Good Morning Everyone,

Mish mosh day again for me. I signed up for Mike D. streaming service. It's really good, lots of workouts and, in the 10 minute range so you can add on to your workout.

Today I did a 40 minute total body workout - no weights. Then I added on a 10 minute hiit workout and cathe's pyramid upper body chest/triceps (then supersetted chest/triceps on my own).

Have a great day ladies. Croissants? deeee-lish.

Linda - you sure have a lot of workouts on hand. lucky lady.
 
Ceci, yep, I got a few! :). Good workout for you this AM. We have snow this morning, not a lot, but enough I
Needed to shovel my driveway off and deck, I just can't stand having snow on it. My hands are about frozen so
I gotta warm up before I start cleaning, hopefully. Hope to get a workout in sometime today or this evening....
We'll see....
 
Hi gals,

Rest day other than some general cleaning and as always laundry.

Cold here with a crisp wind chill.

Have a great weekend!

Hi ladies,

I had a rest day yesterday and today we went meant to go to a game this morning, but the roads were so icy it would have been irresponsible to go. Official weather advice was to stay pff the roads, so the game got postponed. This meant we were up showered and dressed but headed nowhere at 8.30 on a Saturday. I am still not really fit (bad cold, stomach ache) so I thought I would rest and read, but then before I knew what had happened I had spent literally hours cleaning and doing laundry.

Tonight I decided to do a low impact w/o afterall, despite already having walked 10.000 steps. I picked X38 (X10 dvd). In the middle of my w/o my son came into the room and asked if it was one the new Cathe. I said new to me, but not new. "Oh, it's from before she had glasses," he said. So I said, I think she only wears glasses on Cathe Live. And guess what he said? "Maybe she only wears glasses on Thursdays." [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

I knew my 10 year old paid attention to my w/o's, as whenever I mention the best trainer ever to other people, he says: "You mean Cathe", but I was not expecting him to remember this kind of stuff. I only had Cathe Live for a couple of months before the summer.

Have a lovely weekend.
 
Kids can be very observant and have impeccable memories! Kudos to your son on his keen observations. I never realized that Cathe wore glasses and probably wears contacts during filming till not too long ago. But I don't have Cathe Live and only see bits and pieces on Facebook.

That's really cute of your son to notice her glasses!!! After shoveling, cleaning, and laundry, I did a 35 min.
Workout blender mix for legs, from Ice, Strong &Sweaty, & STS. Good little workout, I believe I am all
Squatted, lunged, and dead lifted out!!!! :). Have a good rest of the day and evening.
 
Apparently, I didn't get enough of a workout in earlier.....I just finished approx. 50 min of cardio in two different workouts. First, I did
a 25 min. Cathe step mix and shortly after, I did a 25 min. workout blender cardio mix using the mat. (Segments from RWH, Ice & Cardio Slam (with the modifications ! ) I am done now !
 
Hi, great job today ladies on all of your workouts, household chores/functional fitness & steps! Linda, I am spent just reading about your day! lol.
Oh, Ceci, I think you may have convinced me on Mike D! ;) ((feel better soon Henriette)). I think Cathe looks real good in glasses. Annette is right. Sometimes it blows me away what kids pick up on.

I am taking the day off. See you tomorrow. :)
 
LOL, I know, Elsie, going back & reading my posts, I'm thinking, "why did I do all that?" :) I am feeling it this morning ! I wanted to do a
CatheLive today sometime, I don't know if I will or not ! I'll wait & see......

LOL. Meanwhile, I was mostly a lazy lump yesterday (I needed it though) ......so I really appreciate all your energy! Always. ;)
 
Hi Everyone,

Today I am travelling to London to visit a friend and her young children.

Henriette - your son's comment made me laugh out loud.
Linda - whoa. that was a big workout. When i do a big workout it affects the workout the next day. It's always worth it to me though
Elsie - take your rest day! and love how I've convinced you on mike d. when you were the original enabler :)
Annette - freezing here too

Today I did another mish mosh of mike d including 30 minutes lower body, 15 minutes upper body (this was good, high reps) and 10 minutes of a 20 minute amazing jump rope workout. This guy is Ahhhh-mazing.

Have a great day everyone. See you tomorrow.
 
Have a safe and fun trip, Ceci...I just finished the latest CatheLive, "Body Blast Bootcamp ". I really enjoyed it,
I modified the cardio portions, but believe me, I still got a fantastic workout. It is really, really cold here today,
But I need to venture out to the grocery store....Brrrrr......have a great day everyone!
 
I just finished the latest Shine Dance Fitness w/o. This time I modified less than usually, so I got way more sweaty and had so much fun.

I had just been thinking about cancelling it as with all my new dvds I only dance once or twice a week, so 10 dollars seems like a lot to pay, but it's so much fun. It's also something I can do on days when I want something lighter than Cathe.

Thinking about Cathe live and reading all of you doing those workouts it's also tempting to start that again. But for now, I limit myself to one streaming option each month as I also can't seem to stop buying dvds when I read reviews on 2lazy4gym.

Has anyone tried Evolution20 with Christine Bullock? Sounds tempting to own as add on or for days when I really only have little time.
 
Still cold here, but at least the sun is shining....I got into another workout, :), did my own "cardio machines " circuit.
Started with a 10 min Peloton warmup ride, then did 10 min on my elliptical using Bitgym app, and finished with a
15 min. Beatburn treadmill workout. That was fun, but after that, and CatheLive class this morning, I am tired. :)
 
Haaha! Ceci. Have a nice trip! :) Way to go on your intense workouts!!
Looks like you are thinking of ways to keep warm there aquagirl! Excellent workout. We have a nice ski machine here. DH uses it, but I've never really gotten in the groove. Probably ought to us it more as I am not doing much walking around lately.
Henriette, great job on your dance workout! Yeah, having too many streamings on the go just leads to indecision for me! lol. Cathe is awesome however. I may get Live streaming again sometime. I love Cathe Live!!
Annette, hope your rest day is super restful as you have put in solid workouts this week! See you Monday..
Hey tlc .....hope your weekend has been great too. :)
Have not seen Sandy & Conni around much .......hope your year is being kind to you so far.

DH borrowed Core de Force for a day or two and did MMA Speed today. Not the toughest workout, but I liked it quite a bit. (DH was dying! I am being mean. :D)


Have a nice night all! I am looking forward to watching Sherlock. :)
 
Hey Elsie, is the ski machine you have a NordicTrack? I have one of those, I have had it for probably 30+ years and it still works great.
I don't use it as much as I should....but I do still hop on it occasionally and cross-country ski to somewhere ! :) I have several old VHS
VideoSki tapes of different locations that you follow along, those are always fun. When I'm doing something on a machine, I have to have
something to follow, watch or listen to, so I don't get bored. It works !

Yes, it is. It is beautiful wooden machine & I got it for DH for less than 45 bucks on Craigslist. I real steal! Always cardio equipment to be found second hand. He also likes to watch those destination ski videos from youtube while using it. :) What I don't quite understand is that he will use that, but won't come snowshoeing with me with real outdoors, real trees and real snow!
;)
 
LOL, it's too cold outside ! Mine is the wooden one as well, Sequoia model or something like that. It really still looks brand new. I don't
even remember what it cost way back then, but it's been well worth it. I have one of those book holder thingys on it that I got somewhere, and
I did have to get a new one of those several yrs back, because I broke it (plastic) but it holds an ipad, book, and has a place for bottle, cassette
player, etc. I think machines were made a whole lot better back then. My treadmill is probably 10 yrs old or more.....
