Today I did Michelle Briehler's Mid-Section Melt. This workout was challenging for me, but I don't often do a lot of the moves in this workout. And bicycles with ankle weights are tough! My abs were burning!
Erica- My triceps were a little sore after Chris & Edi's workout, but not too bad. I'm glad to hear your dh is home safely. And your son is in Indonesia. Wow! How exciting! Is it for work or a vacay? buffmama- I'm impressed with your workout schedule along with teaching pilates. You go! I'm happy to announce that in 3 months time I am down 22 pounds of the 30 pounds I regained over the past few years. I'm surprised as I did indulge in treats over Christmas and didn't eat great or work out for a week while traveling to visit family. Now to see if I can lose the last 8 pounds by spring. ![]()

Today was growinganannas 30 min Legs & Booty. No rest for the weary (or anyone else) here as there is no rest between exercises. I restarted Yoga with Tim's Beginner Meditation - it's short + sweet and calming. Teaching this morning and hopefully scheduling a few more.
![]() Wendy - Good job on the weight loss! When/if it slows down, just tell yourself that will aid in keeping it off. Better fitting/more comfortable clothes - ![]() Erica - Nourishmovelove would probably work with my pilates teaching. I look forward to your reviews. Hoping your son enjoys his trip - how exciting!

Today was Day 13 back/biceps of Chris and Edi's build program (again).
Have any of you done workouts by Vera LaRo? I've subscribed to her channel for a while but haven't tried any of her workouts yet. Since Chris/Edi post a new push workout each week but not a traditional back/biceps workout (some are posterior chain instead of back/biceps), I was thinking of doing a back/biceps workout by Vera. I would love for my clothes to fit better. I have been really struggling since my injury and keep gaining. My clothes either don't fit at all or are very snug. It's so hard. I used to maintain (of course with disordered eating/exercise) but since my injury I just keep slowly gaining. Erica |

Sorry to hear you are frustrated with the after-effects of your injury. I've been watching Redefining Strength videos on YT. She gives many helpful tips on training and diet.

Today I had to do a bit of shoveling snow, well, more like sleet. It was an icy layer that made everything slippery so I wanted to clear as much of it away before the temperature plunges and it really turns into sheets of ice.
My abs are a bit sore today from Michelle's Midsection melt workout so I just did some mobility work- Movement Parallels Life- 20 min. bodyweight workout. I was surprisingly warm with this workout and it felt good.

Hey guys! I'm just popping in to say that I kept up with my workouts last week. I start Hero Week 2 tomorrow and I hope to do Mossa Group Fight 19 on Wednesday. We will bury grandmother who passed on the 20th. She was 103 years old and 6 months when she passed. I saw her shortly before she passed and knew it would be soon. She survived COVID and I personally thing she had long COVID. She was not doing well before COVID but that took it out of her. I'm relieved she is no longer miserable.
I spent a couple of hours on school work Friday night and most of the day Saturday. I hope you all have a great week!

growinganannas DB Upper Body was my 'main' workout. It was what I expected but not a favorite. Core work was included and lots of renegade rows. I added in DB pullovers and some tricep presses. I'm repeating Yoga with Tim's Beginner Meditation - sitting with Tim for 5 min a day is just easy.
I am working on 2 pilates classes to teach and have a pilates class I'm taking later. Taught a class yesterday that went well ![]() Erica - I did one or two classes with Vera and found some of her moves awkward. We just didn't click. Angela - Hope you got to rest Sunday! Wendy - I like the look of Movement Parallels Life but simply have nowhere to add those in.

Today's workout was a tough one- Daniel PT - 45 Minute Quadzilla Lower Body Workout. My legs are jelly after this and I did tons of stretching. He talks in this workout which is unusual, but he wanted to count out slow reps which I appreciated so I didn't need to look at the screen. If you are in the mood for squats, give this workout a try.
![]() buffmama- Yes, some of Vera's moves are awkward. She likes to do a punching move with too heavy of weights. My shoulders don't like that move at all, and most kickboxing workouts recommend not going too heavy with weights while punching.
