Muscle & Grace Upper Body workout plus calves
Bendy Body (Release the Lower Back practice)

Beth, I miss the house we had in Alaska and the greenery during summers there but overall I'm happy to be back in CA. I love being within driving distance to my kids, my sister and nephew.

Today’s Workout was Jessica Smith’s Waistline Work from her 5 Mix & Match Miles dvd AND Yoga with Bird’s 5-Minute Morning Yoga Full Body Stretch (DAY 4) 7 Day Morning Yoga Journey. Interesting that Days 1 through 3 were "Morning Yoga Challenge," while today was "Morning Yoga Journey."

Having DOMS today in my thighs and glutes after Kelly’s lower body workout yesterday.

Margot I thought she looked familiar - congrats on your results with her! I'm a pear shape too, and I've heard that other pear shapes have had great results with Callanetics and similar. I've tried to do a few rotations but never have gotten those results.

Pam, wow, that's something about the cougars there! I saw some stupid movies about grizzles when I was younger that scared me; they said that the grizzly was 2 stories tall, so I thought one could get me in my second floor bedroom.

Pat, did you decide to purchase?

Paine, I know how much you enjoy being near your family!

Carolyn, my own mix & match today was from KCM.

Todays workouts:
~Taught Essentrics
~Functional fitness, the start of spring cleaning, today was cupboards & drawers
~Long stretch, yin, & acupressure as usual

Margot - Thankfully I have not seen a cougar, lol. Those are great results from HealthBarre!

Beth - We do have a lot of wilderness on the island along with plenty of deer & also elk further up the island. So the cougars have a plentiful food source. And it’s not heavily populated, less than 1,000,000 people total, most in the southern half.

Waves to all!

Miranda's Back Pain Relief and Prevention DVD (full workout)
CS 421 (Back Pain Prevention episode)

My lower back is tweaky so did some of Miranda's back pain workouts. I feel thankful that I have most of Miranda's DVDs.

Sandra, that 500 error is so annoying! Sometimes if I break up my post into two shorter posts then I am able to post.

Hello all!

I took it easy today, after waking up at 2.30 am:
- Ellen B Serene Strength
- Local walk through a couple of villages and open countryside
- Pete Caughey Qigong for the Eyes

Sandra - I hate getting that 500 server error! Hope you have more success later.

Pam - Good for you getting a start on your spring cleaning. We have some painting and decorating to do next week and then after that I plan to get going on mine.

Beth - I subscribed to Callanetics a few times over the years for a month or two and didn't see any results either. It took me somewhere between 2 to 3 months, doing 2 short and 2 long classes 4 times a week before I saw a real slimming down in my stomach, hips and legs. There is some upper body work but I like to add on some extra work from other instructors. Your grisly bear story is so cute. When I was little, I used to hide behind the sofa when the daleks appeared on Dr Who!

ETA Paine - Sorry you tweaked your back. Hope the CS workouts helped.

Waves to all!

Margot, interesting about what you needed to do in order to see results. Oh yeah, some of those 70s TVs shows were scary!

Sorry to hear some of you are getting errors.
