YAY Carolyn's back!!!! I'm glad you enjoyed your workout and so good to see your post. I'm sure you'll be plenty sore since you missed doing the video's. But that's a good thing.

Great job Carolyn. I have also been extremely busy and UNmotivated to workout...GRR... If I don't force myself to workout after a day off, I am in trouble. I am recognizing this, and WILL find a way to fix the problem.

Anyway, I did Spreen's Step to the Third Power, after ten minutes of Abbie's Step Appeal. I ended up only getting about 40 minutes in before children woke up, but at least I did something. I have to train tonight too, so I will get a bit more. I think I am going to add more cardio and less weights into my routine As much as I love my weights, those two weeks that I did a lot of weights and less cardio did nothing for this body of mine..ugh.. I want to lose some more flab, and am tired of battling it! Grr...

hi everyone! i finally have a video workout to report... yay!

on tuesday i actually had time to workout, after 2 weeks of

hardly having time to fit in anything....wheew!!

im paying the price for putting myself last... flab and weight

gain so im glad that i finally got back in action again.

anyway, i did 'kickbox core cross train' with patricia moreno.

i was really looking forward to this workout, yet did have

some reservations because some people were saying that the

workout is too easy. now, i know that im kind of de-conditioned

but i did NOT think that this was easy! actually i thought that

the workout was great, and clocking in at 80 mins long, does not

put it in the beginner category. if you are looking for a high

impact cardio workout, then look elsewhere. but if you are

looking for kickbox drills, taught especially with the core in

mind, and put into combos, then you are in the right place.

despite not being 'cardio', my heart rate made it up to 85% of

max, i burned 400 cals in an hour and had sore muscles all over

my body this morning. (note that i did not do the entire

workout... just 60 mins, leaving 20 mins for another day).

also, i really like patricia. sure, she talks through the whole

workout, but it is all very valuable info about proper form and

some motivational stuff. when she cues, she does it very well.

but she does not cue every single move, which can make a

person a bit hesitant on the first run-through. i do think that

she did this on purpose to facilitate repeated viewings (when you

know the workout and dont need a bunch of cues for repetitive

movements). anyway, i recommend this one and i am looking

forward to getting this dvd out again.

i also walked with chinook yesterday for an hour which brought my

total cal burn for the day up to 760! whoo-hoo! perhaps that

hour walk made the video workout seem harder, i dunno. but i

was thrilled to have had such a good workout day, and the

endorphins were fabulous

today (wednesday) i took my sore bod out for a walk with the dog

for an hour (300 cals)... i started out well but was dragging my

butt by the end. i had to drink a couple of coffees and take

pain meds to get rid of the muscle aches, but by noon i was

feeling great and was able to get a bunch of housework done. i

wanted to do another video workout today, but i didnt fit it in

:/ oh well, thats ok... i will ensure that i do one after

walking the dog tomorrow.

Good job, Cola Pop! Great workout! It was nice to read your opinion

on this one. I sure like in Powerstrike, but in those

workouts I don't get to see her personality shine through. She cues

very well in them and there's something warm about her that draws me

to her.

Walks are soooooooooooo nice, lucky Chinook! I haven't been able to

walk much this week due to house stuff and I'm in a Microsoft Project

class these last two days. I can't wait to walk more through my new

'hood (assuming I get this place). I'll be on the NE side of Mt.

Tabor instead of the west side of Mt. Tabor, so it will be fun to bike

up the small mountain from a different side and see things differently.

It's so gorgeous here, and it's supposed to get to 90 degrees today!

YES! Bring on the sun and the heat!
