Deb, I hate cardio!! LOL! I really do. But I know it's important so I force myself to do some, even if it is just walking. The circuit workout is meant to be my HIIT work. Today was Slow & Heavy/Legs & Shoulders, and I'll walk 20 minutes at work later. Carol :)

Good morning! Deb, I walk around the outside of the building. It's 3/4 of a mile each lap. A lot of people walk here - inside and out. We have maps on our Intranet site, showing routes and their respective miles. I'm not going for miles though, only time, so I simply walk at a brisk pace. I'm...

I don't see a resemblance at all. And ditto what Beavs, Nancy, and Shelbygirl said. Carol :)

Worst job: working at Denny's. They treated people like dirt and it was chaotic. I've had other waitressing jobs, but this one was ridiculous. I was done with my first college degree and taking science classes before starting clinicals for nursing school, and I was in no frame of mind to be...

Good morning!! Yesterday was Slow & Heavy/Chest & Back. I also walked 25 minutes at work. Today I will walk again 25 minutes as well, and this morning I did the first third of the circuit from Iron Core Way Volume 2. This is a more advanced circuit than Volume 1, but I like a lot!! Carol :)

Good morning!! This is my workout this morning: All recovery times are 60 seconds. All intervals are 45 seconds: *Running *Jacks *Burpees *Running *Jacks *Running *Jacks *Burpees *Running *Jacks (end of intervals) *Plank hold for 45 seconds *Push-ups - 10 on my toes *Roman chair leg raises...

Hi everyone!! Today will be Slow & Heavy/Legs & Shoulders. I'm getting a slow start today as we're all glued to the Weather Channel and CNN. :( Carol :)

I agree with the others. If you can handle the cut in pay, it sounds like a great opportunity, and one which would have a positive impact on your health. Carol :)

Adding my thoughts and prayers for all of you. So sad this is happening to that same area again so soon after Katrina. Carol

WOW!! Amazing transformation! Thanks so much for sharing this inspiring story!! Carol :)

I did my circuit yesterday, followed by targeted ab work. 40 minutes in all. Today is a rest day!! I hope everyone has a great weekend!! Carol :)

I like doing roman chair leg raises. I also found some great ab exercises that are modifiable if you don't have gym equipment at home here: https://www.figureathlete.com/free_online_article/training/8_exercises_for_sexy_abs Carol :)

It's too early to start, IMHO. We still have no idea when these will be shipping. I know my 1RM for those exercises will likely change in the next couple of months, so I'm just going to wait until we have a better idea of the ship date. Carol :)

I have found the best way to be able to increase my weights is by making sure my pre, peri and post workout nutrition is optimal. I also push myself to lift heavier each week, but I'm careful not to push to the point of actual pain. It takes a long time, and everyone is different. Sorry I can't...

Great thread!! I have my dream job already!! :D:D Before I went to work for this insurance company, I spent 18 years working in ICU's. I worked 12 hour nights, 8 hour nights, and 8 hour afternoon shifts. I worked every weekend, and almost every holiday. I missed so much of Nicole's childhood...

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are absolutely GORGEOUS and so inspiring!! Thank you so much for sharing these pics!!! Carol :)

Garance, it really depends. When I did my two weeks of Jari's workouts a short time ago, I used mostly 5 to 10#, depending on the exercise. Sometimes that was what Jari was using, and sometimes not. Sorry I can't be more definite, but I really didn't mark them down or anything. Carol :)

Good morning! Planned today is Slow & Heavy/Triceps & Biceps (about to go do that one right now!!), and walking at work 20 minutes. Carol :)

Good morning! I refuse to do IRM until I know when STS is shipping. :D:D I'm sure any 1RM I do will change between now and then. This morning was 30 minutes of Iron Core Way Volume 1 kettlebell circuit. I had planned the entire 45 minutes, but Sarah effectively kicked my behind by 30...

Good afternoon!! Today I did Slow & Heavy/Chest & Back, and I also walked 20 minutes at work. So far this week I've walked a total of an hour at work. Carol :)
