Check-In: Les Mills Combat 60 Extreme Cardio Fighter w/weighted gloves
This one seemed to start off a little slow but built up quite nicely. I think these workouts can be very effective, but they don't have the fun factor that TF has. Another thing is that this workout is suppose to be 60 minutes, but it's only 53 minutes. There's a considerable difference in 53 minutes and 60 minutes. I ended up working up a good sweat, though.
Teacher I am still sore in my shoulder blade/back area. I have used weighted gloves every day. Since the workouts don't more as fast, I am trying to put power into my punches. I think I am feeling that power. Still thinking about you during this time.
Laura Another wish for you! I'm glad you enjoyed the pizza and cake. Where did you get the cake? I think you can get vegan cakes here. I think I have seen them at Whole Foods. I'm not sure on the price. It seems like anything healthy is more expensive.
Laura It appears that Combat 30 and Live 30 are the same workouts and Combat 60 and Live 60 are the same workouts. The difference is that the Live workouts are in front of a live audience. If this is true, I'm not happy that BB did that. Have your workouts arrived yet?
Diana - so sorry you aren't liking the workouts as much as you thought...you can send them back for a refund...I'm getting worried because we seem to have the same taste in workouts. Should come tomorrow.
Taught my kids class today for cardio then will do upper 20 tonight. I LOVE upper 20 2-3 times a week
Check-In:
Les Mills Combat Live 30 w/weighted gloves
Cathe Friedrich MMA Boxing w/weighted gloves
I have officially done all of the Combat workouts in the basic set. I'm disappointed in the set but will keep it. This is the way I see it: the two 30 minute and 60 minute workouts are repeats, so instead of having four workouts with those, it's actually only 2. I don't like the Hiit workouts. So, I paid $60 for 3 workouts. That's $20 a piece and about an average cost for workouts today.
Laura Post your thoughts on Combat when you get it.
Diana- thanks... the hip hurts when I get up in the morning. However, the shot did help a lot. Funeral was so hard but a great tribute to her life.
Laura- how often do you teach your kid class? I have a personal question for you- Do people ask when your going to have kids? Just wondering because if I remember right you don't have kids yet. I get this all the time even yesterday at the funeral. It's not a scary question because we want kids just not yet. It's just that people then tend to comment of how I'm getting older and not to wait. Some people lack a filter. I might have already talked with you about this. It comes up with me every few months when I see friends I rarely see. I just found a funeral the wrong place to talk about my biological clock. Although, it's already on my mind with my birthday next week. Sorry about the rant... just needing to vent.
Diana...not too happy about what I'm hearing about Combat. Why in the world would they sell 2 of the same workouts in 1 set?! I'm a coach and still hasn't come yet! UGH
Teacher - I know what you mean...people can really lack a filter. I'm 35 now and I'm really not asked it too much anymore. Co workers used to ask me frequently right after we got married. It's a personal choice and I don't think we're going to have kids - but imagine if I was someone who really wanted them but couldn't physically and people kept asking?! You're plenty young for kids and it's NONE of their business! My sister in law was 39 with their one child.
Side note - Since I lost weight people are ALWAYS asking what I'm eating. Gets annoying...
I teach the class 1 time per week and it's ending next Wed.
3 mile run and abs 10 tonight!

I wish BB and the Les Mills group would put out another Sports Attack workout. That's a good one!
Teacher I'm glad you had a good day with teaching and the field trip. Sounds like you really enjoyed yourself. Sorry you had to go through that with the questions at the funeral. DH and I don't have children. It was a personal choice. It's between you and your DH about when you want them. We also got asked a lot about that. I will share this story. It's funny, but maddening at the same time. Neither DH nor I ever wanted children. EVER! We were married 5 years and we decided it was time for one of us to get things taken care of permanently since we didn't want children. I talked to my Dr. He would not hear of it. He said that I was too young and didn't know what I wanted in life. I may not know what I want in life, but I knew that I didn't want a child. So, we sought out a urologist for DH. He talked with us for 10 minutes and agreed that it was the right thing to do. So to back up a little, my MIL never liked me. When she was in our lives, all she did was cause drama for us. We eventually had to stop having contact with her. A few years ago I was really thinking about my MIL and curious if anything had changed with her thought process. Out of the blue she called! That was scary! Anyways, I tried talking with her, thinking maybe we could get somewhere. She went into a fit about how I made her son get a V and I was a greedy little girl, blah, blah, blah! It was insane. Nope, she hasn't changed. I'm still curious about which one of our friends talked to her behind our back and told her that he had a V in the first place.
Laura Enjoy the party tonight. Post your thoughts on your first Combat workout ASAP!
That's too bad that you MIL wasn't kind to you. Again - it's only the couples' business if they want kids! People do have a way of butting in, like they're entitled to a comment. It's such a personal choice, yes, and I do question sometimes if I've made the right one, but I'm not willing to stop working and my husband won't be a part time stay at home dad. We don't have anyone to depend on to care for a baby in our family, either, during work hours. Funny enough I had a dream that I was pregnant last night! YIKES! HAHA ... my dogs truly are my babies.
On a different note, I did Les Mills Combat and I liked it! It's NO Turbo Fire, but nothing can compare to TF! I did the instructional one and the 30 minute kick start. Was a good workout and I'll give it another try tomorrow!
Teacher - is your bday the 18th?

Happy birthday Laura!!!!!! 
Glad you enjoyed your pizza & cake. 
Still thinking about you during this time.
wish for you! I'm glad you enjoyed the pizza and cake. Where did you get the cake? I think you can get vegan cakes here. I think I have seen them at Whole Foods. I'm not sure on the price. It seems like anything healthy is more expensive.
