Cataddict I’m very glad to hear that Big Orange and Tank didn’t have anything seriously wrong. The sneezing blood thing would have definitely had me worried. But it’s somewhat comforting to know from Kittybug that she has had experience with it and it can be from infections.
Bee I felt the way you did at the end of IMAX Extreme. I was physically tired but also mentally tired and I also flummoxed some of the footwork at the end. I think my brain was done! Garrie you mentioned going back to your second job this week. I was wondering if the Community Center where you teach has been open. Is that the job you returned to? Also BBL is Brazilian Butt Lift, right? I have been so curious about that set. I almost bought it a couple of times but never pulled the trigger. I have the Beach Body You Volume 2 set, so I have a feel for Leandro as an instructor. Maybe next time I get on a buying spree, I will get it. Yes, you definitely need to do Patrick’s Step Appeal again. I know you can get the choreography! It’s tricky but not impossible and it’s fun! Kittybug to answer your question about the dread of a workout - I don’t generally do workouts repeatedly in a short time frame. So I tend to forget the specifics but I remember whether I liked it or not. So if I found it hard, my dread never really goes away! Maybe if I tried your method that would change. ChelePA so scary about your mom’s employment. If you can talk her into it, I think she should stay home. Oh I hope you can. You guys talking about Cathe Live have had me looking at her website. I can’t believe I was contemplating it. I don’t like streaming at all. I think the idea has passed. I haven’t decided what workout I will do today. It’s still early.

Today was my last day using the Fit Split Series. I did the bonus abs first then legs and glutes. That bonus should really be labeled total body bonus. Haha. I find it tough especially if I do it at the end of a workout. My form is so much better in the beginning. No matter how many times I do it, it really challenges me. Also I find this lower body workout packs a punch in a short amount of time. My legs were wobbly at the end. I finished with my January challenge of burpees, planks and core exercises only doing 1 round today then used a Caroline Jordan YouTube foam roller stretch.
Garrie—I’m also curious where you are teaching. I miss my YMCA days. Especially my cycling classes! So many different instructors with such awesome music! Hoping I can return next year. I just don’t feel comfortable wearing a mask for that type of class. Kim you know you want to join everybody with Cathe live. I still haven’t signed up. Maybe I’ll take the time this weekend to register. |

Hello all! Today is Surprise Saturday, but it wasn't much of a surprise.... I really wanted to finish the Body Blast series, so I did Legs & Glutes. I mostly really like that workout -- I hadn't done it in a very long time, so I had forgotten.
kittybug, I think a big part of adjusting to workouts is mental -- there's definitely some physical adaption involved, but the dread, for me anyway, is more of a mental thing and the more I do it the more I realize it's not so bad. Maybe the ones I dread so much have a problem of being so physically demanding that I haven't done them enough to get over the mental hump. manleym, I'm thinking about doing Powerstrike 5 on Wednesday this week -- does that work with your schedule? Anyone else who has it want to join us? I'm a little worried about Gary's comment on #6. I have a feeling that may be why I gave up on Powerstrikes. I hope I can follow when I get to it. I'm starting the Hardcore series next and thinking about doing one of the Hardcore Extreme workouts tomorrow for Slogging Sunday. Not sure I've ever done one of those! If I have, it's been a very long time. cataddict, interesting that you also have some twinges after Cathe's kickboxing -- that's three of us. I also don't fault her -- she makes some really fun kickboxing workouts! I just know I have to be aware of what they do to me. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Hi Friends!
I'm glad most of us were able to do IMax Extreme either Thursday or yesterday. It was so much FUN! I have to be honest and say that I was not looking forward to it. Yesterday was Full Friday at work, with alot of deadline/time sensitive stuff so it was non-stop all day. I had to work late, I was tired, and I knew IMax Extreme was long. But I remembered my fierce friends, came home, and did it anyway. And I was so glad! I would have missed out on a GREAT workout! So thanks friends, for doing a workout with me on the same day! It really motivates me! I think Gauntlet is my favorite, then IMax Extreme and Viper. But I'm going to have to give Viper another chance. I was tired and fatigued when I did it, so it felt hard to me. And it's supposedly the easiest on of the 3. So I think it was a me thing and not the workout. Cataddict I'm so glad nothing was terribly wrong with your furbabies. Gald it was just an infection and Kittybug has some experience with how to treat them. That was scary! Great news that your knee is better! YAY! Glad you joined us yesterday for IMax Extreme. Oh, what are ya'll watching on Passport? We just finished Hinterland series and are looking for something new. KateTT Great Glutes is one of my favs! In fact I like all of the workouts from the 2013 series. 58 is way too young to stop! I wanna keep going as long as I can. You can definitely handle Terminator. Agree with Bee that they are more endurance based workouts and stamina is a huge part of getting through them. But they are FUN and so worth doing! Bee YES I was tired after doing IMax Extreme! But those 2 intervals /blasts from IMax 2 ALWAYS make me tired. My air jacks and plyo jacks are pretty puny. I didn't have time for extra stretching yesterday so I'm hoping to do some today. Kittybug, yes I agree that the more familiar I am with a workout the less dread it has. I'm guess it's a muscle memory/mental thing more than physical conditioning, although I've revisited workouts that were hard the first couple of times and aren't so much anymore. That would be due to physical conditioning, right? How was Travis's Happy Hour practice? ChelePA I'm so sorry this saga is dragging out with your mom and her work place. That is just so not right and so very frustrating! I'm not sure I remember the bonus stuff from Fit Split so I may need to revisit. So what are we doing next Friday for Fun Friday? |
