That is a good way to describe AL5, LOL! It certainly is a tedious workout

in parts. I finished AL5, too, today. I'm still not back to normal after

the flu (I've decided I had the flu since it lasted so long), but I did it,

plus BL2. It wasn't pretty. I'm proud of myself most though for the

decisions I made last week not to exercise and stay home from work with the

flu and my decision last night to skip my favorite cardio kickboxing class

because of my lingering cold. That takes real discipline for me to say no to

exercise.

Way to go, Patty. Now can you PLEASE give me a little review of BL12? Is it

a good tape. Which basic tape is it most like, if any? Is is fast paced?

Is the music good? Who is on it that we know?

Well, I made it through the Wednesday challenge, but just barely. I'm still

recovering from my cold/flu and some days it seems I have no energy and

others days I seem ok. Last night I just kind of went through the moves,

and didn't feel like I got a great workout...but at least I did get a work

out in. Hopefully, I'll be 100% soon!

That would make sense, because he does often " jump " in

there on the Advanced ones and does a pretty good

warmup on the Basics. The cool downs could be a bit

longer.

stretching on her own to stay flexible and limber

Most definately. In the past, it would be easy for me

to come up with excuses not to and not think twice

about it. Now, I'm so addicted, that I make sure that

I get at least 3 days in, I aim to get at least my 4-5

in, depending on my schedule each week.

Sandie, Tae and Bo who in a few months will be

celebrating her 2 year Tae-Bo-Versary !!!

Hello everyone, I have been hit with a flu bug this week too and havn't done

anything since Mon. I am still not feeling good enough to exercise but hoping

to attempt abs and glutes tomorrow, al5 is out of the question for this week.

I am keeping my fingers crossed I can do abs and glutes, it won't be pretty but

I want to keep the challenge going if at all possible.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Love ya,

Phyllis

Phyllis, I really feel for you. The flu just drains all energy from you.

Definitely stay away from AL5 this week. Maybe try breaking the abs and

glutes tape into two separate workouts? It will still count as meeting the

challenge. And, by breaking it into two, you might not get so worn out.

That was my biggest problem (exhaustion and not being able to breathe of

course) the last two weeks. Actually the floor work was a godsend because it

didn't require the hard breathing of a cardio tape. I also dressed really

warm for the workout (tights and longer shirt instead of shorts and a tank

top) and exercised upstairs where it was warm instead of the basement. Also

plan on taking lots of breaks for water and kleenex (if you need it). Good

luck! I hope you feel better soon.

Hi, I wanted to thank everyone for the get well wishes.

I am feeling better, still not myself but doing much better day to day.

I was able to complete abs and glutes yesterday.....felt good to stay in the

challenge.

I paused the tape twice to walk around the room and stretch but all in all

didn't do too bad. I took Elena's tips and stayed upstairs for the workout and

kept warm.

Not sure what I'll do today, I may try a basic even if I do it from the

chair...just feels good to be up and moving around again.

Now I am thinking Weds is only a couple days away......

Hugs,

Phyllis

Phyllis, I am so proud of you! You did it even with the flu! Way to go!

Only two more weeks (that is, for those of us who are not continuing with the

challenge into the new year).
