Happy Tuesday, Watulans!
Today I did Travis' 'Eye of the Storm' 90-minute practice. Dang, these longer practices in that 'digital retreat' he has on YouTube are kinda killer! I'm still so sore from Ingrid and thought this would help but geez, I was hurting! I feel better now though. I want to work my way through all of those longer ones, they're yummy! Bee, your rockin' post made me laugh so hard for some reason!! I think it was the visual I got from your 'cave' description, hah! KateTT, YAY on Imax 3!!!! I've been doing that one regularly for the last several weeks now and it has become a favorite. I think it would be so fun to meld the hardest blasts from Imax 2 with the hardest ones from Imax 3 and create a new Imax workout. I think. Hah!!! Horusosiris, I'm ashamed I'm still acquiring DVDs when like you, I know I can't get through them all any time soon, but I have serious FOMO because I spent years not really buying much and getting rid of what I had. What was I thinking??? Hope you all are doing well...special wishes to ChelePA and her daughter for that too! Stay fierce, Watulans!

I'm terribly behind on my congratulations. Cataddict AMAZING on the barbell weight. OMG, you're crazy fierce!!!
Bee woo hoo to you for tackling Cardio Core Circuit!!! That one is so darn hard! Great job! Kate good for you for trying and perfecting Imax3!! I didn't doubt you for a second. You're the original fierce one around here. Today I did an oldie but a goodie, Gin Miller's Simply Interval Short and Sweet. It's 43 minutes of short athletic step cardio segments with intensity blasts at the end of each one. She gives a good amount of rest between the segments which I very much appreciate. This one is really fun and goes by so quickly. I love Gin and she gets silly at the end which always makes me smile. Good stuff. My Ingrid Romero Edge Booty workouts came. My calendar is completely flexible for when we do one/some together. I would like to start with the first one though, disc one, weighted legs. I can do it on any day that suits the rest of you. Bee I was also laughing about your description of the workout today. You always keep me smiling. Kate while I, like Horusosiris have so many workouts that I could not do them all for several years, I am interested in what you might want to get rid of. I will check out your exchange list and possibly PM you. ChelePA I thought of your family often today and said some prayers.

horusosiris: I have several of BJ's dvds too. I get his emails and he does offer some free workouts on YouTube but I just haven't had the time to dive into them. I think he's harder than Paul, at least compared to the 4x4 set. I also get more DOMS with MSX. Yes I am using the occlusion wraps and fat grips so far.
kittybug: I was so happy to get thru Imax3 that I'm going to do it again tomorrow. Great idea about putting together some of the Imaxes! Travis rocks! Kim: far from perfecting I3, but I did a lot better than I thought. Linda: Only downsizing because I have so many other workouts I'd rather do. And yet I've just purchased or traded for more. Good stuff today! Ow my legs and butt! MetaShred Extreme MetaPocalypse Lower. Partially band work, partially weights, some bodyweight. These always get me and I'm currently using some pretty heavy bands but leaving room to grow. Just about ready to hop onto PowerYoga site for a little BK. Smile!!!

Just wanted to stop in and tell everyone how much I truly appreciated the love and kindness regarding my daughter’s surgery. Everyone in the house is sleeping. Rough day yesterday. But she’s doing a little better today.
Funny story despite all the stress. My daughter waited to go to the bathroom as we were leaving NYC. As you all know, very difficult to find public restrooms these days with Covid. She was in so much pain and thought she might not make it. All those IV fluids. Finally find a 7-Eleven and they tell us their bathroom is broke. Thank goodness a local told us that Dunkin’ Donuts would allow us to use their bathroom. As I’m waiting for her to come out, she’s telling me she’s locked in the bathroom. We tried multiple different things to get the door open. She was sending me videos of the lock. It would’ve been quite comical if it wasn’t for the situation. My husband finally had to kick the door open. The first week is going to be the toughest. Until the nasal stents and sutures are removed. Unlimited amounts of ice cream and smoothies are making things a little better. I really appreciate your support. It’s amazing since I’ve never met any of you in person. |

So today is my birthday. Every year since it’s release, I always do the Cathe challenge of X 77. I wasn’t sure if I was up for it this morning. After the warm-up, which is a favorite by the way, and the first routine that uses the step, I thought maybe I’ll need to quit early this year. Much to my surprise, I made it to completion. Feeling very accomplished! Of course I had to really drop my weights for the Fat Burning Circuit at the end when doing simultaneous bicep curl and overhead press. Cathe was using 10 pounds whereas I could only lift 6 at that point. Anyone else ever try this premix? I can only handle it once per year. X10 is actually a favorite of mine. Love the music despite different lyrics! Love the variety and flexibility! Love the cardio and weight combos with minimal repetition! I need to use this DVD more in the future.

Wow, ChelePA!!! First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! AND doing X77 after everything you've had going on? Seriously??? Where is FOLV, did she really leave the house, because I think this calls for a huge cowbell celebration with extra bells for a successful surgery for your daughter and the breaking down of the door from your husband! I think YOU deserve ice cream to your heart's content now. Hugs to you!!!
