It is much easier with a support group. There are some days when I want to skip it and think of the group. I figure if Amy can workout sitting on a coffee table, then I should be able to get my sweat on.

Just finished up Fire 45 EZ and stretch 10! Doing my best to show week 8 that I'm the boss lol. Tomorrow is my rest day so see you guys on Thursday.

Hey there! Yesterday was super busy with all day meetings at work then parent teacher conferences for the boys. One of the twins has a stomach virus but you would not know that looking at him playing his video game. He is full of energy and I am ready for a nap.

B) Jab jab!

Started my day with Core 20 and didn't let sore muscles hold me back. It felt like someone attached weights to my legs. My students have the day off and we will be in meetings all day. Have a great day on purpose!

Thanks! My knee feels much better. I was able to let Fire 30 kick my butt this morning. I will see if I can finish Tone 30 tonight.

I forgot that I have some Tae Bo DVDs in the house. They aren't nearly as fun as TF though. Zumba is fun but that requires finding a gym that has a class and a kiddie room in my area. I was so spoiled by the YMCA gym we joined after I had the twins! We were in there every day taking a different cardio/exercise class and…

Hey there! It hasn't snowed. So I have nothing to shovel lol. I have done about a couple of months of Insanity, the Asylum one. I tried doing the regular Insanity and thought it was insanely hard. Shawn had to tell people in the video to take a break because they were about to collapse. I need to start training for the…

The cold air hit my city too. We didn't get a 2 hour delay but the surrounding counties did. I had to take an extra rest day after I tweaked my knee. I will be pressing play and knocking out Fire 30 and Sculpt 30 once the kids go to sleep.

My weekend wasn't too bad. Valentine's Day is always pretty low key for hubby and I. The kids called their grandmothers and wished them Happy Valentine's Day. We baked some cookies and I let them eat the candy grandma sent.

Hi teach0722! Feel free to use whichever schedule works for you. I am using a schedule I found online because it fits better into my everyday life schedule.

Yay! Glad to hear you had a nice weekend Coach and Amy! I have been pretty lazy except for when I was doing TF. There is a winter storm watch in effect in my area. Most of the teachers I know are doing their snow day dance in hopes of getting another day off.

I hope everyone is doing okay. (Still enjoying the Valentine's Day weekend based in the lack of activity in here ;) )I knocked out Core 20 in time for me to watch "The Walking Dead"

I knocked out my workout this morning before my meeting. Three of my sons joined me for Fire 30 and I am pretty sure we sounded like a herd of elephants lol. This week has been pretty rough because I am fighting off a cold and took two rest days. Happy Valentine's Day!

Fire 55EZ is done and I didn't have anyone running circles around me or stealing my water :) I did have to yell go back to bed a couple of times which is hard to do with no voice.

I didn't have the energy to workout Monday night so I made it my rest day. I checked on the group last night and was motivated to press play. So I knocked out Fire 30. I will check in again after I finish my workout tonight. :)

With Core 20 and Stretch 40 completed...so is week 5! I start week 6 with Fire 55EZ tomorrow

Hi! I don't have a monitor. I just log mine under Kickboxing and enter the minutes. It mentions Turbo Jam which is another Chalene workout.

Sharkmom, I already have a plan in place for when my sons get older. It is called Operation Remember that time you... I am going to their gym and run laps around them and steal their water. Then ask every two minutes "You done with your workout?" If I am feeling spry, climb on their back while they attempt warrior one…

First, congrats on the 4lbs! I am 5'6" and was 152 when I started this group at the beginning of the year. I had to stop with the scale and use pictures. My hubby took a pic and I looked about 3 months pregnant. People were actually asking me if I was too. I took a pic yesterday after my workout and could see my "no baby…

Fire 45 is complete! I have discovered I have more tolerance with it when I do it in the afternoon.

I learned my lesson about trying to workout when my kids are awake especially on Friday nights. Those jokers have no patience. My 8 year old likes to do the punches but his coordination is not quite there yet. My 6 year old stays out of the way or quietly watches. The 4 year old twins will either run circles around me or…

Made it through Fire 30 tonight. I had to skip Tone 30 because my ankles are sore. I do a much of running up and down stairs at work and home. I think it is time for me to get a new pair of shoes.

Fire 55 was just what I needed! Kicking and punching away the stress from my crazy students...I am going to feel this in the morning.

Core 20 and Stretch 10 are done. On to week 5 I go tomorrow night!

Thanks! I will be doing some research.

Thanks Angela! I am a teacher and always running around the building.

Fire 45 EZ and Stretch 10 was just handled! Almost done with week 4

Random question: Is it worth it to invest in one of those FitBit or Jawbone monitors? My husband had a Nike Fuel band but kept having issues with it. I think he shorted the thing out during his workouts.

Managed to finish Fire 30 and Stretch 10 despite the angry protests from my 4 year old. His twin brother just joins me for a minutes and thinks it is fun.
