Undulating Warriors Feb 15th-21st!

[Peaceful Rainbow]

This morning I did MMA Boxing and thought it was very fun - until I got to the ab workout!! There were two moves that I could not do and I since I can do all the other ab work Cathe has thrown at me that rather shocked me. So, I will be working to conquer those moves.

After that we headed out early for the basketball tournament. Won the first game easily and then with a 3 point lead with 8 seconds to go they lost the second game. It was a real heartbreaker. And means that we have the 9 a.m. game tomorrow, so we have to leave here around 7:30. That likely means no workout for me and it also makes it hard for Nicholas, who is NOT a morning person.

Tara I hope you have lots of fun on your evening out! And you are so right that this undulating rotation is a total shock to our muscles. I'm loving it and finding it far more effective that doing STS in order. Yay! on Pyramid. I really need to do the pilates abs again soon. I've been doing shorter ab workouts and I need to get back to the longer ones.

MJ I'm so glad that your evening out went well! That's wonderful that you got all those compliments.

Heather kudos on your outdoor run - I so admire you for getting out in the cold and doing that. I'm such a wimp about the cold.

Janis I hope your weekend is going well.

Hi Warriors!
I think I am pretty much recovered from my unplanned, not-trained-for half marathon. Yesterday I did Drill Max, today I did a short 3.5 mile steady state run, stopping to stretch after each mile, and then I did Imax 2 all the way through! There were a few rough spots during interval 3 and 9, but I did fairly well otherwise. It was a fun fun fun workout that I will do often. I feel mightily encouraged that I am starting to ‘get’ it. I changed the orientation of my step, which gave me a lot more room to move, it too will require a little adjustment time given that sometimes I am turned away from Cathe.

Tara – You so deserve some fun with friends! I hope you had a blast. Meso 3, week 3 here we come! It’s Meso 1 after that which gives me pause! Mixing up the Meso’s has made me appreciate STS and the program Cathe has assembled EVEN MORE, plus the workout manager, the 1 RM’s etc… It's a rock solid program that I am going to do again and again.

MJ – You have accomplished so much – SO MUCH – in a year, just imagine what you can accomplish in another year, and then the year after that! Presenting yourself, your new self, at the party on Wednesday could not have been easy, I think you most certainly deserves a fitness reward. (tennis dress, tennis dress, tennis dress. )

Cathy – I am so happy you had fun with MMA Boxing. I love the MMA workouts. Those roll ups to the knee are not easy! But once you get the hang of it, they’ll be a cinch! (I am assuming those are the ab moves you are referring to..?) No, no hitchhiking, I live in a small town, I recognized the guy were gave me a lift, and he came recommended by his wife!

Heather – A bright sunshine-y day that is just above freezing!!! OMG! Sounds lovely except for the brrrr factor! Have you dipped into the Insanity workouts? BodyRock.tv sounds like a great way to get short but effective work done! I’ll have to look at her selection. Is she using Tabata style work outs?

Now that I am no longer a vegetable, I need to get the house ship-shape.
