Hi Ladies, tonight I did Intensity. I hadn't done this workout in a very long time. I had a hard time with the choreography in the beginning but I eventually got it.
Laurie, sorry you're so busy with work! Great timesaver choice this morning!
Thanks for letting me know about the squat rack workouts. I'll have to check tomorrow but I could swear that it had the same numbers as the Meso 3 28-36 case. It doesn't have the numbers on the side of the cover like the other cases do so I had to open it. i hope you can find good deals on prime day! I order an Instant Pot because they had it for $69.99 which is a 42% savings! The Skinny Taste lady uses it a lot so I wanted to try it.

I joined Prime for this month so I could get the deal with the pot! LOL I'll cancel next month. I just can't see myself paying $99 a year. I wasn't given a chance to do a trial version.
Are you saying the training Rocket is getting with the invisible fence is also helping when he's outside the yard boundary? That is really good about being able to take him for a walk off leash!
Tami, great workouts Tami! Glad Katy offered a killer class for you! LOL
Thanks so much for the kudos on my STS routine. I am really happy that I'm doing so well too. I do like the new dumbbells but I use the barbell whenever possible. I'm sure your husband is thankful to not have to be breathing smoke this year! I'll definitely have to check those STS leg workouts!
Good night ladies!!!

Morning Ladies,
Again no workout yesterday, got home late again and since we have been lacking water around here, I got out the hose to water all the plants. Up by my parents they received so much rain that it washed out a major highway just 10 miles away from them. This morning was ICE Metabolic Total Body, this one is one of my favorites in the series.
Tami, Sounds like a great Bootcamp class. It looks like she really makes sure that the upper body is worked good during that session. Great job on the H&C workout also. I really like the muscle meltdown's in the workout, and want to try some type of rotation that incorporates them. I'm going to be on vacation next week, so I should have some time to create a fun rotation with them.
Thelma, Nice job getting through the beginning of that workout. The choreo is why I don't attempt that workout to often. You will have to let us know how you like the Instant Pot, because I have been eyeing that up also. You got that for an awesome price. Yes the fence is helping with Rockets other training, because when I say NO he stops what he is doing and listens to me. At first I though we were crazy to get a puppy, but he is fast turning into a really great dog that is smart and easy to train.
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies ~ Didn’t get another workout in last night when I got home, but that felt ok to me. Today is Chisel Cardio and Spinning after work!
Thelma: Great job with Intensity, that is always a tough one! I haven’t done it in a very long time, but it is SO good! I can even do the choreography in that one ….. which makes me smile. LOL So did you end up with that fabulously priced Pressure Cooker? That’s a great deal. I looked on Amazon last night, briefly but resisted purchasing anything. I forgot to answer you yesterday about DH being gone so much. Yes, it is tough at times but I have gotten use to it over the years. It’s hard when he gets back and he is so tired and then busy on weekends cleaning and putting things away for hours; preparing for the next round. So even when he is home I don’t really get a lot of quality time with him. I guess I should have enjoyed the time while he was on the couch every day after his surgery ..... LOL although that was a stressful time, so I don't wish for it back.
Those Squat Rack Legs workouts are great …. Only 8 reps but max weight; I use my weighted vest in those for additional weight. There are long, 90 second breaks in between sets.
Laurie: Great work with ICE Total Body, it is a great one and I use that warm-up a lot during these H&C/21DFX workouts for a nice, but not too long all over warm-up. She does get our upper body good in that BootCamp class so far. YOWSA on all the push-ups and then weighted work back-to-back, but all good stuff. Can’t wait to hear what kind of a rotation you come up with using the BB/Muscle Meltdowns! Will you be going anywhere next week?
Have a great evening ladies ~ Tami

Hi Ladies! Quick check-in. This is DH's last full week off this summer. Can you believe that?!! He has two days of training next week and then back to part-time the last week in July before going back full-time the week after. So we are trying to enjoy the time together as much as we can right now......on the golf course, of course! But I have also been working out each day. This is my last week of the first phase of Body Beast so, so far, I have done both Tempo workouts (which I love) and Build Legs. I have done some good cardio each day as well. Today was IMAX3, which is such a tough one! We had a golf course to ourselves this afternoon, which was fantastic! We are alternating riding and walking days during these high temps (still in the mid-90s with high humidity), but the heat isn't bothering me this week like it was last week. I think I have adapted to it. We went to my in-laws on Saturday and I absolutely froze in their AC!! That's a first!
Tami, great workouts! Sounds like the new BC format under Katy is a good one. At least she seems to be mixing things up a bit. Love the new photo! What a cutie. I don't know how you workout with that face looking at you. I would want to cuddle him!! Glad your DH's fishing is going okay so far this season. Just after I asked about your temps, I saw the highs up there in the 60s and 70s. Much more 'normal' this year. I bet that is very welcome.
Thelma, glad to hear your back is feeling better. Squats can be tough on it, that's for sure. Thank you SO much for posting that video of the Fit Tower. I caught the news of the presale on Cathe's Facebook page but didn't get a chance to watch the video. I am very excited about this!
Laurie, sorry to hear work is a bother right now. But great job with the workouts. I did Rock'm Sock'm yesterday, and it is such a good workout. I think the worst thing about summer in Florida is you don't know when--or if--it will end. I could take the constant summer heat and humidity better if I knew in a couple of months it would go away. I really don't mind hot weather in summer. But last year we didn't cool off until after Christmas!! And it is still sweating in November that has me wondering if this is the place for me. We will see how this year goes.
I will check-in over the next week when I can!!

Hi Ladies, just wanted to say a quick hello and to tell you that you're all doing AWESOME with your workouts!
My back is a mess! My lower back went into major muscle spasms today when I got home. It usually relaxes during the day but not today. When I got home I used the heating pad and this electric muscle stimulation thingy I have and I think it made things worse. It was so bad that I almost had a hard time walking. I managed to get myself on the floor so DH could massage me and things got better. Then I decided to stretch when I felt pretty normal and things got tight again. So I'm thinking I'll take a break from STS this week and will do this week workouts next week (hopefully).
Laurie, that is wonderful news on Rocket's training outside the invisible fence! You got a smart boy for sure!
Tami, I did get the One Pot! I couldn't resist that deal! I'm sure it's tough not having your DH home but work is work right?
Laurel, great workouts and I'm sure your golf game has gotten much better with all the practice you've been getting. You would totally freeze at my house! LOL
I am excited about the tower too and specially the barbell holder part!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
After work I did ICE Metabolic Total Body Blast, MM Chest and Icy Core 1. On that workout, there is no premix with just those items. I know that they are on the other workouts. Oh well, I just had to improvise after the warm-up. No workout this morning, I had a bad night of sleeping. Will get my workout in after work, even if I have to do it late. We have a staff meeting off site today, so I hope it doesn't go to long because the place they picked out is downtown Milw. Getting out of that area during rush hour is not fun.
Tami, I'm sure that your workout was a good one yesterday. We are headed to TN for the Oldsmobile Nationals, and we are driving the '68 442 without air cond. Should be an interesting ride, just hope that it isn't to hot along the way. I really like the the idea of doing these ICE workouts with either the cardio in the morning or the weight work done in the morning, and the cardio portion after work. That means that I would be doing the warm ups and stretching twice a day, but so far it hasn't been to bad.
Laurel, Great job on the workouts and golfing. Imax 3 is a tough one for sure. It's interesting how our bodies adjust to temps, this summer has been hot and humid around here so a bit different than what we have had for the last couple of years. I have been enjoying it, well except for at night. Then I need the fan and a/c. Hope that the temps do go down a little. Wow that time really flew by, but then you will be getting back into a routine again with your DH back at work. This is the first time in years that I have worried about going on vacation, there is just so much going on right now.
Thelma, So sorry to hear about your back, but it sounds like you are taking care of it. Do let us know how your One Pot works out!
Have a great day!

Hi Ladies ~ Had a great Spin class last night, despite low attendance. Looks like nobody is planning on being there on Friday evening, just with other plans, vacations, etc..... I am planning on going on a ride Friday evening with my girlfriend again after work, so that will be good. Today’s workout(s) I am doing after work, because I have the house to myself and “can” …. vs my early a.m. workout. Looking forward to it.
Laurel: Sounds like you are having some amazing time with your DH, that is awesome and tolerating your hot muggy weather as well. Outstanding job on the workouts as always. Yes, Bernie is a doll face forsure and he looks at me with those BIG eyes …. I usually try not to look or I will have to pause and do some loves. Which just makes him anxious for more and usually then he gets on the mat again & the process starts all over. LOL
Thelma: So sorry to hear your back is a mess, darn it …. I thought you were on the home stretch to recovery. Probably a little more rest will help. Can’t wait to hear how your One Pot goes and how you like it. My sister received one as a gift from my mom at Christmas, I think she has only used it one time. I keep forgetting to ask her how she liked it and if she has used it again. Yes, work is work forsure and he works hard when he is fishing forsure.
Laurie: Another great ICE combo for you yesterday. I wish there was a pre-mix of all the MM’s or all the BB’s. Wouldn’t that be a great workout for either?!? Sorry to hear you had a bad night of sleep ….. I’ve been there so many time. Hopefully tonight goes better for you. Probably being worried about leaving work is not helping matters. I hope you can relax and enjoy once you are off.
Have a great evening ladies ~ Tami

Hi Ladies! When I woke up this morning I was very stiff but nothing like Wednesday. I felt pretty good during he day but decided to go to the chiropractor. He adjusted my back and came home and walked on the treadmill. I am going back to see him on Monday after work.
Laurie, great job putting together your own ICE premix! I hope that offsite meeting ended on time and that getting out of there wasn't too bad.
I will let you know the One Pot. Can't wait to get it.
Tami, awesome workouts! I hope you're able to do that ride tomorrow.
I really thought I was well on my way to 100% recovery too but I hope to be better next week. I will let you know about the One Pot. I make bean soup once a month in the pressure cooker next time I'll make it in the one pot next time!
Good night ladies!

Morning Ladies,
Super busy day, so this may be short. Got in my workout yesterday with ICE Low Impact Sweat, BB, MM Back. This morning was ICE Chiseled Lower Body.
Tami, Glad to hear the spin class was a good one. I'm sure that you had a great workout at home also. I was thinking those would be good premixes also. Makes me tempted to get her subscription so I can use the workout manager for that purpose. Had a great night sleep, it got down to 60 deg last night, so really comfortable.
Thelma, Nice getting in that treadmill walk. Glad to hear that your not so stiff also. The meeting only went 7 min. over, so not to bad. As soon as it was done, I headed out the door though.
Have a great weekend, and I should be able to chat at some point next week. I'm planning on taking yoga with me.
Laurie0 -
Hi Ladies, I hope you all had a great weekend. We had a busy weekend and I was babying my back. I think it's better but I'm still getting stiff. When I wake up in the morning I'm very stiff so I use the heating pad to help things relax. Things get better as the day goes on. I'm going to see the chiropractor tomorrow. I think I'm going to try STS tomorrow again but I'll use lighter weights just to test the waters.
On Friday I did Rock'm Sock'm premix Less Kicks, LIS Yoga Relax, on Saturday Brazil Butt Lift Cardio Axe, STS Extended Stretch and today I took the day off.
My Instant Pot came on Friday. We washed it and I used it on Saturday and made a skinnytaste.com modified recipe called Easy Crock Pot Chicken and Black Bean Taco Salad. I used ground turkey, I added green peppers, two diced zucchini, chili powder, garlic and I added a beef flavored bullion cube. I sauteed the peppers and onions and browned the meat using the saute setting in the Instant Pot. The sauteing part was what took about 20-25 minutes. Then I put the lid on an it took about 10 minutes for the meal to be ready You have the choice to manually release the pressure or wait 10-15 minutes. I can't believe how tasty it was! The food was so tasty! The little broth in the dish was very tasty. It tasted as if it had been simmering for hours. Today we used it to steam broccoli. Too one minute but this doesn't include the couple of minutes of warmup. I read on Facebook that the price I paid for this machine was the lowest the machine has ever been sold for.
Laurie, great job getting those workouts in! So glad your offsite meeting didn't go over too long.
Hi Tami and Laurel!
Good night ladies!!!

Happy Monday ~ Weekend was pretty good. DH came home shortly after I arrived back from an early bike ride on Saturday with my friend and we had breakfast; this is my friend that has the 2 yr old and was borrowing a bike. We rode 20 miles and then yesterday I rode with my other friend who has been going with me and we are doing the ride together August 6th. She and I rode 30 miles yesterday. Both were early a.m. rides so back in time to have our whole day but boy was I tired last night. Went to bed early and decided to do today’s workout after work. Probably at home because we have a big storm coming and DH already left again back to his fishing spot. Quick trip home I know …. I thought he was staying until Wednesday and then go back but I guess not. So house to myself again. Seemed really strange to not get in my regular workouts so I am picking up tonight from where I left off. I realize 50 miles on a bike is good exercise, just different not getting in my usuals. LOL
Thelma: Sounds like you are doing all the right things for your back and being able to get in workouts while you are still feeling the pain in your back. Hopefully the chiropractor visits can help relieve some of the tension for you. Your One Pot sounds like it worked amazingly and again, SO good on that special “one-time” price through Amazon! I love it when that happens.
Laurie: I hope you have an amazing vacation OFF work! Enjoy and try to relax.
Laurel – Hope you are enjoying your DH and the golf course!
Until tomorrow ~ Tami

Hi Ladies, the chiropractor says I'm doing really good and of course I know that! LOL. I restarted last week's rotation so today I did STS Meso 3, Disc 28 Chest & Back. I followed that with a 10 minute walk on the treadmill and the STS extended stretch. I had to take it easy so my weights went down significantly from what I was doing prior to the injury but I had to be careful. My lower back got a tight during the workout and that is why the I walked on the treadmill and did the extended stretch. I followed the workout with the heating pad and that totally helped my back. I'm going back to the chiropractor next Tuesday.
I ordered my Fit tower today! So exciting! The only thing I'm not sure of is if my workout bench is to high for the tower. I will have to wait till it gets here to find out!
Tami, awesome bike rides this weekend! No wonder you were tired! 50 miles on a bike is a good workout for sure! Glad you got to see your DH even if for a short time!
Thanks on doing the right things for my back. I have to or I'll hurt myself and put myself out of commission.
I froze some of the food I made on Saturday for lunches for the week and I had some today. It was so yummy!
Laurie, have a wonderful vacation! I hope you're able to do your yoga workouts!
Laurel, are you ready to go pro in golf? LOL. I hope you're having a lot of fun with your husband.
Good night ladies!!!

Hi Ladies ~ Last night I headed home and did Max Hammer Strength, really like that workout. This a.m. was 21DFX Cardio Fix XT and tonight will be Insane-X with Katy.
Thelma: Congrats on ordering the Fit Tower!!! I bet you cannot wait. It is such a great all-over useful piece of equipment. I think your bench will work, just adjusting the risers like Cathe does. Great job getting in Chest & Back last night. Must be feeling a little better, which is great.
Have a great evening ~
Tami0 -
Hi ladies, spinning for me tonight. Had a pretty good back day today which is great. STS Legs tomorrow.
Tami, awesome workouts! Great job!
I can't wait to get my Fit Tower! I hope my bench works with the tower. I just think it is taller than the all those risers stacked up.
I am definitely feeling better. Glad I gave my body a break!
Good night ladies!

Hi Ladies! I should be getting back to a more normal posting schedule now. DH and I really enjoyed his last week of summer, though. We golfed every day and enjoyed our evenings on the back porch with dinner and wine. Very nice! But I have kept up with the workouts. I started the Body Beast Bulk phase on Sunday, and I love these workouts! But they do make me tired, that's for sure. Today's workout was Bulk Arms followed by XT Cardio Leg Blast. I also did Beast Abs.
Tami, great rides over the weekend!! I do imagine it was different not doing traditional workouts, but how fun to be with friends and outside. Sorry to hear DH was only home for such a short time, but I hope the fishing is good for him this year. Hope the weather doesn't turn too bad!! I saw a weather map of the US earlier today and it does look like you are in one of the few cooler places in the US right now. Our heat continues, but now we need some rain!
Thelma, glad to hear your back is doing a little better. A sore back is no fun. I hope the chiropractor keeps helping you. My DH swears by his chiropractor. Has made all the difference in his back issues. I order my Fit Tower too! Can't wait till it comes in.
Laurie, hope you are enjoying your time away!!
See you all tomorrow!!
Laurel0 -
Hi ladies, tonight I did STS Meso 3, Disc 29 Plyo Legs, followed by a short walk on the treadmill. My back was a little tight today but I know that I have to keep moving so I kept the weights today lite today.
.
Hi Laurel! Welcome back! So glad you and your DH had a wonderful time together. Good for you for keeping up with your workouts! WTG! Congrats on ordering your Fit Tower! I can't wait to get mine either!
I think the chiropractor helped a little. This guy is not my first choice but will have to do as the other one is about 2 hours from my home. I think I'm doing better because I keep on moving and stretching.
Hi Tami!
Thelma0 -
Hi Ladies! DH is in training today so I got a chance to do a good, long workout. Yay! I started with Bulk Shoulders, which felt tough.....but I was able to lift the same weights I was using when I ended the program last time, so that is good. Then, for cardio, I started with ICE Low Impact Sweat Cardio 2 and Blizzard Blast right into LIS Low Impact Challenge making for a nice 80 minute cardio. I needed that today, and it felt great!
Thelma, great job with Plyo Legs. That's a tough one with a tight back. I find moving enough but not too much is good when my back goes out like yours did, so it sounds like you are taking a wise approach being cautious with the weights but not stopping all together with doing anything. Hope it continues to improve.
Until tomorrow!
Laurel0 -
Hi Ladies ~ Sorry I missed you both yesterday. Lets see, so Tuesday evening I went to Katy’s Insane X class and it was the one where we ran 1 mile outside for warm-up, then did 50 sit-ups, 50 pull-ups, 200 push-ups and 300 squats … then started over until everyone was done and ran a mile again. WHOA. Tough one - after 300 squats and then go run a mile my booty was hurtin. A few DOMS yesterday in my lats due to the pull-ups forsure.
Last night was Spinning; this a.m. was Chisel Endurance and tonight I am hoping to get something in at home.
Thelma: Sounds like you are really doing well despite the tight back muscles. Good job paying attention to it and lightening up on the weights to avoid further spasms/tightness. As always, its so awesome you are persevering through and getting it done!
Laurel: I had no doubt you were having a wonderful time golfing with your DH and enjoying that Florida weather along with some nice wine on the back porch. Sounds fabulous. Of course also keeping up with your workouts! Awesome job as always. Congrats to you as well with your Fit Tower purchase, anxious to hear how much you love it and if you like the barre workouts that come with it?!?!
Have a great rest of your day ladies ~ talk to you tomorrow!

Hi Ladies, tonight I did ICE Low Impact Sweat. My back is doing pretty well. I just wake up a little stiff but I loosen up during the day which is good.
Laurel, great combo and congrats for lifting the same weights you lifted the last time.
Thankfully my back tolerated the Plyo workout. So far the workouts haven't bothered me too much.
Tami, that Insane X class sounds like a killer! Great job!
I really am doing 1000% better. I've hurt myself so many times that I know better about slowing down. Thanks!
Good night ladies!!!
Thelma0 -
Hi Ladies! I decided against the scheduled rest day in the Body Beast rotation since I plan on a day off tomorrow, so today started with Bulk Chest. This one is still so tough for me.....but I love it!! I followed it with RWH Circuit Lower Body into ICE Chiseled Lower Body Blizzard Blast and Icy Core 2. Great combo.
Tami, sounds like a tough Katy workout! I think I would have had more than a 'few' DOMS after that. I watched a 15 minute 'live' Facebook video Cathe did a couple of weeks ago yesterday about the new Fit Tower. Definitely doesn't sound like these new workouts will be for me. I mean Cathe even suggests giving them away as gifts unless you are a beginner!
But the exciting news is she is announcing her plans for new workouts next weekend, and it will include an advanced Fit Tower workout. So more new Cathe workouts on the horizon!! But all of the info on the tower itself sounds fantastic. Really looking forward to getting it.
Thelma, glad to hear you continue to improve and the Meso 3 workouts aren't bothering your back. Love that Low Impact Sweat workout!
Enjoy the weekend.
Laurel0 -
Hi Ladies & Happy Friday ~ Today’s workout is Chisel Cardio and 21DFX Cardio XT, both I am doing tonight when I get home. Going to get in some workouts this weekend, bike ride and some more overtime at work
Thelma: Awesome job again on the workouts and glad to hear your back is doing so well!
Laurel: Sounds like an amazing combo of workouts today! Nice job. YAY!!! On Cathe coming out with something else soon as well. I will be anxious to hear about those barre workouts and then what is in store for “next” on her list! So exciting, thanks for letting me know.
Hi Laurie
Hope you have had a great time off.
Have a great weekend ladies!

Hi Ladies, I hope you had a great weekend! We had a pretty good weekend just a busy and too short! On Friday I did STS Meso 3, Disc 30 Shoulders, Biceps & Triceps, on Saturday I did Hard Strikes and today I took the day off. My back has been doing well. Today I was on my feet all day in the kitchen so things compressed in my spine. I had to keep stretching which relieved the compression.
Laurel, great combo on Friday! How exciting that Cathe has plans for new workouts that include the Fit Tower!
Tami, great workouts on Friday!
Good night ladies!!!

Hi Ladies! We had a nice weekend here. Both days were spent golfing. Trying to get as much in since DH returns to work part time this week, and then back to full time and coaching next week. I guess summer is almost over.
I took Saturday off from working out, as planned. But yesterday I was right back at it with Bulk Back and RWH Plyo HiiT One Doubled premix. I also did RWH Core 1. Today was Bulk Legs followed by Cathe's Greatest Hits Intervals and Circuits workout. Love that one.
Tami, hope you enjoyed some good bike rides this weekend. That sounds like fun! Great workouts on Friday.
Thelma, glad to hear your back is still getting better. I woke up to a sore back yesterday (golfing will do that sometimes) then had a scary tweak when I was doing Bulk Back. I took some time between workouts yesterday to stretch and make sure it was okay, and I felt fine during the cardio and then golf after. But last night it got tight again, and was tight this morning. I was really careful doing my weights, but it felt fine. And now I don't feel anything. So hopefully it was just a minor tweak. But I was thinking of you, that's for sure!! Backs are scary!!
Laurie, hope you are well and rested!

Hi Ladies ~ Sounds like you both had wonderful weekends! I had a good weekend . . . no bike rides but good workouts at home. My bike riding buddy was camping, actually both of them were gone camping this weekend. So I stayed home and did workouts and the usual. We had beautiful weather; oh and I also worked 5 hours on Saturday. Good OT! Workouts were: Sat was KCM Lean Body Circuits for something different and I love that one; yesterday was Total Body Hammer and tonight will be Katy's BootCamp. She has a brutal workout planned for us tomorrow, so hopefully tonight is a normal tough. LOL
Thelma: Glad to hear your back is still doing well and not relapsing! Great workouts this weekend.
Laurel: Awesome job as always and sounds super fun with all the golf. You must be getting really good by now! Hopefully your back is just a slight pull/strain and nothing more.
Have a great evening ladies ~ Talk to you tomorrow.
Tami0 -
Hi Ladies, tonight I did STS Meso 3 Disc 31 Chest, Back. Great workout but soooo long!
We are having a mega heatwave. I can't remember the last time we had any significant rain. Thank God for AC!
Laurel, glad you and your husband a nice golf weekend! Great combos!
Thank God your back is OK! How scary! Hopefully it was just a minor tweak. Backs are scary. I pretty much have gone back to full weights but as still careful on the dead lifts I had t do today.
Tami, I'm glad you had a nice weekend. Great workouts! How fortunate to be asked to work overtime!
Hi Laurie!
Good night ladies!!!

Hi Ladies! Today's workout started with Bulk Arms, which is one of my favorites. For cardio, I did Cathe's To The Max Extreme premix, which is such a tough one for me. But it felt good today. My back is 100% again.....thankfully. Didn't feel it once during the workout. Whew!
Tami, sorry to hear you didn't get any rides in this weekend, but it sounds like you made the most of your workout time this weekend. And extra OT is good. I wonder what Katy has in kind for you all tonight! Hopefully NC was relatively tame last night.
Thelma, those Meso 3 workouts are long, but SO good. I have heard about the heat in the Northeast. Hope it cools off soon. We have been pretty moderate (around 90) here for the past few days, but we are trending back up with more humidity. Like you, we haven't seen any significant rain in weeks, so everything is so dry despite the humidity. I miss the rain!! I am just hoping we don't get any major fires now that we are heating up again.
See you tomorrow!

Hi Ladies ~ Well last night was a good tough but not brutal, as I hoped for. We did more of one of her Insanity Style classes with stations all at 2 minutes each (3) rounds: Chin-Ups, Wall Balls, Rowing, Squats w/ Overhead Press, sit-ups with weighted ball, toss to partner, and another ab move. Plus of course Suicide Sprints at the end and other running, plyo exercise in between each round. Tonight we are meeting at one of the local High School Tracks to do sprints, body weight exercises, stair running and more body weight exercise; that’s all I know. She told us it will be “fun” - LOL Hopefully the weather changes from what it is right now …… muggy/lightening & wind. Yikes!
Thelma: Awesome job getting in Disc 31, those Meso 3 workouts can feel long forsure. We’ve been having a bit of a heat wave this week as well; eventhough the weather is crummy right now, its high 80’s and muggy. Which is not usual for us. We have had a very unusual summer, but I will take unusual over fires burning all around us. I do feel fortunate to be able to work OT and right now I can work as many hours as I want, so without burning myself out I will take advantage of it while it’s on the table!
Laurel: Such an awesome combo today! To The Max Extreme …… it has been such a LONG time since I have done that one and I remember it being a “go to” cardio workout in my rotation for a while there. Maybe I will attempt it again soon. See how I do?!?!? Glad to hear your back is fine today.
Have a great afternoon ladies!

Good news ladies ..... it has cleared up. Now sunny and HOT! Wish me luck 0

Hi Ladies, tonight I did RWH Low Impact I & II. This workout is definitely up my speed. I really like the premix. The heatwave continues!
Laurel, what a great combo! So glad your back is back to normal! I had a chiropractor appointment today which I cancelled because my back is feeling at about 100%. The chiro called me to say that it was a good practice to do a treatment once the patient goes back to full workouts after an injury so I'll go back on Thurs
I defnitely have enjoyed the Meso 2 & 3 workouts. I'm not sure I can deal with all the pushups you mentioned on Meso 1though.
Tami, that workout sounds both tough and brutal! Good luck with tonight's class. It seems the entire country is having a heatwave. Hopefully your company will give the opportunity to work OT now that you have the time and is not an inconvenience. Thanks on my back. I'm so happy it's better!
Hi Laurie!

Hi Ladies. Just a quick note from me today. We got the long-awaited, expected and dreaded phone call last night that my mom has taken a very bad turn for the worse and not expected to make it much longer. She has been getting weaker these past two weeks to a point over the weekend she wasn't able to even get up. So this was in no way a shock but still very difficult. Right now we are all waiting to hear more from her hospice nurse, who will see my mother this morning, and then decide if now is the time to go down there for all of us. The good news in all of this is that they moved the closing up on her house to yesterday so that is all done and finalized. I know my sisters and I have been holding our breath for that for a few weeks, so that is one less thing we will need to worry about.
To keep myself sane, I did my usual workout this morning. I started with Bulk Shoulders then for cardio, did the Rock'm Sock'm Blizzard Blast into Cardio Core Circuits. It felt good, both physically and mentally.
Tami, sounds like a good BC workout. Hope last night's workout wasn't too brutal, especially in the heat and humidity.
Thelma, glad to hear you are back to 100% with your back. I did that premix last week, and I love that one. Glad you are enjoying Meso 3.
