Good morning!
D&A Total Body Strength - 31min. Loved it! Cathe LITE Cardio Party - 39min. Good thing I was already warmed up from D&A because Cathe's 9min warmup is a full-on workout as far as I'm concerned. Full speed right out of the gate. Still, I liked it. Donna, your DD first choice of schools sounds perfect for her. Small school, equestrian team, in-state tuition and not too far from home. Brenda, sorry about your arm. Carol and Linda's suggestion of trying topical creams and/or compression sleeve sounds like a good start. Hopefully they'll help. Carol, I hear you about about "senior" term best describing little old lady of 80 and not someone of our, or at least my age. I don't feel "senior" at ALL! Waves to Christine and Cheri!

Sunday's workouts were
Jessica Valant Pilates - Beginner Weight Workout - 24 minutes; Jane Adams - Yoga for Beginners: Complete Floor Practice - 28 minutes Despite being called a "beginner" weight workout, it really was just a basic weight workout - standard exercises, approximately 12 reps per exercise, 2 sets. Like any barre or pilates teacher, Jessica is not the best at counting reps, but I don't think I could talk and count at the same time either. Jane's Complete Floor Practice was new to me as well. I liked this one and it was well within my capability. I need to do more of the practices from this DVD and to revisit the Gentle Yoga DVD. What I would really like is for Jane to do a DVD of 10 minute practices, but I don't think that's going to happen. I start training a new assistant today. This will be my fourth one since I've been at the school. My previous assistant got a full time job at the art museum (and she needed a full time job now that she is graduating and our position would have never been full time) - so I'm really happy for her, but here we go again. Dana - I hear you about Cathe's 9 minute warmup - it feels like part of the workout! I do like that workout though. I always have a smile on my face when I finish it. And I really enjoyed Karen's Total Body Strength workout too - there's something about her workouts or mix of workouts that really appeals to me. Donna - That School sounds like a really good choice! How exciting for DD! I too love the idea of a private school feel with in-state tuition rates. And an equestrian team too - what more could she want! Waves! Carol |

Dana cardio party is on my wishlist. Thanks for letting me know I need to add a warmup to it
Carol I hope this assistant stays awhile. It's always difficult trying to do your job and train someone else fully. Hope it goes well! Donna when will you take additional college trips? I enjoyed those ...good memories! Yesterday I finished up XFST #8 and followed with T25 Focus stretch. I had a bit of dread going into XFST but I was determined to move in from this set. I will repost from another thread my husband's comments so you can get a good idea of how I muddled through it. " look at that guy going through the motions back there...y'all are working hard, huh?" " Did you eat enough for this?" "Are you gonna make it?" "I think that girl back there is gonna make it after all?" (I do wonder if he meant ME though ) "That's a hard workout." Hugs and waves around!

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I ended up getting in more activity than I expected. I added on Jessica's Dynamic Stretch from WS 1.0. I'm really enjoying re-visiting this series. And, I got an outdoor walk in after our rain ended. Today, so far, has been: CS 1123 - I forgot where I left off on this disc so I started from the beginning. This as an all standing workout. Jessica WS 1.0 - Upper Body - I enjoyed this as well, although I did have to take the time to switch out weights here and there and missed a few reps as a result. I also didn't love the ab work at the end - so I'm thinking next time this comes around I will skip the abs and move on to a Pilates workout. Carol - good luck w/ training your new assistant. That workout from Jessica is on my list to try - I may use it in place of WS 1.0 - Total Body for a change of pace. I would also love a series from Jane Adams w/ shorter practices - I had pulled her DVDs off my shelf too - but I wanted more of an add-on length than a full workout length, if that makes sense! Linda - sounds like a tough workout! I don't know if we will do any more visits, fortunately, we jump started the visit process and had toured schools when my DD was a sophomore - it was almost as if we knew the pandemic was coming. Many of the larger schools are just doing virtual visits. I think she has her mind made up, though, on this school Waves, Dana! Brenda - how is your arm? Cheri - hope the vaccine went smoothly. Missing Christine... Donna |
