Hi Everyone,

I did GS Chest & Triceps this morning and since I don't run, I did 25 minutes of higher intensity cardio from The Gauntlet. I did a double stretch at the end. A couple more days and then I'm off to Vegas, so after Friday, I won't be checking in for a few days....in case I forget to say bye on Friday.

I love looking at the different combos everyone puts together. I'm so bad at that. I'm like "ADD" girl when I workout without using a DVD or plan. I usually get sidetracked all over the place and it takes me forever to workout. I like to keep my workouts to about 1 hour or 1 hour and 15 minutes generally. Do we have a thread somewhere where everyone puts together their favorite combos? After seeing that post yesterday from the person (can't remember who now) did the HSTA legs & cardio, MM leg premix and the LowMax blasts with cool down.......it got me to thinking it would be nice if I could get lots of ideas like this cuz then I could write them down and have them for future planning.

Have great workouts everyone.
 
Hi!
This morning was cardio. I choose KPC.

I used to do my own mish-moshes. I haven't done that in a while. It's so hard to get up in the morning for me, that I start later than I want/need to. My favorites were when I'd do one body part/day. I'd do SH, PUB, PS (back to back) then tack on either cardio form CTX or abs.

I've been enjoying the Gym Styles combos so much right now, but may go back to that type of rotation for May.

I'll check back later this afternoon!

Hello Everbody ~

I was up at 4:00AM this morning! Can't find my hardcopy of the April rotation (my house is so clean and picked up I don't know where I put it!) so I logged onto the website and felt a little queasy when I saw it was GS Legs floorwork. (In the back of my mind, I knew it was a "legs day".) AnyWHO, I did it all (even exceeded some of Cathe's weights on lunges and used a 16" step for the first set of leg presses.) Also did a very focused, "in the zone" Segment 1 of Coremax. I'm feeling maxed out emotionally (TTOM) so I'll reflect back on my early AM achievement to boast my spirit!

Have a great day everyone! (Gotta get back to work!)

P.S. Lora: If I miss your post before your trip to LV, have a great time! I'll miss your check-in while you're away...

Good morning, KPC for me today instead of KM ( Just can't get into that one as a whole).

Have a great day everyone.
 
I am new so could someone tell me where the april rotation plan is? Thanks in advance. Is there one out for may yet? You all so inspire me to keep going. I have worked out many years but recently feel like it is more work then fun. Maybe because I really need a vacation from everything. I was injured by a drunk driver in Nov. 2003 and that was a set back. I was in treatments for 10 months so had to let up a bit on my workouts. Then running my own business is a stress at times. I am single with no kids still living in my home. My son is 23 so I shouldnt complain as you all seem to have more to juggle with younger kids and hubbies etc.

Thanks for your support

Hi Terri,
Welcome to our daily check in!

Here is April's rotation:
http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=7&topic_id=2626&mesg_id=2626&page=

You can locate rotation in the ROTATION section of this forum.

Working out should be fun, if it's not then maybe you could try different types of workouts and see if you like them. For example, I really didnt like kickboxing. When I was getting tired of doing Step, I gave KPC a try, and now really like it a lot!
What videos do you have?

By the way, I'm very sorry to hear of your accident. I think I'd become angry and bitter. There are so many good people of this forum that are supportive no matter what life throws at you/us.

Hi Susan,

Thanks for the warm welcome and the url for the rotation. I only have tow of the hardcore dvd's. Coremax and highstep. I have used my tivo and have a fittv version of her lowmax but I know it is not the whole workout. I also have most of her other stuff from fittv. Maybe I need to order some new dvd's to get me back in the FUN zone. I really enjoy her workouts!

Oh Trust me I was bitter and angry for a long time! Not to mention depressed. But at leat the depression is over. Thanks again and I am thrilled to be a part of these forums now!

Hi everyone,
Todays workout was Kick Max w/u and cardio only, KPC intermediate and High intensity drills, followed by abs, then Core Max #3, gym stlyle Back, Shoulders, & biceps. I am not sure how the rest of the week will go. We have family from Washington coming in tonight and I am having a dinner for 20 tomorrow. My dh leaves for Iraq on Tues. so I am very busy.

Welcome Terri, it is good to have you join our checkin group. I think you will find a lot of help here:)

Mary I am glad to hear you are feeling better.

Kim it sounds like you had a good workout. I love feeling like I really put a lot of concentration into the moves that I am doing. 16 inch step? I used 17 a few times and dropped back to 14. I just feel it a lot in my knees when I go higher. Good for you!!

Lora, wish I was going to Las Vegas. We have been there many times and really enjoy it. I hope you have a great time if I don't get a chance to tell you.

Have a great evening everyone

Hi Nicole,

Thanks for the warm welcome! I started off slow after the accident using my treadmill for power walking. Then I saw cathe on fit tv and I was hooked. I am looking forward to getting more of her dvd's. I am now doing a cardio workout a day and weightlifting and abs daily. Alternating with jogging on the treadmill.

Four boys! I know you must be busy!
