Intensity today, Step + Hiit Lo Premix

150 Avg HR

No doubt that Cathe can create challenging low impact Hiit, and that step! whew! This second time, like the first, just let it run through while I caught my breath a few times (more like letting my legs recover really) instead of stopping the dvd (go ahead girls, I'll catch up). I used to stop it for some routines but decided for comparison it may be better to keep the time the same and see how much I can do that way...given the INTENSITY!...ha!

Add to bucket list...ice skate at Rockefeller Center under the tree...:)...and watch the rockettes at Radio City (been there, just haven't done that!) oooh....and make the pilgrimage to Mecca for Catheletes...Goldsboro!....at least once!

oooh, I forgot, finally really got fast feet! yay!

furniture SuperSlider (big one) will increase the difficulty of the paper plate moves on carpet, boy, do they!
 
High Reps today , 2nd time, I love these new workouts, the contemporary-classic music & moves, pace, outfits (love them), and bright backdrop, perfect for the less than stellar weather we're having here. They really are slick productions...:)

speaking of bliss...Dove dark chocolate pieces..didn't realize they have little messages inside...not quite Ferrero Rocher...but delicious...last year we had Panettone, watched a Martha Stewart show on how that's made, and traditionally how long they've made it that way, I always enjoyed her original Home & Kitchen shows, this was a newer show like that...:)

Chocolate & Cake....holidays....:D.......hmmmm?.........:)
