Let's Do Lunch Together :)

Just wanted to say THANKS for that rotation suggestion for Jay. I'm saving it! Just finished my lunch - apple, carrots, rice cakes and peanut butter (Smucker's All Natural). LOVE IT.
 
An oldie but goodie Melissa! I remember timing that one in my old house with bare feet and glasses on at like 4am....lol

Your lunch sounds refreshing...yum!

Mmmm, your lunch sounds delish, Cathe. I'm having tuna in a pita pocket and an apple.

How was your silver sneakers class this morning?

I broke out CTX All Step last night. I was a sweaty mess when I was done...:D!! It's been awhile since I've done that one but it has a special place in my heart since it is the first "Cathe" workout I owned/mastered. And it took a while to master it, let me tell ya!! I did eventually upgrade to the CTX DVD, but I just can't seem to part with my VHS copy of All Step!!!

Enjoy your day!!

Hi Cathe,

I had a boring lunch of lentil soup, a tomato and a cucumber.

This morning I did Slow and Heavy Legs and Shoulders and I just wanted to tell you that SH is my favourite of your series. It really taught me great form when I first started doing it and I love how you can feel every aspect of the muscles working according to the exercise. I definitely prefer to work low reps and heavy weight (not that you can lift all that heavy in SH, but it sure FEELS heavy!) I have to admit, though, that I prefer to do my stretching after the body part is finished, so I wait until the end and do it then.
 
It sure is Marshalyn! But after two weeks shake up the order and the premixes so your body doesn't know the routine.

For example:

Mon: Butts and Guts
Tues: Low Max
Wed: if you have the time...add a 30 minute walk/run
Thurs: Push Pull (do a premix)
Fri: Drill Max (do a different premix)

Hey Cathe,

I currently do Push/Pull or SuperSets on Monday, Drill Max cardio premix on Tue, LowMax Thur & Butts & Guts Premix on Friday, is this a good rotation in your opinion? Thank you in advance for your time. You are amazing! :D

Thank you Cathe! I have about 4 of your other dvd's too, so based on your answer, I should be changing them up every 2 weeks or so. I appreciate you & all you do for us :)

Ice cream

Speaking of....Walmart has a very good Great Valu brand low fat chocolate - 90 cal. per 1/2 c. serving. Their Great Valu brand chunky peanut butter is very good, too. I'm a penny pincher.
 
I ate a healthy lunch but all this talk of ice cream is making me want to run out & get some. My fav is Blue Bell chocolate decadence. (Chocoholic here) - don't know if they make it any more; I try not to look because it's so tempting & then I have do more cardio to burn it off :p- but it's choc ice cream w/choc chips & choc syrup. Yummmmm; Ok time to focus on something else.
 
Hi Roxie! I completely understand and have been in this situation myself at times. I find when this happens its best to just do something completely different to re-spark the energy. Instead of following a weight workout, make up your own. Time yourself and see if you can do 200 walking lunges in 5 to 6 minutes. Then see if you can do 24 elevated lunges within 90 seconds switch and repeat. Then do 4 sets of 12 to 15 pushups...see if you can complete it in under 2 minutes. Time yourself and do two sets of 30 sit ups. If you have a pull up bar do as many as you can. If you have a friend who will join you in a challenge, this will add to the fun. All of these exercises work the entire body combined plus give you a nice cardio bonus. Set up little challenges like this until you feel ready to hit the weights more structured. No worries about having to do them that way all the time, fitness comes in a wide variety of styles. Sometimes you have to put on a new suit for a while :DGood Luck!
