Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Upper Body 2 and a fast 20 minute spin. This is the end of my 12 week STS hybrid rotation! I am really glad I did this rotation because it has taught me a lot about how the programs differ and how to better use them in a combined rotation. And it really taught me that I need to cut down…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Lower Body 2 and Cathe Live Cardio Core Express. It was a perfect combo, which is good because now I get to go mow the lawn. :o Wish me luck in that the mower and I get along today since we have a very iffy relationship. :D Thelma, great workouts. We had a surprising amount of rain all…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was a tough but enjoyable 45 minute spin and 20 minutes of Peloton Pilates. Thelma, great workouts. I am glad your bicep is feeling better with lighter weights. Thanks for the article on the weighted vest. I do a lot of walking, and it probably would be of benefit to me to use the vest for a part…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Upper Body 1 and Gloved Up and Sweaty. I went really heavy on the 2.0 workout, and it felt great. That being said, I think I have almost talked myself in to taking about a month off STS before starting my STS 1&2 rotation. Right now I am thinking about one week off (vacation week), a week…

Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was good with some lovely spring weather. We spent our time on errands and yard work and a little relaxation yesterday because it was DHs birthday. For workouts, on Saturday I did a walk with Jessica and Peloton yoga. Yesterday was Party Rockin’ Step 1, and today was 2.0…

Hi Thelma! My workout today was 2.0 Total Body Super Sets and a 45 minute spin. I actually got some sleep last night and felt much better today than I did yesterday. It is amazing what a little sleep can do. :) Great workouts! I can’t believe you graduated to dumbbells already!! That is amazing! Every progression you are…

Hi Thelma! My workout today was Cathe Live Rock’em Sock’em, which I did live with her this morning. This was a low impact boxing and kickboxing workout, and another great addition to this growing library of moderate boxing workouts Cathe has been doing, including the Gloved Up and Sweaty DVD. I followed it with 20 minutes…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was STS Meso 2 Disc 24/Back and Biceps, a 20 minute spin and 10 minutes of yoga. Thelma, great workouts!! I had to do a double take when I read that you did a Cathe workout. Great job!! I bet that felt good, and you chose a great workout to do. My legs are not nearly as sore today as I expected…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was STS Meso 2 Disc 23/Legs followed by Rev’d Up Rumble, Abs 1 and Extended Stretch 1 from the LITE series. My legs were screaming during that STS workout. The kickboxing seemed to help, but I think I am going to be very sore tomorrow. Thelma, great workouts. DH bought us some eclipse glasses as…

Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was busy but nice. Saturday we spent on some lawn and house chores and errands. Yesterday was a beautiful spring day so we decided to put down some mulch, clean out and lay down new pine straw behind our backyard, and finish our under-the-deck project from November that…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Triceps with bonuses and an interesting 45 minute metrics spin. I had never heard of a ‘metrics’ spin and the name still doesn’t make much sense to me, but it is a spin where the instructor basically talks only to cue pace and resistance changes. Given that some instructors talk…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Back with Bonuses, the core work from Power Hour and Cathe Live Low Impact Cardio HiiT. Thelma, I am so glad you didn’t get hit too hard by the storm. It is blustery and chilly here right now, and I am beyond ready for spring to arrive. DH and I were sitting outside last night…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Legs and a 45 minute climb ride. Peloton does few 45 minute rides anymore and even fewer climb rides, so when I saw this one on the platform, I knew I needed to do it. And it was fantastic. My legs will be barking tomorrow but it was worth it. :) Thelma, great workout. I’ve seen…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Chest with Bonuses, and the cardio and core work from 4DS Kickboxing. So much fun. :) Thelma, great workouts. I hope the yoga class goes well today. We rarely see hummingbirds this time of year and, like you, I think it is because we don’t have the right plants that are blooming…

Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was good. Saturday was a beautiful day and we spent it working in the yard. It felt so nice to be in the sunshine for awhile. Yesterday was warm but cloudier. We enjoyed a nice Easter breakfast, then did a couple of things in the yard followed by a long walk and quiet time on…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Lower Body 2, the core work from Cardio and Weights and a fun 20 minute spin. I still feel very energetic today, so the workout yesterday must not have been too much. But I made myself limit my cardio today so tomorrow I will be good. DH will be home and we have tons to do in our yard, so…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Upper Body 2 followed by Cathe Live Live Me Some Cardio Kickboxing. This was one of those [increasingly rare] days where I felt so strong and so energetic during both workouts, which are both close to an hour long. :o I took fully advantage of it, but don’t think I will be feeling the…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was a 45 minute spin followed by 20 minutes of Peloton Pilates. Thelma, great workouts. I am glad your appointment went well. If you can get your hand that far up your back, you are doing amazing! No doubt it will be nice to be able to go back to yoga. I have never seen a body blade before but…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Lower Body 1, 2.0 Standing Metabolic Core and Cathe Live Box and Burn. It all felt good. Thelma, great workouts and yay for being able to do some impact! I bet it felt good just to get your body moving differently again. I hope all goes well with the doctor today. I bet he is impressed by…

Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. DH made it home on Saturday only to leave again this morning. But it was nice having him here for those two days and, after Friday when he gets home again, it looks like he will be home for several weeks before his next trip, which makes me happy. We spent his time home doing some…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was a quick 15 minute spin, 2.0 Trisets Total Body and the core work from 4DS Kickbox. That total body workout was tough today! Every time I do one of the 2.0 Total Body workouts, I marvel that we did a three week rotation doing three of these workouts each week. What were we thinking? :D Thelma,…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was a 45 minute spin and Cathe Live Strong and Fit Core and Stretch. I enjoyed both workouts a lot today. Thelma, I am sorry about the blah day. Take care of yourself and listen to your body. Hopefully you will feel better soon. I think we do have some controlled burns, but not particularly close…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was STS Meso 2 Disc 21/Back and Biceps followed by Cathe Live Cardio Core Express. Thelma, great workouts. You are making such great progress with your shoulder. I feel for that lady you met. That has to be so frustrating. I am so glad you are not in that position. It was surprisingly chilly…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was STS Meso 2 Disc 17/Legs, a 20 minute spin and 30 minutes of Peloton Pilates. I have to admit, as I continue to reduce my cardio lengths, the more I look forward to my workouts. :o I don’t know if I would feel the same way if I wasn’t doing such tough strength workouts, but I can figure that…

Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Mine was quiet as DH is away with work again right now. I spent my time on some chores, but also did a lot of reading and working on a puzzle. It was very relaxing. For workouts, on Saturday I did Jessica Smith Build Balance Core Control and 30 minutes of yoga. Yesterday was a 30…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Triceps with bonuses, a 30 minute spin, and Cathe’s Live class from last week which was Weight Plate Core. It was a solid 25 minute core workout using plates, but I subbed in dumbbells instead because of the kind of plates I have. It was a surprisingly tough workout having me…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Back with Bonuses and Cathe Live Cardio Core Express. Both felt great today. Thelma, great workouts. I am glad the weighted vest is working for you. Like Laurie said, a 10# vest will probably be a little bit better. I know I have never been inclined to go heavier than 10#, but…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Legs with Bonuses, a 30 minute spin and 10 minutes of core focused yoga. Thelma, that sounds like a very long day. If your PT takes more than an hour, I think it definitely qualifies as a workout. I am glad they don’t see any sign of reinjury. I know that slowing down on the…

Hi Ladies! Today’s workout was 2.0 Body Part Chest with Bonuses and Gloved Up And Sweaty with the Jump Rope Bonus, which was the first time I have done that bonus. I didn’t use a jump rope for the bonus, but I wanted to see if it was a decent add-on and it’s okay. She alternates four one minute segments of jump rope with…

Hi Ladies! I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Ours was filled with errands and chores, plus a nice walk on Saturday. Yesterday DH mowed the lawn for the first time this season. :o It seems really early for that, but it was super long. In fact, most of our neighbors were mowing as well, despite the cold weather. I think the…
