Week to Week 12/21/20-12/27/20

I hear you, Geoff! Some of those step routines are so complex. I end up laughing and still getting a good workout but I agree, I don't think I'll ever get some of them down! It's nice to have something to strive for, lol.
Today was the Blizzard Blast from Low Impact Sweat, then To The Mat + MM shoulders. Those hamstring curls on the ball are soooo brutal right out the gate!

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone!
 
Happy Christmas Eve!!! :)

Today I did not workout. I did something to my left foot, because of course I did. *SIGH* It's been hurting for a couple of days but today is worse. No bruising, discoloration, or obvious deformity. Probably a nasty sprain. Doing the usual things one does for those, but decided to take a day off from the workouts.
 
Happy Christmas Eve to everyone who celebrates!

Today was: KY 15m & a Stott UB tubing WO 21m. We’re really busy today due to unexpected weather.

Geoff: Basic Step is one of my favorites!

JennieBean: I hope you hear from that recruiter soon. I used to live outside of NJ & did meet Cathe back before she was well known. It took years for me to realize it had been her.

CarolRose: I hope your foot feels better.

Waving to everyone else.

We’re supposed to get a big rain/wind storm & our power company has warned us that we could lose power - for Christmas! So atypical! The rain, not the wind.
Our tree is small and the lights will run off a battery pack. We have oil & battery lights & a wood stove. We’re currently working on an alternative Christmas menu that we can heat on the woodstove. We’ll treat it as an adventure - one of the benefits of having been campers.
 
Hi all:

Today was Yvette Cardio Kickboxing.

Geoff love the Festivus pole!

JennieBean I have not noticed a delay in OnDemand. Zero issues with streaming. I live in NJ but have never made it to Cathe’s gym. We live closer to NYC and she is in south west by 2 hours.

Lannette where did you live in NJ?

We are due for rain and wind as well.

Hello to CarolRose and Sherri.

Have a great day
 
I See a lot of us are getting some Christmas Eve workouts in!!

Went back in time today and did the lower body work from Jane Fonda's New Workout 1985! Used my usual 3lb ankle weights for an added challenge! Should, be getting another Cathe DVD today. Time for Cooper and me to start our Christmas Eve tradition Death Wish Marathon, Christmas Eve Service later tonight with Chinese take out! Falalalala, BANG, BANG, BANG!!

As, long as I can keep up I'm happy! I know I'll never be a Stepping pro and I'm okay with that :)

Happy, you like my pole! Cooper, is now waiting for Santa Paws to come tonight with some rain an VERY cold tempters for FL!!

Guys! I got the offer and accepted! I'm so excited. I start 2/1.

Thanks for the good wishes, Lanette! Sooooo cool you met Cathe. I'm such a groupie. If the world ever returns to normal I am gonna make the trip there from CT!

I'll have to give Basic Step a go. Is it truly basic? Lol! I love Step Sync and IMAX4 (in fact, I'm doing the latter tomorrow instead of Rock'm Sock'm) but I am still somewhat new to them and I often seem to have 3 left feet haha!

Thanks for letting me know you have no issues, Lisa! I wonder why I have the short lags between each segment OnDemand. I'm gonna see if I can find some info on the Cathe site or Google or something!

High wind and flood warnings for us tonight and tomorrow, too. I hope none of us lose power, and that everyone who celebrates has a healthy, safe, and happy Christmas!
 
Merry Christmas!

We are - as predicted - without power. We’ll survive. Today is Active recovery so I’ll do a little KY on my own soon.
JennieBean - Congratulations & I hope your power stays on and you don’t experience flooding.
 
@JennieBean16 CONGRATS!!! :) How exciting!!

@Lannette that was some crazy storm that blew through the East Coast!! Hope your power is back on soon and that you all are doing okay.

@jacmar I hope you all are okay, too, and that you didn't lose power or have wind damage.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Our daughter was here most of the day and we had a fabulous day. I made lasagna and we watched Christmas movies. :)

We had snow flurries here most of the day, but it barely stuck. Still, it was nice to have snow flying around for Christmas. And it's COLD. I think it's 12 degrees out there right now. I like to sit on my porch in the mornings for a little bit and say my morning prayers, but on days like this I stay indoors. LOL!

Today I will try to do Perfect30 Perfect Pump Upper Body. My foot is still hurting though Motrin does help, but I don't want to do any quick movement workouts or ones with lots of lateral moves. Overall it's getting better, but slowly. I'll have to modify my workouts for a while so I don't re-injure it.
 
Hi all

Today was CL Christmas Countdown 2020. It was fun.

My son and his SO were here for the past two days. We had a lot of fun. Tomorrow we leave to see my daughter in MD. She spent Christmas with SO’s family.

JennieBean congratulations on the new job!
How exciting!

CarolRose we had crazy wind and rain here but thankfully no power lose.

Hello to Geoff Lannette and Sheri

Next week is my active recovery week so I will be posting sporadically.

Have a great day
 
Hello Everyone,

Today was KY 15m & Essential Stott Stability Chair 43m - absolutely so helpful in fine tuning my strength. For me, weight training is gross motor strength whereas this is fine motor strength. Gotta get back to the weight training soon though...

If doing KY movements to Christmas Carols is wrong, I don’t want to be right :)

Our power did come back yesterday. Being without it really slowed down our day - in a good way. It stays dark here until late morning so we sat, sipped tea and chatted by candle light until the sun was fully up. Thank goodness for woodstoves.

CarolRose: Your Christmas sounds lovely. Glad the foot is on the mend.

Lisa: Enjoy your recovery week. Your holidays sound busy but happily so. BTW, I didn’t live in NJ. I lived outside of NJ in a Philly Suburb but taught aero & Step in a club that treated us to a lot of training in the Philly/Jersey area.

JennieBean, Geoff & Sherri hope you’re having a good weekend.
 
Good morning! Was able to do most of Perfect30 Perfect Pump Lower Body, with only slight modifications to protect my left foot. :) It's so much better today, and I'm very grateful because I was beginning to think I had a hairline fracture and would need to have it looked at. :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday! :)
 
Hello to everyone,

Today was KY 20m & 45m of Walk Intervals. I’ve been missing our TM something awful.:D

CarolRose: That’s great news about your foot!
 
Hi eveyone,

Yesterday was a nice long dog walk and today was JS Feel Good Fusion Cardio Flow. I am trying not to think about all the candy I indulged in over the last few days. It was so good! Back to my no processed sugar diet.

Carolrose - Glad to hear your foot is feeling better.
