  • Fitn: I have had hard weeks, so I can sympathize. I wonder if maybe there is a bit of burn out going on? Maybe too much working out? I know that one of the signs for me, that I need to take a break, is the dread factor. I had some of that last week, I think primarily because my routine was not settled. This week I found my…

  • Did the 40 minute kettle bell workout.....LOVE it!!! Some sections were not as intense as I would have liked, so as I get more comfortable with the moves I will have to find ways to increase the intensity level. This workout will definitely find a spot in my regular rotation. I did not have time for yoga this morning, so…

  • Fitn: Glad you were not seriously injured! Way to push yourself, I know I have hard days like that, too. I seem to have hurt my wrist somehow, not sure what I did. What kind of calorie push did you have in mind? I seem to be pushing my points very close (or completely over in the case of the weekend). Today: 40 min TJ + 10…

  • Laura: Hi! Welcome :) I will look forward to getting to know you! Fitn: Glad you are feeling better! Nice circuit yesterday...you have me thinking I need to look into the mini tramp again. I had one years ago, but never utilized it well. Sherrill: Have fun on your trip!! Yesterday I had an all day class that I had to leave…

  • Sherrill, I have to agree with Fitn, you are very motivational :) I look forward to your workout and your menu's! Fitn: How incredibly frustrating for you :( I wish I had something spectacular to offer, some magical insight, but I don't. I can offer my support, and my shoulder, however :) Today I tweaked my existing TJ to…

  • Fitn: I am so sorry that the level of frustration is so high for you. It has taken me almost a year to shed 15 pounds, so believe me when I say I understand. We are in this together, and together we can beat this 40's thing! For me, these challenges that you started have played a key role in keeping me motivated when I may…

  • I hope you enjoy your rest day, very important to take those! Yesterday I did a 10 minute solution dance, 20 minute Booty Barre, 10 minute stretch. I did not feel very worked out at the end, even though the Booty Barre is quite challenging! I think I need to add some additional 10 minute workout dvd's to my arsenal. Today…

  • Sherrill: You are doing fantastic! You really are an inspiration :) Your gbaby girls have a great role model! Fitn: Yes, I need to mix it up more. I am such a creature of habit in that when I find something I like *and* it works, I tend to fear change. My biggest challenge is finding the level of exertion that satisfies…

  • Fitn, sounds like Shred is working for you! Update on my week: Already messed up my schedule, lol. The original plan: Tuesday: 30 min Amy Dixon, 20 min Yoga Wednesday: 40 Min ST (Turbo Sculpt) 10 min stretch What really happened: Tuesday: 40 Min ST (Turbo Sculpt) 15 min stretch (I used the 15 min dynamic stretch at the end…

  • FITN: I will try to follow your lead, I think you are right, it is may be easier to post the workouts pre-week rather than post. I remember it being less worrisome, if I had it mapped out instead of shooting from the hip. I really like your inclusion of the 5-10 minute meditation. SHERRILL: I am sorry for the frustration,…

  • I'm in for January! Sounds like a fun challenge with lots of variety to keep me from hitting the boredom wall!

  • Excellent news, Sherrill! :flowerforyou: Fitn: I think the inclusion of a couple workouts dedicated to kettle bell would be great, if everyone agrees. I also think it might be fun to challenge ourselves with creative ways to workout without dvd's...like hula hooping, jumping rope, stair running, etc. Maybe just 10 minute…

  • Abfit: Welcome! I relate to your resistance (lol) to strength training. However, as Fitn said, I have discovered that the combo of cardio and ST has really sped up the progress! Also the addition of stretching on a regular basis has really made a difference in my flexibility! Fitn: I am totally rooting you on, the Shred…

  • Hope you all had a fabulous holiday, I sure did! I missed my workouts for FOUR days! Holy cow! Back at it today with the good old dependable Turbo Jam! I am thinking about ordering another Amy Dixon workout, 'Breathless'. Looks fairly intense, definitely not dancey, but easy to grasp moves so that you can concentrate on…

  • Arg! No work out for me since Friday :/ I *hate* that! Hopefully will be able to get something in tomorrow, staying under my calories without a workout is HARD! Fitn: I do like Amy Dixon. The workouts aren't dancey, but they are fast paced and change direction regularly so the boredom factor is not an issue. And she is…

  • Sherrill, I applaud your plan! I hope your recovery is without complication! Friday: 40 min Amy Dixon (this is like a circuit training set) 10 min Yoga I tried to go 'light' with some dance workouts and just couldn't do it :/ I need that higher burn! If I am not sweating and breathing hard, it just doesn't feel like a real…

  • Drat! I hope your Wellness Formula kicks the tar out of 'it'. I hate it when I lose momentum! I got my 40 of cardio in today, was hoping to get another 10-20 of Yoga before the end of the night, but late night drop ins kinda messed that up. Ah well. Not sure what I am going to do tomorrow, might mix in some lighter stuff,…

  • Hi everyone! Sounds like good weekends for all! Sherrill, I had to LOL (in sympathy) re: your girls. Kids are so....special. :laugh: I hope your 5k went well! FitnFun: Your shopping workout sounds like a lot of fun! Interesting that one day off of Shred would cause you to be winded. It seems you are managing to stick with…

  • Well, being a creature of habit, and being short on time this morning, I defaulted back to TJ. I think I will do the Booty Barre on weekends when my schedule is more forgiving. Friday: 40 min TJ Saturday: 60 min Ballet/Pilates/ST+cleaning+shopping+Hubby's Christmas Party (warning!warning!danger!danger!) Sunday: TBD Have a…

  • Fitn: Sounds like you have a good plan! Thanks for mentioning the gloves, I have a pair of those somewhere, that could really make a difference. Sherrill: Holy WOW on your 5k! And how wonderful that your girls ran with you :) So very cool! You are so dedicated to your workouts, and I love how you include your grand…

  • I hope you feel better! Colds are so annoying in their ability to drain the energy right out of you :( Walks are a great way to get some movement without zapping you, good job! Sounds like you have a good plan in place for eating. We don't eat out often, but Subway is a favorite of mine. Today I fell back on good old TJ,…

  • FitnFun, I am very curious to see how you like the Shred. I think we are very similar in our tastes in workouts and the reason I have not picked the 30 day shred is exactly as you say, worried I will get bored/not enjoy it. I am looking forward to the Amy Dixon I ordered. Also going to take another stab at the Booty Barre…

  • Thanks for the new thread and challenge! Welcome back Sherrill, it sounds like your trip was amazing! I like the layout of the new challenge, giving room to adjust for personal preference and style :) My week was like this: 11/28 Monday: 40 min TJ+ 20 min Yoga 11/29 Tuesday: 40 min TSculpt + 20 TJ 11/30 Wednesday: 40 min…

  • Hi ladies :) I will second the challenging November. I gained two pounds over the holiday, but I knew I would gain so I built that into my long term plan. The cold is behind me (for now, lol) and I am back to my workouts. Fitn, I have increased my vit C along with Zinc. Thanks for the referral to the Wellness Formula!…

  • Hey ladies! Glad to see you :) Sounds like you both did very well for being out of town. I have been battling a blasted cold and have not had a workout since Friday :( I am on the mend and am determined to get at least a 20 minute something in tomorrow. Fitn; re: the book. It is not grabbing me, unfortunately. I don't know…

  • I am finding that I am a creature of habit, more so with each successive birthday, lol. My goal for this week is to mix it up a bit, as I feel I am getting to comfy with TJ and not challenging enough of my body parts. So what do I do on Monday? Out of reflex/habit, I put in the 20 TJ followed by the 40 min Turbo Sculpt! Ah…
