sorry, I'm sooo mad, cranky, cold and oh yes, tired.

Sabrina, you'll do fine at your class. I know someone who took the class. I saw some of the books/documents she had to learn, and it seems pretty straightforward.

Dallas, how 'bout those Sox??? I watched the game the other night they won.

Lora, you'll like having a treadmill. I don't use mine that often, but it is a lot easier on the knees, plus with winter coming it'll be nice to have.

Have a good one!

came back to add: I've been hearing more about the Jillian workouts latley so I put them in my Neflix accound and should have them at my house tomorrow or Friday.
 
Hi Again -

I just wanted to comment on the Jillian Michaels DVD's. I still don't have my Maximize Complete ones (backorder), but Collage has them listed as more Intermediate/Advanced and the others are listed as Intermediate. I don't even know if I'm going to end up getting them because the place I have them on backorder says they can't guarantee they'll ever get them in. They are a lot more expensive at Collage though and since I'm unemployed, I better not pay more for them.

Terry - I think you might like Jillians if you do 3 of them back to back since you like long workouts.

Well my mood was just shot to heck! I just called Unemployment to register (they are just so friendly there, NOT). It is only good for 6 months and they no longer give you the 3 month extension. I really hope I find a job sooner than that, but this is a tough time of year for hiring and the area I live in is not exactly "booming" in the job market.

Also, a note to anyone with arthritic feet (like me) --- I've been using my "Footsie Roller" from the Body Shop. I had it buried in my closet and broke it out recently and it really does a good job at working the stiffness out of your feet.

I'm super depressed now.......I'm going to have to find a happy DVD...maybe I'll do Turbo Jam, as Chalene is usually pretty happy and the music is fun.
 
I just finished my 2nd workout. I did Yoga Booty Ballet Body Sculpting Bollywood Style. I repeated each segment twce.
 
Ok Back to say I did Slow and heavy back and chest. Then per Nicole :) I did KPC/LG premix. Eighty Three minutes for that pe-mix! It felt good!!

Susan-Sorry to hear you are still sick:( I hope you feel bette soon.
Lora-I copied Nicole again and am renting one of Jilians workouts from netflix. It is the fromt one. I will let ya know what I think of it.
Sabrina, Dallas, Marietta, Diane Sue-Hello to you all!

Terri
 
I'm back really quick before my dd's bus gets here.

Today I did GS-biceps (The rotation said to do MM-biceps, but I remember that one not being long enough.). I then did HSC fast forwarding through the leg resistance cycles. That was good that A-Jock said to do that because let me tell you my legs and butt are really feeling yesterday's workout! }( Major DOMS going on here. ha ha! I also skipped the back exercises because tomorrow calls for back. I pooped out on CM#3, so I'll add that on to tomorrow's workout. I sure hope the Sox can wrap this up tonight in 9 innings! LOL! I can't stay up again tonight. Last night's game finally finished after 1A!

Susan ~ I'm sorry you're feeling so badly. What is Netflix? I'll have to google it. Is it renting on-line? That's a good idea to try out the workouts before buying them.

Terri ~ Once again, you got a great workout in today. You two Lora, doubling up! You go girl! :7

Sabrina ~ Congratulations on your new venture!

Nicole ~ I hear you about that snooze button!:(

Have a good night!

Go White Sox!!!!!

Dallas
 
Looks like everyone has some great workouts going on today!! Way to go!! Not sure about mine since I have a parent/teacher conference again tonight (I had one yesterday too). This one will take longer since it is for my middle school boy and he has a different teacher for every subject.

I had an interesting afternoon. DH had a Futrex Body Composition done at work today and they told him I could come. He called me and I drove over there and had it done too. It told me I have 13.4% Body fat, my fat weight is 14.3, my lean weight is 92.2, my body mass index is 18.2. It was really cool! Here is a link to what they used.

Thank you ladies for all your well wishes on my new venture. I will keep you posted on how it goes. I start on Nov 3. The class is from 6:00-9:30pm on Mon and Thurs. There is also two Saturday's I have to go from 9:00 to 12:30.

Sorry for the long post!

I will be back later hopefully to post a workout! :)
 
Wow Sabrina! You're in great shape by the numbers! Also I seen the pic of you doing the levitation hold so I know you are in awesome shape! I hope you enjoy the Real Estate class and it all works out for you.
