So, I attempted 2 ZWOWs today. omg, they are hard!!! I probably did 1/3 of the reps as her and most of the really hard stuff I did at beginner modification. I couldn't do pistol squats at all. I had some technical problems along the way, with my computer and also an ongoing problem with doing mtn climbers & burpees that stretch out my area rug. Normally I go a little off the rug, but I couldn't find a place with enough space for the strict mtn climbers. Finally just did them on the rug and let it stretch. Oh well. Beforehand, I had done the NMTZ warm up, then the ZWOWs, then straight into NMTZ c1, c2, c3, and the first minute or so of c4 before I realized that my right knee is absolutely SHOT. Hoping it will feel better since I didn't push any harder after that.

Off to pick up my son and hope to get a fast walk in. Gotta goooooooooooo!

Thanks partners, for the kick in the pants!! I'm pleased with my workout today. I would've liked to have gotten more done, to try to make-up for yesterday, but I did as much as I could, given that my knee was hurtin' pretty bad. I also went and did 45min instead of the usual 30min fast walk, followed by long stretch, cool down and an additional slow walk and some shopping.

Jessica, way to hit Blogilates! She tends to talk alot at the beginning & ending, so the workout isn't nearly as long as you think it will be, so yeah it's good to stack several together. You do get sweaty though, don't you? Sorry to hear your shins are still hurting. Have you considered those compression things that go on your legs to prevent shin splints? Try looking them up on Amazon. I hear they work. Good luck with the job hunt and the house. Moving to a new place can be stressful, I've done it a couple of times in my life and there's so much "discovering" where to go and what to do and what neighborhood is best and what good employers are around. But there's also alot of fun discovery too, remember to enjoy the "novelty" of it, before it wears off. ;-)


I'm glad to see all of you "regulars" on here...but I can't help notice that a few people have fallen silent. Hellooooo? I know * I'd * want a kick in the tail, to keep me going...but idk if folks have completely disappeared, are going at it alone, or still working and just lurking the group??? If you need a kick in the pants, you'd better let yourself be known!

Anyway, happy tuesday! I hope everyone is starting to see some tell-tale signs of Spring (I guess for some of you, just LESS snow would be welcomed! :laugh: ).
