Oh boy a March thread!! 
Okay, so I'm playing catch up again with STS. Yesterday I forced myself to do the legs workout. Today was a run with the upper body stuff being done later this afternoon. Then I'll start this week's stuff tomorrow. Am I having fun yet? I think I'll be glad when #3 is over, the legs workout is such a dread factor for me. I don't know why...oh yey, its the DOMS the day after!
Have a great rest of the day everyone!

I tell ya, Rhea, I have been beyond sore doing Meso 1 legs this past two weeks ! To the point of hurting to even think of sitting let alone assuming the position ! It really made a huge difference for me to lighten the weights and focus more on ROM. Not sure if I appreciate the pain, though .
Good luck running tomorrow! Hopefully the movement will break up the lactic acid and actually help you feel better. Fingers crossed for ya!

LIta - actually I don't have to run until tomorrow! Whoo hoo. Which is good since it snowed again and everything was icy this morning. I'm hoping the sun will be melting things today. I do have that darn pylo legs disc on tap for this afternoon. I was going to run home and do it at lunch, but work got in the way. Oh darn. I'm so disappointed.
I'm so disappointed.

Well, Lita, pylo legs was never off the table for today, just for the noon hour. I just finished it. Actually, the last two pylo legs aren't too bad. Not so many tuck jumps, etc. Even though I learned that I do not like those one leg thrusts. Probably cause I can't do them very well at all! LOL

Yea, a March thread!
It has warmed up to close to 60, snow is doing great melting and I hope will be gone soon. We have been able to walk 4 or 5 days now! My mood is doing much better, even opened the windows to get fresh air in the house.
Just finished up week 1 of Meso 2. I am going out of town next week, so will try out the traveling Cathe dvd with the bands. Has anyone tried that yet? I haven't. Think I'll also bring some of her cardio stuff, something I can do in the hotel room.

OK, let me repost this from Feb thread...
Are any of you going to Cathe's weekend in San Diego?
I got the mailer for the discounts for her store. I am eyeing the tower, do any of you have it? Not sure if it's worth spending the money on it. I kind of wing it with stuff now. If I used it all the time, that would be fine, I'm just not sure.....
Does anyone have P90X? I would like to give it a try, but want some feedback from those that also do Cathe so I can see what they think.

Hi babes! Thanks for starting a new March thread Lita!
Before I continue, I want to answer Melinda's questions. Thanks for posting them again Melinda, I was trying to remember everything you asked! OK, I'm not going to Cathe's weekend in San Diego. As much as I enjoyed the Road Trip I went on in 2008, 100 people is too many for me. It wasn't intimate. San Diego is open for 200 people to attend.
I did buy the tower. The top weight load it can take is 350 pounds so it's not what I would call a super solidly built item. But it definitely does the trick for me. I use it for pull ups from a sitting position and it's been a Godsend for doing chest work with the barbell in Meso 2 and 3. The first time around, I really struggled with the barbell and this time was great. I also plan to use it when I try out discs 37 to 40, whenever that may be!
I don't have P90X. I thought about it and looked into it a bit awhile ago. I think I watched some clips then feared I might get bored out of my mind so I didn't get them and don't plan to. Maybe you can do a search on the forums here to see if anyone else uses them or try the Video Fitness forum (I think it's still around)!
Good luck out of town! I haven't done Travel Fit yet but hope to soon.
Reece, hope you had an awesome experience at the symphony! I don't have LL so I'll stick with B&G!
Lita, you are working too hard there my friend! I don't like to see you hurting so much! (But I've been there too, believe me!) I can't remember which discs in STS killed me but I've made a few notes where I failed. I failed on the last disc too, grrr. Stupid concentration curls! I really hope you get your weights to where you're not dreading any of the workouts, that is no fun at all! I would not have gotten through STS the first time if I dreaded it. Heck, I did CCC only once and shelved it so you know how much I don't like to dread things!
Rhea, I can imagine that running and then doing plyo legs in the same week is gonna be killer on the legs! That's why I don't run, hee hee! And I don't like those one legged thrusts either--I don't do them well at all!
Step Moves and Athletic Step with abs this week so far. Hair cut and color tonight so it's a rest day! Workout Group tomorrow night. Last week wasn't as bad as the first time I went but I managed to whine pretty good just the same!
Later lovely ladies!

Tracy - Not too long at all ! Since you only get here a couple times a week, we need all the chatter we can get from you when you're here . OMG - you can do pull ups from the sitting position? I think if I had the tower, I'd have to go with the legs forward like Cathe demonstrates - if I could even manage that much . Actually, I've re-injured the torn hamstring (remember that ) so I will need to kick back a bit. However, the first leg workout in Meso 1 is the hardest, IMHO, so I should be over the hump. However, next week is the "off STS" week in the June rotation so I'm going to do B&G for my legs so I might be limping all over again !
Melinda - Sorry - I meant to tell you I didn't know anything about the tower or P90X. And I am not the type to go to any of the get-togethers. I adore Cathe but I will do it from afar. Haven't tried the Travel Fit workout - am looking forward to your input!
Rhea - That is the advantage to having osteoarthritis and hip impingements - you just have a great excuse to not do all that jumping around. As for those one legged squat thrusts..... forget about it .....

Tracy - totally not too long! I didn't know you had the tower.
Melinda - I've been toying around with getting the tower myself. Especially since I'm probably at the max weight for the chest work in the Mesos without have a rack to help me. I just feel guilty about spending the moulah right now with a house being built. Oh, and no attending any of the Cathe stuff for me either. I do know a bit about P90X, the people that have it like it. Its a tough 90 days. Tony Horton takes a little getting used to...I have some of the P90s, just not the X series.
Lita - believe it or not, my legs were so much better this morning. I think I worked out the lactic acid in the pylo legs workout!!! Imagine that...
So today was a run in the morning. I get to have a massage this afternoon too. woohooo!
Have a great rest of the day everyone.

Okay, ladies, I need help deciding which upper body endurance workout to do next week. I will be doing ME (upper only) along w/ B&G. But I want another upper body workout in there. I'm torn between MIS, PH, or PUB. Whatcha think?
The actual rotation calls for circuits - BM2 and LIC - but I don't feel the circuit workouts give the upper body enough attention.

Thanks for the input. I did go to a FitPrime get together in 2003 I believe. That's where I met Jenn who lives in FL. But I do feel awkward with large groups and was glad I went, but wouldn't go again. This is one reason why I workout alone at home.
I need to see how much the tower costs and will then decide. Not sure if I want to spend the money. I am at 2 - 25# dumbells for the chest work currently and that's about it for me, so if I want to go heavier, it would have to be with the barbell. But I don't have any device at the moment to put it in. I would like to try those pull ups, currently I have one of those things that goes over the door frame.
I wonder if I could buy a used P90X? That might be the better way to go.
I will let you all know how the travel dvd is. I am heading out Monday.
