Strength in Numbers

Janie Good job on your fast walk on the beach with Rolly.

Today was Yoga Max. After that I did some food prep to get ready of ME that starts tomorrow. Then I raked up some more leaves. It was really nice here today it almost felt like summer again.

Another weekend that flew by. Saturday I did EBE2 Weighted Legs. My legs are not getting DOMS as bad as the first few times I did this workout and I feel like I am starting to make progress. Getting close to needing to up the weights, maybe one more time. After that, I met my sister at my mom’s and we made lasagna but used zucchini as the noodles. It was actually really good. Sunday I did EBE2 Weighted Upper Body and then did Ride. Seems like a lot but it was only about 85 minutes so still shorter than Body Max 2! I started to feel really worn down and sluggish yesterday and was worried I was coming down with a cold but I feel ok this morning so must have just been a fluke.

Pam Great job on TTM! That one is definitely a butt kicker. I actually ended up not having to work. I was so happy especially since Saturday was spent with family and Sunday I wasn’t feel the greatest.

Janie Great job on STS D3 and those rubbery legs! I love that feeling. Great job on your beach walk with Rolly. Yummy, homemade bread sounds delicious.

Cheryl Great job on LIHI Legs and PS Back & Biceps! What is vegas? I ended up not having to work over the weekend so I was happy about that. Great job on Yoga Max! Love the late beautiful weather. I like when summer keeps lasting way into Fall.

Have a great day!
 
janie Great job on Disc 3. Those meso 1 leg workouts are killers, how were your legs feeling the next day?!

Cheryl I think they probably won't reschedule the picnic, only 7 families had signed up to come! We ended up just getting together with the neighbors that we wanted to see anyway :) Great job on LIHI legs and PS back and Biceps. I'm not sure what GS is, but good for you getting it ready early :D

Janie Great job on your fast walk with Rolly. I hope you enjoyed your bread!

I took Saturday as a rest day and just did laundry, some running, around, and made dinner for some neighbors. Sunday I did Butts and Guts and again just worked around the house and worked on my glass a little. This morning I did Imax 2 - hooray for 128 jeannie hops :rolleyes:! We actually have sun in the forecast for tomorrow - woo hoo. It will be the first time since a week ago Thursday! I don't know if I will know what to do! Happy Monday!

Pam
 
Julie good work on EBE2 weighted legs. Isn't nice to see some progress. Also good job on EBE2 weighted upper body and Ride. I am glad that you are feeling better today and that you are not coming down with anything,

Pam it is sometimes nicer just to get together with people you really want to. Good work on Butts and Guts and IMAX 2.

OK so I took a look at my previous post and My iPad auto corrected my word vegges for Vegas but I have no idea what GS means. It will teach me not to proof read my posts. So anyway today I did Flex Train since October's rotation isn't posted yet. Today I started ME and this time I decided to cut out my morning coffee. I am rethinking that idea right now since I am feeling really tired and have a headache. Otherwise is is going well.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Evening,

I forgot I joined this thread how rude of me. I just turned 50 the first of September not happy about that and I have 2 girls one is 30 the other is 28 and they are both pregnant due in January and April the oldest has a 3 year old and he is the joy of our lives. My DH and I have beem married 32 years we have been together since high school we grew up together. I work in a pharmacy filling prescriptions and Mondays are horrible. I have hit a slump working out just can't decide what I want to do but this morning I did Afterburn Express Intervals 1-10 had to stop after 20 minutes I felt like passing out. I will do better at checking in.
 
Did Week 2 disc 4 biceps, chest and shoulders. Getting the hang of it, but still way to many push ups. Yikes! LOL! When Ice comes around my door, I'm stopping STS and doing them. LOL! Can't wait!

Cheryl, Great job on Yoga Max. Enjoy the good weather.

Julie, Yes, when you have rubbery legs, you know you are doing something right. LOL! Great job on Sat EBE2 Weighted Legs. Nice about making progress. Always a motivator especially when you think your ready to up the weight. Good for you! OOO like the idea using zucchini as noodles. Glad you did not come down with anything.

Pam, My legs were surprisingly OK the next day. Wow, don't understand that. Yes, the non gluten bread is delicious. Kind of you to make dinner or neighbors and of course for dong errands and some house work. And for Sun. Butts & Guts. Would love to see a photo of your glass. Also for doing this morning Imax2. WoW! 128 jeannie hops, good for you!

Cheryl, Great job on Flex Train. I could never cut out my coffee. I LOVE it to much.

Roxie, Welcome to our group, even though I don't remember when you joined. Sorry about that. Wow you will soon be a grandma again. How exciting! Love how you and hubby been together for so long. Sounds like you decided on Afterburn Express Intervals. You did very well for doing 20 min. of working out since you had a slump. It's normal and will pass. It won't happen on your next exercise. Good for you, keep up the good work. Cheering you on...Looking forward to more of your willingness to get started again. Very inspiring.

Take care everyone,

Janie
 
Last night I did EBE2 Weighted Glutes. It is really not that weighted and is more body weight mat work to me. I did add ankle weights and used a band to help increase the workload a little. Mat work is typically not my favorite, but this one goes by fast and is not too bad. I had to leave work a little early yesterday for my annual wellness exam with my primary doctor. She said I am boring because I had nothing to discuss and all my lab work was good.

Pam Nice day to take your rest day and get caught up on some things before a nice dinner with your neighbors. Great job on B&G! I haven’t done that one in its entirety in forever. Great job on 128 jeannie hops in Imax2! Enjoy that sun while it lasts!

Cheryl Too funny about the autocorrect. Vegas totally makes sense for veggies at least in autocorrect world. Great job on FT! Oh it would be hard to give up morning coffee. I hope it goes well if you decide to stick with it.

Roxie Hello! You are not rude, sometimes life takes over and we forget about things. I know it happens to me a lot. You sound like you have a lovely family. Great job on doing AB Express! AB is very tough, you did awesome getting those 20 minutes in.

Janie Great job on disc 4! STS Meso 1 is Cathe’s idea of pushup heaven and my pushup h3ll! I have such a dread factor so proud of you for doing it! I am looking forward to ICE as well. I am hoping I can convince DH to give it a try with me.

Have a great day!
 
Julie It looks like our posts crossed yesterday. Great job on EBE2 Weighted legs, so nice when you can tell you are making progress! The lasagne sounds good, but I don't think my family would be very excited about the zucchini! Maybe I could slip it in sometime and not tell them ;) Great job on EBE2 Weighted UB and Ride on Sunday and yes, it does sound like a lot! Maybe that was why you were feeling worn down and sluggish...... I'm glad to hear that it wasn't anything worse!

Cheryl I figured out that Vegas was veggies, but the GS had me stumped. Just love that autocorrect! I have been there many time! Great job on FT and getting started on ME. I have been feeling really tired and was second guessing my decision not to do it this time. Let us know how it goes! ed

Roxie Hi, Happy belated birthday. Oh boy, two new grandchildren on the way, you must be so excited! Great job on ABE, that is definitely a tough workout and one to work up to. You were smart to stop if you felt like passing out!

Janie Great job on STS disc 4. You are halfway through the push up marathon, Woo Hoo! I was excited to see that filming has started for ICE. I wonder when we will get the new workouts?! That will be very exciting indeed! Wow, that is amazing that your legs were ok the next day, sometimes there is just no explaining it!

Julie Great job on EBE2 Weighted glutes, I'm not a huge fan of mat work either. It is good to be boring when it comes to your health! My doctor thanked me for being so low maintenance the last time I saw her :D That was my first time in a long time doing B&G too. It doesn't seem to make it into too many rotations for some reason.

This morning I did GS Back, shoulders and biceps and the abs from Lean legs. We set a record yesterday for the most consecutive days with rain, but the good news is today is sunny and is supposed to be in the 70s, and in the 80s tomorrow. Hooray! I was so tired of that darn rain. Have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
Good Evening,

I did 30 minutes of Cyclemax Express this morning had to stop my legs were shaking.
Another busy day at the pharmacy hoping my half day tomorrow is better. Thank you for the warm welcome.
 
Roxie hi and welcome to our check in. Good job on Afterburn Express Intervals. Smart to stop at 20 minutes when you felt like passing out. We all get into these slumps, but don't worry just keep plugging along and it will pass and you will get back into the groove.

Janie Good job on STS disc 4 biceps, chest and shoulders. Yep those push ups really get to you because there are so many.

Julie Good work on EBE2 Weighted Glutes. I think that is good that your doctor thinks you are boring.

Pam I found that ME really helped me getting past the feeling of being tired and sluggish all the time. You really do eat healthy on this plan. I have followed it quite closely since I first went through it last November but I did realize the second time around that I wasn't eating as many veggies as I should. I am hoping to get a few more healthy habits going forward. Good job on GS Back, Shoulders and Biceps and the abs from Lean Legs. I am glad that the rain is going to stop for you and that you will get some sunshine.

Roxie Good for you in getting in 30 minutes of Cyclemax Express. Spinning is a tough one on the legs so i can believe that your legs would be shaking.

So I decided that I couldn't cut out coffee. I only have one cup (OK a really big mug) of coffee a day so I think that is pretty good. If I drank more than that I would look at cutting back a bit. This morning I did PRS#2, I really like that workout. Tonight was our last dragon boating session on Tuesday evenings. It is getting dark out quite early now. So in this session we did a practice run of a 500 meter race. It took us 3 minutes 55 seconds which I guess isn't bad for a bunch of rookies. Then we did a 200 meter race which wasn't quite as tough. There were a ton of seals out in the water tonight and I also saw a jelly fish float on by. Then when we were near the end there was a flash of lighting and then thunder. Well that got the adrenaline going and we paddled hard a fast back to the dock. We really didn't want to be out there in a lighting storm.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
Last night I did LIHI Legs. Wow! I haven’t done that in a month and it was tough. I made it without breaks but still tough. I looked back at my calendar and realized I haven’t done much plyo work in the last 3 weeks so I think I need to incorporate at least 1 day a week with plyos in it. Plus I have some nice glute DOMS this morning and am thinking it was because of the plyos.

Pam Great job on GS BSB + Lean Legs abs! That is some nice weather you have coming. It has been a warmer Fall so far for us this year too. I am hoping it lasts awhile longer. My DH actually said he liked the zucchini lasagna although he said it may have been because he was starving.

Roxie Great job on Cycle Max Express 30 minutes! Good for you for knowing when it was time to stop. That ensures good form and not getting burned out.

Cheryl Great job on PRS#2! LOL about the really big cup! I only drink coffee on the weekends but it is a really big cup too. Great job on dragon boating! So sad it is the end of your Tuesday nights. That would be scary being out in lightning. Glad you got back safe. Just think of that last run back to the deck as your bonus surge.

Have a great day!
 
Roxie Great job on CME, I find spinning to be really taxing, so I'm not surprised that your legs were shaking, Great job getting through 30 minutes!

Cheryl I think the caffeine headaches are killer. I don't drink coffee, but I do drink tea and there is no way I would give it up! Great job on PRS #2, I haven't done that one in forever. Great job on the dragon boating too. I know nothing at all about it, but your time sounds pretty good to me! Oh boy, nothing like a little lightening to put a fire under you huh?!

Julie Great job on LIHI legs! I really like that workout, but some of those hiit sections are really touch! Congrats on those glute DOMS.

This morning was Hiit 40/20 for me. The last couple of times I have done it it has seemed harder than I remembered. Hmmmmm...Have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
Julie way to go on LIHI legs. That is a good leg workout. I don't do much pylo either and I should incorporate it more too. Oh yeah that certainly was my bonus surge. They are talking about doing it on Saturdays, I will see how it goes. I really like doing it but it does cost money.

Pam i hate the caffeine headache. I have decided that I am not going to give up my coffee either. The lightening was unexpected and it put a fire under all of our butts to get back to the dock. Good job on HiiT 40/20. That one has always seemed hard to me.

This morning was Afterburn. The Spider-Mans always get me. After that we dog sat for most of the day. Now we are watching the first hockey game of the season. Summer is definitely over when hockey starts.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
Last night was RWH LIHI CST! I was actually able to do the first set of pushups on my toes. Everything after that was on my knees. Next thing to work on is being able to do the decline pushups on my toes and an actual decline.

Pam Great job on 40/20! It has been so long since I have done that one I bet it would be a disaster. It is one tough workout and you did awesome for getting through it.

Cheryl Great job on AB and those spidermans! Those are my least favorite. When DH and I used to do it, I would always dread when those came up. Yep, hockey starting and baseball playoffs are the end of summer. I hope if you enjoy dragon boating you can find a way to keep doing it.

Have a great day!
 
Cheryl Great job on AB! The Spidermans get me too, but not nearly as bad as those jack push ups on the disks. Yep, you definitely know summer is over when hockey season starts. We are having summer like weather again for a few days though, so I'm not complaining about that at all!

Julie Great job on RWH LIL CST and doing those pushups on your toes! If you get to the point of doing the decline pushups you will officially be my hero!

This morning for me was GS Chest and Triceps. Somehow before I started I had convinced myself that this wasn't the workout with all those drop sets pushups at the beginning. WRONG! UGH. I can make it through the first set on my toes and after that I try to do at least part of every set on my toes. It's also so hard to do the bench presses after all of those push ups too. But I made it through and then added on the stability ball abs bonus from Butts and Guts. Have a great day everyone!

Pam
 
Last night was back and triceps. I'm so glad I have the pull up bar that she uses. So convenient. I would have liked another one for the other home, but it's not available anywhere. At least I can't find it. Know anyone who might want to get rid of theirs?

Pam, Great job on GS Chest and Triceps. You were challenged no doubt. I modify most of the time. Don't like doing that but hey if I don't I can't do my workouts. Also good job for adding on the stability ball abs bonus from G&B.

Julie, Great job on RWH LIHI CST. At this point, I may get out a couple of pushups on my toes, then the rest are on my knees. You are doing great.

Cheryl, Great job on Afterburn.

Take care everyone,

Janie
 
Good Evening,

I haven't worked out the last 2 days shame on me. I have Wednesday afternoons off so DH and I went to the lake we have a ski boat it was a perfect day. Crazy day at work hoping it slows down soon.

Janie-you have 2 homes?

Pam-those pushups are killer.

Julie-I didn't purchase that set and I cancelled my preorder for Ice.

Cheryl-the spidermans are the one thing I don't like about that workout.
 
Julie Great job on RWH LIHI CST. You are not alone with the push ups. I can also do the first set on my toes and then I have to go to my knees too, I also have to work on the decline push ups as well.

Pam I am glad that you are having good weather again after all of the rain that you had. Great work on GS Chest and Triceps. I bet you were surprised when those drop sets came up eh :p. I find that I always have DOMS in my chest and triceps after that workout.

Janie I wish I had that pull up bar. Sorry I don't know of anyone wanting to get rid of theirs.

Roxie I am assuming that since you have a ski boat that both you and your husband water ski? That could be a full body workout in itself.

So this morning I decided that I would do RWH Plyo 2 since I need work in that area. Boy do I ever, I couldn't use two risers and I had to modify some of the exercises. Oh well something to work towards.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl
 
Last night I did my own leg & back workout. Super excited it is the weekend. I am actually leaving work early to get the weekend started. I need to get all my chores and errands done today because we are getting together for my dad’s birthday tomorrow. I’m going to try to make some type of dessert. He was recently told he is diabetic so it has to be low sugar/carb. Let’s see what I can come up with.

Pam Great job on GS C&T and all those pushups! I bet you will remember next time this one is the drop set of pushups. I have a long way to go on those decline pushups in RWH. I am only doing them on my knees not off a decline now. So tough.

Janie Great job on STS back & triceps! Sorry, I love her turbo tower or else I would send it to you. I use it for not only pullups but also for elevated lunges instead of the step. Maybe try ebay or craigslist. Could be a shot in the dark but you never know.

Roxie No shame in not working out for 2 days. Sometimes you need time off especially if you are just starting back up. Don’t want to do too much too fast. Skiing can be a workout in itself. I’m hoping ICE will be something I can get my husband to do with me.

Cheryl Great job on RWH Plyo 2! I can only use 1 riser on that one. The first couple seem tough on just 1 riser can’t imagine 2. I always have something to work towards on almost all the workouts. But I guess that is better than not finding them challenging. Although it would be so nice to be super fit.

Have a great day!
 
Janie Great job on back and triceps. I love the turbo tower too. I got mine from Amazon so you might want to check there to see if they have it. Otherwise as Julie suggested, it seems like I can always find everything on ebay! There is no shame in modifying, it is better to that then to injure yourself and not be able to do anything.

Roxie No shame, you just have to fit those workouts in when you can. Are you water skiiers? My DH and I love to ski, although we never get out as often as we would like. We haven't been out since labor day weekend though and now probably won't again until the spring. Some of our friends ski all winter, but we aren't that die hard. When the weather and water start cooling off we call it quits. We are usually skiing into October, but our weekends haven't worked out this fall.

Cheryl Yes, I was definitely ready for some nice weather. I feel so bad for the people in S Carolina though, they got as much as 24 inches of rain in some places and it is a big mess. Great job on RWH Plyo 2. I can't do those first two rounds on two risers. I worked upt to being able to do them with one riser, so now I start off with one and add a riser after I finish those. I thought I was going to kill myself the first time I tried it with 2 trying to keep up with them! Q

Julie[/B Great job on your leg and back workout. I'm glad to hear you are going to get an early start to your weekend, you have been so crazy busy lately. I hope you have fun at your dad's birthday party.

This morning I was going to do a lighter cardio since I have done Imax 2 and 40/20 already this week, but somehow ended up ding cardio fusion I'm not quite sure how that happened....:rolleyes: it's a good one though and never seems to be in any of the rotations. Happy Friday!

Pam
