Tuesday's workout was
Cathe - Slim and Trim - 35 minutes This is the first of the three original barre type workouts that came with the purchase of the FitTower. I really like all three of them - and wish she would make more, but I know that's not likely. I also have the three FitTower workouts she made and sells directly on her website, as well as a couple of the Cathe Live FitTower workouts. I need to try them out while I have my FitTower put together. I'm thinking of a loose rotation of these DVDs and using Jenny Ford's walks as my cardio. I'm not sure about the new Cathe's yet. I'm wondering if my hands can handle her bands. These three original FitTower workouts use a flat band, so I'll see how my hands hold up doing these. The other school district in our metro area that went mask optional two weeks ago had to send 40 kids home last week from one school for quarantine and another 50+ from another school yesterday, after they had 5 positive cases there - 3 students and 2 staff members. I don't understand how parents can't see that this is going to happen to their children. We expect to see a lot more of these instances in the remaining 6 weeks of school. We get heat every day from parents over the mask requirement. Sigh... Donna - The Jessica Valant workout was on YouTube and is the one where she had the light green pants on. Linda - I've got to agree with Dana - if your internet isn't very good, then I wouldn't waste the money on streaming. It's funny - I can usually easily stream stuff from YouTube and even from GHUTV, but in the past I've had tons of trouble trying to stream Pilates By Lisa and even some trouble trying to stream Barre3.

Dana and Carol thank you. I needed to hear that.
Dana if you try the Kristin workout I would be interested to hear your thoughts! Donna that makes sense. I think it's more important to move and vary it ..and you certainly do. Honestly, all of you do a great job of keeping variety in your workouts. Started Week 2 of the push pull swing challenge and am glad I am using light weight. Headed to do a Yogazone for healthy back or something like that. New to me, but an old workout. Looking forward to it. Happy Midweek wishes to you guys !!

Hi Everyone,
I went back to the Jessica Smith WS 1.0, Phase II Rotation (w/ modifications by me!) today! I have two weeks left and I would like to finish it out. it is a good rotation with a lot of variety- it can easily be made into a generic template. Anyway, today was: Jessica Smith - 6 Mile Mix - Steady Burn Mile & Speed Walk mile - this was a substitute for Interval Max on the Phase II rotation. Jessica Valent - Hip and Hamstring Release Yesterday I went on a short walk, too. We are supposed to have some crazy weather changes today w/ temps dropping 20-30 degrees - it sounds like where Carol lives, LOL. Speaking of Carol, I just don't understand those parents either. I'm somewhat tempted by B3 but I do like variety and I'm not sure how much I would use it over the course of a year. I think I do better w/ subscription hopping, even though the per month charge is greater that way - but I also don't usually end up spending $ on something I don't use. Right now I have Ellen and Jessica V and I'm happy with both of those and use them a few times a week. That isn't to say I wouldn't mind a month or two of B3 but I am not sure I would use it for a year! Margaret Richard has a 3 month special, I'm more tempted by that. Thinking i can do her workouts 4X per week and then mix with some cardio and Pilates and fusion.....I find her stuff to be low dread enough! Hope everyone has a good day! Donna |
