Welcome Back Jammers.

This week I'd like to start with a question....

What is your favorite combo? It doesn't matter which workout dvd, I just want to know what set of moves makes you feel good.

Let's have another great week!

Welcome Back Jammers.

This week I'd like to start with a question....

What is your favorite combo? It doesn't matter which workout dvd, I just want to know what set of moves makes you feel good.

Let's have another great week!

Okay, I can move my arms to type now...

First of all...favorite combo. Hhmmm...I think the third set on PK&J. Single single double double/upper cut/zig zag/knee/back kick. The music on that one makes me happy, too. :bigsmile:

The class on Friday whipped me. I had a hard workout week to begin with & had already done FB, CP & AJ before I went so my body was screaming at me. The class was interesting. It was "Round 36" of Turbo Kick & she added some harder moves b/c the class had a TON of instructors in it. If you have a masters class offered in your area, you should GO. You haven't experienced Turbo until you've done it in a room of instructors. Crazy! It was so much fun, though! I came home & felt like death, but it was a LOT of fun.

After doing tons & tons of research, I've decided to hold off on instructor training for a year. Although I'm close to my weight goal & I love doing Turbo, I need to get into "instructor" form, kwim? I just can't compete with the ladies in spandex! Plus, at the stage my kids are in & with my oldest starting pre-school in the fall, I couldn't see myself even being able to go out & get a job as an instructor for at least a year.

I did, however, decide to become a Beachbody coach so I'm currently learning the ropes of that! ACK! I've never done an "at-home" business before so I'm nervous! I'm hoping by the end of the week, I'll have my website & everything all set up & ready to go!

I have TS, AJ & some cardio scheduled for today! YAY!

Lyn - Yay on the new job! When do you start?! Sorry aboutyour hubby having his hours cut, though. That sucks. :frown:

Lyn_Matthews

Sara-I think that's wonderful. What were you thinking doing all those workouts BEFORE going to workout???? :laugh: Thank you for answering the combo question....and just for your info we will be discussing the music next week :happy: (btw I sent you a pm)

I was suppose to start "work" last week, but my hubby ended up working all day rather than half day and I didn't wanna take the baby with me so I just called and let her know that I wouldn't make it in....turns out she had forgotten all about it and had gone to lunch with her daughter and then taken her to the airport to see her off. HAHA so it worked out well. I will be going in sometime this week since hubby is suppose to have the majority of the week off.

I ran into my old boss this weekend and she said she may know of a couple more brokers that need contract processors so she's gonna pass my name around, hopefully that will give me more work.

I'm going to have to search deep into my will today to find the power to workout...feeling unmotivated and very tired.

And here I was just going to tell you to take the day off. :laugh:

I have a LOT of favorite music in TJ so brace yourself for that answer. LOL What's your fave combo, Lyn?!

I hope your ex-boss gets a lot potential work for you! That would be awesome!

Oh, and to answer your question, I WASN'T thinking! :laugh: I did FB before I left for my playdate. THEN, I came home & worked out & THEN I checked my e-mail where she invited me to the master class. I couldn't say NO! Geesh! I did, however, learn my lesson. Ouch!

megan0313

Wow Sara...that's great! We'll have our very own Beach Body Coach on our thread! :laugh: I'm so happy for you! I can only imagine what it must have been like in that room full of instructors! WTG!! Also, i noticed your ticker's moved...Congrats!~ :drinker:

Lyn, hmmm...I agree with Sara, i like that single/single/double combo in PK&J, and I also like the one in CP3 where you do the speed bag around in a circle, then uppercuts then "house it' and a cross punch,then elbows high and low. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but now that I do, I love housing it! :laugh:

I did fat blaster and booty sculpt and abs this morning, and am planning a walk later...although it's much colder today...

Have a great day everyone!

Lyn_Matthews

MOTHER!!!!! UGH! LOL I U now go to work

I seriously need motivation to get out of my chair today...okay here I go...I need to do something fun today..CP2 or 3 I think....ugh dont wanna move!

I'll answer fav combo when I come back...I know you all love anticipation

3babybeans

There used to be a couple other Beachbody coaches on this thread, but they stopped posting.:ohwell:

It was seriously insane, Megan. I think they were all competing with each other & the room we were in wasn't all that well laid out so there were chicks like a foot away from the mirror. Entertaining to say the least. At least I got a good show while I sweated my *kitten* off. :laugh:

Oh, the ticker hasn't moved for nearly 2 weeks, but thank you! It BETTER move on Wed. at my weigh-in otherwise the ticker & I are going to have words with each other.

Good job getting your workout in already! I'm couting the minutes until the kids are down so I can get mine in & then work on my BB stuff some more!

LOL And that is why MY mother isn't on this website. :laugh: Well, that & the fact that she's a stick. *eye roll* Thanks for not passing on THOSE genes, Mom!

I'll be doing my workout in about half an hour so think of it like you're working out with me, Lyn! We can pretend! :laugh:

gottaluvboyz

OK, first favorite combo(s)...In CP I love the third set (right before the turbo) where you do speed bags, upper cut, speed bags, upper cut, elbow, back kick, 2xknee pull downs ( I love the taekwondo punches, speed bags, jack that follow as well). In 20 minute I love the 3rd set right before cool down..cannot think of the exact combo, but they really close in on Janelle quite a bit and it really motivates me). In P,K,&J I love the first set...mainly because it took me a few times to "get it" and once I did I was really proud. She switches so much from going across the room, to taking your punches from top to bottom, then singles...I was like :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:


That being said I'm checking in w/ CP, Ab Jam, and 30 min of pilates.

gottaluvboyz

Sara...so proud of you! I cannot wait for you to get your site up and running (and of course check it out ). I can only imagine what class was like on Friday...how insane!!!! To top it off...Z is ready for preschool...holy cow...where did the time go? Where are you sending him?

Megan...great job on today's workout! Lyn...you can do it!!!!!!

Lyn_Matthews

Alright AlRIGHT I got it done! :drinker: :laugh: :noway: And yes I feel so much better about my day now!

I did CP2 (thanks to my son who picked out my workout today :flowerforyou: ) and Ab Jam. I was tempted to do 20 min but I remembered I have some errands I need to run, so it's off to the shower I go.

Favorite combo....I think it's in CP3...the upper cuts double knee single knee crosses, run your butt off...I think that's how it goes. Like Kelly I also have a "couldn't but now can" favorite, it's in CP2. The two steps side kick to the front, speed bag, knee, side kick, knee side kick one...forever I had to just do knees cuz I could not get the balance to do the kick and not fall over. But now I love that section cuz I know I've come so far!

I hope Deedun, Dragonfly (aka Janet), msplatts, Beeks, and Shapely join us again this week. If there were any names I missed (cuz I'm only human) we want to see you back as well!

Have a Turborific day :laugh:

micheleg7

I loved reading about everyone's favorite combos today, and I'm gonna second them all and say that my favorite is the one previously mentioned in 20 minute Jam.

Sara WOOHOOO's on your Masters Class. It sounded like it was alot of fun. And I can't wait till you get your website up and going too. You'll be a wonderful instructor in a year. What a great thing to look forward to.

I did 20 minutes of Spinning and 20 min. of The Firm this morning. Will be Jamming tomorrow. By the way, I took a sneak peak at the scale this morning, down 5 lbs. Gotta love it.

Hugs to all today

Kelly - I love the "mama's gonna knock you out" combo, too! Is it wrong if I sing along? :laugh: Also, those stupid stupid make me dizzy punches in PK&J took me forever to get, too. Craziness! And thank you. I'm hoping to get my stuff ASAP so I can get a move on this stuff!

Lyn - WTG on moving your booty! I need to get CP2 & CP3. You speak so highly of them, I feel like I'm missing out on a party! You're so silly with your "turborific day" :laugh:

Michele - YAY for being down 5#! That is awesome!! My class was a lot of fun even though I could barely move all weekend. :laugh:

I just got done with CP & AbJam. Started TS & decided that I don't need to push that hard today. I'm finally feeling like a human so I'm going to leave it at that. 590 cals is pretty dang good anyways!

Okay...3babybeans,
I have been losing this weight just counting calories and occassionally jumping on the trampoline at naptime. I just got Turbo Jam's 20 min workout. I am tingling all over, so sweating, and I only got 10 min. into it! I'm such a wimp:laugh:

Well...is it wrong that I sing AND think of LL Cool J's body drooling:blushing:

Dragonfly11

HJey Everybody,
My internet is down so I'm checking in from work!! Checking in w/ CP2 and FB for yesterday and oly got in 20min this am but I am on for another 20 min or FB + Ab JAm when I get home. When I sprang forward I could have sprang into a nap!! It was tough getting out of the bed this morning .....or was it just Monday:laugh:

I love punch /twist combo, back kick pull down clap in 20 min, I am starting to love the clock work segment in CP2 (finally getting it!! Woo Hoo , felt like such a clutz) and quick punches(to the right or left) and shake it back .... gosh there are just so many...

Gottaluv - just so wrong for LL Cool J!! what a hottie!! oh, and I am singing there too!
Glad we're all here for another great week!!
Will try to check in before I leave - my net is down til Wednesday

Smooches,
Janet

Hey everyone!! I have been so busy during the week I couldnt log on as much as I would like to!

I am feeling really guilty though as I had a mental weekend and I weighed myself this morning and I had PUT ON 2lbs... :noway: Just from the weekend!! Its madness!! My official weigh in day is Thurs so I am not gonna count it :laugh:

So I went to the gym in work and burned 400 cals on my break and will do the same tomorrow and then straight home for a TJ workout!

My fav combo has to be the "momma's gonna knock you out" !! And once I am really getting into to it, if the camera moves towards Janelle, I up the intensity without thinking! It's a great motivation technique!! I love when the "bump n grind" music comes on, but my knees put up a bit of a protest :laugh:

I am delighted Sara that you are going for the beachbody course! You have to send us the link when your site is up and running!!

I am dying to get my hands on CP2 & 3 but i cant get it on ebay, and amazon wont let me buy from the america website :grumble:

How is everyone else doing today?!

gottaluvboyz

Okay...3babybeans,
I have been losing this weight just counting calories and occassionally jumping on the trampoline at naptime. I just got Turbo Jam's 20 min workout. I am tingling all over, so sweating, and I only got 10 min. into it! I'm such a wimp:laugh:

Isn't it awesome, though?! I was the same way after my first 20 min workout (and thinking how in the world am I ever going to last through 40 minutes of Cardio Party). It's a journey and you are doing great:flowerforyou:

gottaluvboyz

Dragonfly...that stinks about the internet. WTG on those workouts!!! Glad I'm not the only one to appreciate a little LL Cool J:laugh:

Deedun...don't beat yourself up over the weekend. I think most of us have been there...done that:grumble: Great job getting back on track w/ the workouts!

Have a great night everyone!!!

3babybeans

Janet - I feel lost when I don't have my computer or my internet at home. I nearly lost my mind when the computer had to be sent out to get fixed! Ack! Good luck surviving. :laugh:

Deedun - Well, I sent you a PM. :bigsmile: Those 2# I'm sure are just sodium pounds & will disappear quickly!

Kelly - :laugh: My friend (Carrie) that introduced me to TJ has a thing for LLCoolJ, too. HA! Don't drool too much, that'll just add to the dehydration.

Busy day here ladies. Another one of those "run around like crazy" days...and to top it off, it is raining. yay. I hope to get in PK&J & either yoga or TS today. We'll see what happens. I don't hold my breath on Tuesdays.

micheleg7

gottaluv LOL about LL CoolJay. I do the same thing, drool that is.

Sounds like we all love "momma's gonna knock you out". That's definitely my favorite.

Well it's official. Down 5 lbs this week. WOOHOOOO's to me. I love that first week WI. Now on to week #2. It's gonna be a good one too.

I did Lower Body Jam this morning. WHEW my legs are shaking.

Hugs to all
michele

gottaluvboyz

Michele...WTG on the 5 pound loss! Keep up the good work:flowerforyou:

Dragonfly11

Hey Everybody,
Checking in today w/ Turbo Sculpt! I really miss the cardio but I know I have to do the strength training to up the metabolism and aid in the toning - I di manage to do CPand Ab Jam after work last night and it wore me out!! Will do Ab Jam and something else later today.

Michele- great job on your week 1 loss!!! that 1st week loss is always such a lift!! keep up like you're going and week 2 will definitley be just as good:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: maybe my "somehting else will be lower body jam (that area definitly is under construction:laugh: !

Sarah- if I didn't have the net at work i'd be nuts for sure:noway: !! I know your weigh in this week is going to be ridiculous with all of the work outs you've gotten in!! good for you!! Try to at least take one breath today, okay?

Gottaluv- You're ticker just keeps on moving , i'm so proud of you!! keep up thededication to your work outs...... and don't get to "dehydrated" ,, hahahaha!

Hey,where's Drevansmom and Megan??????

Take care you all and I'll try to check in before I leave!

Toodles

Lyn_Matthews

I don't know if it was the afternoon coffee yesterday or the time change but I was up late and then of course I got up late. Can't sleep in tomorrow...additional child will be here at 7:20!! AND we have a playdate at 10 so I'm really gonna have to get up and get going or I wont get my workout in!

It's almost time to put my son on the bus and then I'm gonna work out. I'm feeling CP3 today..."all you dance fans let me hear you clap your hands..." LOVE IT!!! (in the voice of Weezy from DragonTales...sorry mommy reference :laugh: )

Michele-Congrats on your weight loss. 5 lbs is so great for your first week. Be proud of your accomplishment!

Sara-I hope you survive your busy day!

Janet-great job getting your toning in. I'm so stuck on cardio, a lot of time I forget to get the toning in.

Kelly-you are half way to your goal! How great does that feel??

I'm so proud of all of you!
I'm sure I'll be back later....anyone a fan of Biggest Loser? I love Tuesdays!

Hi Everyone!

Michele, didn't get a chance to congratulate you yet on the 5#...WTG!!!:drinker:
Deedun...you too!! Congrats on your "ticker move"! :drinker:

Janet, bummer about your computer...glad you can join us from work though!

Good job on everyone's work outs! I'm still sore from yesterday, apparently all this cardio is working because I was able to jog yesterday for a full 30 mins before switching to walking. Actually I could have kept going but my knees were killing me :grumble:

No workout today, I've got a tummy bug that's been going around the family :sick: Dragging myself from the couch to the computer is about all I'm up for :laugh:

Have a great evening everyone!

gottaluvboyz

Dragonfly...WTG on those workouts!!! I have to keep reminding myself about the strength training as well. I'm really liking TS, though Keep up the awesome work!

Lyn...Oh, you had me cracking up w/ the Weezy comment :laugh: :laugh: Enjoy your workout today! I cannot stay away from my afternoon coffee so I hear you on staying up late I'm pretty excited about being at the halfway point. I *may* go for another 5 pounds once I hit it, but plan on seeing how I feel first.

Checking in w/ TS and about 10 min of 20 min workout. The little guy is teething BAD and didn't nap long at all:sad: :sad:

Have a great day all!!!

Thanks Megan :happy: i am delighted!!

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well!! Hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou:

I think nearly everyone hear has a knee complaint! i know I have!!

Well I got in 45mins in the gym in work and just finished the 20min workout.. so far I have burned 560cals today.. not too bad! Hopefully it will knock off those dodgy 2lbs that I put on over the weekend :laugh:

Lyn_Matthews

Deedun you are doing great! I'm glad that you are able to hit the gym at work. Are you liking your new HRM? Isn't it great to see how much you are working off, instead of just how much you are taking in!

Megan sorry you aren't feeling well. I hope you are 100% by tomorrow. Great job on your jog!

Kelly-sorry to hear the little man is teething....Adi just cut her 2 top teeth and seemed to do it with no probs...but the 3 she has on the bottom were a PAIN for me and her!!!

Janet I feel for you on your computer woes. Our modem I think is dying and sometimes I can get on and some times I can't and I'm about ready to drop kick it out the window :mad:

I have to revoke my favorite combo comment....I've decided that I love all the combos on CP3...the last one before the cool down isn't my favorite yet cuz it's so fast and gets my HRM screaming at me but I love the way that whole workout makes me feel. I think a lot of it has to do with the fun music but again that's next weeks discussion.

Going to walk to the school to get my son.
Have a great day!
