Pam, Great job on LIHI CST and bonus abs 2. A victory for foing 6 of the decline pushups.! Awsome!

Julie, Great job on Live Stability Ball Total Body Weights. Way to go to do it even when you are tired!

Cheryl, Great job on ICE Rock'm Sock'm and I added on the Blizzard Blast. You go girl. And for taking a rest day.

Take care everyone,

Janie

Last night was Live 2015 Road Trip Kickboxing. It was good but again probably not one I would return to. It didn’t keep my heart rate up very high and I had to add in extra jumps and jacks to keep it up.

Pam Great job on LIHI CST + abs 2! That one is so hard with the finishers. You’re amazing to do abs after it. That’s probably true that it is not a bad workout just not one that suits my tastes.

Janie Great job on your Step Cardio!

Have a great day!

Janie Great job on Step cardio!

Julie Great job on Road Trip Kickboxing. It seems like a lot of the kickboxing workouts don't keep my heart rate up. Good job of adding in jacks to keep it more intense!

This morning was supposed to be PRS 2, but since that one was just on the rotation a week or so ago I did a Mindy Step workout instead. It was fun and a nice change of pace. Have a great day everyone!

Julie Good job on Live Stability Ball Total Body Weights and getting it done with little energy. Too funny about feeling bad about giving Cathe a 3 for her workout.

Pam Good work on LIHI CST and Bonus abs 2. The finishers are tough in this one, good for you in doing 6 decline push ups.

Janie Way to go on your 35 minute step cardio.

Julie Good job on Live 2015 Road Trip Kickboxing. Too bad that it didn't keep your heart rate up.

Pam Good work on your Mindy Step workout.

So yesterday was Imax 2 and then in the evening I went dragon boating. This morning was Great Glutes. I have attached two pictures of our team at the regatta. In the first one you can't see me but I am in the front seat behind the person beside me. In the second picture am in the front seat with the orange life jacket.

Have a great day everyone.

Last night was Live Total Body Giant Sets. It was good but I modified one of the giant sets. As usual with most Cathe live, she does not do much heavy back work. The 3rd giant set was some back work combined with core work so you ended up focusing more on core than back. So I switched out those moves with exclusively back work. Loved it that way. She still has another giant set at the end that is core focused so I didn’t end up neglecting the core work completely.

Pam Great job on your Mindy step workout! It is nice to do something different.

Cheryl Great job on Imax 2 and dragon boating and then Great Glutes! Love the pics. So do the people at the front and back of the boat ever get to row or is that their full time job?

Have a great day!

 

[pgeiger]

CherylGreat job on Imax 2, dragon boating and GG! I love the pictures. You look fabulous and that is all that really matters, right?

Julie Great job on Live Total Body Giant Sets, making it work for you and not neglecting your core . It sounds great!

This morning was supposed to be AOLIH but I wasn't feeling like doing that one. I guess I wasn't feeling much like doing anything because I stood staring at my dvds for so long trying to decide on something else to do. I finally ended up with a mish mosh of the cardio parts of All Step, Step+Intervals, and 10-10-10. I just did 10-10 on the last one though My ankle was bothering me so I decided it was time to quit and that gave me about an hour anyway. This week hasn't really been dragging, but I woke up this morning thinking it was Friday. Errr...I hate it when that happens. Have a great day!

Julie Good work on Total Body Giant Sets and not neglecting your core . The person who was sitting at the front of the boat is our coach and on our team that is all that she does. She sits at the front and coaches us but she does paddle with two other teams so she does get a chance to do other things. The person at the back is our steer person and she does both steering and paddling.

Pam Good job on your cardio mish mosh. I hope your ankle is doing better.

Well today was Ride but I don't have that one so I did Slide and Glide just the cardio and abs. I really struggled today to do anything and I was tired and drained from the heat that we have been having. I did mange to veg out on the coach though for quite a few hours though . I was going to go dragon boating tonight but I was just too tired so I decided to take a break. We did end up going to our neighbours for a beer tonight which tasted so good after a really hot day.

Happy Friday! Last night I did Live Circuit S-W-E-A-T! That is what she named it with the “-“. It was a good quick bootcamp workout. I would say it is more intermediate. It started out pretty light and easy but built up. So happy it is the weekend. I have so much to get this weekend at home I hope I can do it and still relax a little. DH goes for a CT scan today to find out what is going on with the pain in his hip and leg from the SI joint injection 2 ½ weeks ago. Probably won’t get the results until next week.

Pam Great job on your CTX cardio mish mosh! Glad you figured out something to do. It is tough when you don’t have a rotation to come up with something on the fly. Good for you for listening to your body and quitting a little early. You still got a great workout in it seems. I haven’t thought this week has dragged either but boy am I glad it is Friday.

Cheryl Great job on S&G cardio & abs! Good job for listening to your body too and resting. With the heat it is easy to get dehydrated and feel lethargic. Glad you took some time to recoup. I hope you get some relief from the heat. I was wondering about them because I thought it would be boring to just sit or stand there all the time.

Have a great day!

 

[pgeiger]

Cheryl Great job on S&G and getting some veg out time to recoup! A nice cold beer after a hot day sounds just perfect!

Julie Happy Friday to you too! Great job on Live Circuit S-W-E-A-T! The name is funny with those dashes in it. I hope they are able to figure out what is going on with your DH. I guess he is still in quite a bit of pain then. Poor guy! I hope you are able to find some time to relax this weekend.

This morning was 4DS KickBox. It was funny though because I wasn't really paying much attention when I started the dvd. I got through the warm up and we started into Bootcamp - oops! I started the wrong workout. I wasn't up for doing Bootcamp instead, so I switched over to Kickbox. My DH just got home at 6 am on a redeye from California so he is sleeping now. I hate taking redeyes. Tomorrow is my moms move day so it's going to be a busy weekend. My brother and his wife came from Florida last night to help and my nephew and his wife are coming tonight. of course the real work will come after they are moved out getting the house cleaned out and fixed up to sell, but we can spread that out a bit too. have a great day everyone!

Julie Good work on Live Circuit S-W-E-A-T. I hope everything goes well with your DH CT scan. Those two positions are not boring. The steer person has a hard job in trying to keep the bot going straight especially when it is windy. Our coach does a lot of yelling at us so we keep her busy too.

Pam Good work on 4DS Kickbox/Bootcamp. You are going to have a busy weekend. I hope everything goes smoothly with your mom's move day.

Well I took another day off. I was so tired when I got up I decided just to veg out one more day. It is suppose to cool down so I should be able to get back to it tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone.

This weekend flew by. Saturday I did a Lift Weights Faster workout and then cleaned and ran errands. Got home really late and was exhausted because I got up early to get everything done. Sunday was Live Smokin’ Upper Body Blast and it was fun. I don’t think Cathe has anything like it on DVD but I think she should. After that, I picked pears off my tree. I think I did it a little early but they were getting eaten by bugs and I wanted to save as many as I could.

Pam Great job on 4DS Kickbox! Too funny about starting Bootcamp and not realizing it right away. I hope you were able to get your mom settled in. That was nice to have your brother and nephew help out.

Cheryl Good for you for taking another day off. That’s funny that the coach is kept busy because she is yelling at you. I don’t think I would be a good steer person. I cannot walk in a straight line and would probably have the boat zigging and zagging all over the place.

Have a great day!

 

[pgeiger]

Cheryl Good for taking another day off when you needed it. Sometimes our bodies just let us know exactly what we need to do. I hope you are getting some cooler weather.

Julie Great job on LWF, clean max and errands. Sounds like quite the long day. Great job on Smokin' Upper Body Blast too, it sounds like a good one! How fun to have a pear tree. I love pears!

It was a busy weekend with the move, but we got my mom and sister all moved into their new place. I think they are going to really enjoy it there once they get settled in and start getting used to the place. They have already met some of the people and I think they will really enjoy getting involved in some of the activities and outings. Now our big job comes getting her house cleaned out, fixed up and sold. And unfortunately we are out of town for the next two weekends so can't start on it for a couple of weeks. I didn't do any formal workouts over the weekend with the move and everyone here, but this morning got back to it with Body Blast Legs and Glutes. I like that one because it seems like she does a more reasonable number of reps on the floor work than on some of the other leg workouts. I hope everyone has a great day!

Julie Good job on your Lift Weights Faster workout and your cleaning and errands. Way to go on Live Smokin' Upper Body Blast and picking your pears. Fruit right off the tree are so good.

Pam I am glad that your got your mom and sister moved in and they are meeting some of the other people. Getting a house ready to sell is a big job, enjoy your next two weekends out of town. Good work on Legs and Glutes.

So Saturday I went dragon boating, it was a lot cooler which was really nice. Sunday I did Yoga Relax and this morning I did XTrain Cardio Leg Blast. Then because it was a lot cooler I got the main floor vacuumed cleaned the carpets and washed the floor. Then I did some errands. Whew I think I am going to sleep well tonight.

Have a great day everyone.

Last night was Live Rock Bottoms and Core! I was excited about this one but it wasn’t that spectacular. The weight was too light and there was too much core (of course I would say that). If I ever did it again, I think I would repeat the standing leg section and skip the core.

Pam So glad you got your mom moved in. I think that would be a great benefit in living in one of those communities is all the activities they do. Don’t worry the house will still be there when you are ready to work on it. Great job on L&G!

Cheryl Great job on dragon boating, YR, and CLB! Wow that was a lot of cleaning. Cleaning floors is no joke and is a tough job. Good for you for getting it done. Hope you did sleep well.

Have a great day!

 

[pgeiger]

Cheryl Nice to hear that you got better weather for dragon boating on Saturday. Great job on YR and CLB. Wow, you were busy with all of that cleaning. I bet you slept like a rock after all that!

Julie Great job on Live Rock Bottoms and Core, but that's a bummer that it wasn't that great. I read the title and though it sounded awesome. Yep, the house will still be there, but I do want to get it done as soon as possible since we need to get it sold. The longer it waits the more it is costing her. I am hoping that once it's on the market it won't take long to sell though because our real estate market is red hot right now.

This morning was Kickmax. Not one my favorites but it felt like I have done all of the other kickboxing workouts recently so I did it. I cut the standing leg drills short at the end though to make the total workout an hour. I don't like those drills very much anyway . I hope everyone has a great day!

Pam

Good morning all! This morning was LIC for me. Another one that I haven't done in ages that I really enjoy. The step segments are pretty short but I really like them. I'm getting worried about our beach weekend this weekend. Tropical depression 9 may dampen our fun! have a great day!

Pam

 

[jldx2in2000]

Last night was Live 2014 Road Trip All Step. I thought it was going to be more choreography type step so I raised my step height to 2 risers. Turns out this was more interval/drill/blasts type workout. I made it through the workout with the 2 risers which I think helped the intensity. I didn’t care for the other Road Trip live class but I liked this one and could see repeating it.

Pam Great job on KM! I agree it was of my least favorites as well and those leg drills are yuck! That sounds promising that it might sell quickly. I hope you can find time soon to get it ready to put on the market. Great job on LIC! Oh no! I hope that the tropical depression stays away so you can have a fun beach weekend.

Have a great day!

 

[Thumper]

Julie Good job on Live Rock Bottoms and Core. Too bad that it wasn't what you had hoped for.

Pam Good work on Kick Max. It isn't one of my favorites either and the standing leg work I find really hard. Way to go on LIC too. I hope that tropical depression 9 stays away and doesn't ruin your weekend.

Julie Good work on Live 2014 Road Trip All Step.

Yesterday was 4DS Higher Intensity Step with Chest and Back work. In the afternoon I went for a walk and in the evening I went dragon boating. We can't stay on the water as long as we used to because it is getting darker out earlier now . This morning was 4DS Kickbox with Legs.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheryl

 

[jldx2in2000]

Last night was Live Shredded Upper Body w/Ball. It was ok. Not one I will do again. It was not very intense except for one segment and since you are working on the ball, you can only heavy up so much. Cathe must have been tired because she rested a lot. I am taking tomorrow off work. Have a couple of appointments I need to go to. I probably won’t get a chance to post until Tuesday because of the long Labor Day weekend.

Cheryl Great job on 4DS HIS and C&B plus walking and dragon boating! It is a bummer when the days start to get shorter isn’t it. I really don’t mind Fall weather but I do like having the sun out more. Great job on 4DS Kickbox and Legs!

Have a great day and weekend!

 

[pgeiger]

Julie Great job on Live 2014 Road Trip All Step. It sounds like a good one, maybe kind've like Athletic step?

Cheryl Great job on 4DS HIS, your walk and dragon boating. Oh no, I can't believe it is already starting to get dark earlier. BOOOO!

Julie Great job on Live Shredded Upper Body w/Ball. I don't mind some upper body work on the ball, but I don't think I'd like the whole thing on the ball. I hope you enjoy your long weekend.

This morning for me was Tabatacise. I felt great and got through the whole thing with no extra pauses. I was worried because yesterday my hip was really aching, but it was fine this morning thankfully. The tropical depression is now a tropical storm and has a name - Hermine. It is supposed to be out of here by Saturday morning, so looks like worst case we will wait until Saturday morning to go to the beach. Have a great day!
