Hi Ladies ~ No workout today, I guess I will count this as my "REST" day . . . but I am planning on making up for it tomorrow
Athletic Training is on the schedule so I may do a longer pre-mix + something else.
Laurel: Great work with BB Shoulders and then the added KB workouts I bet felt absolutely perfect . . . in a tired/worked hard way!
Sounds like we are all in for that rotation together - looking forward to it I am glad you have some different weather that will put you in the holiday spirit and hopefully your shopping time was lots of fun! Thank you for the well wishes on my 1 Year here at my job. So proud to tell people and always proud to say where I work, it's a great feeling. As I told my mom and sister yesterday it's amazing I haven't had any tears, bad days or depression over my job since being here.
Laurie: That is so thoughtful of your DH. I just love that he did that for you; no wonder you got teary eyed. I would have as well. Great job getting in Cardio Pump this a.m. Thanks to you as well ~ yes it did feel good and I think because we are a smaller company than what I came from they actually take the time to recognize the little things and we all appreciate one another. I won't be doing the "on demand" so I will order from that link you sent; sounds like we will both be placing that Merry Christmas to me order of both
Thelma: I saw that you did Party Rockin Step 2 . . . good on ya! That is still one that I haven't done due to a) so many other workouts and b) not feeling like the choreography challenged me would be up for it.
But great work and way to just keep moving through it! I seriously cannot believe it has been a year either here at work. It has gone so fast and as I mentioned to Laurel, without all those other "stresses" that I felt before it really flies by. Party should be fun tonight; of course I was here last year and then many years previous as a guest with my DH but it will be nice to not be brand new or the guest and enjoy the time.
Hope you ladies have a great weekend ~ I am playing in a Holly Jolly Volleyball tourn on Sunday so that should be fun! Talk to you on Monday

Hi Ladies, I hpe you had a nice weekend! RWH Back, Biceps & Shoulders on Friday. I didn't feel like working out on Friday and had decided to take the day off and ended up talking myself into exercising even if using lite weights. I ended up doing the entire workout and lifted heavier! LOL. I had DOMS the next day so I know I definitely lifted heavier on Friday. I took Saturday off and on Sunday I did my usual spinning. I ordered Body Beast and I can't wait to give it a try.
Laurel, great workouts! I hope you had luck Christmas shopping at the mall! I did pretty good with the choreography on Party Rocking Step 2. I totally shocked myself! LOL. The last segment was hard because of the jumping on/off the step. I'm scared of jumping onto the step. Thanks for agreeing to design an ICE/BB rotation for us!!
Laurie, how sweet of yr DH to buy you a gift for being such a great mom!!! Great job on the 30MTF Cardio Pump!! I hope your knee is feeling better. Massage your thighs and pay special attention to your IT bands.
I was pretty sure you had BB! I'm going to wait on ordering the Hammer & Chisel program until I can see some videos clips on it. I hope you were allowed to wash your curls by now! LOL
Tami, great workouts this weekend! I hope you had a great time a the Xmas party! Can you believe I actually did Party Rockin Step 2? I hadn't done that workout in a long time.
Good night ladies!

Hi Ladies! I had a successful shopping trip so now all my Christmas shopping is done! I promised myself I wouldn't bake this year, but I decided to make my mom some of her favorite Christmas cookies--white chocolate, macadamia, and cranberry cookies--to send with her gift. Of course a couple of those managed to accidentally fall into my mouth yesterday!
Saturday was my day off from workouts, but right back at it yesterday with Body Beast Bulk Legs. I followed it with RWH Upper Body Circuit and Core 1. Today was Bulk Chest, and I was finally able to go up in weight in one category! This workout will never be easy for me, that's for sure. For cardio, I started with RWH Plyo HiiT Two and then went into Tapout XT Muay Thai. I wasn't sure I was going to like this workout because the early segments seemed a little slow/easy. But the workout really builds nicely, and I ended up enjoying it very much. Love the straight forward punching/kicking in this one. I could definitely feel it in my core and hip flexors. So good stuff! Still very haphazard in production, but nonetheless effective.
Laurie, how sweet of DH to give you that ornament......especially after the win last week! Amazing. Glad you like the perm, but I hear you on conditioner. The worst thing about perms is how they dry your hair. Sorry to hear about the knee. I bet the cold is doing it no good. You are right about the Cardio XT workout being at a different set. There are definitely some fit people in this exercise series. There is one girl in Muay Thai (wearing one of those skimpy outfits!) who is super cut! Must be a bodybuilder is all I could think. I am anxious to try more of them, especially the core workouts.
Thelma, great job with the workout on Friday! I bet the DOMS felt good. Congratulations on your Body Beast purchase! Hope you like it.
Tami, hope the volleyball tournament went well. Sounds like fun. A year in a job without a bad day is amazing!! You so deserve it after what happened in your last job.
See you tomorrow.

Afternoon Ladies,
I had my final appointment with dd this morning, but it was for a mani/pedi. I like that type of pampering. On Friday I did Push-Pull and XTrain Burn Sets Shoulders, and then DH and I did some shopping. On Saturday I did Supercuts, but I was suppose to do Cardio Supersets. Oh well I guess one can get things confused on a Saturday morning. I followed that up with XTrain Triceps. This morning was 30MTF Kickboxing Workout 1.
Tami, I'm sure that you had a great weekend of workouts, and of course your volleyball. I'm going to have to wait until Christmas to open my BB & H&C workouts. Autumn posted on her facebook page that there are three rotations. 60 Day and two 30 day. The 60 Day has you doing a workout from each instructor every other day, and the 30 days are Sagi and Autumn separate. Some people have posted on videofitness.com that the Sagi workouts are really good. I'm getting excited for all the workouts that I will be getting.
Thelma, Good job on getting in that workout when you really didn't feel like doing it. WTG on upping the weights also. Congrats on ordering Body Beast! Something else to look forward to along with Cathe's program. Good job convincing Laurel to create a BB/ICE rotation, sounds like it will be fun. Unfortunately they only have descriptions of the workouts. Some people on the site I mentioned above have posted better descriptions of the workouts that what BB posts. My knees is feeling a lot better, we did have warmer weather this weekend though.
Laurel, Glad that you had success on you shopping expedition! Great job on the workout. I really enjoyed the Mauy Thai workout, and felt it in the same places. I know what lady you are speaking of, she is very ripped. If I was that way, I probably would be in one of those outfits also. Not in public, mind you, but I would have one just because I could. I still have to get used to these curls, almost makes me want to get a shorter hair cut and then let it grow out.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies and Happy Monday!!! The Christmas Party was very nice and lots of fun, the food was also excellent and just good people along with a lot of laughs, as it should be. Saturday's workout was Athletic Training (from my missed Friday) and this is one that I always enjoy so much. Yesterday was our Holly Jolly Volleyball tourn. and we played 14 games!!! Undefeated and won the tourney. It was a lot of fun. I was smart to pack snacks and a protein shake. We played from 9 a.m. until around 1:30. I have to say once again how thankful I am that I workout like I do. They had prizes, our team won for the best "team name" Santa's Little Spikers was our name. LOL So they gave us darling Christmas mugs. It was a lot of games, but a fun day. As soon as I got home and had a shower my BFF came over to just catch up and visit; DH was gone for the weekend so we hung out for a couple hours and then went to dinner. That was my whole day ... fun, but went by so fast. So today I am doing my STS workout when I get home from work, not BootCamp for me tonight . . . which is fine (again) DH is still gone fishing with clients so I have the house to myself.
OH . . . Prior to my a.m. games beginning I was feeding the dogs and Bernie just happened to smack his head into my cheek bone as I was bent down in the food bin, well I have a nice little "shiner" from it. My nose actually started bleeding as well. He really smacked me hard (obviously) so today it is looking a lovely shade of purpleish-blue. My volleyball team started calling me "Tina" (aka Tina Turner) yesterday. It was hilarious, I didn't realize how bad it was until later in the a.m. when I checked it out in the mirror. YIKES.
Laurel: Congrats on the shopping success and completing your Christmas shopping!! That is so great and I am sure it feels wonderful. Very nice of you to do your mom's favorite cookies, I am sure she will love them. Good on ya for sampling a couple yourself. Hopefully you saved a few to enjoy with your DH. I am very happy to report that I ordered up Body Beast as well over the weekend AND H&C!!!!!!! So yes, Happy Christmas buying to me. You have completely sold me on how wonderful BB is, so I can't wait and I am sure I will love it as well, along with H&C too. ICE should be shipping out soon to I think. Excited for 2016 Workouts forsure!! LOL
Thelma: Great job getting in your workout on Friday despite thinking it was going to be a REST day!! I bet it did feel good and obviously from the DOM's you worked hard. Congrats on your purchase of BB! I was on my Ipad the other night and knew I was going to go for it anyway, so I just did. I told DH I can wrap them up under the tree for Christmas. He just laughed.
Hi Laurie
Hope you all are having a great day ~ talk to you tomorrow!

Hi Ladies, XT Burn Sets Chest, Back, Shoulders tonight. I actually lifted a little heavier this time but not heavy enough to achieve fatigue given my "delicate" shoulders. I also managed to get a couple of quickie walks on the treadmill at work.
I was on the Total Fitness DVD website tonight checking their new DVD's and found that KCM has two new ones and they look good.

https://www.totalfitnessdvds.com/30-Minutes-To-Fitness-Athletic-Conditioning-Volume-p/30minathletic2.htm
Laurel, congrats on the successful shopping spree! So sweet of you to bake those wonderful cookies for your mom! I LOVE those cookies! Those and peanut butter are my favorite cookies. Awesome workouts too!
I can't wait to get the BB DVD's. I know I will like it. I'll just have to go at it very carefully and lite in the beginning.
Laurie, I'm glad your knee is feeling better. Great job getting those workouts in! WTG! What do you mean you had your final appointment with your dd? You won't need to be her model anymore?
I am excited about the new workout programs. Can't wait will we do a rotation together next year! I need to see the video clips before I purchase to see if it's something I can handle.
Tami, congrats on winning the tournament! You girls rock! So glad you had fun at the Xmas party and a little girl time with your BFF! Awesome workouts too! Great job!
OMG Bernie got you good! I can just imagine the looks you get when you tell people the dog gave you the shiner on your face! HAHAHA! Funny that your teammates started calling you "Tina". I can't believe your husband went fishing! Isn't it cold there?
I couldn't resist any longer and had to get BB! I'm sure you felt that way too! I was happy about the DOMS let me tell you. It's not easy for me to get DOMS since I can't lift to heavy or my shoulders go.
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
I didn't workout after I got home yesterday, had a horrible sinus headache. So this morning I did the workout that I should have done last night RWH Plyo HiiT 2.
Today is our company wide Christmas Party, so not a good day of eating for me.
Tami, Guess we posted around the same time yesterday. Having those morning appointments really affects my posting.
Congrats on the volleyball victory! That is so great, and a lot of games. I really know what you are going through with the dog hitting your head. I had that happen to me also. Cami gave me a black eye, she hit my glasses and bent them. The nose piece hit the lower part of my eye. Everyone said that my DH hit me. I'm kind of happy that Rocket has a smaller head than Cami for that reason. So all of us will have BB and ICE, how fun will that be to do a rotation together.
Thelma, Great job on upping the weights in your workouts! I was looking at those two workouts, and they do look good. Just an FYI, the young man in the DVD is Kelly's son, and the young lady is her niece. Apparently she has people all lined up for all her other tests. I have to say that it will be nice not to have to get my hair highlighted.
My sister volunteered for that one. When her summer session start she will be in salon services, so it I want her to do anything with my hair I have to pay for it. I will probably have her wax my eyebrows and get another pedicure. Even though that was not her favorite thing to do, she doesn't like touching feet. She said that nails and pedicures are not what she will be doing in her future. I would like to come in to try her make-up portion though. Might learn something.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! I was feeling that Muay Thai workout this morning. Both my hips and my rear delta were sore. That surprised me! But in a good way. Anyhow, neither affected my workout today. I started with Bulk Arms and was able to up the weight a bit. For cardio, I felt like a Cathe backside-kicking , so I did IMAX3. Felt fantastic.
I previewed three more Tapout workouts, and I think two of them may not get done by me. They are the two longer 'core' workouts (Cross Core Combat and Competition Core). Alot of plank work with side to side action and such. I recognize some of the moves from P90X2 and Asylum, and didn't like the moves in either program. The combination of the stress on my shoulders and my natural dislike of doing most of the workout on the floor has me thinking I may give them a pass without even attempting them. I was really hoping they would be more like Muay Thai which seemed to work my core so well. But Buns and Guns looks like something I may try!
Laurie, hope your headache is doing better. Great job with that Plyo HiiT workout. Definitely not my favorite in that set, but it is effective. Maybe a good trim, to your hair would make it more manageable. I completely understand where you are coming from with that because my hair drives me crazy when I let the curl take over. I have to do something with it, or I will pull it out! Not good. Hope you enjoy the Christmas Party!
Tami, congratulations on the volleyball tournament! Sounds like a lot of fun. I can't believe your pup gave you a black eye! Hope it is healing up. Congratulations on your BB and H&C purchases! I am so anxious to hear more about H&C. I wIll be ordering it soon!!
Thelma, great job with the workout! Those XT workouts will be great build-ups for Body Beast!
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! Last night I went home and did my STS Chest/Back workout, this week is the Meso 3 workouts so heavy and long rest periods. But felt good and I did go heavy. This a.m. was STS Plyo Legs and tonight I am headed to Katy's Insane X class.
Laurel: Another awesome day in your workout room! Way to go Sounds like the Tapout workouts are agreeing nicely with you, minus the two core workouts but the ones you have done so far sound really good! I can't believe my black eye either . . . my jaw is actually sore as well. I think I clenched really tight when he hit or the jerk reaction, either way it's pretty funny that a dogs head can do that. LOL He of course is just fine.
Laurie: Great job getting in your missed workout this a.m. Hopefully that means your sinus headache is doing better. Crazy what the dogs head can do . . . I am glad you can relate and I can just picture your moment as well. OUCH. I hope your Company Christmas party is a good one today .... enjoy!
Thelma: Awesome work getting in that XT workout! Glad to hear your shoulder(s) handled a little bit more weight this time. They must be feeling pretty good for you. It was pretty funny they were calling me Tina, I know. They are fun ladies and all have a good sense of humor. It has actually warmed up a little bit and we have had down pouring rain for 2 days; it seems to have stopped for a little while but if it would have been cold this would have all been snow! So 40's has been the temp and he goes every now and again this time of year; south of us on a river a couple hours a way. He had to cxl yesterday and today though --- too windy, so he is heading home as I type this. Even these "warmer" conditions would not be fun to me though.
Thank you for posting the new KCM workouts! Those do look good.
Hope you ladies have a great evening! Until tomorrow . . . Tami0 -
Hi Ladies, XT Burn Sets Chest, Back, Shoulders tonight. I never do upper body back-to-back but the leg workout scheduled for tonight was too long for the time I had. I definitely hit failure tonight and my arms are feeling pumped. I worked from home today so I was able to get some quick rides on the spinning bike this morning.
Laurie, sorry about your sinus headache. Great job for getting up early to do last night's workout! Have fun at the Xmas party!
I had no idea the young man on KCM's video was her son and the young lady her niece! How cool! I could tell the young man wasn't a pro by the way he kept looking at Kelly to see how she was doing things. I didn't realize your DD had to line people to volunteer for a test beauty treatment! You're volunteering for an eyebrow wax? I thought the perm was brave but this tops that! LOL
Laurel, congrats on upping your weights! That Muay Thai workout must've been a tough one if you were feeling it the following day! Awesome workouts! Skipping those Tapout ab workouts sounds like a very wise decision to protect your shoulders.
Tami, congrats on going heavier! Great job!
I am very happy about the fact that I've been able to lift a little heavier. It's warm there! Now I see why your DH went fishing. It's been warm here too. I have yet to use a heavy coat. Glad you like the KCM workouts!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Yesterday I did 21DFX Upper Extreme, felt like getting in some Autumn workouts before I open the Hammer and Chisel package. This morning was X10 Cardio Blast! That one is still makes me drip with sweat. My headache has left so far, but then we are going into warmer weather. The Christmas party was really good, and the food was actually pretty tasty and healthy.
Laurel, Great job on the workouts. I have done the Cross Core Combat workout, and it was very plank heavy. I had to modify on some of the moves. My body couldn't move as fast as all them young ones either. I think that you will really enjoy the Buns and Guns. You don't think that your lower body is getting worked, but the next day I was feeling the workout. I loved that he incorporated lower body and punching. That HiiT workout isn't my favorite either, in fact I usually avoid it when possible and sub in a different one. But I committed myself to stick to the rotation as is, so it will be interesting when I get to the last week and I'm doing the Body Blast Timesaver workouts. That incorporates some of the SJP workout, and that one is not a fav. of mine. I will have to see what my stylist says about my hair when I go to see her next week. She might have some ideas on a cut that is easy to wash and go.
Tami, Nice job on the heavy weight! Those rest periods are when I start to notice the dust in my workout space. Hope that Kati gave you a really good and insane class. Hope that you eye starts feeling a whole lot better, the shiner starts getting uglier before it actually leaves. I always love seeing the many colors a bruise can turn.
Thelma, Wonderful job on the workout. Glad to hear that you where able to do upper body back to back. DD has to fill all the practice and test appointments. Some of the girls in the class will take some of the appointments, but not all of them. The girls usually practice on the manikin head before they use a live model. She was working on highlights yesterday on her head. The color on the head really looked good. I think that my sister will have some really pretty highlights when she goes. LOL about the eyebrows, I get them waxed right now, so it should be to much of a problem.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! I started today's workout with Bulk Back. I still felt a bit of tightness from my workouts this week, so, for cardio, I did an interesting combo--that ended up being a fantastic combo! I started with X37, which loosened up the legs and shoulders very nicely, then I did Tapout XT Legs and Back. I really liked this workout! It was much more cardio intense than I anticipated, but I enjoyed that. There isn't much back work, but I had read that on-line already, which is why I didn't mind combining it with the Body Beast workout. But I was definitely sweating and had that 'accomplished' feeling at the end. Good stuff.
Laurie, great workout! I have been reading some reviews of Hammer and Chisel but I haven't seen anything about Autumn's parts yet. Anxious to learn more about her section. Thanks for the information on Cross Core Combat. Who knows.....maybe I will give it a try in the end. I wouldn't have expected to like today's workout either, so maybe I will like it. I noticed Cathe's December rotation included her Timesaver workouts! I love the Body Blast series but, for whatever reason, I never meshed with the Timesaver workouts. Let us know what you think when you do them. Maybe I should give them another try some day.
Thelma, great workout! Glad to hear you were able to do those two workouts back-to-back! You really are making fantastic improvements.
Tami, I love those Meso 3 workouts. I laughed when Laurie said those long breaks give her time to see the dust in her workout room. I always manage to wander off and fold laundry and such during them. I don't think that is what Cathe intended but.....oh well. The Tapout workouts are good. I am not sure how I would categorize this series because the resistance work (band only) isn't front and center, yet this isn't a standard cardio series (like Insanity). It seems most workouts are total body focused (including the heart) using some resistance bands in some and some MMA moves in others. One of the things that kept me from doing these workouts for so long is that they aren't 'standard' and, therefore, kind of difficult to blend with my other standard workouts. I think I would get tired of these if I did a full rotation, though. But if I ever did a full rotation, I think my core would end up being as strong as it has ever been. So lots of pluses......and some minuses....with this one.
See you all tomorrow.

Hi Ladies ~ May I just say "HOLY LUNGES" last night in Insane X. She had us put hand weights on our shoulders and lunge across the gym, then 20 burpees, lunge back, 20 push ups, lunge back, 20 mtn climbers, lunge back, 20 etc.... you guys get the picture. then at the very end we ran sprints and lines to end the class. My legs were on Fi-Ya at about that point! Good class This a.m. was STS Shoulders/Bi's/Tri's and tonight I will head to Spinning.
Laurel: I still laugh about Meso 3 and you going and changing out your laundry or folding laundry. LOL I will sometimes go fill up my water bottle or make a note of something I need to do that day. Again, not what it is intended for, but my muscles are getting a break in that time slot. Great workout again today! Sounds like that was a perfect combination. Tapout definitely sounds interesting and I always enjoy total body focused workouts that work my core.
Laurie: Great job getting in Upper Body Xtreme Fix! I have to admit those xtreme workouts are still absolutely on my radar! I've previewed and read and they sound like a great compliment as well to H&C and/or BB.
Definitely having the dark purple phase right now with my eye ... of course the spreading as well. My peeps at class last night were shocked! Then laughing of course when they heard the story. One guy said, I was positive a person didn't do this to her, who would want to mess with those muscles! It was pretty funny. It actually took DH a few minutes to notice when I got home last night. He had just returned from his fishing trip and wasn't really paying attention. Once I washed my face and had no makeup on he was shocked! Compared me to the Target dog on TV. LOL It's actually still tender but I know this is just the process ....
Thelma: Awesome work getting in Burn Sets. I know what you mean on sometimes having a "back-to-back" body part on certain days due to time. I will sometimes switch around something in my rotation if I have done say a lot of leg work the night before with Katy or whatever the situation is. Time is definitely a factor as well sometimes. Thanks on the heavier weights ... felt good, especially since I haven't been lifting that heavy in a while with all my other workouts.
I do have some exciting news . . . DH scheduled me a plane ticket to go see my mom and sister on December 30th - Jan 5th! He checked with my "supervisors" first (kind of handy working in the same office I guess) and they of course are thrilled for me. I have 4 days they wanted me to use up so now I will be able to accomplish that in a fun way and can't wait to see them all! Get some sunshine too. My mom has a swimming pool and gym at her condos! PERFECT She has been trying to entice me to come with mentioning those addnl things on top of the sunshine and shopping + just wanting to see them
I will talk to you ladies tomorrow - Tami0 -
Hi Ladies, spinning for me tonight. I had legs scheduled but had a 2 hour meeting at the end of the day and got home at 6:45pm. I had talked myself out of working out but I convinced myself to do something so spinning was the easiest thing to do. We got performance reviews today. We get rated on a scale of 1-5. 5 being the best and you have to walk on water to get that. My boss told me: "you got a 4" and then added "there was just one 4 given in our team". It took me a few seconds to realize I'd gotten it! That felt good! I understand it's pretty hard to get above a 3 which is meets expectations. I got a partially exceeds. The rating decision is not just up to my boss. It's done round table style where the managers in the department get together to rate each employee so I can't believe all those managers agreed to rate me that high.
Laurie, great workouts! Glad your headache is gone. I can't believe the warm temps we're having! I think we're going to be in the mid 60's early next week! A weather guy said this morning on the radio that lilacs may start budding out as a result. I think that happened last year too. The little crocuses were all confused!
So the girls practice on each other! That is great! I think I would be brave with my hair but not sure about eyebrows. Can't wait to hear how your sister's highlights come out. When is her turn?
Funny about seeing the dust in your workout area during the rest period on that STS workout! I paused a workout one day to clean up my floor because I saw the dust! My floor is black so everything shows. Add to that that our house was built in 1904 AND I workout in the basement! Lots of dust!
Laurel, that was a killer workout combo! You crack me up. Every time you're feeling tired you come with the toughest combos. LOL
Thanks so much on my progress. I wish I could lift as heavy as you ladies do so I can develop well toned arms but who knows if that's ever going to happen.
Tami, you've been o FI-YA with those burns! Great job! I was going to ask you a question tonight but you actually answered it in your post. I was going to ask what your husband's reaction to your new eye make up was! He's too funny! What did he say? Who hit you? How sweet of your husband to surprise you with that trip so you can visit your mom and sister! So sweet and thoughtful!
Good night ladies!

Hi Ladies! Early and quick check on for me today. I am headed out the door to catch up with a friend from Colorado who is in town for the day. Looking forward to that! But I got in a good workout this morning, bright and early. I started with Bulk Shoulders, followed by Beast Abs. For cardio, I did Cathe Greatest Hits workout.
Tami, sounds like a killer workout! Yowza!! I guess Katy is trying to make sure you all get through the holiday season as fit as ever! Your description of your eye as 'imagine the Target dog' had me giggling. Bernie really got you, didn't he? Yay on going to California!! How nice of your DH to plan that for you. I will be anxious to hear your impressions of your mom's new home. And that sunshine will feel fantastic, no doubt.
Thelma, good job getting spinning in yesterday. I hope it made you feel a little better after a long day. But great news on your evaluation! That is quite an accomplishment. Glad to hear we aren't the only ones expecting unusually warm temps coming up. They are predicting 80's for all next week, with some highs close to 90. I am still trying to make the transition from summer to winter clothes, which in Florida means going from sleeveless shirts to short sleeves and shorts to capris. But I think I may never quite get there this year. So weird. DH and I are headed to NYC for a few days before Christmas, and I think we might freeze to death if temps are anywhere near 'normal'!
Laurie, hope you are doing well.
See you tomorrow!

Morning Ladies,
No workout for me yesterday, DH surprised me with an offer to go to a fancy steakhouse in Milwaukee. I had the sea bass, dang was that really good. The place is way to expensive to go to on a regular basis, but it was nice to be out and dressed up. This morning I did 21DFX Lower Body Extreme, will probably do Cardio Supersets when I get home, since I screwed up last week and did Supercuts which is the scheduled workout today.
Laurel, Now that is one Tapout workout that didn't have a chance to try. Your combo sounds really great. I have also noticed that the only reviews have been on the Sagi workouts. If Autumns workouts are like the 21DFX they will be good, I really do got a good workout in the 30 min. You do need to go heavy on the weights, and she goes at a slow enough pace that you are able to do that. Just hope that she is keeping it the same pace. I will let you know my thoughts on the Timesaver workouts, believe it or not but I have never tried them. They just might be something I enjoy.
Tami, What a great gift your DH gave you! Oh wow on the lunge fest, that really sounds like a great class though. The 21DF Extreme workouts are good ones. I like that they are short, but get the work done. I have even contemplated getting the 21 Day Fix, just because she does do different exercises on that set. Just like Cathe says the way to make it more intense is to add weight, and I followed her advice today. Upped the weight on the legs, and boy you can really feel those muscles when you do that. Ouch on the eye, just glad that it will heal quick.
Thelma, Congrats to you on your review! We have something similar, but ours is only three levels. Outstanding (hardly anyone gets this), Meets Expectations and of course the "your close to getting fired". I hope those poor flowers don't decide to come up, but I'm sure that since we have had a really hard frost the plants could get confused. My sister got her hair highlighted yesterday, and from the picture I saw the color was really pretty. My sister is blond, so dd did gold highlights. I haven't talked to my sister yet, but from the picture she looked happy. DD also straightened her hair, I don't think that I have ever seen her with straight hair. She has very curly hair.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies ~ Another great Spin class last night with Katy and it was packed full. People who hadn't signed up actually had to get off bikes and let the ones that had signed up attend. She is always happy though when her classes are full. This a.m. was X10 - I did the 40 min. pre-mix, which flew by. No workout tonight; might stop at Target to get a few Toys for Tots gifts for work and a Christmas Party we are going to on Saturday.
Laurel: Great workout this a.m.! You are killing it as always with your workouts lately ... how did you like the BB abs? Yes, I think Katy wants us to burn a ton of calories before the big holiday week. She was actually doing most of the workout (next to me
) on Tues as well. That is super fun your friend from Colorado coordinated with you to meet up. I am sure you had a great time catching up with her.
Laurie: Very nice of your DH to take you out for a fancy dinner. Any special occasion or just because? Great job getting in Lower Body Xtreme today. Hope you get in your Supersets tonight if you have the time. That is exactly what I do in workouts that are shorter and not as intense is try to go up in weight; even in a lot of the RWHiiT workouts I do that as well. Makes for an even better workout!
Thelma: CONGRATS on your review!!!! I am not a bit surprise you had a great one. Sounds like you do a fabulous job for them and I am glad they recognize it. Nicely done getting in some Spinning when you got home. When DH did finally notice he said "wow", you really got smacked. I had told him on the phone that Bernie and I had a small head butt that a.m. but he sort of forgot or didn't even imagine I would look like Petey from the Little Rascals. Last night he was asking me again how it all played out because he couldn't imagine getting a black eye from that; it was his head hitting my cheek bone in just that right spot of course. LOL
Received an e-mail today that my workouts have shipped from TotalFitness!!!
Merry Christmas to me is on it's way.
Hope you ladies have a great afternoon/evening ~ until tomorrow! Tami0 -
Hi Ladies, I didn't workout tonight. On my way home I started to feel really sick and was nauseous. It feels like maybe my throat is acting up. I came home, changed into my pj's and got in bed because I was feeling dizzy. DH brought me dinner to bed. I hope to feel better by tomorrow morning.
I thought that I'd also gotten a 4 on my performance review last year but I got a 5! I can't believe I'd forgotten all about that. I hope I don't go down to a 3 next year! LOL. My Body Beast program has been shipped!
Laurel, awesome combo! I hope you had a great time with your friend! It must be so weird to still be wearing shorts an sleeveless tops at this time of the year. I think you will be cold when you go to NY. I think you will find warm temps in NY but you are used to hot FL now so 50' may feel like 30's to you now! LOL
Laurie, how nice of your husband to take you out to dinner. Glad you had a good time and a tasty meal! Great workouts!
Thanks on the congrats on the review. So your outstanding rating at work is our consistently exceeds. I told DH today when I realized I'd gotten a consistently exceeds last year: OMG! I walked on water last year! LOL
I hope the flowers don't get confused. We will be close to 60 tomorrow. I'm glad your sister is happy with her new highlights! I hope your DD is loving her straight hair. Did she do it with chemicals or a flat iron?
Tami, glad you had a great spinning class! Awesome job with X10!
Thanks for the congrats on my review.
When animals shake their head they do it pretty hard. Same with their tail! I got smacked in the eye by my cat's tail. I didn't get black eye but it hurt. I've gotten hit by lab's tail on my leg and it hurt so I can't imagine the head on a such a sensitive area like the eye.
Good night ladies! Have a great weekend!

Morning Ladies,
Got in the Cardio Supersets workout yesterday, even with the long drive home. This morning I did 21DFX Cardio Fix Extreme.
Laurel, Great job on the workouts, and getting in your favorite cardio! I'm sure that you had a good time with your friend, that is nice that you could meet up.
Tami, Packed spin class before the new year! Sounds like people are getting in their new years resolutions early. Great job on the other workouts you got in also. No special occasion, we ate with a sales rep that DH knows. Congrats on the shipping notice, you will have those workouts before Christmas! I'm sure that I will see a familiar package sitting at our house soon. I usually get home before DH does.
Thelma, Sorry to hear that you might be sick, hopefully that isn't the case. How nice to get pampered by your DH though, I don't think that mine would think of that. Congrats on your BB shipping notice also. It is always fun to get those packages. DD just used the flat iron.

Hi Ladies! Had a great time yesterday with my friend. It was nice to see her. Woke up today feeling a little under-energized, though. DH unintentionally kept me awake all night with his twitching. Boy, he sure can kick and punch hard when he sleeps! Anyhow, after a couple of hours of trying to talk myself into a day off, I opted to talk myself into working out instead. So I started with Bulk Legs. And since I was low energy, I, of course, upped the weights. Yikes. My legs were rubbery at the end. After another 30 minutes of walking the rubber out/trying to figure out if I wanted to continue with my workout, I finally did an excellent cardio combo. I started with Plyo HiiT One and then did Tapout XT Sprawl and Brawl. I really liked this workout. In fact, the more Tapout workouts I do, the more I see the method behind the program. I love the way I feel like I have worked my entire body at the end of these workouts. I still have six more to try, and hope to get those done in the next couple of weeks. One thing about these workouts is they are definitely not for beginners. I understand now why DH did one and said 'ummmm.....no'. I am so glad I have the experience of Cathe, Shaun T. and Tony Horton with me doing this series. And, as always, I feel MUCH better post-workout than I did before.
Tami, sounds like another good Katy class. It is good to hear so many people were there! This time of year, you never know. The Body Beast Abs are good. Not great, but good. They are ten minutes long, and a combo of crunches and planks. They aren't tough, but that's okay since he includes core work to finish all the workouts. I like them as a good add-on when I want something but not a killer something.
Thelma, hope you are feeling better! If not, hope you are home resting and taking care of yourself. It is that time of year, sadly. The weirdest part about this time of year in Florida is when people/businesses decorate for the holiday with snowmen. Doesn't seem right next to a palm tree. And, of course, there is the mental dissonance of hearing 'Winter Wonderland' as you stroll through an outdoor mall in shorts and sandals. It always makes me laugh.
Laurie, you are such an enabler!! Now you have me intrigued by the 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts. Doing these shorter Body Beast workouts has been good for me because I feel like I can go heavier since they are shorter. I like what you said about Autumn's rep speed as well. So......maybe down the road I will look into them. How fun to go out for a nice dinner like that! We have a new chophouse here in Melbourne and DH and I have talked about trying it on Christmas Eve. The prices are such that, like you said, it would be a special occasion place only. But it is nice to have a dress up place closer by without having to go into Orlando or Palm Springs. Thanks again for inspiring me to do these Tapout workouts. I am really enjoying them, and I don't think I expected that.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hi Ladies & Happy Friday! No workout this a.m. but I am going to Spinning tonight after work. Will do a "make up" workout in the a.m. ~ one of the things I love about Saturday's when I have the time . . . longer workout(s)!!
Laurel: I am go glad you had a nice time with your friend. Sounds like eventhough you were under-energized this a.m. you found some amazing energy in the end! Way to work Love when that happens. Tapout is sounding really good, I remember Laurie saying that Sprawl and Brawl workout was a good one forsure; that entire body feeling worked is always a good thing.
Laurie: Great job getting in the Cardio Supersets last night and Cardio Fix Xtreme! THANK YOU so much for posting those workout sheets, I printed them off immediately! I will be keeping myself very busy this winter with all the new workouts; most likely will add her 21 Day Fix Xtreme to the pile in no time. LOL
Thelma: I hope you are feeling better today and it wasn't you getting sick last night ... Fingers crossed for you. Yes, if Bernie had hit me with his tail it would have probably had a similar outcome, he has one of those big thick Labs tails like they do.
Hope you ladies have a nice weekend ~ I will talk to you on Monday!

Hi Ladies, thanks for your get well wishes. By Friday morning I was feeling pretty much back to normal. On Friday night I did XT Legs, on Saturday I did Hard Strikes premix 2 and today spinning. I watched a PiYo infomercial on Saturday for the first time and I learned that there is a modifier and got all excited about the program. I found it on eBay for $23 and asked DH to order it for me. I really need to get some shelves for my DVD's. I have so many of them!
Laurie, great job with Cardio Supersets and 21DFX! Can't wait to try the BB workouts. I am glad your daughter just used a flat iron on her hair and not any chemicals.
Laurel, so glad you had a great time with your friend. Good for you for pushing yourself so hard when you were feeling tired. Another winning combo!
Seeing Santa next to a palm tree is just strange!
Tami, great workouts this weekend! I hope your eye is doing better!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
I did RWH Low Impact HiiT Two on Friday, and that was the last of my workouts for the weekend. I was busy with shopping, and baking cookies. I did a great job of getting my steps in while baking cookies though. Just to bad that a few entered my mouth. No workout this morning, I set my alarm to 5:30 instead of 4:30 so when I got back from walking the dogs and saw that it was 6, I realized what I had done.
Laurel, I love that those BB Leg workouts really make your legs feel like rubber! That is what I really want to feel when I do those workouts. Sprawl and Brawl is a fun one, I really enjoyed that one. Agree with you on a beginner not being able to do those workout, they really focus on the core. I think that you need to have that before you try them out. Sorry to be an enabler, but so many instructors have such good workouts that it is hard not to resist. Funny how only a few years ago there where only a few options that appealed to me.
Tami, Hope you where able to get in your workouts vs. what I did. I hope that you enjoy the Autumn workouts in H&C, I don't mind her at all. Most instructors don't bother me to much. I can say that the only thing she does that bothers me is when she drags a word out. Now why would you stop doing a workout if that is the only thing that bothers you.
Thelma, I think that you will like the PiYo workouts, I have had to do the modified exercise at times because I just couldn't get the advanced. Still got in a good workout.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! We had a busy but fun weekend here. We even managed to get in the golf course yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks. Of course we got there at 3:00pm, with a light rain and had to literally sprint up the 18th hole 2 1/2 hours later to beat the darkness......but it was fun!
Saturday was my usual day off from working out, but yesterday I started my final week in phase 2 of Body Beast with Bulk Chest. As you know, this one is my nemesis, but I did manage to up the weight in one category! For cardio, I did Cardio Core Circuit. Today I started with Bulk Arms and felt very strong, especially in my biceps. For cardio, I did To The Max Extreme premix.
Just a note on this phase of Body Beast......there are a couple of rotation options with the program. I opted for the Lean Beast rotation instead of the Huge Beast rotation. The primary difference between the two is in the Lean Beast rotation, you do the second phase of Bulk workouts for five instead of six weeks. I chose it because I thought I might be bored with the workouts if I did them for six weeks. In other words, it wasn't because I was afraid of bulking up because, well, I'm a girl. And I know that without upping my calories, I am not going to 'bulk'. Well, just for the record, I easily could have done these workouts another week. I am not bored with them at all! And more for the record.......I am 'bulking' a bit!! If I were to have measured my arms/back/chest before doing this program, I would probably find any actually changes in measurement to be insignificant (definitely less than an inch....by far!) But I can feel it with how some of my shirts fit. For the record.......I love it! But I wanted to let you all know about this little surprising side effect. I don't know about my legs and 'bulk' because I haven't had a long pair of pants on in a year. But they don't seem any bigger.
Tami, hope you had a good weekend and got a good workout in on Saturday. Have you decided what is next in terms of rotations? Which program are you going to start with? It looks like ICE will be shipping before next week! That will be what I go to next (I still have four weeks of Body Beast) so I can see how it might blend with Body Beast for a possible group rotation. Still anxious to hear more about Hammer and Chisel.
Thelma, so happy to hear you were feeling better on Friday. Great workouts over the weekend! Hope you enjoy PiYo. It really looks good. I just need to convince myself I would use it before buying it.
Laurie, sounds like a fun weekend of shopping and baking. DH was a little upset I wasn't baking much this year, so I did bake him some cookies yesterday. And, of course, I had to test them!! Wouldn't want to feed him bad cookies. I think I may do one more batch of cookies right before Christmas, but that will be all this year......hopefully! I totally agree with you about the availability of workout programs and how much it has improved over the past few years. It seems that the home fitness market has finally gone from the 'Jane Fonda' workout audience (and I did her workouts!) to more scientific and advanced programs. Nobody seems to laugh at the in-home exerciser anymore, and I like that. I remember about 10 years ago when Cathe actually challenged a newspaper reporter in her area to a fitness test after he mocked at home workout programs. Things have definitely changed for the better.
Until tomorrow!

Hi Ladies ~ Good Weekend for workouts and tried to get in some shopping yesterday. Didn't have much luck on that end. YIKES. But I only need to get one gift for a girl friend and some stocking stuffers for DH. I already bought him some really nice Keen Boots for fishing that he wanted. He doesn't know I bought them, so it will be a good gift! Weekend's workouts were: Sat: Lower Body Tri-Sets + Legs & Glutes Xtreme (in place of Great Glutes), yesterday was STS Meso #1 w/ Chest/Shoulders and Bi's; this a.m. was X10 (X42 Pre-Mix) which is Hi Lo + Fat Burning Circuit. BootCamp for tonight. My BeachBody box was on the doorstep Friday evening when I got home from Spinning though. Always fun! Now just need to figure out what I will dig into next, although I have time still ..... Cathe's should be arriving soon too according to her e-mail this a.m. as well.
Laurel: Great job with the workouts!!!! I am so happy to hear (still) how much you are loving BB and not tired of the program at all. That is so awesome and that you are feeling the strength results. BONUS there. I have not decided yet. It is so exciting to have 3 programs that I can't wait to do; I was thinking about Body Beast + ICE and then go right into Hammer & Chisel from there. I think I have 3 or 4 weeks left on my STS rotation I am doing right now; the 4th weeks is that optional add-on week.
Laurie: Your weekend sounds very nice! Sounds like you are all prepared for Christmas then!?! I actually baked some of DH's favorite cookies; only one batch though and froze the dough for future cookies. He already ate them all. He loves Chocolate Crinkles, his favorite cookie of all time he said. From what I have previewed with Autumn I don't mind her at all. I think she seems like a good instructor. Lots of people have great reviews on her current workouts, so that is good news as well. The on demand video I watched on H&C was great!
Thelma: Congrats on PiYO. I think you will really enjoy those workouts. I have done several of them, but not the entire collection. A few I have gone back to as a shorter "add-on" after a workout here and there, but never the entire rotation. I purchased them to use just for that; add-ons . . . hoping to increase the Pilate/Stretch/Yoga into my routine.
Thanks for the well wishes on my eye, it is looking way better . . . still some black underneath but a thinner strip than before. My jaw is still sore when I chew certain things, but I think it is getting better as well.
Hope you are all having a good Monday ~ until tomorrow!

Hi Ladies, we had a busy weekend. On Saturday we had our monthly get together with my BIL and his wife. That's always an all day affair. On Sunday was my usual getting ready for the week and made a chicken lentil soup which turned out to be very good and sooo filling! You ladies are so good for baking cookies for your husbands! I have no will power so I can't do that.
High Reps for me tonight. My arms were fried after the tricep routine. OUCH! I forgot to tell you yesterday that on Saturday when I was doing Hard Strikes my sweatpants started sliding down my hips. Of course I'm wearing the boxing gloves and can't do anything about it. In my mind I wanted my sweatpants to slide down to my feet because the thought of it was really funny. I decided to pause the workout to tighten my sweatpants up because I was getting distracted. LOL
Did you read Cathe's newsletter? We are going to be getting our ICE programs pretty soon! So exciting! We are going to hit 60 tomorrow! I can't believe the warm temps we're having. I really want some cold temps.
Laurie, sounds like you had a busy weekend! The only year I made cookies I sampled lots of them! Needless to say I don't do it. I did make a Chiquita Banana bread for DH but I had to do a taste test to make sure it was good! LOL
I am looking forward to trying the PiYo workouts even if I can only do the modifier version!
Laurel, glad you were able to get some golfing in! I heard on the radio today that people here in MA are still golfing giving the warm temps we're having.
Congrats on starting the final week in phase 2 of BB and for being able to up the weight! Great workouts!
OMG congrats are in order left and right for you Laurel. So exciting about gaining some bulk! Thanks for explaining the BB rotation options. Does this mean you're still on time to go for for the 6 weeks?
Tami, awesome workouts!!! You go girl!!! I'll be doing some X10 this week instead of the RWH Plyo workouts the rotation calls for this week. One of those plyo workouts is how I hurt my shoulder last time! SCARY!
We definitely need a BB/ICE rotation. I am waiting to see more Hopefully you'll find those last few gifts soon. DH and I don't exchange gifts. He never wants anything. From time-to-time during the year I buy him clothes but not too much because he will say he doesn't need it. Of course I'm a shopaholic. No one shops better for me than yours truly! LOL
I'm glad you also think I will like he PiYo workouts. I'm excited about learning from the modifier. I wonder if you need a TMJ little chiropractic adjustment for your jaw Tami?
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Yesterday I did Tabatacise, and I did three rounds. I was going to do all of them, but there seems to be two premixes missing on the DVD. Where do I find the easiest to the hardest, and the hardest to the easiest. I was going to do the hard to easy, but couldn't find it on the DVD! This morning I did 30MTF Trim Down, that is a good upper body workout. I have a hair appt. tonight, will be deciding on how short I will be going. Hoping to get in a workout when I get home.
Laurel, Great job on the workouts. Thanks for the info on the BB and bulking. That is what happened to me doing P90X, so the important thing for me will be to watch my eating. I don't need the added muscle under the fat. Nice that you where able to get in some golfing inbetween the rain. I still have the cut out cookies to bake, those are my favorites. Hard to resist one of those when it is frosted. I'm glad that we will be getting those ICE workouts before I head up to my parents. It will give me something to peruse while we are up there. I will have to remember to bring my computer.
Tami, Wow on the workouts, you really got in some good ones. I still have to get DH his buffer from Eastwood, but at least I know what he wants for his garage. It can be so difficult to know what to get these men. Glad to hear that you are good with Autumn, sometimes when I read reviews I wonder if the people that don't like Autumn are doing the same workout that I was doing. Her workouts are deceptive, they look easy, but when you are doing them they can be harder than Cathe's. Guess it just depends on the effort you put into the workout. I know what cookies you are talking about, those are really good too. Everyone's rotations seem to have flown by.
Thelma, I don't have that good of will power, there where to many of those cookies entering my mouth.
I will just have to hit those ICE workouts really hard in the new year. LOL about your pants, that had to be very hard to concentrate. I don't blame you for opting to sub those Plyo HiiT workouts, I did those in this rotation, and was glad when I was done.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies! Today started with Bulk Back which felt great. I followed it with X10 Low Impact into Tapout XT Cross Core Combat. This is one if the Tapout workouts I said I might not try......but I did. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't really feel it is a cardio workout, though my heart rate stayed somewhat elevated throughout and at times was up there pretty good. But this is truly a core workout. Lots and lots of rolling around on the floor, but it was good. I can't say I loved it, but I certainly didn't hate it. And I think it could do wonders for the core and core flexibility (the latter being of extreme interest for me in my golf game!). It was definitely a total body workout as well. Happy I did it.
Tami, I read your Saturday workouts, read them again and went . Wow, woman, how could you walk after that!! I would have been curled somewhere in a corner whimpering. Great job! Sorry to hear the shopping wasn't quite as successful as you wanted. DH and I aren't exchanging gifts this year since we are going to NYC, and while I miss shopping for him, he is just so hard to buy for. Glad you found something your DH will enjoy. I think I will be sampling ICE while I finish Body Beast. Can't wait to try the new workouts.
Thelma, on the sweatpants! I think I would find that distracting too! I can't believe you are still that warm. I have been checking the temps for NYC, and they are in the 60s too! It is supposed to cool off for a few days but then right back up there. We are doing the same thing here. We are mid-80s, dropping to upper 60's then right back into the mid-80s again. I hope it cools off for you soon. While we expect it here.....where you are at, not so much. A little hint of Christmas would be nice, right? Regarding Body Beast, I am going to finish phase 2 this week, then take a few days off for our trip and then come back and do the final phase which is alternating the 'beast' and 'bulk' weeks. I think I will sample ICE during this time as well to see if I can come up for a rotation for all of us!
Laurie, great workouts! I looked at my XT book, and I don't see any premix that orders the tabatas in Tabatacise based on intensity. I think the only options are the numbers you do, but the order is always the same. That being said, I think it would have been great if they were ordered based on intensity!! Regarding the bulk I have gotten....or think I have gotten.....I would think it is all in my mind if my shirts weren't slightly different in feel. My weight hasn't changed so that is good. But, honestly, I don't think anybody would notice any change in me, even if they were looking because even I can't see it. But I wanted to mention it because I can feel it. But I also know I will probably lose it next month in phase 3 (if it is anything like P90X). I'll keep you posted. Enjoy your hair appt. Mine is Thursday.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Ladies ~ BootCamp last night was pretty basic, which is the "norm", just regular stations and some cardio mixed in. This a.m. was STS Legs and tonight will be Insane X.
Laurel: Awesome work with Bulk Back & adding in the Tapout XT again. Glad you tried one and actually kind of liked it. I know what you mean on that combo I did. I was DEFINITELY feeling it in my legs and later in the day after running errands I wanted to just sit down for a while. No DOM's, which kind of surprised me but definitely worked them good on Saturday! I did find out last night that DH bought himself some rain gear for fishing, he admitted this will be his Christmas gift . . . YAHOO! Usually the case, I just always like him to have something to open. So just stocking stuffers is all.
Laurie: Great job with Tabatacise!! Thanks on the workouts, they always feel great and I love having a little more time one or both of the weekend days sometimes. Yes, men are very hard to buy for when they go out and buy stuff they need like my DH. Although if you saw above, I am good. I have the boots, which he doesn't know forsure I bought and then stocking stuffers; he took care of a big chunk with that rain gear.
Thelma: Sounds like a nice weekend and fun to get together with your family once a month. Very nice. Great job with High Reps and Hard Strikes, pretty funny about your pants. You may have been tripping all over them had you waited much longer. I'm with you on the shopping for myself .... DH likes to get me a little something just like I do for him at Christmas. But he saw my Beach Body box the other day; I told him it was my Christmas gift. He just laughed. Not sure on my jaw, I think it is slowly getting better so I will wait, but definitely aware of it.
Hope you ladies enjoy the rest of your day! Until tomorrow . . . .

Hi Ladies, I did Tabatacise level 4. I could've done all 5 levels but ran out of time. My BB program arrived today. I can't believe Beach Body didn't put much thought into the DVD sleeve design. One side is open so the DVD could easily slide out. I'm going to have to tape that end. I played a little bit of the Chest/Triceps workout and he uses the pyramid method. I don't know about you but I don't like Sagi's physique. It's a little distracting to me. I know, I know...the physique/bulk goes with the idea behind this program.
Laurie, great workouts! A hair appointment with your daughter or your regular hair stylist? I hope you love your new hair style!
My DH has incredible will power. I buy him a couple of cookies every few days. He eats one a day! I'd be eating them all in a few minutes. I'm glad I did Tabatacise instead of that Plyo workout. It's just as hard as the plyo but safer I think. It really was hard to concentrate when I was having that wardrobe malfunction! LOL
Laurel, what a killer combo you did today! Glad you tried that Tapout workout! Now you know you can actually benefit from it.
It was very warm today. I hope it cools off here too. A little hint of Christmas will be nice because right now it doesn't feel like Christmas at all.
Laurel, I can see how you would gain bulk with this BB program. There was a time when I was doing the pyramid method and it felt good to be able to increase the weights. I can see that I'd have to start using those little wrist weights in order to be able to increase the weight between sets. I have to increase weight a little at-a-time so I don't hurt myself. Do you have the BB base set or do you have a more advanced set?
I am doing legs tomorrow. I think I might try the BB Legs workout. I'm scared! LOL
I think like you I will sample some of the ICE workouts in this routine too. I think Cathe's January rotation will be an ICE rotation. Maybe we integrate the BB workouts into that rotation.
Tami, great workouts! Was Katie low energy last night! I probably would've tripped over my sweatpants if I'd waited for them to drop to the floor. Did you tell your husband he had bought you the stuff in the Beach Body box? Sometimes I tell DH: Sweetie, this is what you bought me for my birthday or whatever the occasion might be!
Glad your jaw is getting better.
Good night ladies!
