Today I did Perfect 30 Low Impact Hiit 32 minutes, heart rate 117/154, 144 calories, 2,657 steps. I then did Coffey Fit Raw Step 4 using 2# dumbbells for all but the jacks and I dropped to 1#, 31 minutes, heart rate 120/142, 151 calories, 2,937 steps. I finished off with a Perfect 30 Flow premix yoga strength and flexibility and mobility express #1, took me 37 minutes because I had so many calls and texts this morning (actual time 31 minutes) 48 calories, heart rate 86/105, 156 steps. Total time 1 hour and 40 minutes, 343 calories, 5,731steps.

Belinda, I like the new workouts. I do better with calories and steps with the Walk Strong walking workouts. It does not make much sense other than that is just how Fitbit picks up. It seems like it gets lost somewhere when the heart rate is moving up and down. It does better at a lower steady state workout. I have times where my knees feel good and then times when it seems the inflammation and stuff flares up and then they hurt. Right now they are okay, but I know better than to start kicking it up too much. I knew to do something more intense after doing Hiit high and that lower body workout would really be pushing it today. The rebounder was perfect for a lot of those high impact Hiit moves. Just not the squat thrusts and burpees. I used the edge of the rebounder rather than going all the way to the floor.

Doreen, it would take a bit to get used to using two steps. I have a workout that uses two bosu's. I did not have one at the time so would use a step on one end and the Bosu on the other. It also used a bungee type fitness piece of equipment with belts. I want to say it was called a sling. Anyway I had it hooked up to my heavy bag stand and they had me jump onto the bosu against the tension of the sling. I have not pulled those workouts in years. The favorite was Mindy Mylrea Bosu cardio workout with a small weighted ball. Tough workout and one that I used a lot.
 
Hi everyone,

I had my appointment with my Rheumatologist this morning. He believes the ear infections I had in the past were Relapsing Polychondeitis (RP) not ear infections. No wonder the antibiotics never worked. He is changing my meds, which I have to be monitored by getting regular blood tests. The new meds have list of side effects. My ear never completely cleared up since I was released from the hospital.

Yesterday DD and I did a Latin Dance Sculpt class. That was a tone of fun. DD belongs to the the gym in DC, they also offer live classes online. I did SBF Cardio Tone for Beginners.

Diane - funny you calorie burn is better with WS3. I don't always get the same burn, I guess it's on how I feel and what I put in that day. I love my rebounder for high impact. I hate burpees. I sometimes do something else instead. As long as I get my HR up it doesn't matter what move I do.

Doreen - thank you so much! I think we caught it early this time. Although I didn't wanted to overreact on Sunday. I almost talked my self out of going. Glad DH made me go. I was like what if it's something else? That step workout you did yesterday looks interesting. There is another instructor she used 2 steps all the time. She removed her workouts a long time ago.

I will try to be back later. I am waiting to get my blood test done. BBL.
 
Today I did Cathe Live Low Impact Sweat plus Core #319, 48 minutes, heart rate 109/145, 173 calories, 2,5889 steps. This one has two low impact cardio drills followed by a couple of weight segments through out. She uses 10's most of the time, but I think one 8# segment and 5# for some cardio moves. I lowered to 3# since there was boxing type moves and as usual she adds in shoulder moves to the compound move to help get the heart rate up. I modified here and there. I also had a hard time with the 10's for a move that through in front raises, I just did a few and then did something else.
I followed this with Kelly Coffey Super Sculpt dvd premix step and box, 32 minutes, heart rate 119/151, 149 calories, 2,748 steps. I finished with Perfect 30 Flow timesaver mobility basics stretch 20 minutes, 19 calories, 27 steps, heart rate 81/99. Total time was 1 hour 40 minutes, 341 calories, 5,364 steps.

Belinda, I bet it was fun doing the dance sculpt was fun. You know if I sub just doing the fast arms and feet my heart rate goes up way more than squat thrusts and burpees. I used to feel like I needed to follow the instructor to a tee, but now I am more likely to know my limits and do something else. We do have a lot of knowledge and moves we have learned over the years that we can use.
 
Diane - the dance sculpt class was so much fun and I was sweating like crazy. I loved it. My HR went up and I burned tons of calories without the impact. I used to follow the instructor to a tee, like you I do what feels good to my body and what I like doing instead of doing squat thrusts and burpees. Hate both, lol. I agree with you on having a lot of knowledge and moves. Great job today.

Belinda - the dance sculpt class sounds fun. I have two left feet when it comes to dance workouts - but I can do step for some reason (!?) I think my hips just don't wiggle like they want them to in dance routines!!

Hope your ear feels better and your test results come back with good results!
 
Doreen - the latin dance was very easy steps. I am pretty sure you would get the hang of it. The more you do latin dance the more your hips will wiggle, lol. I do like step but can do it as much as I want to. My knees don't like it. Getting an MRI tomorrow. Good job this morning.
 
Today I did Ice Low Impact Sweat 2 with the blizzard blast mix, 37 minutes, 159 calories, heart rate 115/157 3,182 steps. I also did Perfect 30 Timesaver Pyramid Hiit which includes the warm up and stretch, 19 minutes, 90 calories, heart rate 119/145, 1,609 steps. I used a 6 inch step for this one instead of the 8. I finished with Perfect 30 flow timesaver mix yoga strength and flexibility stretch 20 minutes, 25 calories, heart rate 83/105. This mix was more of the stretch portions of the workout which was the same with the other I chose yesterday. Total time spent 76 minutes, 274 calories, 4,863 steps. Kelly put her new dvd Super Sculpt up on her raw app yesterday. The sun is out this afternoon. We had winds last night and this morning. I see more branches down as well as leaves.

Belinda, nice work on Perfect 30 Lower Body and SBF this morning. I hope that the mri goes well for you tomorrow. LOL on the hips will wiggle.

Doreen, I have two left feet too. I think the easiest dance type workout I have done is Amy Ross Hip Hop Walk. I still do not have that rhythm though. I feel stiff when I try to do dance workouts. I have a Jessica Smith dance walk that is easy, but not real so much dance that I do once in awhile. I love step and have not problem bouncing and turning around on the step, I don't know why I am so stiff when it comes to dance workouts.
 
The landscapers are here finally. No grandchildren again. I am not sure why they chose to not have school today. Maybe some schools in the district are still without power. My daughter is just doing my grandson's school work with him since she is home.
I did Cathe Live Lighten Up Total Body #312, 59 minutes(53 actual), heat rate 91/142, 132 calories, 1,521 steps.

Good morning,

I signed up for CL after seeing the clip on Thursday. I did Cathe Live # 320 Halloween Hocus Pocus. Cathe is so cute in this one. The workout was short and fun.

Today is my DD's 35th birthday. I will try to check in tomorrow. BBL!

Good morning,

I got up early do do SBF D27 Upper Core (I ran out of time yesterday) and D28 Stretch.

Diane - nice job yesterday. The workout you did Friday looks good. I probably will do that one next week.

I will be back later.

Belinda, Friday's workout was a good one without really heavy weights. I watched a clip of them dressed in halloween costumes yesterday. Too funny and then the masks. It looks terribly uncomfortable for working out though. I may try that one soon since it is short.
 
Good morning,

Today I did CL #302 Burn Sets: Back, Chest and Shoulders = 48 min. Had a great workout this morning.

Diane - I think you would like the Halloween workout. I probably will do that one again this week. So fun! I am glad I decided to sign up for Cathe Live instead of buying the Halloween download. I can't believe I waited so long to sign up.

I will be back later.

Yeah Belinda- now you are hooked! And one month is the same price as a download. I go a couple months on and then a couple months off to let the new live workouts accumulate a bit. I thought the masks look hard to workout in too. My daughter has to play volleyball with a mask on!

My office got notification on Friday that an employee tested positive for COVID so we are closed for the next two weeks for clients/visitors and WFH until they complete cleaning.

This morning I did Perfect 30 HI Hiit - modifying on my rebounder and using a step to do burpees off of. It was a good workout - I burned a few less calories this time through. Then I added on a YT step workout by Kat - easy patters to follow and just getting some steps in but she had her twin sister doing the video with her and had picked some really fun music remixes for the sound track.
 
Doreen - I am hooked :) Can't believe it took me that long to sign up. I know, right? One month is the same price as a download. How often will I do that one download. Cathe has a lot of great workouts on live. I already thinking doing something similar you doing, sign up a few month than take a break. I don't know how Cathe can workout in a custom and mask. I would be dying of a heat stroke, lol! Oh no, on that an employee tested positive for COVID. Stay safe! Which YT step did you do today? Sounds interesting.

Diane - have fun with your workout today. I will be back later.
 
Today I did Cathe Live #320 Hocus Pocus, 33 minutes as I wrote out the workout, 28 actual. Plus I had to apologize and snuggle my dog because I tried using a 5# bar for a broom and she came up behind me and I smacked her with it. I changed to just using a ball, but I didn't really need a prop. I burned 90 caloires, heart rate 95/137, 1,355 steps. They are so funny and the faces they have painted on their masks. Cathe was a hoot. I thne did Kelly Coffey Super Sculpt step and drills mix, 19 minutes, heart rate 124/150, 96 calories, using 2 # dumbbells, 1,697 steps. I also did Kelly's Box Fit workout #2, weights, 36 minutes, 79 calories, heart rate 90/139, 732 steps. This was 88 minutes, 265 calories, 3,784 steps.

Belinda, I am sure you will have fun with doing CL again. This is the third time I have signed up. I just felt if I was going to do it, she was having a percentage off, I think 10, and it was not too bad for 6 months. Plus I used rebate money that I put on paypal.

Doreen, my husband's work is really strict on workers if they are sick, they do not come back unless they have a doctors clearance that they don't have covid. My husband had to do it and tested negative. It seemed kind of dumb as his was a stomach virus or something that lasted a couple of days. At least you have the ability to work from home. I hope no one else gets it there.
 
Good morning,

CL # Burn Set: Express Legs Heavy Weights = 35 min plus CL #307 All Core on the Floor = 34 min.

Diane - it's my first time signing up for CL. I did CL with a friend (neighbor) before. I am already hooked to CL. I was afraid of that, lol! I will wait to Black Friday and see if Cathe has a special on her live. From what I remember she didn't had anything special for her CL during the BF sale?

I will be back later to catch up on personals.
 
Belinda - I think the CL deals are just the % off for signing up for 6 months or a year at a time.

this morning I did Perfect 30 upper body and 25 mintues of Sydney Cummings Power strength and conditioning (which is her new series for November). I'm really liking this P30 upper body workout - so much packed into 30 minutes!!
 
Doreen - you probably right about CL deals. I really like CL especially the ones
Cathe did by herself. Great job on P30 UB. I like that one too.
