    Hey there Ladies!
    I'm feeling really high energy today! Just did CP3...hubby's on spring break (he's a professor) and I actually talked him in to trying PK&J again with me later. I'll let you all know how that goes. :laugh: :laugh:
    Have a great day everyone!

    Megan - My hubby made it through the death squats for the first time last night & then sat on the couch behind me & said how much he was STILL sweating as I finished the work out. :grumble: I hope you dh does a bit better than that. :laugh: Good luck!

    Morning, Lyn! I started the SAHM thread this morning...we'll see how it goes. :bigsmile:

    I did PK&J yesterday & was waaaaay high on my HR the entire time, but it felt SO good. I think I'll be doing AJ, TS & some sort of cardio today...as well as whatever DH decides to do after the kids go down for the night (either 20 min. or more learning on PK&J). Toning days are my faves any more...I'm not sure why....

    Hey, everyone else! Have lovely days! :flowerforyou:

    Sara...I'm proud of Doug for sticking w/ it! WTG:drinker:

    I did P,K, & J so far this morning. More to come later tonight (spending nap time scrappin'). Have a great day all!

    Good Afternoon Beauties,
    The thread is up , Yea!! Thanks Drevansmom! Checking in with you all ~ got in FB this am and have 20min and AJ on for after work.... Possibly CP1 in place of 20min but we'll see how the energy is after I get off work. DH should have wrapped up trial today so that means some us time ~ he was so funny trying to justify why he didn't need to do his push ups yesterday, lol! He did half ~ which is better than
    none ~ so I'm grateful. He is still scared of TJ ~ the whole series ~ maybe I'll try to get him to try the 20min version,hmmmmmm?

    Megan: I agree w/ gottaluvboys, you do have so,e energy working for you today ~ good for you for making the most of it!

    Babybeans: You all crack me up when you talk about the "death squats":laugh: That is the perfect description. I thought of you guys yesterday as I was doing them (Lower Body Jam) kinda kept me pushing thru the burning. Sunday is my toning day ~ I am trying to add sculpt to Tuesday and Thursday but I keep getting scared that I won't get enough cardio.....Trial and error though, right?

    Drevansmom: Hope you have an outstanding day:flowerforyou:

    L8tr,

    Hey all!!

    I have been ill the past few days so couldnt work out. Just back at it today.

    I did day 1 of ChaLEAN Extreme and after that I got in half of the lower body jam before the burning got wayyyyyy too much for me and I chickened out :laugh: :laugh: I am still not feeling my best so I don't think I did too bad of a workout!

    Tomorrow is a rest from CE so I plan on getting in CP1 and either AJ or TS (prob AJ!)

    I noticed the tickers are gaining numbers!! Congrats Drevonsmon & Dragonfly!! That is brilliant!!

    Well done everyone!!

    I got in CP and AJ today and believe it or not I did ALL of AJ, not just the first 10 minutes :laugh:

    I love seeing you all posting your workouts.

    Deedun welcome back, sorry you haven't been feeling well.

    Okay Sara...I'm confused..."death squats" in PK&J?? Is that the section where you are doing Hi-Los to the front and back and then triple jabs and etc etc etc??

    Keep on Jammin!

    Lyn - YES! Those would be the death squats. I also call the squat/kick part of CP1 the death squats as well. DEATH SQUATS! I hate wide stance squats & doing them over & over & over again makes me want to beat someone. I am VERY proud of you for powering through the entire AJ! Once you do it for a few weeks, it won't be that bad...I promise. :wink:

    Deedun - WTG on the CE! I'm hoping that I'll be at a point around August that I'll be ready for that. I hope you're feeling better soon!

    Dragonfly - Have fun tonight whatever you do! "Us" time is always a good time! Good job to your hubby pushing out half of the pushups! Better than nothing is SO true! My dh did well with learning the 20 min. workout first. FB is too "dancy" for him so he doesn't like to do that one. He thinks he'll like PK&J even more than the 20 min. b/c he feels like he's getting an "intense" workout. Then again, he hasn't "worked out" since his high school years. :laugh:

    Kelly - Have fun scrappin'! I can't wait to see some of the pages!

    My cardio ended up being CP1...complete with death squats. :drinker: Cranked out all 3 for a total of 800 cals! YAY! I love my HRM. :love: It doesn't take much to amuse me. :laugh:

    OH OH OH! I forgot! There's a gym in a town pretty close to here that just opened that my friend joined. She's the one that introduced me to turbo jam & saw there was a Turbo Kick class there so she went ot check it out. Wanna guess who teaches it?! Come on....guess!

    Janelle! Chalene's sister! Soooo...guess who's getting a 14 day trial membership just to go take the class? ME! hehehe I'll have to see if she'll let me take a picture with her. :laugh: I'm sure I'll be escorted off the property, but it'll be SO worth it!

    :laugh:

    I'm excited to go try it out. If I like the class & the gym, I might be getting a membership. This one has a daycare & an indoor pool & my hubby can get the "corporate" rate that they are offering his employer! I might just become BFF's with Janelle & have lunch & go shopping. LOL A girl can dream!

    Hey, but YOU live in Ireland! I live in dumpy old Ohio! Blah! There's something you have going for you! :laugh:

    I think I'm going to go in the next couple weeks. I have to call Carrie b/c I'm not one to jump into an unknown social situation blindly so she has GOT to meet me there. I'm like a child. LOL

    Sara I got two words for you

    SHUT UP!!!!

    I found the website this weekend that talks about how you can get certified to be a Turbo Kick instructor, buy Turbo gear and other stuff. I'm actually considering getting certified. Of course I still have a long way to go before I could teach a class but I'm gonna keep it in the back of my head. They don't have anything like that at the gyms here. Oh and I'm going to buy a Turbo decal for my car. I'm such a junkie. Hubs even said I could buy some of the clothes from the website...yippee!!

    K gotta get of this silly addicting site. I'll be back later though!

    Lyn - You MUST forward me the link to that. I want a decal for the back of my Suburban. Then I can be friends with Chalene, too since our cars would match. :wink: It isn't an Escalade, but close enough, right?! RIGHT?! I think I'm getting delusions of grandure. :indifferent:

    I would like to look into be a class instructor, but umm...let's see...Janelle teaches the class here. People would look at the schedule & I'd get like 1 student that would quickly realize their mistake & run out of there screaming. :laugh:

    OMG!! Where do you live...I'm gonna move!:tongue: That is so cool, I can't wait to hear all about it!

    Welcome back Tressa! :flowerforyou:

    I got DH to do PK&J with me :tongue: It was still WAY to dancey for him. He's used to doing about 50 reps of one kick, then moving onto the next move...but he was a good sport about it, although I don't think it's going to happen again anytime soon. :laugh:

    drevans_mom, what web site are you talking about? I was just thinking today that I'd like to look into being an instructor...or at least buying some stuff to feel like one!:tongue::laugh:

    deedun, keep us posted on the Chalean Extreme...I'm trying to decide if my next purchase should be that or a new HRM...mine keeps pooping out.

    Great job on the workouts today ladies!

    You know in the "extras" where Janelle says that she's from Ottawa Hills, Oh? It is basically Toledo, but Ottawa Hills is the best part of it. LOL I live right outside of Toledo & the gym she teaches at is about 30 min. from where I live. I agree with wanting to "feel like" an instructor. LOL Anything to make myself feel like I'm a TJ master. :laugh:

    A decal is basically a sticker that you can slap on your car.

    I think you'd change your mind when you saw where I live, though. We live in the part of Ohio that is called "The Great Black Swamp." It's squishy.

    Sara...that is awesome! I knew she lived in Ottawa Hills and wondered if she taught a class "locally". Then through Facebook (a wonderful thing) I discovered that one of the girls I cheered w/ in high school is taking her class. If you can join a gym I'm going to be 100% jealous, Sara:tongue: I wish we lived a tad bit closer, but the gyms in Port Clinton and/or Fremont are better suited for us:grumble:

    For the record glad to know I'm not the only who dreams of becoming an instructor LOL. Oh, what a great group of leaders we would all be:bigsmile:

    Anywhoooo...add 20 min and Ab Jam to my workouts for the day.

    Please virtual slap me tomorrow if I don't report doing TS:wink:

    Instructor info and gear!

    I know there is a Turbo Kick instructor on MFP....don't recall her name at the moment, she used to be on this thread but she's gone missing. I will keep dreaming of growing up to be like Chalene. Sara if you go to Jalene's class I wanna hear all about it.

    hello ladies ~ sorry its been awhile. Our t.v. took a dump on us last week, so we had to go out and buy a new one. And let me tell you, it was not the funnest shopping trip!!!! My loving hubby (who couldn't make up his mind) and our two little ones (who were with and getting antsy cuz it was close to supper) made this one frustrating trip to Target I think I could have imagined. Its like my hubby was a kid in the toy isle and couldn't decide which "toy" was the best/biggest to get. :grumble: But, we finally got a t.v. and I was able to get back on track today. I did the 20 min workout, and the L1 of the 30 day shred. Aiming for CP tomorrow!!! (and another round of 30 day shred)

    Don't ya just love it when hubby's get all 5 year old on you? :grumble: Sorry about the tv, though! That sucks when something big like that breaks unexpectedly. Good luck getting back into it! I'm sure you'll do great! :flowerforyou:

    I think I mostly dream of being an insturctor simply for my own well being. If I'm an instructor, that means that I can actually breathe & talk during the workouts! :laugh: That is a fitness goal in itself! :laugh:

    How does your friend like her class? The only bad thing about it (from the website) is that it is only offered Thur. nights at 6:30 & Sat. mornings at 8:30. I'm not sure which one would be more full...ehh...

    Thanks for the link, Lyn! I'll have to go spend money there later today. :laugh:

    Today is cardio so I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. Tuesdays are also grocery store trip & speech therapy days for M so they get a little crazy. I'm thinking maybe FB at nap time & PK&J with dh tonight. We'll see. *shrug* I need new cardio!

    DANG it's early..silly baby woke up at 3 and still hasn't gone back to sleep!!!

    Welcome back Tressa and Annette!! Tressa I that whatever sidelined you has been resolved and that everything is going well. Annette, sorry to hear about the tv and the boy in the toy store :laugh:

    Sara-do you have all the CPs? You don't have 3 right...maybe you should get it...I :heart: it. I also love that I have enough dvds now to keep it interesting. I bet she doesn't have anything new out cuz she's been working on ChaLEAN extreme....ugh. When you see Jalene tell them to get back to work and make us a new workout :laugh:

    I hope everyone has a lovely day. I'm hoping to go back to sleep for a little while as soon as the baby crashes.
