Good morning,
Sydney's 40 min Strength and Conditioning workout is done. Need to do some abs later.
Diane - some of JS workouts are a hit or miss for me. I don't like Ballet workouts and she has a lot of them.
I will be back later

This morning I did Coffey Fit Raw Box and Bar 39 minutes, heart rate 110/166, 136 calories, 1,489 steps.
I also did Raw 5 day strength day 1 Back and Biceps, 39 minutes, heart rate 90/115, 73 calories( I seriously do not get these burns my previous recordings with this was 132 calories) , 391 steps. Total time 78 minutes, 209 calories, 1,880 steps. I will probably take a rest day tomorrow unless I fit in some stretching and yoga. I have my monthly game day with friends and this time it is much further in another city and I need to be there by 9. We are doing our valentines exchange and games. Hopefully weather is not bad. Also hopefully I have my car.

Belinda, I think I remember somewhere that Jessica Smith talked about her ballet classes when she was younger. It is probably something she likes to do. I tried a barre workout when I had Les Mills Streaming and it was all ballet. I hated it. It was not what I expected. They were not even using a barre or doing barre type stuff that I am used to.
Doreen, I remember that workout and the impact in it not being something I particularly wanted to return to. Nice work.

Good morning,
Sydney's 60 min Back, Arms & abs plus bonus 10 min Toned arms is done.
Diane - I am not a fan of ballet workouts. I find them boring. Yes, JS took ballet classes when she was younger. Ballet and barre workouts a different workouts. There are only a few barre instructors I like and stick with. Nice workouts yesterday.
BBL!

Rest day today. I think I really needed it. My neck was cracking and popping and painful last night till I put a cold pack on it last night till I went to bed. Knee hurt as well. This morning I woke up and am fine which is good. Hopefully tomorrow is the same. I had a nice time at my ladies game day and valentine gift exchange.
Doreen, nice work wit Sydney's arms and glutes. I love doing abs
But, yes, ballet would be something I would avoid like the plague. I don't mind some barre though, like Cathe does. I guess I don't care a lot for Turbo Barre though. It is way too long and not easily broken down into a short workout.

Good morning,
I just finished Sydney's 50 min Glutes and Cardio. I am not sure if I can do Sydney's 8 week program. Her style of workouts are so different than what I am used too. Maybe I am too old school. I will see how I feel by Friday. I may switch to my dvd's next week.
Doreen - we think alike. I the ab isn't included I will skip it too. I do like this about SBF she adds your abs into the weeks schedule.
Diane - Oh no! How is your neck feeling today?

Belinda - What do you not like about her style? I don't really like her cardio - her moves aren't synced to a beat so its hard to follow along on those. I mostly just do her strength workouts and skip the cardio ones. I would prefer to do bike or step or kickbox for cardio.
I was perusing Beachbody's website last night trying to figure out why I haven't seen them release a new program lately.... well- I guess they have but it's explicit?!? Belinda - you did 80 day a while back didn't you? Would you recommend? What about LIFT4 - did you do that one? Trying to decide if I should do a round of beachbody on demand after my Cathe Live subscription is up.

Doreen - I don't like her cardio for the same reasons you mention. I do like her strength workouts. I also prefer step or kickboxing for cardio. I ended up doing my own cardio like kickboxing moves to get my HR up. She does a lot of up and down on the floor moves. I keep everything up. My knees can't handle going to the floor than up again. I also use my bench for the gluten work or I use my stability ball. Need to take care for my knees. I don't want a knee replacement.
I have done both programs. Loved both. I highly recommend Lift4 if you want shorter workouts. L4 used heavier weights and the workouts are shorter. I should revisit them soon. He adds Hiit to his strength workouts. Those are fun and doable. What I like about BB workouts, they always have a modifier. Let me know if you sign up. Maybe I will do L4 with you. 80 Day is an amazing program too. The workouts are much longer up to 60 min. I also would recommend 21 Day Fix another great workout series.

Today I did Raw Ripped and Ride January 2020, this time I used the spin bike since last time I followed Kelly on the step. The weights they use are a bit confusing as at the start Kelly says 5 and 7's mayb she says 5 or 7. I don't know. They were using 10 for their heavy. I used 5's and 8's. This was 35 minutes, heart rate 114/154, 128 calories, 1,446 steps. I thn did 5 Day Strength day 2 chest and triceps, 34 minutes, 90/135 heart rate, 57 calories, 320 steps (map my fitness said 177 calories using upper strength setting) I finished with Jessica Smith Gentle Yoga neck and shoulders, 19 minutes, 89/121 heart ate 24 calories, 44 steps.
Total time was 88 minutes, 209 calories, 1,810 steps. I am about ready to toss this Versa 2 across the room. Feeling frustrated with the amount of effort I am putting in and it's readings. Not what they were at the start.
I will be back in awhile.
Belinda, it is more my shoulder this morning. I woke up with it hurting along the front again. I am hoping this is not because the affects of the steroid they gave me a few months ago has worn off. I do not want the epidural the doctor was talking about in my neck. I lightened up significantly with my workout today and stretched a lot through it and then my stretch afterward. Knee is much better today. That is why I chose the spin bike today. I hear you on the up and down from the floor movements. I am much slower than the instructors getting there. On I Max 4 when Cathe does those squat thrusts from side to side and across the step, I do them with my hands on the step and do some extra step moves because I don't like doing them.
Doreen, how much longer do you have on Cathe Live?
I am not ready for any particular rotation. Every time I try I start hurting somewhere and have to back off and do something else. It is quite frustrating.

Good morning,
Cathe Lite Strong UB stacked sets is done.
Diane - sorry you have to deal with your shoulder now. Glad your knee is doing better. I still can't bent my knees. They are still swollen. I really need to make another appointment. This is going on for too long. I feel like the older I get the harder I heal from injuries. I am afraid to do any step workouts with my knees right now. do you plan on going back to see your doctor?
Doreen - have fun with your workout today.
I am getting ready to leave for DC spending time with DD. Tomorrow will not be a fun day, it's a work day.
Have a wonderful day and workout.

I did CL 267 Metabolic Madness this morning. This was my second time doing it so I knew what weights to use and the second time through I used my barbell for the Deadlifts and the squats/calf raises. This is on my list to buy if I ever decide to go that route.
Diane - I thought the same on that workout - you could even do it twice through and do the step one time and the bike the next! Hope your shoulder feels better quickly!
Belinda- have fun in DC! Hope your knees don't bother you when you are there!

Happy Valentines Day!
I took a 6 a.m. Pilates Reformer class with DD. It was my DD's favorite instructor, she was amazing. I felt more confidence on the reformer. Felt every muscle in my body. I guess in live classes they can play real music. The music was recognizable, upbeat music. I wished I had a pilates studio near by, I would take more reformer classes.
Doreen - thank you. As long as, I keep everything low impact my knee is fine.
Diane - hope your shoulder is feeling better.
Off to get to work. I will try to check in later today.

Belinda- What is a reformer class like?
This morning I pulled out Step Moves DVD and then added on a couple songs from Refit on Demand. I guess their on demand works a bit different. Instead of keeping the recordings online forever they appear to cycle off as soon as the new week's class is recorded and added.... so I guess if you really like a class too bad- you can't go back to it!!

I'm checking out another app this week with the 7 day free trial. (Jillian app was way to hurried of a workout and I can't change the exercise intervals to be more like 40-45 seconds so I scrapped that one). This is Alexia Clark. I did a month of her program 2 years ago and she has some great workouts. Now she has an iphone app with a built in timer. So I have to use my husband's old Iphone to get it downloaded and tested it out yesterday and today. Today was 3 circuits of upper body and then an upper body burnout. Took me about 45 minutes.
I think I'm burned out of videos for a minute and need to do some workouts on my own and play my own music for a while.
