good morning!
Deanie, I'm in the same conumdrum as you. Do I run? Do I do something with a little less impact? Should I do a crossfit? What to do...
I will probably, most definitely run.

Good Morning!!
I doing the following workout today. I may add in some swings as well or do some portions of the Goddess workout. Or maybe not.
6 rounds: Go through 12 of each movement then 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2.
Kettlebell Snatch 12/12, 10/10, 8/8, etc.
Kettlebell Push Press 12/12, 10/10, 8/8, etc
Reverse Lunge holding the bell 12/12, 10/10, 8/8, etc
1 arm row 12/12, 10/10, 8/8, etc
Walkouts 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2
Deanie ~ I did not want to get out of bed this morning either. I was so warm and sleepy.
Melissa ~ Enjoy your run or whatever you choose to do.
I don't know what the big deal is about the lack of a cooldown in STS cardio. I do my own. If you have been working out of a number of years, you should do what to do. Marcy, what do you think?
Waves hello to Gayle and Rhonda!

Got my run in! It wasn't a good run, but I feel good. I did 2 miles in 18:23. My runs in the morning are never as good as they are in the afternoons, but even knowing that I still don't like my time. :[ Still, I feel like I got a good workout and my engines are revved :]
Today I am doing lunch with my grandma - I love my grandma! She is so awesome. She practically raised me while my mom was in school and working 2 jobs, so almost all of my childhood memories of being loved have to do with her. We get to lunch while DH takes the boys on a field trip to the Lucas Oil Stadium - where the Colts play, baby!!!
Jane, I am really loving your workouts this week!
Deanie, I can really see the benefits of doing PTTP before ETK! Your c&p's (and I assuming they are KB) are impressive.
Gotta run (not again, just to get ready)! Have a great day everyone!

Good morning!
Jane - Cool workout! I'm actually starting to like walkouts.
Melissa - I think that's still a pretty good run! I've discovered that I'm not a good morning workout person either...even if I get to sleep in. Enjoy your lunch!
Deanie - Sweet workout! Very impressive TGUs yesterday! How exactly do the ladders work?
Marcy - Great workout yesterday! Yeah, I'm trying to reduce the refined carbs in my diet (mostly ditch the sugar and wheat gluten) and increase protein and fat.
Hi Rhonda!!
Tonight is workout B: Squat, Press and Power Clean.
Have a great day!
Jane - Cool workout!

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 you all the right things to get you in proper position. I did the Flying High practice (75 mins.) She does shakti kicks for preparation into handstand. I felt good and strong and was able to hold handstand away from the wall for a few seconds. There didn't seem to be lots of core work but she was always reminding you about holding in your core which really helped. There were a few levitation lifts and I guess plenty of plank work throughout. I was able to get deeper into chaturanga and hold it. She also had you practice going from plank into crow (almost had it but not quite!). But I am able to jump back from crow into chaturanga. Did some good backbends. No standing balance work in this. She also did firefly pose which I was able to do:

I can't wait to do the other 5 practices.
Jane: Re: cooldowns - I have to admit I did miss the cooldowns a little. She did more of a cooldown in some workouts more than others but it wasn't too bad and I can deal with it. I actually need more rests in the HIIT workouts but I just cooldown extra on my own to get my HR down for the next interval. I don't think she made the workouts any shorter by leaving out the cooldown if people have to cooldown on their own anyway but I guess she was keeping to her word about shorter workouts.
Melissa - Hope you have a great lunch with Grandma! You're lucky to still have her with you.
Gayle - I like walkouts too! My yoga practice this morning seemed to have plenty of them but they just get more fluid with the vinyasas.
Deanie - Great job on those TGUs! Impressive!

Good Afternoon!
Jane::: fun workout today! Are you using the same size kb for each exercise?
Melissa::: Enjoy lunch with grandma! great job on the run time!
Gayle::: Have fun with day 2 of SS!
the c&p/pullup ladders I did this morning were:
1l/1r - 1 pullup
2l/2r - 2 pullups
3l/3r - 3 pullups
rinse and repeat!
I also started to increase my fat intake. I was at about 30% and now I'm in the 40% range. I've added more nuts to my diet, and avocados. easy to do and yummy, but I was wondering if 40%ish was too much. I saw Melissa Urban does in the 50% range...I don't eat a lot of protein though, usually about 13-15%, when I was eating more protein it didn't make me feel good
Marcy::: great pose! glad you enjoyed your new workout!

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. I think 40% sounds a little high but see if it works for you. The last few days I've been at around 36% and it's a little too high for me. I'll probably try to keep it at 30% in the future.

Deanie ~ I will probably use my 25 kb for push presses and snatches (although I haven't done snatches in a while so I'll see). For rows I'll use 35 or 44. I'm going to try to use my 35 for lunges.
Melissa ~ Enjoy your lunch with grandma. I miss my both my grandmas.
Marcy ~ I'm glad you enjoyed your workout today!! Good job on the firefly pose!!! I wouldn't even know I how begin to get into that position!
