Thank you for all the good wishes. I came home yesterday after surgery on Tuesday. Pain was a real issue for me because of my plummeting blood pressure the first two nights. No pain meds without a decent blood pressure, above 100. But I have already done a lot of pt sessions including stairs...

Thanks Valerie! My surgery is on Tuesday. I have been doing preoperative exercises already and the surgical team will be setting up PT for me the following week. I don't pay anything for PT.

Thank you workouts! I am now actually looking forward to getting this taken care of and doing the physical therapy.

Thank you so much! I do a lot of modifying on Cathe as well and have no trouble with her low impact or kickboxing. It sounds like I will be enjoying my new knee by the spring.

Has anyone here had a knee replacement? I am scheduled for one on October 3 (after several years of nursing it along with cortisone shots) and wonder if I will ever do Cathe again after rehab.

This is one of my favorite live workouts. No dread factor, minimal equipment (5s, 10s, and a resistance band), under 50 minutes, and plenty of water breaks. I would say it is intermediate, but suitable for beginners if you choose lighter weights. I do this one as a lighter weight workout when I...

Thanks Lakeside and Nanbo! I think I might try the tape idea. There are also some number decals that might stick.

I had to pause several times to adjust the bar on my Turbo Barre and figure out what level might work with the changes to the Fit Tower. My legs were burning after this one. I am wondering if there is some way I can number the levels on my Turbo barre--any suggestions?

Yes, I did this one again today, and did a lot of peeking at Ingrid.

Cathe, I really enjoyed this workout, even though I cannot do sit outs (I just sub mountain climbers). I also watch Ingrid a lot for modifications, because she avoids a lot of the impact for me. I wish she were more prominent--I always look for her.

Thanks, Lori!

I did this one too and really enjoyed it. I did several modifications for impact. I always look for Ingrid in the back--I think that is her name--and she does modifications I follow as well.

Bye! I am not posting anymore.

I did live Crush It (42 min.). I'm very depressed, disillusioned, hopeless.

Hi everyone-- This morning I did live Upper Body Sculpt (51 min.). Another good one--this time it's not endurance, but heavy sculpting--or heavy for me. I will be curious to see if I get doms. Beautiful day for voting, so the turnout should be good here in MA. Valerie, I too want a clear-cut...

Hi everyone-- This morning I did RS with 1 lb. gloves (48 min.). I like this one a lot. Deb, I am scheduled for a fitting on the dress later this week. She says it is almost done, but she wants to make sure of the fit and decide on the hem. I had too many obligations last week or I could have...

I forgot to mention, Diane Sue, I don't think that dvd place would help me. This was a brand new dvd that froze--no scratches--and really stubborn about getting out of the dvd player. I was afraid to put it in again.

Hi everyone-- This morning I did live Vertical Loading (50 min.). I really like this one as an alternative to all the metabolic weight workouts with compound moves. I will definitely be returning to this one. Rating 5. Deb, it sounds like you had a good day yesterday and fun with Kylee. I'm...

Hi everyone-- This morning I did live You Can Do Anything for a Minute (50 min.). I really like this one, probably because it gets everything done--cardio, weights, upper and lower body. Deb, I really hope you get some kind of a breakthrough on this. How frustrating! If anything is causing...

Hi everyone-- This morning I did live Legs on Fire (49 min.). Somewhat ambivalent about this one. I don't like a 40 lb barbell, so I wore my 10 lb. vest and a 30 lb. barbell. I don't like burpees, and have never been very good at those roll-ins with one leg up in the air. On the other hand...
