HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANLEYM! Your birthday sounds heavenly.
Today I did The Firm's Jiggle Free Buns (from the TransFirmer series) followed by two segments from Core Fusion Glutes & Thighs (Pretzel and Kneeling Gluteal Toner). My glutes are already feeling some DOMS! Kim: For step and cardio, I tend to stick to the same choreography for several weeks, layering on a few changes here and there each week. If my students don't feel ready for certain layer changes, I don't add them in. The class is my barometer. Sometimes I will bring back certain combos that are my favorites and either change them up or keep them the same. For strength classes, I change it up every time. Cataddict: Yes, I have that CIA! It's 9803, with a hi/lo workout led by Greg Twombly (Heather Day leads part of it) and a double step workout by Sue Gent and Dottie Lee. That was the workout that got me interested in doubles. The choreography is fun and both instructors cue impeccably. Only quibbles are that the choreo isn't all tapless (I don't mind as a participant but I do as an instructor) and the music--while two of my favorite CIA soundtracks--has been way overused. Seasun Zieger also did a bonus double section in "The Next Step" but there is very little breakdown. Bee: I saw your thread on Gen. Discussion. This is the spin bike I have: Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B1423. It does a great job, and was fairly easy to assemble (for a handyman challenged person like me). My only quibble is with regards to the onboard computer. It doesn't track RPMs but tracks MPH, time, distance, and "calories burned" (which differs significantly from my FitBit). I purchased a cadence sensor from Amazon yesterday that tracks RPMs and has already been shipped. Also, the brake pad needs to be sprayed/lubricated before use, otherwise it squeaks like crazy during heavy hill climbs. I use the Peloton app from my Roku. Kittybug: You crack me up! We all need rest days. Waves all around!

Beyond excited for my birthday gift...my family just bought me a Stryde bike...woohoo!!! I miss cycling so much! Hopefully, it will be here within the week. I plan on using the Peloton app in the beginning. I'm sure I can find some awesome free YouTube videos too. If anyone has any recommendations, I'm all ears
On a funny side note, my daughter says to me the other day...I have been trying to talk dad out of his idea for your gift, but he's not listening to me. I think I am going to buy my own separate gift because I don't like his idea. She's like do you want a fitness watch or something related to exercise. She then says I wish dad would just get you the Peloton like I recommended. As you can tell, she's not one for surprises. But she wouldn't tell me the crazy idea. Then she starts asking who my favorite singer and actor are. I told him Hugh Jackman and Kelly Clarkson...anyone else? As the questions continue, I realize exactly what my husband's idea was. And the only reason is because Facebook has been showing me ads for days now on the subject in my news feed...although I'm not the one searching for information. Scary!!! Yes that's right, he wanted to pay for a cameo birthday wish with a famous celebrity. My daughter knows me well...she says mom will freak with the waste of hundreds of dollars and they are all B level...haha. So glad he finally listened to her birthday thoughts...he told me ahead of time because he was afraid to purchase the wrong thing. I'm glad he did because I like the idea of a bike similar to the Peloton but not locked into the 40 dollar per month fee for a year to access their routines. The app is so much cheaper. Plus with this bike I can stream any class. |

I used to have that Season Zeiger double step workout but I gave it away. I didn’t like the regular step routine and I didn’t have two steps (or the space for them) to do the double step workout. Garrie your classes sound like so much fun.
ChelePA so funny about your family trying to figure out a birthday gift for you. It’s very sweet that your husband puts so much effort into finding a meaningful gift for you. The new spin bike is SUPER exciting!! Woo hoo for you! Kittybug I didn’t get my Ingrid DVDs yet. Does anybody else want to join in doing them? ManleyM your dinners always sound so good, yum! I love daffodils too. Mine are starting to pop up around the house but they usually start too early and we get a late storm that kills them. Not every year, but too frequently for me. I have some in the center of the yard that come up later and don’t get ruined by late storms. Have a great day, everyone.
