I'm amazed...

...at the increase in my stamina since I've been doing the new workouts (and others) consistently for the past 3 months. Today, for the first time in ages, I did Imax3, and lo and behold I held in there throughout the whole thing. I made a modification on the one where you jump on the floor the length of the step (I leaped from one foot to the other across the top end of the step because my first jump didn't clear it), and on the segment where you do all those plia (?) jacks, I skipped the last set of 8. Other than that, I did the whole thing!

On my previous attempt I could not even do the jumps over the step on the first segment. I'm 44 years old and 150lbs and I am so psyched!

Linda,

Congratulations! I'm so proud of you. That is not an easy w/o. I'm still modifying more than you, in hopes that one day I'll be able to do it without much of that.

Good job!

Good for you, Linda. I noticed with the new series to that ME/BC is much easier. Isn't it great!! KUDOS.

Woo hoo, Linda! It's funny but I was going to post a very similar observation. I did the entire November rotation (a first for me). Well, the other day I decided to try Imax 3 with an 8" step for the first time (I'm a shorty at barely 5'1") because I was feeling particularly energetic...I know, CRAZY }( ! Well, I did it with no modifications! Prior to the November rotation that would NEVER have been possible. It's very true what Cathe says in DM about how "you are going to be so fit" and "heading to better places".

Congratulations,
Wendi

Thanks for your encouragement ladies. It just keeps getting better - I ran 5.5 miles today, and felt great. I used to do a lot of running but I hadn't since I had twins five years ago. It was no struggle at all thanks to Cathe's training program.

I'm amazed at you guys! I've been struggling to get back into shape after taking a while off. Doing anything on an 8" step is completely out of the question. I'm working on it though!
