Sorry to hear about your knee Sheree81! Good reminder to ensure we all do very thorough warm ups before such demanding workouts. Hope it heals quickly.

Yesterday I shovelled for an hour - the heaviest, wettest snow ever! Then went for a walk (a trudge! ;)o_O) for an hr. and a half through the slush and snow. That unexpectedly put the kibosh on any Cathe workouts for the day (except a bit of needed stretching) and left me with a sore back. But...

Good for you, Penny! :) Hopefully I can go into XTrain a little stronger than last time too. I am in week 3 of Meso 3. By next week I will see if I was able to gain some strength. I will let you know! But, so far so good. Thanks for thinking of me, Penny, and giving me the heads up. I will be...

Thanks for the inspiration, Penny! STS is going well. With fewer distractions now it is easier to fit in my workouts and stay on schedule. I am on track to hop on board the X Train on Monday, April 6. Thanks for laying down those train tracks and getting things all ready for us! You are making...

Couldn't agree more! I am 60 and, according to my STS notes I am lifting heavier than I did when I was 56. It's all about staying consistent, and also cross training and using good form in order to do what we can to stay injury free. With a little luck and with the inspiration I get from other...

Disk 31 and extended stretch today. We're all making progress, gals!

Today was cardio day and boy, did I need it! Did a 5km run and then Intensity - started off smiling during the step segment, but was really gasping by the time Cathe was into the Imax section! :po_O The toughest workout I've done in a while. The hiit section wasn't bad. I realized I have not...

I did Disk 38 today - week 2 of squat rack legs. I too can only use 70lbs for the back squats - my vest + what I can safely lift over my head. I am only 5'1" but just couldn't do it with the Fit Tower as a squat rack. So I ended up doing 16 reps / set. Not the way the program is designed but...

265#!!!!o_O:cool::) You are a warrior! You certainly earned your name Firmgrrl! Thanks for the book suggestion. I will definitely check that out!

Disk 29 Plyo Legs rocks! Got to be one of the toughest lower body and cardio combo workouts. Gasp! Only 50 mins but I had to pause the player a few times to gulp down lots of water! I have low bone mass so this workout is just what I need - high impact moves along with weighted moves with...

8 more STS workouts left! I think I can make it. Will feel a sense of accomplishment when completed. I'm finishing up a month later than I had planned, but hey, life doesn't always go exactly as planned, does it?! Just enjoying each workout as I can fit it in.

Disk 28 tonight - Chest and Back. :) The physical therapist said to go super light for chest work and very gradually build up over the next 4 weeks. I definitely reduced my weight but didn't have to go crazy light (67lbs for flat bench press vs the 82lbs I had planned) so I was happy with that...

Thanks for letting me set some realistic expectations for this move, Penny! I have never tried this particular 100 rep challenge, but after reading stuff from Brett Contreras (the 'glute guy') I am totally pumped to give it a go. He says that hip thrusts are THE best glute exercise. Given the...

Sorry to hear about your bad day Nicki. You really didn't need that frustration after dealing with all you have had to deal with over the last while! Hopefully you are all set to go now and can find benefits from working at home.

I am so very sorry Nicki. How difficult for you and your co-workers. You have had two big stressors in one week - whoa. Good for you to get some stress busting exercise in on Saturday. I am sure you are a great example to your coworkers.
