Oh Miss Kitty! Thank you so much for your thoughts on the IMAXes!! That really helps although I still haven't decided which step workout to do next. LOL
Bchgrl42: Welcome to our fierce club. Yes YOU TOO!! No matter what level you're at. Glad you joined us! I LOVE kickboxing and the more I do, the more toned my arms and shoulders get. Can't seem to get rid of the loose underarm skin though. Oh well. Manley: I have a love/hate relationship with tuck jumps. Sometimes the ol' legs are just too heavy! I also like how basic it is so you can just put all your energy into the moves. ChelePA: I always use my weighted gloves when I do boxing/kickboxing workouts. Really ups the intensity. I have two pair. 1.5lb and a 3lb pair. Those get tough! Today I took a slight detour and did Peak 10 More Cardio Strength. I still have several untried Michelle workouts too, so will sneak those in with Cathe. Tough stuff, lots of intense cardio, but I love these workouts! They humble me because I only use 8s and 10s but Michelle's pace is fast and many of the exercises would be unsafe with too heavy a weight. Yup, that's my excuse. ;-) Seriously though, really good metabolic workout. Cathe and Michelle go good together. Look at all the different kinds of FIERCE we have in this room!

Rev'd Up Rumble is good. Scrambled Premix #1 is my go-to for RUR. Check it out if you want to really kick it up a notch and want a longer workout than the main one. Wearing weighted gloves is a great way to increase the intensity. Might think about a weighted vest too. Hmmm.... |

I'm going to do the original Imax tonight. I'll let you all know how I do; it's not one I've done in many, many years. Kim |

KateTT, I'm glad I'm not the only one whose legs feel like boulders when doing tuck jumps! They are probably my LEAST favorite exercise!
Yay for doing Cardio Strength! It is NOT easy! So much fun and a GREAT workout! I love Peak 10 workouts too!! You definitely can't go heavy with these! I'm so impressed you're using 8's and 10's! I think I use 5's and 8's!! |

Bchgrl42 let me just say there's nothing wrong with relying on beginner workouts for periods of time. I am confident your body called for you to back off if not physically then mentally. Maybe one day we will understand these ebb and flows we have to undergo as we adapt to our hormones. Until then, I refuse to call it wimping out or anything along those lines. We gotta listen to our body. Then something will happen...and you'll want to challenge yourself.
Like I don't know...Someone named kittybug may casually propose w rock your body party? Then a Manley and Kim or so will say yeah... let's roll girl! But in all of it, you'll find that it's a-okay to sometimes challenge yourself...and sometimes rest. Fierce ALWAYS..either way Pure strength chest and MIS chest worked well for me. The warm-up on PS is nice and long. THE chest tempo in MIS a little quicker and she varies the counts so I had to lower my weight on my barbell but I was a shaky lady at the end but not in a bad way because it felt just right. I once again for both workouts alternated between pushups and my pull-up progression modification instead of only doing push-ups. I don't know about the PS cooldown because I HAD to answer the call of Tracie and do mobility exercises from her new Sig Series 1. Kim wishing you good luck on IMAX!! Kate you're so right! We are all different kinds of Fierce here. Manley I don't do tuck jumps...I think I'm doing hopskotches :-P ChelePA can you compare Revd up rumble to Kickmax? That's the only Cathe kickbox workout I have.

KateTT and Manleym, another tuck jump hater here!! Sometimes they're not so bad but the double tucks in Imax in the last interval? UG!! Yes, Kim, report back on the Imax party!! ChelePA, you and Manleym and KateTT are fierce with your weighted gloves! And KateTT, la la la on the Michelle Dozois of whom I know nothing and nope, don't need any more enabling, la la la...can't hear you! So I just finished Gym Style Back, Shoulders, and Biceps and felt STRONG, which is in contrast to how I felt all the other days this week. And now that I'll be moving on to adding in the Sash Series next week, I have some thoughts on the Gym Styles after doing them in their entirety for the last three weeks. Usually the first time I do a Cathe strength workout, I'm really sore the first time but not so much subsequent times unless I don't do that workout again for months. Not with the Gym Styles. I have been SORE for days after each one, all three weeks. They just never, ever get any easier, do they? And then this happened..the other day, I was getting dressed and noticed this dark spot on my right arm, right above my elbow. I tried to rub it away, but it wasn't a smudge...and then I thought WHY does it look like I have a hole in my arm? Did I tear a muscle? (quickly checks other side) Oh, no, I have one on my left arm too. (moves arms up and down and realizes...) OH...that's, like, an indentation near where my muscle inserts at the front of the elbow, because my biceps muscle is popping out above it! Like, I suddenly have a bit of definition that wasn't there before! Dunno how long that will last, but it's kinda cool right now! Stay fierce, friends!! |
