((((((((((No Sweets week of Jan 20))))))))))

Hi there!


Affirm, I'm doing Volume 5 today. Volumes 1 and 3 yikes! No, I won't be doing those probably ever ha ha. My closet is full of those killers (I also have tough tape, standing legs, tough aerobic mix, etc. and I don't even think about picking them up lol!) I'm going to do Volumes 4-6 along with some low impact Cathe cardio for about 2 weeks so no heavy weight work yet and no strenous cardio for me yet either. I really like the progression of Vols 5 and 6 but I have to modify some of the moves when I do Vol 4, I pause the tape sometimes to make weight changes because they do it so quickly, and I don't do the ab section or stretch section (I do a stretch max section instead). By the way, I hope your son is much better now.

Catherine, yes I did check out that site. Very informative. I put it in my favorites for future reference. If I could afford it I'd get the assisted pull-up machine (a girl can dream right?:D ). I could do pull-ups with that machine, but I don't belong to a gym anymore so I have to learn how to modify until I can do them. I'd love to lose my last 10 lbs before I can attempt them. I know that will help me as well. Oh boy, you got the squat rack in place already? DH did a great job! If your 6ft barbell doesn't fit, mine is not going to fit either which means that if I see it at Walmart and buy it I'll need to buy a 7 ft barbell as well. Oh my! I'll keep on saving I guess...:eek: I hope you can get back on track with your workouts.
 
Rose, doing pullups and chinups is the only way to learn to do them. Many say using the assisted machine is not helpful. Doing negatives is what worked for me. They are hard, but as with anything persistence pays!!

I got my new 7 ft BB and (2) 25 pound plates to go with it. I did KenpoX+ this morning and thought I'd feel like lifting this evening, but I am too tired. Looks like tomorrow I am gonna try to combine upper and lower body into a total body and use my new equipment!!

I don't want to talk about my eating today :eek:
