Classic/ Week 12/ Day 7/ Rest or XStretch
Hello! I wish it was a sunny Sunday here. We've got overcast skies and snow in the forecast until at least the end of the week. The temps aren't crazy cold, though, so it'll at least be manageable.
Debra....Have a good day with CBL! Your Meez cracks me up. It reminds me of the Bette Midler/Peggy Lee song I mentioned a while back: "Is That All There Is?", where she just wants to keep on dancing. Just break out the booze and have a ball, while the world goes one around her. Boogie Nights! Not THAT'S a very good movie! I find the weight work in SJP a little lacking, too. A really good combo is to add on weight work from Push Pull. She's seems to have made those two to work together. You asked for thoughts on Cathe's Feb rotation. It is very different than anything she's put out before. I think I see the logic of it. The 3 hard cardio days are to burn calories (reduce bodyfat), while the 3 weight days are to build muscle. The leg workout in there would also count as a calorie burner. And because you get such a long stretch between cardio sessions, and weight sessions, you won't get burnt out or bored with either. I think it's a really good rotation, but worry that I would miss cardio during the second half of the week. Of course, you never know unless you try. It's nice that CBL's daughter has a good relationship with her mother. With an older child like that, you at least won't get cast in the evil step-mother role.
Tracy....Oooooh, get better soon! So, you're near the end of the Phase 2 weight work already! That seemed to go by fast.
Nicole....Are you so sleepy from the stress, or are the new workouts taking a toll? Or both? I've done 3 of the Plus workouts and yes, am really happy with them. I'm going to wait until Laurie starts the Plus rotation with me in a few weeks before I get into the UB+ and TB+ workouts. I might experiment with them a bit before then, out of curiosity. TB+ the day after CS sounds like a tough couple of days. Not sure I'd want to try that
Jeanette....Oh, that must have felt wretched, when you had to lie down. What'd you think about the movie? We watched Hoodwinked with the kids last night. That is a fun, super good family movie. Then DH and I watched Good Luck Chuck. Booooooo. Not a good movie. Quite dumb, IMO. Yup, yesterday was my busy Saturday and when I got home I was just too tired to write. My goodness, the feast you brought to your parents of Friday sounded so yummy. I haven't started previewing ASC yet. Maybe today.
Wendy....Your DD has blond hair? Does she take after her dad, for her colouring? You asked about my legs. I think they look very good, except for a bit of jiggle on the back of the thighs. I doubt I'll see much improvement in that area until I get rid of some more bodyfat. With all the travelling you're doing, your own bed must seem foreign to you, especially with the new sheets. Have a good time this weekend. So LIC kicked your butt a little, did it? Heh heh. It's a fun one, though.
Kim....What a weeeeird experience to have in the grocery store! Is it possible you hallucinated the whole thing, given how sick you are? How are you feeling today? I hope you're back to 100% by now.
Traci....Just wondering if you plyo'd it up this weekend, as you were planning? I was a huuuuge fan of Rob Lowe as a teenager, from the movie he did with the then-brat-pack, St Elmo's Fire. Then he faded from my radar (went to jail!) until he reappeared in West Wing. I loved his character in that show. If I understand it correctly, daily cardio is only recommended for those who are trying to lose weight. If that is not your goal, then you only need about 30-60mins, 3 times a week, for the health benefits. I checked out Tony's Great Body Guaranteed workouts that you mentioned. You think they're still good? It's only $25 for the dvd; I was thinking I might order it along with the new 10 Min workouts. Regarding my rotation, I think my logic was that I would do one thorough leg workout per week, add on a session of floor work later in the week, and use intense cardio with lots of plyo-type moves as further leg work. I doubt I spent long enough with the rotation to see any real results. Nope, no breakfast in bed for me. Boo hoo. Do you watch The View every day? Why?
Have a great day!
