cat: I need to revisit Fit Split. I've only done each workout one time!! Adding that to my rotation!
bee: Even if you just fit in some short Yoga...it's better to do a little every day instead of longer practices just once or twice. Garrie: Butts & Guts is also one of my Cathe favs! It's so fun!! So today, more Skogg Kettlebell with his At Home Phase 1 Strength 1 workout. There are actually 6 workouts on this DVD. Two strength, two conditioning, two power. All about 40-60 minutes long. I have not done these since about 2017 and am really happy to revisit!! Strength 1 was about 45 min long so I added on a couple extra sets. Nice warmup and cooldown/stretch! I always feel so well worked with kbells and I can even lift heavier (sometimes). So now for the rest of May it will be Skogg and Cathe. Happy Hump DAAAAAAYYYYY.

Hey All! Garrie, that's funny..... I think I like L&G better than B&G (because I think it is easier), so maybe I did that "translation" in my mind. I need to revisit B&G! Nice to "see" you!!
Kate, you are right about the yoga -- a little bit every day is better. I actually do a little every day in that I do a sequence of about five poses that I hold for one minute each after I work out. But, I feel like I am not getting my money's worth from my subscriptions! Today I did Stacked Upper -- that's a decent workout, too, for a short amount of time. I did the premix with abs added on. My shoulders were killing me during the shoulder section!! I will walk with a friend later. The only time she can walk is 5pm -- horrible timing for me because we are usually making and eating dinner in that hour, but I haven't seen her since before the lockdown so I'm happy to accommodate her schedule. Waves to all!

bee: I hear you on the Yoga subscriptions. But I do love mine and in time perhaps you will have more time to practice.
Today I did Cathe's To the Max. YOWIE! I had done this once and according to my notes, I raved. I'm still raving. But tough stuff, especially with a step with three risers! But I sucked it up and kept up although I will admit to stopping sometimes with 5-6 seconds left in the round. ;-) I just used 5lb dumbells for everything as I really just wanted this to be more cardio. I was dripping and it's not even hot. FUN! I think I might like Crossfire a little better but this is great too. Waves to everyone!!! (sure now I check in daily and no one else is). HAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm still here!! Just a crazy busy week! Quick check in then back later to respond to posts. I'm still reading and love hearing about everyone's workouts and what's going on in your lives, just busy - had to work last Saturday and part of this Saturday but things will calm down Monday. Yay!
Monday I did Cardio Slam plus 50 alternating weighted rear lunges, holding 8 lbs + wearing a weighted vest. Kinda like Cataddict (I think) found this harder/not as fun as last time. I did the workout as is, meaning in order - no premix changing floor, mat, step. I do like the variety of having floor, mat, and step. And none of the moves lasted forever, so that's good. Tuesday I did Strong Body Stacked Sets Upper Body + 6 Pack Abs #2 + Extended Stretch #2 and it was perfect for Tuesday. I think I like this one better than RUB. And definitely felt my shoulders. I think it was Bee who said the same. I really like the Hip Hugger move. It isn't in any of her other workouts and think it's a great move. So now we can take off our shirts and pull up our pants. Just glad both weren't in the same workout. HA! Yesterday was Fit Split Boxing Bootcamp/Legs & Glutes Legs & Glutes First premix plus Abs. I REALLY LIKED this premix, and didn't think I would. Last time I did this workout I was kinda 'meh" about it. Can't remember why. But I read 2 Lazy's review and she suggested this premix (legs first, then kickboxing) and I think I will always do this premix in the future. It has a L-O-N-G warmup, (her kickbox dvds always do) but it didn't seem as bad going from it to legs then back to kickboxing. And doing the kickboxing at the end helped loosen up my legs from the weights. I wore weighted gloves for the kickbox section, so my shoulder are REALLY feeling it. So my plan as of today is to finish this rotation with Afterburn, ICE Metabolic Total Body (premix that includes Blizzard Blast to sub for BBW) and either Cathe Live #33 Lean Lower Body or Great Glutes. I'm planning on MTB tomorrow for Fun Friday because it is one of my fav workouts (or used to be - haven't done it recently). Hugs and waves everyone! |

Hey All! People must be busy! Manleym you must be so relieved to see light at the end of your busy tunnel --hurrah!
You know..... all this bonus work this month.... I keep thinking I will do it later in the day and I never do, so.... unlike some of you, I'm not that sick of the squats and lunges. But wow, my upper body was so sore after Stacked -- that workout packs it in, or I was thinking maybe it is the order she does things (because it was noticeably different. I dunno, but.... last night I watched the clip for Metabolic Total Body and I just could not see doing that one with my sore upper body. I was thinking Kate had just raved about how great Afterburn is and that it's a great cardio workout because the weights are light. Well, now I realize she was talking about Crossfire, but this morning I did Afterburn instead of Metabolic Total Body. I'm thinking for tomorrow I'll do that FitSplit premix we were meant to do when I did Legs & Glutes, but I'll do it with legs first as manleym (2lazy) suggests. I haven't whined about it but we had some problem in the barn and now I have no internet out there, so can't do my streaming yoga (or anything else streaming) until that's fixed. I can do yoga in the house, but I just don't like to as much. I really like my workout space in the barn! Kate, I love your checkins! It is funny how the traffic has been here, but it's always great to read your enthusiasm. Crazy weather! I imagine some of you are getting pretty warm temps but it was 39 here this morning (my poor tomato plants). And now the wind is really kicking up, which they predicted for last night but it never happened then. I'm watching the weather across the country because my older son has figured out he will be going to Skidmore in the fall (my other son is off to College of Wooster in Ohio). Ohio and NY seem to be pretty warm right now! Hope you are enjoying good weather wherever you are.....
