Strength in Numbers

Sorry for being MIA. Been so busy having fun. LOL Yesterday was Total Body Stretching and a jog for 20 min. on the beach with Rolly. today was Basic "Step plus Ab routine add on.

I'm so tired for going so long the last two days I'm going to bed. Read everyone's post and so proud of you all. Will get it back together tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a good night sleep.

Janie
 
Janie No need to be sorry, I am glad that you are out having fun. Good job on total body stretching and your job and Basic Step and Ab add on. Is you sister still there? Have a good sleep.

Today I did Step Works an oldie but a goodie. I was a puddle of sweat after that one.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
For me today was the Wedding Video.
My sister Joy will be here until Joey starts to come home. In the mean time another sister says she's coming over tomorrow with our Dad and perhaps bringing yet another sister and her daughter. Oh my am I going to be busy. I may not be able to get a chance to post. They will be here at least a couple of days.

Cheryl, Great job on Step Works. I love that one too, so much fun. Yep they really make me sweat as well. LOL

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend,

Janie
 
Saturday I spent the day with my mom helping her organize and unpack. We got quite a bit done but there is still a lot more to do. Sunday I did some Gorgeous Glute work and Burn Sets Chest and Shoulders. Then it was being lazy and watching Bones. This morning I did CrossFire. I was really tired when I got up and hoped CF would give me energy. I’m still waiting for that energy burst.

Cheryl Great job on your Total Body Bosu workout plus SM1! The bride must have thought ahead. Her dress was strapless and knee length in the front with a light train in the back. It was probably still hot but not as bad as a traditional full length dress. I think today will be one of those “I wish I could nap at work” days. Great job on Step Works! I hope you can still enjoy your vacation with the hot weather.

Janie Great job on TBS + 20 minute jog on the beach and BS plus abs! Great job on the WV! Sounds like you will be busy but I am sure you will have fun with your family. Try to get some rest in there with all that fun!

Have a great day!
 
Julie Great job on GG and back work on Friday. I'm glad to hear that your energy was back, I imagine your strength will be back again soon, if it isn't already. Oh boy, I hope the church had air conditioning on Friday night. that would be miserable otherwise!

Cheryl Yea, I'm not really looking forward to that long flight to and from Japan, or trying to get adjusted to the time change. Oh well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Great job on your BOSU total body workout and stretch max! I keep forgetting about my BOSU, I need to get that thing out again. I hope you are enjoying your vacation, housework doesn't sound the way to start though :confused::rolleyes:

Janie So glad you have been busy having fun! It sounds like you must be enjoying your sisters visit. Great job on your TBS and beach job and also on Basic step plus abs! I hope you got caught up on your sleep!

Cheryl Great job on Step works, I love that one!!

Janie Great job on the wedding video! Wow, sounds like you are getting lots of company, that is great, enjoy the time with your family!

Julie Great job on GG and BS Chest and shoulders! You have been a great help to your mom, I bet she really appreciates that! Oh boy, Crossfire, I think that would take all the energy I had right out of me. Great jb on that, I hope that energy finds you again!

Saturday morning for me was KPC, so I got just the right amount of pikes. DH was out of town playing golf with his brother so I went and met some other folks at the lake to ski. It was fun, but I ended up being there most of the day. After that I went for a pedicure and then went home to make dinner for the kids. Yesterday morning was Circuit Blast. Since it's pretty short I added on the cardio only part after I did the whole thing through. That made it just under an hour which was perfect. After that I worked getting ready for my classes this week and next and then just chilled and read for awhile before getting dinner ready. This morning was 4DS Kickbox. I hadn't done that one in awhile, so it was good. I may not get to post a lot this week as I am teaching a class starting this afternoon, but will try to post when I can. Have a good Monday!

Pam
 
Janie Good job on the Wedding Video. Enjoy your time with your family.

Julie How is your Mom doing after her surgery? She is lucky to have a daughter like you to help her out. Good job on GG and Burn Sets Chest and Shoulders. Crossfire is a toughie, did you get that energy burst? The bride must have been thinking ahead. Smart idea to have a short dress for a summer wedding.

Pam Well getting the housework done first let me enjoy the start of my vacation, well until I need to do the housework again :(. Good job on KPC and Circuit Blast and the cardio add on. Good job on 4DS Kickbox too. Enjoy teaching your classes and post when you can.

Yesterday was Yoga Max then in the afternoon we went over to my parent's for a BBQ. This morning I did 4DS Higher Intensity Step with Chest and Back work. That was one I haven't done in a long time. So a couple of our neighbours are away so I am looking after their places. So I was feeding an extra cat and watering gardens today.

Cheryl
 
This morning my alarm went off and I didn’t want to get out of bed. I was snuggling with Maggie and it was so nice. Plus I got woke up in the middle of a very deep sleep which always makes it hard. Anyway, I got up and did some Gorgeous Glute work plus Burn Sets Back. At the end of that workout, I was feeling good and glad I got up and worked out.

Pam Great job on KPC! No added pikes? Just kidding! Sounds like you had a fun day on Saturday. Great job on Circuit Blast Extreme! I’ll have to keep that in mind next time I do CB to add on the cardio only to get it to an hour. Great job on 4DS Kickbox too. Have a good class!

Cheryl Great job on Yoga Max! BBQuing sounds fun. What is weird is that I don’t eat meat but I love the smell of BBQs. Great job on 4DS HIS! I love the around the clock pushups in that one. My mom is doing pretty good. She has a hernia and is seeing a surgeon in late August about surgery to fix it. I don’t mind helping her but sometimes I get frustrated with her health problems because they could all be avoided or lessened if she would eat right and lose weight. I can’t talk to her about that though because she is the type that will do the exact opposite of what you tell her to do just to show you she is in control of her own body. Sorry for the rant. I think that has been building up inside me for a while.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl I think that housework should be banned while on vacation, if only that were possible, huh?! Great job on Yoga max and 4DS HIS. So you are a cat and plant sitter on your vacation too, huh?

Julie Good job getting up and doing GG and BS back when you wanted to be snuggling with Maggie. I hate it when my alarm wakes my up in the middle of a really good sleep, but I'm glad you were feeling goo after your workout.

This morning for me was supposed to be PUB, but I messed up and did PLB. :eek: I have them both on the same disc and somehow had skipped past PUB without realizing it. I had already done the warm up and she started into leg presses so I figured I would just go with it. Hope everyone is having a good day. Janie, I hope you are enjoying your time with your family!

Pam
 
Julie I think I would have stayed in bed :eek:. Way to go in getting up and doing GG and Burn Sets Back. I know what you mean about getting frustrated with someone who won't look after them self and will do the opposite of what they should be doing. No need to apologize for the rant that is what we are here for.

Pam Oh but I can have exciting vacations can't I, don't ya wish you were me :D. The cat sitting is now over but I still need to water the neighbors garden until Friday. Good job your mistake on doing PLB.

So this morning it was MMA Fusion. I thought of Julie when I was doing those turtle spins. After that I did Spring Cleaning in July, I washed curtains and windows and moved all the furniture and vacuumed in the living room and dining room then did some cleaning outside as well. I know, I know, you are saying to yourself that you wish you were having the same exciting vacation as I am having LOL.

Have a great day everyone. Umm I wonder what exciting things await me tomorrow!!!!

Cheryl
 
This morning was Burn Sets Bis/Tris plus 40/20. Sometimes it was more like 35/25 and I had to take longer rests towards the middle to end of the workout but hey at least I did it right? I don’t know what I was thinking putting my HiiT workouts on Wednesdays. Wednesdays are the hardest days of the week for me. I know most people say it is Mondays for them but I think Wednesday mornings are hard because you haven’t quite made it over that hump yet. By Thursday morning, you have a little more to look forward to.

Pam Great job on PLB! I love that one and haven’t done it in so long. Although I think I would have stopped and switched workouts. I am kind of OCD in that it would bother me all day that I did the wrong workout. You are good though in just keeping on.

Cheryl Great job on MMA Fusion and those fun turtle spins! I hate to admit it but I am a little jealous of your spring cleaning in July. I actually sometimes fantasize about taking a week of vacation so I can really deep clean my house like that.

Have a great day!
 
Julie Good job on Burn Sets Bis/Tris and 40/20. Don't worry about taking longer rest breaks the main thing was that you got up and did it. So you would like to take vacation to clean too. It does feel good to get it all clean though.

This morning I did 4DS Lower Intensity Step with Shoulders, Calves and abs. It has been a very long time since I had done more than the cardio in any of these. It is like a whole new workout. So after that I didn't go super crazy on cleaning, I just cleaned the kitchen counters and wiped down the cupboards and cleaned the outside of the stove and fridge and washed a couple of small area rugs. Umm lets see what I can get into tomorrow :p.

Cheryl
 
This morning I did the scrambled premix on Cycle Max. I was feeling pretty good this morning. Of course, I was constantly reminding myself 2 more days till the weekend!!

Cheryl Great job on 4DS LIS! You are doing good with adding on the cleanmax too! Even though you didn’t go crazy (in your words), I think you still got a lot done. Sometimes it is nice to do a little each day and leave time to relax too.

Have a great day!
 
My family has left and it is such an eerie quite. Loved having my family here to visit, especially my Dad. Tonight I will post again with my exercises. Unfortunately wasn't able to find the time with the 8 of us in this small Mobil home. LOL Such as life sometimes.
Been having a pain on my upper left shoulder blade. Doesn't seem to get any better, with hot or cold presses. I think it's from push ups. Any idea what it may be? An injury perhaps? Yuck, I hate to think of the latter, means more time away from exercising. Had it ever since I started the Beginning Rotation from Cathe. Hmmmmmm.
It's so good to be back to normal almost, it will be normal once Joey is back from MI. He should be home Monday maybe then he'll go to Shelton to mow and whack weeds there then come to the BH.

Pam, Great job on PLB. I did enjoy my wonderful family. Thank you for asking.

Cheryl, Great job on 4DS Lower Intensity Step with shoulders, calves and abs. And for doing cleanmax.

Julie, Great job on scrambled premix on Cycle Max. Not an easy one for sure.

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
Julie Great job on the scrambled premix on Cycle Max. When you read this it will be one day until the weekend!!!!!

Janie Glad that you enjoyed having your family over to visit. It does get really quite once everyone is gone. I would get your shoulder looked at. It could be anything and you don't want to aggravate it and make it worse.

This morning it was Athletic Step one I hadn't done in a long time. After that I decided to take it easy and not do much. It is really hot out and cleaning was the last thing I wanted to do.

Happy Friday.

Cheryl
 
Rolly and I walked fast on the beach for about 30 min.

Cheryl, Great job on AS. On the coast it's only about 62 out. Try and stay cool.

Take care,

Janie
 
This morning I did some Gorgeous Glute and added on some back work. I have worked up to 10 chin ups with my biggest assistive band. I might do a few more weeks with the big band and then maybe try going to the medium size band.

Janie Sounds like it was crowded at your house. But I am sure it was great being with your family. Hmmm … I’m not sure what is wrong with your shoulder blade. Maybe a pinched nerve? Not sure what to do about that but maybe try massaging it gently with your hand or a tennis ball. Great job on your fast walk with Rolly on the beach!

Cheryl Great job on Athletic Step! I hope you enjoyed your rest day. You have definitely worked hard this week cleaning and deserve a relaxing day. I am very excited that this is the last day before the weekend. And technically the weekend starts when I leave work in 8 hours!!! Although I am sure you are not counting down the days until your vacation is over!

Pam I hope your class went well this week!

Have a great day!
 
Janie Good job on your walk on the beach with Rolly. It is cold where you are. Here it is in the high 80's to low 90's.

Julie Good work on your GG and back work. Good for you with the 10 chin ups with your band. Nope not counting the days yet. Next week I probably will.

It was 4DS Bootcamp with morning. It was hard because it was hot, I had a fan going but I was pooped after it. Then I did the regular housecleaning and then we went for a walk around Lafarge lake that is in the middle of suburbia. There was a cool breeze which helped with the heat.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Cheryl
 
Today is the first day that my shoulder is feeling a tad better. Must have been an injury. Darn! And I thought I was so careful!
Rolly and I went walking on the beach today. Will start a rotation on Sun. or Mon. Giving it some more time to heal.

Julie, Great job on Gorgeous Glute and added back work. Yea For the 10 chin ups with the assisted band. Good for you!

Cheryl, Great job on 4DS Bootcamp this morning. Proud of you for doing them even when it is so darn hot! Also for the cleanmax and the walk around Lafarge Lake.

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
Janie Glad that your shoulder is feeling better. Take it easy with it, you want to make sure that it is healed. Good work on your walk on the beach wit Rolly.

This morning I did 4DS Kickbox. I was again a puddle of sweat. After that we cleaned out the garage. It took a while as we had to visit with all the neighbours while we did it. It feels so good though to get it done.

Cheryl
 
Hi ladies, sorry I have been MIA for awhile. Last week was busy with the class, but it went pretty well. We had concert tickets Tuesday night too, so i got to bed late so planned on sleeping later and not working out on Wednesday morning. I no longer remember what workout I did Thrusday owning, but I did something :) Friday morning I did tabatacise 1-5 with an extra break after number 3. Saturday I had to leave for Tokyo so I didn't work out Saturday morning either. I have just been in Tokyo for a couple of hours now, it will be going to bed very soon as it's 9:20 Sunday night, 13 hours ahead of home. I'm not sure it ill get to post much this week, I hope everyone had a good week. I'm looking forward to getting home on Friday and getting back to my regular schedule!
