Melissa - Thanks for the Seasun link. I've seen her double step but not her wheel step. It looks like so much fun! Nita - Welcome to the checkin! I hope your shoulder heals quickly so you can get started with your KBs. Did you get any AOS DVDs? Gayle - Thanks! Shiva's really great...

So are we! Marcy

Good Morning! Started out with 1 pullup and 3 chins. Next was So You Think You Can Dance Tone & Groove which consisted of Hip Hop, Jazz and Cha Cha. I was a little disappointed. I hit Play All and they started with this long introduction. The warmup didn't warm me up at all but I went...

Good Afternoon All! Well, I just typed a whole long post and deleted it by accident so here goes again. I started out with 1 pullup and 2 chinups. Then I did CIA 2903 - Seasun Zieger's Stepping Up. She's probably my favorite step instructor (and most complex) and she cues great. I got...

Good Afternoon! Did 1 pullup and 3 chinups. Then did a 36-minute premix from Amy Bento's Kickbox Xtreme. It's been a while since I did that one so I didn't get as intense a workout since I didn't remember all the combos and there's no breakdown in the premix but I still had a pretty good...

Good Afternoon! Saturday I went to a 4-hour ballroom styling workshop. Worked on foot positions, upper/lower body lines, progressions, head positions. Today - 1 pullup; 2 chinups Julianne's Cardio Ballroom - first time. Great! Did Cha Cha, Jive and Paso Doble. They all got my HR up...

Good Afternoon! Still sore this morning and didn't feel like doing much so I did Sadie's Relax and Restore practice from the Transformation DVD (1 hr.) Her opening sequence is the same as on the other two practices I did. Also, the backbending sequence and last hip opener, supine twist...

Good Morning! I did Dance Body Tone this morning (from DWTS). Kym did Rumba/Cha Cha; Dmitri did Tango and Lacey did freestyle. My hips/glutes were really sore from yesterday (maybe the deadlifts?) and I was really feeling the DOMS with today's workout. Couldn't even slide all the way down...

kariev - They might be difficult to get as they have been discontinued. If you want them, Collage says they might have a few left in inventory and to call or e-mail them. Marcy

Melissa - I don't think we watched any when he was healing but we did see Julia & Julia last month and we both loved it. It's great pullups are getting easier for you. I need to try some pistol squats. Did you do them weighted or unweighted? Marcy

Hi Everyone! Sorry I've been gone so long. DH's surgery went well (thanks for all your good wishes and healing vibes). Wasn't in too much pain and he's getting his stitches out on Friday. Here's what I've done since Friday: Friday - Did Sadie Nardini's Core Transformer practice (1 hr.)...

Hi Deborah! I'm in Kennesaw (Northwest Cobb) but I'm a little south of the Brookstone subdivision. I work downtown. I start work at 9:30 and usually have anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour commute. Days when school's out are much easier. For instance, today was only 30 minutes...

Thanks, Deanie! DH used the baby oil too! Marcy

Deanie - Sounds like you had a really fun warmup! That will definitely get the HR up! Great job with the 20K swings for 30 mins.!:) Jane - Your workout sounds like fun tonight! It's in the 50s here today. YAY! Hi Melissa! I probably won't be on tomorrow unless I get on early. My DH...

Good Afternoon! Got up in the middle of the night and didn't get back to sleep for almost 2 hours. Not too much time to workout this morning but did manage: 1 pullup and 2 chinups Patrick Goudeau's Quick Step (30 mins.) - first time; fun but with a bit too many filler moves Tamilee's...

I would consider CardioBarre a cardio workout. I don't know which one you have but I use the Ultimate Advanced which is pretty fast. Physique 57 also goes pretty fast. Marcy

mjd - I would go for MMA Kickbox. Kickmax has the high impact/high intensity blasts which doesn't seem to be what you want although you could do the DVD without the blasts. There is a low impact premix which is about 58 minutes. Kick Max also includes the leg conditioning drills which are...

I forgot to mention I also did 1 pullup and 1 chinup today. Deanie - I just started eating avocados for the first time last week. Yum but fattening (but the good fat!) I got a recipe from Spark people for a Shrimp, Avocado and Asparagus salad that was delicious! I've made it twice already...

Good Morning! I did Sadie Nardini's Core Strength Vinyasa: Transformation Through Weight Loss. Just got it last night and couldn't wait to try it out this morning. This is the lady who has the great youtube videos. I felt great this morning. She's such a great instructor and really tells...

Good Afternoon! I survived 40/20 this morning but it was more like 40/60 for me! I thought I was in good shape. I admit my breathing wasn't as good as it could have been to start but I'm amazed that people's heartrates come down that quickly to do the next interval. I appreciated she gave...
