Good Afternoon! Saturday was a rest day. Yesterday I went to a West Coast Swing class. Today I did 2 pullups, 2 chinups and the Total Body Sculpt practice from Sadie's Core Strength Vinyasa Total Transformation DVD. I really like this DVD but thought there would be more footage. Lots of...

DH moved in 4 months after we met. I was 27, he was 37. We were married 5 months later. We just celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary Valentine's Day. We were both married before and knew what we wanted, what we didn't want, talked everything out (including monetary issues) and we're very...

Good Afternoon! Today was a light day for me. I did Trudie Styler's Core Strength Pilates. Don't know how much I care for this one. Didn't get much of a workout but James D'Silva is a good instructor and I liked the side lying leg series. I guess I have a strong core because it didn't feel...

Good Afternoon! This morning I did Tracy Anderson's Dance Cardio combos 1-6. Then I did combos 1 and 2 with the music. I hate the way this DVD is produced. I wanted to get quickly to the actual workout but then she starts with a warmup which she should have done before the breakdowns. I wish...

Good Afternoon! I did Tracy A's Post Pregnancy workout (minus arms) this morning. Her core work in this still challenges me and the short leg workout had my glutes burning. I really wanted to do her Dance Cardio but I couldn't get my head into learning the combos (I only did it once and...

Melissa - Never did a 1-legged deadlift jump. Can you describe? Are you jumping on the same leg from a deadlift position, alternating legs? Looks like a fun Tabata! Never did Crunch Salsa either. I saw the clip on Collage but it didn't look that great to me and I don't think it will do...

Good Morning Ladies! Today I did Latin Groove with Sherri Jacquelyn, an old CIA workout but fun! This was a mix of jazz, latin and hip-hop. I am by no means a hip-hop dancer but she broke things down quite well (although fast). She had a nice little pushup sequence at the end with...

Good Afternoon! Sorry I didn't check in on Friday but Atlanta had a major snowstorm (3"!) and our office closed early. Took me 2 hours to get home. It looked real pretty but it pretty much all melted away on Saturday. Here's my rundown since Friday: Friday - Essentrics - Legs, Butt...

Good Afternoon! I did 3 pullups, 3 chinups, upper body work from Squeeze and Fat Burning Fusion. Didn't think I was going to like Fat Burning Fusion but I did. I guess this was an accurate title - my HR was between 70 and 85% for almost the whole workout. I liked the balance work in this and...

Good Afternoon! This morning I did Sadie Nardini's Core Strength Vinyasa: Transormation Through Weight Loss Inversions & Detox practice (80 mins.) She had me doing handstands! I managed to push away from the wall and hold a few on my own. I was also able to do compass pose...

Good Afternoon! I started with 3 pullups and 1 chinup (surprisingly pullups are getting easier - but are never easy!) Then I did Firm Cardio Dance Fusion Finished with Chakra Namaskar from Shiva's Daily Energy Flow - this one was a combination of moves from the other practices. She did...

The workouts on Fit TV have to fit into either 30 or 60 minutes. That being said, all of the Core Max and Stretch Max routines are the same as her DVDs. Push Pull is about 44 minutes so I think the Fit TV version has it all. The Fit TV versions obviously don't have the premixes that are on...

Good Afternoon! Took a Hustle workshop for 2 hours on Saturday and had a great time. Today I did Fluidity Advanced (for the first time!) It was pretty good; felt challenging at times. When she did pullups on the barre, I just went to my pullup bar and did 2 chins and 2 pullups. Did another...

Good Morning! I started out with 25 swings/25# kb. Then I did the Quick Step and cooldown from Dance Off the Pounds. I finished off with Tracy Anderson's Mat workout. Finally able to get through all the unweighted arm work without a rest and did all of the weighted arm work with 3# (I...

Step Moves - 324 calories. Marcy

Good Afternoon! I did Dance Off the Pounds this morning. I did the Swing, Jive and Cooldown. There is no warmup and I didn't have time for the Quickstep. The Jive is a quicker form of the Swing. This definitely got my HR up. I burned 295 calories. I also did 1 pullup, 3 chinups and the Water...

Athletic Step - 412 calories Step Moves - I'll have to check my notes. Will post back tomorrow. Marcy

Loved the premixes (almost better than the regular workout), stability ball abs, firewalkers, freestanding lunge/squat combo and definitely the stretch. I use the stretch portion a lot after other workouts. Marcy

Hi Everyone! Sorry I've been MIA so long! Here's my update since Friday: Friday: Dove #3 - Great workout! Tough unweighted arm section and a cardio section just like Cathe's Maximum Intensity Cardio Hi/Lo. Also tough ab section. Saturday - Rest Sunday - West Coast Swing class...

She does drop sets of pushups in Gym Style Chest & Triceps. Marcy
