Hi Lisa and everyone else, too! Sorry this is so late in the day but the boys and I were at my parents today and we just got home. I use the Boot Camp cardio only premix + the kickbox premix...this is usually after a weighted workout, so it's short but intense. I've also thought of doing the...

I posted this over at the bikini thread, but last week when I did HIIT on the treadmill I was surprised to see how much milage I ran in just 30 minutes. I ran at 8-8.4 mph for 30 seconds and 6 mph for 30 seconds, repeating 30 times...nearly 4 miles! I'm gonna try Trevor's workout (2 minutes...

Wow, I just realized I didn't check-in yesterday! Oh well. Yesterday was PS BBA + HIIT with IMAX 2 (wu thru the end of interval 1, then blasts 1-5 twice, blast 10, cool down). It was nearly 80 here yesterday and my workout area was HOT...lots of sweat! The rest of the week looks like this...

It is beautiful here in the Pacific Northwest! Sunday is supposed to be even better (low- to mid- seventies:-) ). My neighbor and I walked this morning, and I might do something like yoga in a bit...but I might not! Tomorrow DH and I are probably going to go on a bike ride after church...

I have all of Cathe's weighted stuff, and Supersets isn't what you're describing...I just wanted to know if you have another approach. For a while (last Dec. thru this Feb.) I was mainly circuit training. I found I gained weight and lost strength by combining cardio with resistance. In March...

Hey, Trevor. Thanks for the post. Quick question: could you define "superset" and which Cathe workouts most resemble what you've been doing. I'm the type that needs the structure of a DVD for weights so I don't have to count myself! Right now I'm doing a modified M&F Hers rotation of one...

Brenda, what a nice morning! Hmmmm....I've copied you on the HIIT, so perhaps I'll have to copy you on the pedicure/mocha morning, too! I really think HIIT is doing it's thing: a previously tight pair of jeans fit perfectly fresh out of the dryer (an important qualifier!). A cleaner diet has...

"Bikini" is a state of mind! That's probably why I'm more comfortable in a foreign country in one! Today was simply the CTX upper body split. Last night DH and I did Spinervals, but after about one hour my stomach knotted up and didn't unknot until about 1:30 am this morning. It was really...

RE: Shoot.... Thanks, Trevor. That was encouraging, especially as I contemplate Spinervals...now I really HAVE to do it! CinDee

RE: You all.... Trevor, for me "bikini body" is realtive...to what country I'm in! Mexico? Yes. United States? NO! Okay, back to the check-in. Yesterday I ran at 8-8.4 mph for 30 seconds and recovered at 6 mph for 30 seconds. Next time I will, as Brenda suggested, try it on and incline...

I'm a SAHM of 3 boys. My husband is self-employed. We carry the minimum in health insurance, we don't have dental or eye insurance because it would cost more to have the insurance than to just pay the dentist for cleanings. Of course other things have come up (gum infections, cavities...

Kim--Oh, what a bummer morning! I hope you can laugh (smile?) about it now. I hate mornings like that...was not finding something to wear worse than the dog vomit? The overflowing yet empty closet delimma can be maddening! As for shoes, have you tried using inserts? I love the Spenco...

I'm looking for the increased fat loss, so I've been joining Brenda on the HITT over at Bikini Countdown...btw, I'm not tired at all of you mentioning it, Brenda! You give me new ideas! So far I've used the blast mania (IMAX 2 premix), IMAX 2 blasts 5-9 two times, and BC cardio only + kickbox...

Good morning everyone! I just want to say again it has been SOOO helpful to check-in, plus having a set rotation has really helped with the consistancy. Still doing the M&F hers 8 week rotation, but I'm skipping the circuit week this week and going straight to the heavy week. This week will...

Quick check-in. I contemplated going for a ride today after church, but it's kinda raining and that's enough of an excuse to rest today! Perhaps some yoga this evening...we'll see. We also have church responsibilities tonight, so I'm not sure. Brenda, are you planning on heavy or...

Wow. It's after noon PST and still no one has posted. This is a little scary to me being the first one to post! Well, I hope everyone's weekend is going well and that the spring is shooing away the cold, cough and flu stuff! It's not exactly warm here, but the sun peeks thru now and again...

Hey everyone. Yesterday ended up being a bust. When I got to the Y I felt dizzy and nauseous (TOTM) and helping in the hot swimming area didn't help (it's a homeschooling co-op so I help one hour and have one hour free). I ended up going outside, getting a peppermint tea at Starbucks, and...

70 degrees sounds great...it was that way up here on Sunday, but lately it's been classic Pacific Northwest: cloudy, rainy, cold. Yesterday I did the SS premix (2 rounds without abs) and I strained my right shoulder. I hope that resloves by Saturday so I can hit the upper body again. Today...

Just adding another voice to the mix... I'm a SAHM to 3 boys who I homeschool. They're 7, 9, and 11 (hey, I sound like Calico!). When my first son was born I didn't care about fitness. But when he was about 1 year old I just hated being jello-y so I started FIRMing. I used his nap-time...

Just saying hey real quick to everyone. Brenda, last night I tried a version of HIIT after a 4 mile walk with my neighbor...as my friend Shanna says, "Oh my crud!" I did IMAX 2 warm-up thru the end of interval 1 and then tacked on blasts 5-9 twice. I slept well! Today will be a total...
