Begun well

Mon - Cathe - Step Blast - Combos 1,2,3 Mix, 6"
in awful humitidy and when it was still quite warm after a hot day.
immediately followed by 90min dog walk

Tue - Cathe - Intensity Series - Terminator - Imax Extreme
all at once, 6", only modified tuck jumps, plie jacks, & fast feet straddles as when tired, a missed footting can mean a knee 'wobbly'.
45min dog walk, rain sent us home.

I haven't even done a simple step or cardio DVD in a couple years. You are way more daring than I am. You are at least being smart by modifying.


Heather Fierce 14 Done. I loved every workout. I really should run through it again in the near future seeing if I can increase any weights. I had no dread. Dare I say, I liked these better than Caroline G.

On to Daniel Force series.
