Strength in Numbers

This morning I did Yoga Max. I suck at yoga. :eek: I am good at some poses like triangle and locust but warrior poses are not my forte. I guess since I am not good at it that should be my clue to do it more often. I do find it awkward that there really isn’t a warm up. We go right into a forward bend and I didn’t think it was good to stretch your muscles when they are not warmed up. Maybe next time I should do some dynamic moves to get my muscles warm first.

Cheryl Way to sub MMA Kickbox for CrossFire when you were low on energy! That is crazy waking up at 3am and not being able to go back to sleep. Great job on yoga and TTM too! I hope your DH had a wonderful birthday. Poor Tigger getting his fur all cut off and then it gets cold and rainy. But I bet he does feel better to not have mats in his fur anymore. I have a few free cheap blankets the Humane Society sent me (I think they are fleece) that we cover Ozzie up with because he gets so cold.

Janie Great job on disc 19! Small improvements make a big difference. Sounds like you are doing everything right on with starting as heavy as you can go and lightening up if needed. You will definitely keep improving that way. Great job on your little HiiT after your hour long beach walk!

Eunice Great job on AB! Yep that one is still a doozy but it doesn’t have a dread factor for me like CCC! Too cute that Stacy kissed 3 of the animals. She must be an animal lover at heart. Sounds like Sam is going to become quite the traveler with all his stops in the different cities. I wonder if that price includes him getting to go sight-seeing in those cities too. What an day with the husky! Did he really attack another dog? Or did that lady just say he attacked her dog? I’m glad you were able to find the owners so quickly.

Pam Great job on the Circuit Blast premix from CF! Plus that wicked W&P ab circuits. That one is really tough. That’s great that Ashley is so excited and not at all nervous. Sounds like she is all ready to go out on her own. I have never found a shoe rack that I liked. I use one of those 5 shelf sweater organizers that hang on the closet rod and I keep about 5 pairs of shoes on each shelf. It looks kind of tacky but I have it in a room no one ever goes in so I guess it works. Wow that would be my dream second job. A shoe reviewer. I would not mind trying out shoes in order to get them for free.

Have a wonderful day!
 
Rolly and I walked the beach for one hour and also did a 3 min. Hiit by Sprinting.

Eunice, This is my third time, but with many months in-between I'm almost done with Cathe's rotation she gave me. I'll be done in a little less than 2 months. Then I'm not sure what else to do to keep it up. Ask her again in hopes to get yet another rotation, or do it on my own using her workouts. Don't know yet. Wow, STS works so well for you. I'm so proud of you! It doesn't always work that way with everyone, but for you it is truly the answer. For me too I think.:) Love your weight in flys, that's just amazing. I can do 25 $'s for the first set then have to lower it to 20#'s from there. It is getting better. I just made another bread and added banana's and all 5 T. of honey. I think that one is the best recipe. I put Greek Yogurt and freshly sliced strawberries on top of a slice and man o man is that good. Try and see if you like it that way. Great job with AB, it is challenging for sure. People just don't know how or don't care to control their dogs. I think it's shameful that they don't. It's not the dogs fault, it's the owners. Glad the excitement is over for you, now you can enjoy the rest of the day.

Pam, Great job on this morning's CB prem. from CF and weight and plates abs. I haven't done that ab workout yet, but I will soon. People keep bringing that one up.

Julie, Great job on Yoga Max. Use to be OK at my yoga practice, but haven't really done a yoga it seems for a very long time. I might not be even that good anymore.:( I guess I should do one for heaven sake I know I need it. Your wise to do some kind of warm up before the yoga practices.

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
Janie Good job on disc 19 chest, shoulders and biceps and your walk on the beach. It was really cold yesterday for Tigger but today it was a lot warmer. It was so cold yesterday that our furnace came on :confused:.

Eunice I am glad that Cathe didn't kill you in Afterburn. The plank work is hard but it does work your core good. Strange about the Husky getting into your place and attacking another dog. If I was the owner I would look at getting another gate that the dog couldn't get out of.

Pam Wow but you do have a lot of shoes. Sorry but I have no ideas on how to organize them. I have nowhere near that amount of shoes that you have. I woouldn't mind having that problem though (I love shoes). It was quite cold here yesterday since our furnance decided to start up. Today is better nowhere near 91 but it was nice out. Tigger is happier with his new doo but he was a little cold yesterday, so I got a nice blanket for him to curl up in. Way to go with the circuit blast premix from Crossfire and W&P.

Julie Good job at yoga. I sucked at yoga too at the beginning but I have gotten better. You just need to practise it more and it does get easier. Going through some of the first poses is suppose to warm you up but doing some dynamic moves before hand would work too. I have no idea why I woke up at 3am but I sure was dragging my butt that day. Fleece blankets are so nice. I guess with short fur Ozzie would get really cold too. At least Tigger's will grow back in a couple of months just in time for Fall.

Well this morning it was High Reps. Wow I haven't done that workout in quite awhile and it showed. I forgot how fast she changes the weights so I had to pause it a few times so I could keep up with them. It was a better day today so we went out and about. I still haven't got any closets or cupboards cleaned out yet. I keep on thinking that I have lots of time but I bet my vacation will be over and I won't have done a thing :confused:.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
PamWow! reading at yours and Julie's post I see that I don't have enough shoes:p DH is always complaining that I have a lots of shoes but I don't think I would fill half of what you guys have....Why do you clean it so soon? well I guess the shopping helps:p Oh, my poor Sam would be a happy dog if that was a real plane. OMG! my legs and butt today were sore after burn it does burn, and burn you need to put that one in your calendar... I thought that it was going to be hard to do legs today.. No, the Husky dog didn't attack Sam and Sam didn't stick her back hair up, so we thought that it was a girl. Good job doing Circuit blast from CF and abs W&P yeah that one is a thoughy one but it does sounds like a good combo.

JulieYou are a such a good girl for doing Yoga Max, I do suck at yoga and that's why I don't even look at the dvd's I should use them for a recovery week but I'm not a yoga person,:p Maybe going straight to the actual moves its alright if Cathe is putting it in a dvd, she is really good at doing thing with perfect form and nothing that would hurt our bodies but if you feel that you need that, I guess is good to because you are listening to your body. That's funny now that you mention I didn't have any problem doing CCC:confused: I wonder if that is included in the flight ticket for Sam!!! That would be awesome. I don't think the dog attacked the other dog I think the lady was over reacting, because DH said that she came by 3 times to check the Husky she wasn't nice at all.

JanieGood job walking at the beach for an hour and the sprinting. mmm 3 times! see? you are right behind me:D That is awesome that you almost finish with the Rotation I hope Cathe gives you another one if not I'm sure you will be able to do your own. Thanks for your nice words to me, yes I love STS and I don't think we can ever get tired of STS:D Oh yes little by little you will be able to rock those big dumbbells don't worry you are doing awesome. OMG, my mouth is watering your bread sounds sooooo good I'm going to have to try it this weekend NO strawberries though is not the season for them here, I think;) I agree, the owners dog need to be more careful.

Cheryl The owners of the husky mention that he or she can jump out of the fence:eek: and they are right because the lady who took the dog before she said that she would keep the dog until the police or owner show up, but when I went to check if the lady came to get her car I saw the husky running in the empty field that is in front of our house, then is when DH went to get him, we have trees along the fence so he couldn't scape.
You are right AB is a goos workout and get the core really, really good. Good job doing High Reps, I know that one moves really fast, I think for that one its a good idea to have various sets of barbell so we have everything ready to go, but again I don't mind pausing the dvd when I need that extra breath. Enjoy your vacation! cupboards are not going anywhere but your days are.


Oh boy, my legs were sore after doing after burn yesterday :p and today I had disc 38 squat legs, loving it, it was hard at the end because she leaves lunges right for the last move but in reality we do double set one for each leg,:confused: and I was tired, just the perfect tired after doing heavy weights I didn't wanted to sit down after that I feel like I needed to keep moving to let the blood flow. Hopefully Mr DOMS visit me tomorrow.
Have a nice day every one.
 
Julie Great job with yoga max, I suck at yoga too, and i usually find an excuse not to do it :confused: Oh yea, my abs are feeling that W&P workout from yesterday. I think I am going to enlist the DHs help on the shoe organization, he is pretty good at that stuff and will probably make me something that would be better than anything I can buy. Right now I have them in too many different locations. Oh yes, wouldn't it be nice if we could get paid to review shoes? :rolleyes:

Janie great job on your long beach walk and you 3 minute Hiit! Wow, your bread sounds so good, especially with the fresh strawberries on top! Oh weights and plates is a goodie for sure. I am always trying to peek at the clock to see how much longer we have left when I do it. It really gives you some great DOMS the next day too!

Cheryl As i was telling Julie, I think it's time to ask my DH for help on how to organize my shoes, he is really good at that stuff. First I need to get rid of the ones that I don't wear anymore though.....I'm glad to hear that your weather warmed up and that Tigger is happier now that he has his new do! We aren't going to shave Butters anymore because it was so traumatic for him, we are just taking care of the knots as they come. It makes him look like a patchwork doll, but it seems to work better for him.
Great job on High Reps. i haven't done that one in a long time either. It seems like that is one of the ones that I have weights laying around all over the place at the end though because there is no time to put them away in between. Don't fret about not having any closets or cupboards cleaned out, you should be enjoying your vacation time!

Eunice Oh my DH teases me about my shoes all of the time. especially sandals, I have a real weakness for them! I'm glad that everything was ok with Sam and the husky. wow, great job doing squat rack legs with your sore AB legs! That must've been tough! It sounds like Mr DOMS will be visiting you tomorrow for sure!

This morning for me was STS Total Body. It was just the right amount of tough! I am supposed to do a 30 minute brisk walk today as well, I may do that at the mall :D DH left for Boston this morning so I'll be on my own tonight. Have a great day ladies!

Pam
 
This morning I did To The Max in its entirety for the first time. Wowee! That was hard! I had to pause in between each section to catch my breath and get a quick sip of water. I think CrossFire is easier. I can’t see myself doing TTM as is very often. I think I will get the most use out of it by doing the 30/20 and tabata premixes. Oh and I also have these crazy side DOMS in my abs. I am thinking those triangle poses in Yoga Max. Maybe another subtle clue that I should do that one more often.

Janie Great job on your hour walk with Rolly! Love that you added on 3 minutes of Hiit sprinting. My problem with yoga is a psychological one. I know it is good for me but I have a hard time wanting to give up a cardio or weight training session for it because it doesn’t burn as many calories. If only there were 8 days a week, maybe I could find time for it then.

Cheryl Great job on HR! Yep, Cathe moves at the speed of light on that one with her equipment changes. I think that might be the one I talk back to her the most. Usually it is “hold one” or “not ready yet”. I think I will try doing some dynamic moves before starting yoga next time. I practically go straight from my bed to working out so I think that is why I just don’t feel ready to do the first few moves. That is so crazy that your furnace came on yesterday. Our a/c has been running non-stop for several months now. It is supposed to be 104 today. I’ll share some of the heat with you. I say enjoy your vacation. Those cupboards will just need to get cleaned out again in no time.

Eunice Great job on disc 38! I kind of like having the lunges last. I don’t think I could keep good form on the others if they were last. I’m not a yoga person either. I don’t feel I’m graceful enough plus I have a hard time giving up weights or cardio for it. I’m trying to make sure I do it at least once but hopefully twice during my recovery weeks. I’m glad Sam didn’t get attacked by the husky. I think a lot of people over react when they see something a dog does because they don’t understand dog behavior or are just fearful of dogs. I’m glad she didn’t get to do anything with the husky and you guys took care of the husky instead. Here’s hoping Mr. DOMS has paid you a visit!

Pam Great job on STS TB! Haven’t done that one in what feels like forever. Uh oh! A 30 minute walk at the mall. Hopefully, not in the shoe stores! Having DH help with the shoe organization sounds like a good idea. Having something homemade would be better than buying something. As I was telling Janie and Eunice, I too have an easy time not scheduling yoga even though I “know” it is good for me. Enjoy your alone time. When does DH return home?

Have a great day!
 
Eunice Good job on disc 38 with your legs being sore after AB yesterday. I hope that Mr DOMS visited you.

Pam Maybe your DH could custom make something for your shoes. I wish I had that problem with not having enough space :D. Tigger doesn't like going to get his lion cut but he sure is a happy camper afterwards. Be careful if you are cutting the matts out of Butters. We did that with Tigger until we got a little to close and cut him as well. We felt terrible and we had to take him to the vet for stitches. I had a major mess around me after I was done HR. I don't know how they change the weights so fast. Good job on STS Total Body, that is another one I haven't done in a while.

Julie I agree that CrossFire is an easier workout. Way to go in doing To the Max all the way through. Make sure you are warmed up before doing yoga especially if you have just gotten out of bed. It can be hard on your muscles and joints to try to do some moves before you have warmed up enough. Would you like to take some of our cold too? It was much warmer today though and I could wear shorts and a T shirt again.

Today was Imax 2 and it was a sweat fest. I hadn't done that one in a while and it felt really good. After that I did some studying and then went off to my class. It is nice to be able to do it during the day instead of after work. I have about 4 more classes till I am done. I will go again on Friday and then hopefully another 2 times next week and then I will only have one more after I go back to work. I need to take my first aid course this Saturday, I need that before I can get certified.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
Julie Great job on TTM. I think it's interesting that you think it is harder than Crossfire, I feel just the opposite :confused::rolleyes: i wonder why that is?! Strange about your side DOMs..... :confused:
I stayed away from all shoe stores last night. In fact, I didn't buy anything at all. I tried to buy some panties at Victorias secret, but they were so slow and I got tired of waiting so I left. I really didn't have much of a walk at all. it wasn't very brisk and it wasn't 30 minutes. I was hungry and wanted to get home to eat :rolleyes: DH gets home tonight ,it was just a quick trip for a customer meeting.

Cheryl yes, it would be nice if DH would custom make me something for my shoes. The only problem is right now between golf and water skiing he has no free time. Maybe when it's too cold to ski....:confused: it doesn't ever seem to get too cold for golf! We bought a trimmer that we use on Butters to take out the matts so that it doesn't cut him. The only problem with it is the noise, it freaks him out! I don't know how Cathe and the crew change their weights so fast either. I'm always yelling at them to wait but I have to rewind a little sometimes!
Great job on Imax 2! Wow, it's hard to believe that you are almost done with your class! That is great!

This morning for me was intensity, I hadn't done it in awhile and it kicked my butt. I'm always so happy when I finish the hi hiit! I looked in the mirror for the first time about 20 minutes after I was done and I couldn't believe how red my face still was! Whew! Have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
This morning I slept in and it felt great! I actually didn’t get very good sleep last night. It was ok sleep to where I could have worked out but I figure it is my rest week and I am going to take it to the max!

Cheryl Great job on Imax 2! Always a goodie and a sweat fest! Wow the end is in sight for your certification. At least with the class portion. I think next time I do yoga I will do a dynamic warm up first. I wonder if that is part of the reason my sides hurt so bad yesterday.

Pam Great job on Intensity! It’s been awhile since I have done that one but it is always a good one. I am always happy to get past the step but even happier when the high hiit is done too. That is weird that TTM is harder for me and CF is harder to you. Not sure why that is. I guess different workouts hit us differently. Glad I am not the only one that will still have a red face 20 minutes after the workout.

Have a great day!
 
Yesterday my back hurt me so I will be doing legs today. I did walk an hour on the beach though. Also I've closed my website down. Just not enough interest.

Eunice, Great job on doing AB and disc 38 squat legs. Did Mr. DOM's visit you?:)

Cheryl, Great job on Imax2 and all that sweat. :) Only four more classes, that's fantastic. And then a certified instructor. I'm so very proud of you!

Pam, Great job on Intensity. I know, it kicks my butt as well. LOL:D Beet red face is such a good feeling, Isn't it?

Julie, Do enjoy your long awaited rest. Heal and start again. Yea!

Take care,

Janie
 
Pam You can golf pretty much all year long here too. I used to golf but it got way too expensive to continue. A trimmer would work much better and they are loud. Hopefully Butters will eventually get used to it. Good job in Intensity, the high hiit is a killer.

Julie Enjoy your rest week and sleeping in. Your sides probably did hurt from the yoga in doing poses that worked your muscles differently. I know sometimes I am really sore after yoga, it all depends on the poses they make you do.

Janie I hope your back is doing better. It is hard to do anything when your back is sore. Sorry that you had to close your website. You can always try again to see if there is anymore interest in it. Well I will still need to write the exam before I can be certified and that won't be until the end of August.

This morning it was Muscle Max. This is another one that I hadn't done in a while. After that I did some studying, cleaned out the fridge, cleaned out a cupboard, cleaned out a couple of drawers and then pressure washed the patio and sidewalk. Wow I really had a very productive day :D. Tomorrow my class is at 9:30am so I won't be able to get a workout in since I need to leave by 8:30am unless I am feeling really motivated to do it as soon as I get up.

Have a great day.

Cheryl
 
Will be leaving tomorrow morning to visit with family East of the mountains. Won't be back until Tuesday night. Talk then and enjoy your workouts.

Cheryl, Great job on MM. Also on studying and cleanmax.

Have a good one,

Janie
 
Pam Good job doing STS total body I always do the same when I have a rotation and it calls for running I sub for something else... I hope that brisk walk at the mall wasn't to expensive:p:p shopping? did you see anything cute? Well, let me tell you that low reps workouts are not giving me DOMS:( I have to ask Julie if she did got some.
Also for doing Intensity, next time I do that one I need to check my face and see if I get red face maybe more like purpleish :eek: so which one is the hard one according to you To the max or Intensity or after burn?

JulieGood job doing to the max to the end!!!! it was fun! isn't? I think Cross Fire is easy too, I think TTM is my favorite one and I'm going to be using it a lot. Good for you for getting those side DOMS, you are right having the lunges at last its a good thing. Guess what???? NO DOMS for me after leg squat day, boo boo :mad: I was feeling it after I was done and I was sooooooo tired but not DOMS, did you get DOMS doing the heavy squat legs?
Good for taking a whole day of rest. That must be very hard for you but you did good.

Cheryl No DOMS:(:mad: I wonder why? I was sooooo tired I run out of energy and my legs were feeling very jellysh but that was it. Good job doing Imax 2 nice to do the ones we haven touch in a while thanks for remind me that one maybe I'll do that one next week. WOW!!!! you are almost done sounds like it was just yesterday that you got stated, you must be very proud of your self, 4 classes is nothing, enjoy!!!
Also for doing Muscle Max, oh yes you did a lot today, now its time to take a break.

JanieI hope your back is better today, legs uses our back a lot so if I was you I would have taken a rest day instead, but if you did legs I hope you did have a good time. Good job doing the hour walk on the beach. No, Mr DOMS wasn't up to come to visit me here in Australia probably I was to far away from them.:p:( Have fun visiting your family, we'll heard from you when you get back.

Yesterday I was very disappointed I didn't get Mr. DOMS to visit me I only got stiff legs and sore knees but that was all. Yesterday I did disc 30 shoulders/biceps/triceps I had a good workout I was pretty happy with my weight improvement, DH was making fun of me I was soooooo cold I ran to get a sweater and he told me that sweater don't fit you did it shrink or you got big, I was being silly and showing him my biceps hoe they felt hot and full of blood after my workout..
Today I did Body Max 2 NOT the whole 90 min workout I stopped right at the upper body portion.
Now just lazy hanging out on the couch watching movies whit Stacy, its being raining since yesterday and pretty cold, freezing. we did watch Ice age 2, The emperor's new groove and now Toy's story 3, and hopefully that's all for tonight.. We had a quick dinner tonight DH wasn't home for dinner so we even ate dinner while watching the movies.
Have a great day everyone...
 
Julie Good for you for sleeping in. I was tempted to this morning and probably should have, but I dragged myself up and struggled through my workout. I like that, resting to the max! Intensity is kind've sneaky because that step portion gets so hard and you are lulled into thinking the worst is over, but then there comes the hiit! It always kills me when Cathe says this next one is easier and then we start doing burpees into flying angels....:confused: I'm like ummmm....I don't consider this easier! I am trying to figure out what i am doing wrong with Crossfire because it kicks my butt. That Tabata portion with the band is killer!

JanieOoh no, sorry to hear that your back hurt, but great job on your walk and doing legs. Sorry to hear that you shut down your web site. I think that you have to do a lot of marketing and have tricks for making your page show up on top in searches to be successful on the web. Of course i have never actually tried myself, just my thoughts.

Cheryl I have never really been interested in playing golf, it seems too slow and too frustrating to me. The guys that my DH plays with want us to do a couples golf outing which should be interesting since I don't play! I said I will only do it if no one really cares about the score and it is just for fun. I think that will be hard for these guys! Actually I think the more we trim Butters the more he hates it. He bit me really hard the last time and that is not like him!
Great job on MM, I haven't done that one in a long time either. WoW, you really had quite the productive day, good for you!

Janie Enjoy your time with your family, we'll be here when you get back! :D

Eunice No, the brisk walk at the mall wasn't expensive, i didn't buy anything. I tried but they were too slow so I left. Plus I was really hungry so I just wanted to come home and have dinner! Hmmmm....i wonder why those low rep workouts aren't giving you DOMs? It sounds like you are working it pretty hard :confused: Oh yes, you need to check your face the next time you do Intensity, hmmmm, purplish sounds past the point of red! Out of TTM, Intensity and AB I think Intensity is the hardest, then TTM and then AB. I still have a harder time with crossfire than TTM though, trying to figure that out...... I was so surprised to see you saying that Crossfire is easy???!
so sorry that Mr DOMS didn't come to see you, stiff legs and sore knees don't sound very good at all :( That is funny about your sweater, i guess it is those massive arms! The other day my DH was saying that he thinks my biceps are bigger than his so we had to measure. They aren't of course! Unflexed his were only about an inch bigger than mind, but flexed he blew me away. Mine were hardly ANY bigger flexed than unflexed :confused:
Great job on BM2. That is usually how I do it, just up to the upper body part.
It sounds like you and Stacy had fun watching movies, I don't think I would be able to stay awake for 3 movies!!

I forgot to tell you that yesterday I checked my Workout manager calendar to see what I had for today and you'll never believe it - KPC! i had to laugh about that. I decided to do crossfire instead and i am still having a hard time seeing how you all think it's easier than TTM. Of course I kept telling myself I did Intensity yesterday AND DH's flight was delayed last night so instead of getting home at 9;30 he got home at 2:30. I don't think that being awake for an hour in the middle of the night helped me much. Crossfire just totally wiped me out this morning though. In fact I decided not to do the plyo tabata because I wasn't sure I would make it through it, so I skipped it and did the abs. I could not catch my breath at all, I even sat down for awhile at the end of the circuit section. TTM doesn't even come close to that for me so I'm not sure what's up with that:confused: I was glad to be done! We are going to see Train tonight, I hope I can stay awake. Happy Friday ladies!

Pam

Pam I'm glad that you didn't ended up getting more shoes:p:p DH said that I need to go heavier, hard when I don't have a rack to help me. I was thinking that the purplish is more because of my skin color, tan! Today I did cross fire just to compare whit what you've said, I think its pretty hard too, I'd changed my mind about I think is a tight with After burn this is the second time I do this one I don't know why I was thinking that it was easier than TTM I think they both are the same hard just with a diss music and moves:D Do you think I have massive arms? hahahaha my sister was telling me that was afraid of me, afraid that in one push I would send her to the other side of the room with this arms of mine.:confused::p Well I won't be measuring my biceps with DH his are HUGE they are as big as my head:eek:
Last night it was more like taking little naps here and there! Fun:D NOOOOO I cannot believe that you had KCP for today! haha I haven't done that one in so long but it feels like I have done it through you:p Cross fire wasn't an easy choice if you didn't have a good night sleep and right a day after Intensity, that was brave to do.
I thought that CF was more like boot camp and I know that you like that kind of workouts that's why I was thinking that you would prefer that one over TTM. This not catching up your breath is always or only today because of the lack of sleep? Well have fun tonight watching train, and sleep well.

Today I did Cross fire and I was thinking on Pam while doing it, it is hard! I think we need to do both of them TTM & CRF back to back or should I say day to day to have a better picture of them, just a thought!
Nothing is going on over here just Stacy a little sick, last night she was freezing cold and this morning she trow up so, nothing fun at all.
I hope you guys have a better day!!!!

Sorry for being MIA yesterday. I did do Cycle Max and then had to go to a funeral all day. DH’s grandmother passed away on Tuesday so her funeral was yesterday. I think I was starting to come down with a cold last night or my allergies were acting up from having to be outside for the burial. I woke up a few times throughout the night with massive sneezing attacks and my nose was all stuffy. I’ll be taking an active recovery today and not working out but I will be doing plenty of housework, dog grooming, and running errands.

Janie I hope your back is feeling better. Do enjoy your time with your family and safe travels.

Cheryl Great job on MM! Always a good one and one of my favorite total body strength ones. Wow! You got a lot done. That is amazing. I bet you feel so much better to have all that done. Enjoy your class.

Eunice Great job on disc 30! I got DOMS with the upper body Meso 3 workouts but I didn’t with the squat rack legs. My legs just felt like lead when I was done. That’s so cute that you were goofing around with DH over your biceps being worked out. Great job on BM2 cardio portion! I love the music in that one. Oh boy, 3 straight cartoon movies. I like watching those types of cartoon movies but 3 in one day may be my max. I’m not sure what is hardest out of AB, TTM, or Intensity. I would like to choose CCC but you didn’t include that one. So out of those 3, I would say TTM. So sorry Stacy is sick. I hope she gets better soon poor thing.

Pam Great job on subbing out for KPC with CF! I am not sure why I think CF is easier than TTM. It could be that I just was more tired when I did TTM. Maybe I need to do it again to see. My thing with TTM is I didn’t really care for the leg compound and core w/upper body sections. I did like the solid step, step tabata, and 30/20 hiit sections though and can see myself using those parts a lot. Yeah, those burpee flying angels are not a gift on Intensity. Enjoy your Train concert!

Have a wonderful day!
 
Eunice That is pretty funny that you turn purple because of your tan skin, but I guess that could be the reason for sure! So today i had to do the pylo tabata from Crossfire since I skipped it yesterday and when I did that by itself it seemed pretty easy. I think that is the easiest tabata section though, the one with the band is the killer for me.That's funny that your sister thinks you could send her across the room with one push, I'd say that tells you quite a bit about your arms huh?! I think one of the reasons I like TTM better than Crossfire is because I really like the music in TTM too so I'm listening the that and enjoying it instead of just thinking about how how I am working. OMG, your DH has biceps as big as your head?! Wow! I think I was a little too brave trying to do Crossfire yesterday. I had already decided to do it on Thursday, so then I felt like I would be cheating if I didn't. Pretty strange I know! I felt kind've bad all day yesterday though too, so I'm sure there was something going on with the sleep interruption. I'll have to do it next time when I'm feeling good. You're right that CF is kind've like a bootcamp workout and I love those, but TTM keeps changing things up too so it really flies by.
i was a little worried when I read you saying that we need to to TTM and CF back to back, I was asking myself if you are crazy. I'm glad you clarified by day to day! :p sorry to hear that Stacy was sick, I hope she is feeling better!

Julie oh, so sorry to hear about your DHs grandmother. Funerals are important, but sure not somewhere you want to be. Great job on doing CM first. I hope you aren't coming down with anything, I think you were smart to take a rest day. I guess I should say a day off from working out, from what you described it won't really be a rest day!
I don't remember now what the leg compound section is like in TTM but I don't really card for the core with upper body in that one either. I like the core in CF much better. Maybe I need to do TTM everything except core and then core from cF nect time.....

So last night we went to get some dinner before the show at a place that was within walking distance. It was an outdoor show and just as we were coming out of the restaurant there was a big crack of thunder. So we went and sat under an overhang to wait for the storm to pass. It was about 20 minutes or so and was still raining a little when we walked over, but we got there and they had made everyone leave the amphitheater for the storm, so there were thousands of people out in the street and they weren't letting people back in. We hung around for awhile and it started raining hard again, so we went and stood under an awning out of the rain, but after awhile decided to just come home because we were both pretty tired and we didn't even know if they would let anyone back in. We still had a nice evening though. I guess the show did happen because I saw pictures from it online today, apparently a couple got married on the stage. They have a song called Marry Me and the drummer is an ordained minister so he performed th ceremony! My DH said he didn't need to see that :rolleyes: Anyway, this morning was STS Total Body again. I thought it was weird that she had the some workout twice in one week, but it was kind've nice because I remembered what was coming so didn't have to pause all the time to change my weights. Then I did the plyo tabata from Crossfire just because I felt like I cheated by skipping it yesterday! It's pretty easy when you do it all alone :D Anyway, not sure what is on tap for today, have a great day ladies!

This is such a horrible sad day today. I was at one of my sisters house spending the night and at about 2:30 am we got a call from her daughter telling her that her son died. (autopsy is being done now) We were sobbing and trying to catch our breaths, holding each other trying to believe it's not true. Reality hit and then the numbness. Which I think is a blessing for now.


My poor sissy. Her life has not been a good one at all. When she was pregnant for her second child she went to two different doctors for morning sickness pill. Each one gave her the kind that don't mix because they didn't consult each other. Her daughter is now 45 years old with a mental capacity of maybe a 3 or 5 year old. She had 3 children all together. Her oldest was Paul then Tracy (mental problems) and then Mary from a second marriage. Both marriages failed. Also I believe she has Alzheimer. Only a strong person could deal with that much grief in one life time. My heart is sick for her. She is such a loving, kind and try to do good for others and believes in God, (Catholic). I don't understand why so much hardship for one person to bare.

If you believe in God or a higher power, perhaps you can tap into that and have whoever is up there bring down some calmness into my sisters life. She so deserves it. It's so SAD!

Eunice It sometimes doesn't make sense when you get DOMS and when you don't. Sometimes you don't feel like you worked very hard and the next day you have major DOMS. Good job on disc 30 shoulders, biceps and triceps and the first part of BM2. It is nice when it is crappy out just to sit back and watch a few movies. Good job on Crossfire. It is a hard workout but I find TTM is harder for me.

Pam Golf can be really fustrating and you do need a lot of patience for it. I really have no urge to play it ever again. It hurts when they bite doesn't it. I wish there was an easier way to get the mats out. Crossfire isn't an easy workout but for some reason I do find it a bit easier than TTM. Being up in the middle of the night doesn't help with having the energy to do it either. Sorry that you didn't see your show but it is important to be safe and with some of the incidents that have happened because of the weather better safe than sorry. Good job on STS Total Body and the plyo tabata from Crossfire.

Julie Good job on cycle max. Sorry to hear about your DH's grandmother. Funerals are always a hard thing to deal with. It is a good idea to have an active recovery day if your allergies are acting up.

Janie {{{HUGS}}} to you. What a horrible thing to have to deal with. Hopefully the autopsy with find out why he died. I am sure that your sister really appreciated that you were there.

For me I didn't workout in Friday because I had to leave early to go to my course. I had to do a consultation on my instructor and she said that I did a really good job. Next up is doing up a workout program for her to do at the gym on Tuesday. I stayed up late on Friday to watch the opening ceremonies for the London Olympics so I had a very hard time getting going on Saturday. I was going to workout but I had a hard time trying to get moving before I had to leave for my first aid course which was all day Saturday. So now I am certified in CPR and AED plus emergency first aid. Since I got that now I could register to take my ACE exam which will be on September 10th. This morning I rode my bike to yoga and back. After that watched some of the Olympics and then did some running around. I can't believe that one week of my vacation is already over it went by really fast.

PamThat was good doing the tabata all by it self and it was easy!! but the best part is because of the cheating feeling I think that is so cute:D I know my arms are getting a reputation :eek::confused: a bad one because they are not telling my nice, cut arms, they say your HUGE arms which is not sexy:eek: That could be it the music, but I was more thinking of because of you giving your 110% that could be another reason. Bad sleeping is not helpful, I know last night I couldn't sleep so I was so worried of me not being able to do my workout today I even what thinking of swapping today's with tomorrow's but I sucked up and I did it. Stacy is the only one getting so sick pretty often, poor baby!:( Sorry that you couldn't see the show, they should've had a sign or something saying that they would still have it latter on so people wouldn't miss, but I agree with your DH you didn't need to see a couple getting married on stage, that's weird! Good job doing STS total body I guess that was the good part that you could move at the same pace with Cathe and the crew. Also for doing the tabata that you did miss yesterday!!!

JanieSo sorry to heard this... I did Private Message you on face book, I hope you get to read it...(((((Hugs))))) to you!


Cheryl You are right it doesn't make any sense but that is how it works. Oh yes, that day of the movie marathon I was soooooo soooooo tired that I didn't care about the movies as much as just being there doing nothing. I have to try the new workouts again to see which one is harder, I cannot make up my mind on this.Good job getting certificated you are doing so good, Rachel got up early to watch the opening ceremony for the olympics I did not care that much:confused: Good job riding your bike to yoga class and watching the games, sorry your vacation went by so fast, start thinking about the next break!

JulieSorry about your's DH grandma passing. I hope you don't get sick with the cold, good job taking a recovery day I'm sure doing all that work its going to be very tiring. mmm good that you mention that so legs no DOMS I'm the same upper body I get doms, sore, and all that but not legs. Hahaha is funny that you would choose CCC I like that one. I would say Intensity... I hope Stacy gets better soon she didn't go to school today and I don't think she will go tomorrow.

Last night I had a very bad night I couldn't sleep I woke up around 3 and I was awake till 4 I was checkin my itouch Facebook, My Habit, and reading my emails when I woke up it was past 7am even DH sleep in this morning. so I did disc 28 chest/back/ the same as last week I was good with my weight I thought that I might needed to dropped but I was fine, then I did lots, lots of cleaning I am so tired my back got a huge workout mapping the floors.
Well have a nice day ladies!!!
