Good Afternoon! Sorry I've been gone for a few days. I was off on Friday and I've still had my cold since last week. Friday - Did Gravity and Grace by Peter Sterios. Really tough yoga practice! I also did the advanced hip openers and advanced backbends segment. He got me into positions...

Yes, I have a pullup bar. You can pick one up at Target. I think it's called the Iron Gym. Or if you have a park nearby, you can practice them on the monkey bars. For a chinup, grab the bar with your palms facing towards you and lift your chin up over the bar. Pullups are done with your...

Congratulations, Zozo! I remember when I could finally do all 72. The one that did it for me was first chinups and then pullups. There was nothing more gratifying than getting my chin over that bar! Marcy

Good Afternoon! I decided to sleep in a little longer this morning so I didn't have time for much but I did 1 pullup, 6 chinups, Shoulder High from PY4H2 and managed to do a couple of straight leg levitation holds. I'll be taking my 2-step class later. I just read that Exhale is opening...

Melissa - Sorry I missed the game (but I must confess we're not football fans in our house) but glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I mean Tracy Anderson and I know what you mean. I can't say much for her business practices but I do have to say her workouts are very effective for me. Re Cathe's Ab...

Good Afternoon! I've had a cold all weekend and rested but I really had to workout today. I did 30 Day Shred Workout #3 (on paper it doesn't look that bad but it's tougher than it looks). The slow scissors kill me! And also the plyo lunges coming down SLOWLY. Then I did Pilates from STS...

Gayle - I sent her an e-mail. I'll let you know when I get her info. Marcy

Good Afternoon! I did 30 Day Shred Workout #2 this morning and Core Fusion Glutes & Thighs Kneeling Gluteal Toner this morning. The chair squat with V-Fly was still tough for me with 8#. Went up to 12# on Pendulum Lunge with Hammer Curl (up 2#). The rest was: Walkout pushups Squat with...

This is me exactly! I was about 125 up to April. Then the birthdays came and all the cake. But even though things calmed down after April, I haven't really seen the 120s since. I just did Shred again this morning and it felt really good. I'm thinking about doing Shred about 3x a week along...

Good Morning! I did Mark Blanchard's Culmination from his Sedona series. Really good practice today. I did three headstands: 1 for 7 seconds, 1 for 15 seconds and the third for 20 seconds with legs in a split. Did dolphin pose (forearm stand) for about a second and did handstands against...

Hello! My name is Marcy and I am a reformed burpee hater! (I can't believe I said that but they're just not as bad as they used to be but I'm probably not doing enough of them). Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I did Jules Benson's Total Core Pilates for the first time yesterday. Not overly...

Good Afternoon Ladies! This morning I did 1 pullup, 2&3/4 chinups, Lauren's 12 minute workout and pretzel and turned out thigh segments from Core Fusion Glutes & Thighs. Upped my weights on 1-arm rows to 33# from 30# - 9 reps For deadlifts, I used two 20# kbs instead of one 25#. I really...

Good Afternoon! Where is everbody today??? I did Tracy Anderson's Mat Workout this morning. Wanted to do Cardio Barre but didn't want to deal with the frenetic pace. The arm work in this one doesn't seem to be getting any easier although I managed to use 3# for all the weighted arm work...

Deanie - Sorry for the Phillies' loss!:( You can come on over to my house - plenty of Tootsie Rolls left over! The favorite at our house is $100,000 bars. Handstands were definitely hard. The segment was over 7 minutes long and I admit to taking a couple of breaks. Marcy
