Ugh for those of you getting more snow!! Shovel Max is hard work!! Hopefully all of this horrible weather will move out soon!!
Kim good point about Travis's Flexibility practice being advanced. Didn't even occur to me. But it should have. I can do Bird of Paradise on one side, but not the other. I guess it shows my imbalances between the 2 sides.
Bee love reading about all of the fun birthday celebrations you've been having with your friends! Sounds delightful! And what a breath of fresh air, literally, being able to hike around the Redwoods. Years ago a friend married in the Napa area and it was one of the best trips I've ever been on. Absolutely gorgeous area. I would love to go back. And glad your little spell was nothing serious and that it passed quickly. Oh, and watch Mary's Daily Deals for Katami 4x4. I bought the set for a really good price when it was a daily deal.
Cataddict I'm so glad you're feeling better. And sure glad it wasn't covid!! I like the idea of doing Change 1 & 2 again next week before moving on to Athlete. Like the idea of doing each Phase for 2 weeks. I know what you mean about those burpee/pushup move. I took out the pushup and just did a burpee with a jump. So in between intermediate and advanced version. I also did the intermediate version of the hot dogs. I did the rope stretch workout today and I like the foam roller one better too. The rope was a good stretch, but the foam roller just gets in there good. And yes, Paul's pace and instruction are excellent!
KateTT and
Horusosiris GO BOYS!!! So glad Drew Person FINALLY got inducted into the hall of fame this year. It's about time!! Ha Kate that you picked the Boys because you liked the star!! Roger Staubach, Tom Landry - such men of character and integrity. Horusosiris, how did you become a fan? And I too am a HUGE tea fan, mostly green tea. Drink it all day long - hot and cold.
KateTT I LOVE foam rolling, but like
Bee and others have mentioned, start off easy. It will bring you to your knees and make you whimper like a baby. But once you get in those tight muscles, it REALLY loosens them up. I've heard it be referred to as "poor man's massage." I foam rolled today after doing 4x4 rope stretch. I have several rollers - one long and soft, one short and hard. Kinda like yoga mats, you just can't have one.
ChelePA so glad Winston's procedure went well and that you are both recovering nicely. Yay to no more procedures! And regarding legs...the older I get the more of a losing battle it is...agree with Cataddict and others who have said it's mostly genetics and diet. Mostly genetics.
Horusosiris hope your tea and book were good. Did you do Cathe Live today? I thought it was a good workout. I like using bands and sliding devices. Not super intense, but a good solid lower body workout. And not boring.
I have most of my dvds organized by type 1st, then by instructor. So all of my step workouts are all together and within that all of the Cathe step are together, Cristi step together, etc. Same applies to cardio workouts, metabolic, kettlebell, weights, etc. Type of workout 1st, then by instructor.
However with some instructors I just keep all of their workouts together, like Tracie Long and Amy Bento. Maybe a space thing but theirs are together by instructor and not by workout type. Sets just stay as sets - I don't break them down.
I hope to be able to do Double Down tomorrow but may have to sub Amy's Breathless Body 4. DD is supposed to arrive tomorrow but I'm guessing it will be late with all this craziness.
Stay warm my friends! Hugs and waves to all!! Tomorrow is Friday! YAY!
