Good morning, ladies!

I am not doing the Bootcamp challenge today as I will be in transit later and by the time I get home, I am likely to be wiped out. So I will live through you all vicariously! hehehe Also, Thursday nights the SO and I always take the kids out to dinner, which is one of those family ritual things that I really enjoy. So I don't know what I may be doing later; I am hoping to get some cardio in after dinner.

Last night I did "Yoga Booty Ballet," which is from Beach Body. It is kind of new-age-ish but is a fun and invigorating workout. I wanted something that was not Cathe-intense, and focused more on stretching and this really fit the bill. You don't even wear shoes but I was sweating profusely by the end. I am sore today, but more in a stretched way than a DOMS way.... it feels different! You know how weird we are about being sore, lol!

Hope you all have an excellent day!

Today is my last day in the office before vacation. Woo-hoo!

Cheers,
Marie
 
Good Morning.

Marie-How are you spending your vacation?

I'm in the BC challenge today. Haven't done it yet but I definately will! I look forward to the agony! lol :p }( :p

Tomorrow is cardio again for me...easier cardio so I think I will do the gazelle again for a 20-30 minutes and hook it up with a CTX cardio. That will be about an hour's worth of less intense cardio...well, atleast the gazelle won't be intense. ANY Cathe can be pretty intense and the CTX work outs may be short, but they certainly aren't for wimps! }( lol

My full size step has certainly picked my work outs up a notch. I am definately working harder now. Not tons, but I can certainly notice a difference! I like it, I like it! ;-) I see it in my HRM stats too! :D

TTYL!
 
Glad you enjoyed your "Yoga Booty Ballet" Marie. Have fun with your family. Those are the little things that mean the most.
How old are your kids if you don't mind me asking.

I got thru BC and it was a blast. I feel awesome. That was the first time I did the full version. We'll get you next time Marie.

Enjoy your last day at the office! Doing anything for vacation?

I have my guitar lesson today. Can't wait to tell him all about our BC party. We'll probably discuss fitness and other stuff more than I will play my notes and chords!:7

Well have a great day Wendy, Cleo, Jess, Padme and Anybody else you may check in with our little group.:D
Kali
 
Hi guys. I hope you don't mind me jumping in here but I had read yesterday that you were planning on doing BC and that got me motivated to do it this morning. I love that workout and I feel energized too.

Thanks for the motivation, I didn't even need to hit the snooze alarm this morning. ;-)

Traci
 
Good morning Wendy! We must've been typing at the same time!
I'd like to get a full size step too but there are so many DVD's I want too! Decisions decisions. I can just imagine the difference. I was doing all the step w/o's on the floor till I got my step, and I feel like I worked harder at some of the moves on the floor because I could open them up more. Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna fall or step right over my step!x(

I have BodyMax tomorrow for the 1st time. I just did the step segment the other day. Looking forward to the whole workout after hearing you guys talk about it.

Good job Traci. Stop in here anytime. We start a new thread every day. Glad you didn't have to hit the snooze! Way to go girl! LOL:7

Good luck with Bootcamp! Enjoy!..........Kali
 
Welcome to our check in Traci!

Stick around! We do the BC together pretty much every week now! }( }( }(

TTYL!:)
 
Kali,

The step portion of BM eluded me towards the end when I tried it. Did you find the choreography difficult? I have to do that one again but this time I will take out the step portion and do the circuit portion instead. I skipped the circuits the first time I did it. Maybe I'll do it in a couple weeks on one of my circuit days...AFTER I TRY all of the TERMINATOR work outs!!! :) }( :)

Have fun at your lesson!

I suppose you will be by the pool at some point today!? :p
 
I don't think I had a problem. It was my 2nd workout of the day tho so I was doing it without my step. That will take me a few tries to end up on the sides I'm supposed to.x(

It's gonna be a hot one here again. Not as humid tho. Last night was the first night we all slept upstairs in a week. (we only have air conditioning downstairs) It felt great to be off the 2 inch mattress that's on our pullout.
At least I'll be able to get some sun w/o melting.:7

I think I'm gonna order the Terminator workouts today. Whatcha think?
Did you do any of them yet? What time are you doing Bootcamp? Let's go girl! (just joking around):7
Kali
 
hmm, if BC is going to be weekly, can we move it to Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon? Those are the best days for me to do that type of workout. Of course, NEXT week, I will be lying on the beach thinking thoughts of you all! LOL

We are going to Ocean City, MD and then to Baltimore Inner Harbor for a couple of days. The weather forecast isn't looking great, but we are staying in fab hotels with indoor pools and such, so maybe that will be ok.

Wendy, I am thinking about getting a full-size step, too. How much bigger is it from the one you started with? Mine is a Reebok step from the early 90s (lol)... it seems very small to me now that I am stepping a lot!

Kali, my boys are 6 and 13 (almost 14). Do you have children?

Have a great workout, all!

Cheers,
marie
 
I can do it any of those days too Marie. Let's see what the others say.

You're vacation sounds perfect. Even if it does rain. My brother and his family were there last week and it was forcasted to rain like everyday, and it didn't! And the Inner Harbor is awesome! I hope you have a great time. It'll be nice just to get away. That's how I always feel. Isn't it cool to be able to find the good in anything? I believe I can do that only because of what I learned in the program. My friend who is a teacher celebrated 9 years last night at my home group. It was fun.
We're going 2 weeks Saturday to OC,MD too. I cannot wait.

I have 2 sons also, 7 and almost 6. They're a handful but they're good boys I have to admit.

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone!
Kali
 
Good Morning Ladies!!

I haven't done BC yet because I am forcing myself to finish this opinion first. I'm more than half way done though. I'm listening to 80s music as I work on it & occasionally a song comes on that is featured in a Cathe video and it gets me excited.

I'm excited to do BC. I am looking forward to those terminators.

Keep working on BodyMax, girls. I love that workout. It really works ya.

Just wanted to say that I am SOOOO glad I joined you guys in summer shape up. This was exactly what I needed to get back into working out and eating healthy. You guys keep me more motivated and excited about working out than I could by myself. You all are the best!

I'll post again after BC.

Jessica
 
Hey all.

I dissed the BC challenge today :-( but I dissed it for something just as intense...THE VIPER! My first time! AWESOME! }(

cals: 834!!!
avg hr: 136
high hr: 167

Love it love it love it! :+
 
Hello girls,
today I did low max 1-4 and slow and heavy chest and back that I recorded off of FitTV. I don't have BC yet but when I have some extra $ I will order it then I can join you all on BC Thursdays. I hope everyone is well.

Marie-have a great vacation. Get some sun for me.

Wendy-did you like the Viper. Would you recommend it?


:)
 
I loved the Viper! It's a circuit work out but the segments are longer where each BC segment is only a minute or two. It has one segment of C&W step, one IMAX 2 segment/recovery period and a few ME exercises-some lower but mostly upper body. The circuit is repeated 4 times. It's about an hour and a half long I think. It comes on the Terminator DVD and I still have to try the other 2 work outs but if you like the intensity of Boot Camp, you should like this one too. }( }( }(
 
Hey Marie. I don't want to invade your life or anything, I was just wondering if maybe sometime you'd like to meet for coffee or something. I just find it so ironic that you live in CS and I in Pittston and we are both in the program. If you don't I understand completely. That's perfectly understandable. Just let me know if you ever want to meet in person.
Thanks, Kim (Kali)
