Cataddict sounds like you have a nice little veggie/flower garden going! Keep us posted on the Great Pole Bean Experiment. Green beans? Glad your hubby had a good PT session. I did some foam rolling yesterday and I think it made all the difference. So good to really get deep into those muscles. Does he use a tennis ball to roll out the bottom of his foot?
Kittybug score on the 30 lb bells! Go Mr. Kittybyg! Yay you for needing 30 lb bells! You're up there with
Kate TT. It's nice that that equipment is starting to become available again. Sorry that stress is still hanging around. I had a super stressful day yesterday, and it was no fun. Hope things get easier for you next week my friend.
Bee you're just ahead of us, doing Ramped Up this week. It makes me look forward to doing it!
Your hubby's younger days reminds me of mine. When my hubby graduated high school he was 5'11" and weighted 140 lbs. That is a CRAZY (and SCARY) story about the chainsaw! SO glad nothing bad happened!
FOLV good idea about spreading out the lunges throughout the day. I think I'll just do what I can. I don't want to be so wiped out from them that I can't (don't want to) work out the rest of the week. Kinda too bad they're at the beginning of the week. And YES on the colors of Cathe's bands! Hubby would approve! GO GATORS!
I haven't ordered Cathe's new workouts yet either. I might check Amazon for bands, but might not want to spend the time researching, so I'll probably just order Cathe's. Seems like there aren't any on Amazon that are any better than Cathe's and I know what I'm getting if I order from her.
ChelePA how are you feeling today? I like all of RWH, so you can't go wrong. I like Lower Body Circuit and am glad I have it, (it's worth having) but Legs is my fav! Lower Body Circuit is probably more similar to XTrain Cardio Legs than RWH Legs is.
Horusosiris what a happy accident that you were doing some of the same workouts! Sounds like you'll be joining us for more (hopefully). I also like 4DS better than CTX, but am glad to have both. I've actually combined workouts from both and they complement each other well. I wanted a longer kickboxing workout so I did both kickbox workouts from each series, creating my own premix. I also did the cardio form CTX, then the weights from 4DS, just for variety. They work well together.
Now on the to workouts:
Thursday: I was going to do Rock'm Sock'm, but wanted to do a LIVE workout, so I did Cathe LIVE Rock It Sock It #82, which is the LIVE version of Rock’m Sock’m. I read on 2Lazy's and FMS blogs that they liked the LIVE workout better than the dvd. It's similar to the dvd since it has cardio at the end. I LOVED it! Lots of FUN! I actually think I like Cathe's LIVE kickbox workouts better than the dvds because of the energy - hers and the class.
Friday I was SPENT - long, hard, mentally draining day. I was going to do S&S Bootcamp + abs, but was just too tired. Plus the weather was drippy, gray, and gross. So I did Metabolic Blast instead and it was a good call. Usually I do the premix that doubles the standing section and I use heavier weights, but I was so tired yesterday I did workout “as is”. No premixes and used light weights. I added BBW barbell deadlifts (2 sets of 15 reps - slow & heavy) + foam rolling, and was done. Enough for me on Friday. And it was the perfect workout for me that day.
Today I woke up feeling refreshed and ready for Strong & Sweaty Bootcamp + abs, and it was GREAT for today! Last time I did it I remember not really liking it, but today it felt really good! And the icing on the cake was the 60 Minute Deep Stretch Yoga Class - Five Parks Yoga I did afterwards. Now THAT felt GREAT. Just what my body needed after a week of Cathe.
Hugs and waves all! We've got the Derby on and are looking at all the hats. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
