Good Morning! I had a great workout this morning (actually two!) First, I did Amy's KB Dynamics again (Workout #2) which included: Halos - 5x each side (20#) Hand to Hand Swings - 5x - 20# 3 sets Cardio - Slam dunks - run like you're running up to shoot a basket; jump shot; run back -...

Good Afternoon Girls! I went to Bolero class last night. Fun, fun, fun! Even though I had to learn four combos that everyone else was reviewing for the last month but I did okay. This morning I got up a little late so wound up doing Tracy's Post-Pregnancy Workout. Felt more challenging than...

Good Afternoon! My back's feeling better. I did a vinyasa practice this morning - Amba - Where Rhythm & Gravity meet. I seem to be doing more vinyasa lately than power yoga and I like it but will get back to power yoga soon. Managed to do headstand again for a few seconds. Also did...

Good Afternoon Ladies! I did Tracey Staehle's Steady State Step today. Really fun workout that flew by! The only thing I can't stand is some of her lousy camera angles which tripped me up a couple of times. I wasn't sore yesterday from SS but today's a different story. There was hardly...

Good Afternoon! I did all of Squeeze Stronger today (78 mins.) Great total body workout (but not as tough as last time). (DH and Max joined me at the pretzel/clam combo and Max couldn't stop licking while DH was enjoying the show)! Warmup - 3 sets of deadlifts (13#) with alternating knee...

If you do ashtanga or power yoga, you don't have to worry about doing 30 minutes of cardio to warm up. Sun salutations warm you up very well. One DVD I would suggest is David Swenson's Short Forms which as 30-45 minute practices. David is a master at ashtanga yoga. Marcy

Good Afternoon! Well, I finally did a kettlebell workout again! I did Amy's Kettlebell Dynamics for the first time. I liked it. Finally, a kettlebell workout with a warmup which was good. There was one move she started in a plank and then you lean back to touch your toe. There are three...

Jen - I'm sorry to hear of your problems. I had the same. Between allergies, asthma and itching, I was going out of my mind in the winter months. You're not going to like my answer, but the best thing I did was move from New York to Georgia. All of my problems are now gone. It feels so good...

From what I heard on the radio this morning, the extortionist was a guy who was involved with one of the women Letterman had sex with and he was a producer on 48 hours. Letterman testified before the grand jury and he was arrested...

Good Afternoon! I was planning on doing a long yoga session today but I didn't want to get out of bed so I would up doing Petra Kolber's Elegant Strength. This was the first time doing it. I was hoping it would be like Kari Anderson's Reach. It was good for a light day but not as advanced...

Done! Good luck! Marcy

Good Afternoon! I did Cardio Barre Ultimate Advanced this morning. Pretty good workout but there were a few sets where I didn't finish all the reps. Started with 3# on arms but had to go down to 2#. Maybe I should have just done 2# throughout. Used 2# on part of the cardio section...

Go to the search tab above and put in High Step Training Advanced or High Step Challenge or both and you'll get a ton of threads. Here's a search I did...

Heather - I like High Step Training Advanced. It is definitely worth doing. It has some different moves that aren't on most of her other DVDs. The cardio is basic but really gets your heartrate up. There's only about 11-12 minutes of cardio on this one. There are five circuits. Don't get this...

Good Morning! I did Deb Dobbins' Spirit of Vinyasa Flow (Sequence C). No inversions today. Was able to do lotus on both sides. Felt really good today - strong and flexible. Had good balance. Did side crane from eagle (at least on the right side) and backbends. Tried to do some crazy...

I like High Step Training Advanced. It has some different moves that aren't on most of her other DVDs. The cardio is basic but really gets your heartrate up. There's only about 11-12 minutes of cardio on this one. There are five circuits. Don't get this one if you don't like leg presses...

Good Afternoon! I wound up waking up before 3 a.m. and never really went back to sleep but I managed to get through all of Core Synergistics which I haven't done in close to two years. This one still kicks my butt! Burned 404 calories. Stacked Foot/Staggered hand pushups: 30 Banana...

Hi All! Went to the doc today and he said my lung function was perfect!:D Blood pressure dropped from 120/80 to 110/78. I guess everything I'm doing is working. He might even drop my dosage on the Advair (to a pediatric dose) but is waiting to see how I do during the winter months. Also...

I actually liked the show this week. None of the fighting and the madness. Everyone pulling for each other. I thought it was good they focused more on nutrition but I agree probably starting at 2000 would still be enough for them to start losing but since the show's all about big numbers, I'm...
