Julie I have had a kink in my neck since Monday morning, maybe it's something to do with the weather change! I'm glad to here that your went away, I hope it stayed away. Mine hasn't yet, but it is better than it was. i couldn't sleep Monday night because every time I moved my head it hurt so badly. Great job on LI Tabata and YR!
I really like All Step, it was my first Cathe so I think I have a soft spot for it. I really like the step routine in it though. i was wondering about you because they were talking about 20-25 foot waves on Lake Michigan. Most of the Horizontal Conditioning workouts are 45 minutes, but I think the Bootcamp one is an hour. I am trying to figure out how to use them as add ons so that I can do it 3x/week, but 45 minutes is long for an add on. So far no bike maneuvers, but I have only done one! I agree, I hope the storm didn't slow things down with XTrain! New Jersey got hit hard though
Penguin When I clicked the first project link that you posted I got the main screen to sign up for Rav, so did and then found you and all of your projects. The direct links didn't seem to work for me......? I think it's funny how dogs get so excited about being on the leash, it's like a big treat for them and for some reason their manners just go out the door!
Great job on the Kettlebell conditioning workout, but what a bummer that you didn't like it. I hate it when i invest in a workout and then don't like it.
Your remade leftovers sound very interesting, you'll have to fell us how they turned out. I love risotto cakes. I made shrimp and grits the other day and had a lot of grits left over so saved them to make grit cakes...we'll see if that actually happens how they actually are.
Cheryl wow, too many natural disasters right now. Earthquakes are so scary! Duh, I knew you were too far west for Sandy, I meant to ask if Julie or
Penguin were getting any effects! Sorry about that. We really didn't get much of anything. It was windier than usual but not bad and then we got some rain on Monday. Now we are dry and still again. I hope you were able to get up to do your workout this morning. You sure get a lot of kids for halloween. I expect we will have a lot more than last year because it is not supposed to rain this year, but probably more like about 50 or so.
Janie Great job on High Reps, I'm so happy that you were able to get a great workout in. OH big {{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}} to you, I'm so sorry to hear about the situation with Dan. My sister has a similar situation with her son. When he got married his wife has gradually cut him off from almost all of his family. My sister can't even call and talk to him and there is no good reason for it at all. So sad. Hopefully he will come around. You did what you can do and let him know that you are there for him so you should not beat yourself up. It sounds like they have some pretty strict expectations - why did he think you should give her flowers and a card??? Gifts that you make yourself are much more special IMHO.....Hang in there!
Penguin Woo hoo, congrats on the heat wave. It was only 30 something when I got up this morning - VERY cold! It's supposed to be 60 or so today though. It sounds like you have quite the bust day ahead of you, I hope you have a great day!
This morning I did Horizontal conditioning volume 2. I was going to do Vol 1 but it requires a body bar and I don't have one. I could just use my barbell with no weights and that's probably what I'll do when I try that one. They are each about 45 minutes long and it was tough. Most of the core exercises I had to quite early. It was a lot of variations on planks using the step and gliding disks. She breaks up the core work with some leg work every so often but wow, I'm hoping for some good core DOMS after that. I did the firewalker tabata from Crossfire afterwards to get a little cardio in. It isnt cardio at all, but I was sweating when I was done because I was working really hard. My hands are still hurting though from all of the planks with hands on the step. I had to go get a towel to put on top of the step to help with that. I'm thinking I will wear my lifting gloves next time and see if that helps. I'll try to describe a couple of the moves: One was like the dragging planks that Cathe does. You start behind the step in a plank with your feet on the disks, then walk your hands up onto the step, then over the top and then back. I could only do about 4 of those and she does 8. Then there was one where you start at the end of the step in a plank on your elbows and you walk up onto the step into a straight arm plank and back down. Then she starts adding some leg work to that with the disks. whew. I definitely liked it better than the intro disk that I got. Now let's just see if I get any results! Happy Halloween everyone!
