Hi friends!
Today was the last STS Plyo Legs workout. A mix of several weighted exercises and unweighted plyo. Last week I used two 30s. This week I used two 20s. All the reps are 12-15 so I just kept it a little lighter.
I followed that with a Yoga practice on Gaia by Tiffany Bush called Sturdy Stretchy Hammies. It wasn't the greatest Yoga but it did have some really nice leg and hip stretches which was just what I needed after leg day.

Almost made it into full splits today.

Kate You're a rock star!!!!

Kim: I'm very short..5.1 and have short stocky legs. So when I can get into full splits I'm pretty happy.
Oh but wait...I haven't actually gotten all the way down into full splits since I was a teenager but I'm oh-so-close.

Thanks!!

Kate full splits ..wow! I have never been able to do that.

Kim you changed to a kitty in your avatar and I didn't know who you were, lol. Had already gotten used to other! I do have a pic of my kitty on my profile page here. I'd have to email if you still don't get your Cathes today. You are so close it makes no sense you shouldn't have by now.

Jules won the reviews race but, wow, how do you have the patience to do that long of a yoga /mobility workout? You know, I saw that premix and I thought..who will choose that? Well, I guess Cathe knows she has Jules. I only did the Mobility basics so far but loved it. I'm not doing the other workouts in the series yet.

Malinda a puzzle mat flooring in the Shred Shed would be better than the carpet I have now. That may or may not ever happen though.

Toughest workout I have done lately has been Les Mills Combat Kata. So..much..fun! Otherwise have been sticking to mobility, pilates and CS.

I'll come back and edit this post with more today ..so quick update did S90 Core dynamics and S90 Tabata Inferno and tacked on Cathe's Perfect 30 Mobility stretch premix.
Re: Kata..I can't do those knee jumps. I look like I'm trying to jump up a stair and missing it..haha!

Hearts and Hugs to all Fitchicks!!

PS Jules please keep us posted on your health and your family's.

Hey Gals! I'm a bit behind in the check-in here. Lots going on! My son is in quarantine as of this morning since one of his basketball teammates tested positive. Our school's principal also tested positive and my boss is waiting for the results of her test. I don't know if I will be considered a close contact or not? I feel fine.

I was running short on time this morning after all the craziness, so I did Travis' Short & Sweet #1. I might do something else after work.

Yesterday I did Travis' Short & Sweet #3 followed by Flexibility & Beyond: Short & Sweet. It is a Short & Sweet kind of week!

On Monday I did Flexibility & Beyond: Splits. (Kate - I am nowhere near doing the splits yet. You must be very flexible!) Sunday's workout was Shiva Rea's Yoga Shakti Solar Flow #1. This was quite challenging for me. I don't have a good wall for handstands where I work out.

Malinda- Your workout room sounds fab! I had to give mine up to my kids but I will get it back some day.

Kate: P.E. class with your grandbaby sounds like a blast!

Kim: Fingers crossed your DVDs arrive soon!

Linda: Love Kata! Nice work.

horusosiris: Did you try Mobility yet?

Linda I saw Minnie Pearl on your profile page. Such a cutie! Is that your photo too I saw? I love being able to see what each of us looks like. You're looking mighty fierce!

And yes, that's my lil mischievous furball on my step.

Oh! I am impressed!

Happy Thursday

I did Cathe Live 320 Halloween Live today and I had so much fun! I laughed and laughed and laughed. Cathe had two others with her today and it was nice to see them.

Jules- I hope everyone is okay and the test results come back negative. I have done the mobility workout and I liked it.

Mickey - funny about the kata jumps!

Linda- are you doing a S90 rotation? I have not done those workouts in so long that I can hardly remember them. I do remember that they felt a bit rushed. Is that your impression?

[KateTT]

Hi girls!
Today I tried a couple of totally untried workouts. I have been dreading STS Step Moves and Athletic Step. I have never ever done them since the day I got Shock Cardio.
Now I know why.
So Step Moves wasn't actually too bad although I got lost on some of the choreography. Luckily you repeat it enough I could catch on, but never did give it my all as I was still figuring out the steps.
Then I added on Athletic Step. Nope...got so totally lost on the moves and Cathe really cues late on both of them. But I tried and now I've done them. I must say I probably won't do them again and I have other Cathe step workouts that I like much better.

Oh well. I had to try them though.

No Yoga yet...later.

Linda, did you name your cat Minnie Pearl or did she come with that name? That's a famous name from the past for sure. (not that I'm trying to figure out how old you are or anything )
