Hi Watulans!
Today I did Cathe Live #83 Crush It Low Impact. This was a good short workout pre-doctor visit and I enjoyed it. I thought "this is how to do low impact that has some intensity." During Anna's low impact I was thinking "this is low impact, low intensity" although I did modify up and liked the music and I like her. So the doctor "thinks" it's severe inflammation but is putting in an order for an ultrasound to rule out a blood clot. Hopefully that should happen within a few days. I'm glad I went, and crossing my fingers that the anti-inflammatory meds I'm now on for a few days until we establish it's not a clot will do the trick. Dr. also told me no running (not a problem), no jogging (also not a problem) or high impact (which I haven't really been doing much of anyway) until we know more. DH finds out tomorrow if he has more cast and boot time so also crossing my fingers for him as he is getting somewhat---how should I put this---patience challenged? Chele, I'm guessing your family roots for the Phillies maybe the Mets? Anyway if you are a Phillies fan--we were watching the Cardinals v the Phillies the other day and listening to John Kruk was so darn entertaining! He told this story about how changing a light bulb on his ceiling fan ended up costing him around $3000 and DH and I were hysterical laughing! Yes, not baseball related but funny nonetheless. horusosiris, here is a link to clips from the new Cathes---they are the background banner at the top of the page for some reason since they aren't related to Ripped with HiiT! https://cathe.com/rwh/ Oh, and I will look at the price difference with and without downloads as I am attempting to digitize my DVD collection including the premixes. It's a lot of work and I have a lot still to do so it "may" be worth it to let them do it for me. I don't have the big bands so I'll also look at her pricing to see if they are in line with what I can get elsewhere for comparable quality. I would be fine if my bands don't have Cathe's name on them. bee, I just can't do the grocery pick up deal. I've seen who is doing the shopping in my store and, well, um, nope. Do you have them pick out produce as well? I don't think I could trust someone else to do it. It's enough of a challenge to trust DH to do it! I'm glad it's working out for you. I can't say I've enjoyed taking over the grocery shopping for DH so I wish it would work for me. I am jealous at you being able to plant. I'm still schlepping the plants I bought in and out of the garage every day as the temps are just crazy. 80 one day, 60 the next and expecting lows in the 40s overnight on Wednesday. Fortunately we haven't gotten our vegetables yet but I'm getting antsy. Nathalie, I don't do a lot of band work but when I do it I like it and think I should do more. I tend to use the same band and tighten or loosen my grip to get a challenge. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't work too well. I really liked the band stretch I did yesterday. FN1, giggling at FACM. To me that would mean cleaning our walk in shower which is tile and glass. Ugh. And cleaning the toilets would be the cherry on top of FACM! manley and Chele, I think you have talked me in to trying Heather's Power Hour. As long as she doesn't talk and repeats are minimal it sounds good to me! I also really like the cute leopard shorts she has worn in a couple of the workouts. Waves to Kim, Kate, FOLV and Garrie!

I came here for workout inspiration...... I didn't sleep well last night and I'm just generally tired. Didn't start my workout right away because of things going on here and now I just don't want to work out. Now I'm thinking about doing Pop. We'll see......
Chele, I wish I could send you to our dentist! He is known for his cosmetic dentistry and my oldest son had to have a bunch of work done! A "peg tooth" I think they call it, that had to be built up, some veneers done and I don't know what else. It was insane, but his teeth look so good now. My younger son broke his front tooth off straight across when he was younger. His pediatric dentist glued it back and said it'll hold for "some amount of time". Well, right before the pandemic it broke and so our dentist had to fix that, too. The color is not quite right on that one, but very close. The dentist really wanted to go one more round and get it perfect but my son we freaked out about the pandemic and just wanted it done. He doesn't care as much as the older one. And now that's way too much info for you.... I hope you can find someone good!! horusosiris, I think there are definitely a lot of lessons about ourselves and people we know from this last year. Unfortunately they're not all good lessons, you know? But it does seem a good thing to reflect on. Ok, I'm going to try to get psyched to do some workout. Have a great day!!

Oh you fierce and funny Watulans! I love reading your posts!
cataddict: do you think more stretching would help your leg? Or foam rolling? Hope it gets better soon. I am a terrible patient and sometimes exercise through the irritation. Kim: I exercise because I like it too. I LOVE it! I don't play any sports anymore so my workouts are my thing now. I've been working out since I was a kid with my Dad. Now it's just part of my life. kittybug: If we're all nuts then we're in a great group! You are very welcome! I was once told in an office I worked at, that I was like the office cheerleader. I can live with that. Freaking Awful Chore Max!!!! LOL Linda: Ditto=nuts manleym: I'm nuts, you're nuts, we're all nuts! (they're coming to take me away..haha, heehee, hoho) bee: good news on shot #2! Ooh Total Body Giant Sets IS a good one. Hmmmm. Can I fit in in somewhere? hee Nathalie: good to "see" you!! I hope to start planting here too in May. I started a few flower seeds inside. I'm anxious to get started. ChelePA: I am still thinking about Cathe's newest. The band looks cool but I need to see previews. So here's this week so far. Mon: Cathe Live 309 Push Pull Total Body Heavy Weights. I bought this one a while back. VERY good weight work! I love the push/pull format. I also have her original older Push/Pull. Yoga was PY with Bryan and One Burp Zero Lunges. Yes he belches once quite loud. BK is like that. LOL. No lunges but not easy and he still manages to cook the legs and butt with some balance work. Fun I love his stuff! Tues: Body Combat #36. A bit older and tons of fun! I still say kickboxing is my favorite form of cardio. Yes I like step and floor stuff but kickboxing appeals to my "fierce". Yoga was from Gaia and Ashleigh Seargent Flow to Slow. I have never done any of her practices but I was looking for a good slow Hatha practice. Good. Today I did Tony Horton's One on One Vol 3, Disc 11: P.A.P (Post Activation Potentiation). I just love his One on Ones! He's so silly but the workouts are fun and challenging. This one alternates strength moves, plyo, and flexibility moves. Mostly all bodyweight except for some lunges and plank rows. I used my 25s for those. Feeling it. Lots of pushups too. So far I've changed my Tues and Wed planned workouts and I like my substitutions! Sometimes I just have to pick out something fun! Yoga to come. Happy Camel Bump Day.

One Burp Zero Lunches!!!! That's hilarious. Made my day. Sounds like a good one!
I'm back to report I did Pop and it was exactly what I needed!! When I don't sleep well I cannot think about any impact, so this was perfect. I was definitely huffing and puffing. Two observations..... is it my imagination or does Heather not cover back work enough? And..... for any Grey's fans..... does she remind anyone besides me of Teddy? Oh.... and I forgot to tell you guys the other day when I did Giant Sets..... at some point I realized I had been working with one 12 pound and one 10 pound weight.

Hi Friends! Quick check in. Hope to back back to respond and read in more detail because I somehow missed the "One Burp Zero Lunches" post, which sounds like a must read! Hope to catch up later.
But, Cataddict I'm glad you saw the dr and were already doing what he suggested. Praying for no clots! And ChelePA sorry your tooth didn't hold. Hoping you can get it fixed soon. So this week I'm doing Heather's week 4 rotation even more out of order than the previous weeks. Mostly because it fits my schedule better, but this week I wondered if the workouts would feel differently if they were done in a different order. Maybe not, but so far I like the order I'm doing the workouts. I'm sure it really doesn't matter much though. Monday I did Heather's week 4 Day 4: Kettlebell HIIT Workout and loved it! It was a great workout, maybe not as intense as week 3's KB, but I would do this one again. I added her Recovery Workout Stretch + Relaxation and liked it alot too. Tuesday I did Day 1: Leg Day Warm Up Routine + HIIT Booty Bootcamp and LOVED it! It wasn't super intense, but I loved the moves & the variety (bands, weights, cardio) + Brutal HIIT Workout for Legs, Glutes + Thighs. This workout was more cardio intense then Bootcamp, but that was a good thing. The 2 workouts paired really well together. Today I'll do Day 2 - upper body, Friday I'll do Day 3 - Pop Workout + optional, and Saturday Day 6. Gotta run! Back later fierce friends! |
