For all those interested: Recorded the My Fitness Coach stuff today, so hopefully, I can get it edited and up on Youtube by tonight or first thing tomorrow.

Alright, for those of you interested, I took a little footage of the My Fitness Coach. The workout I did, is the cardio workout with emphasis on the step. Remember, your workout is catered to you, your intensity and what equipment YOU have. :)

You can find the video on my youtube account here!

Great week everyone! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Delphi!


I can see why you like this one :). Definitely very different from the Active!. Personally I've never been a fan of the dancy workouts, probably because I have zero coordination and I can't follow and I just get frustrated he he.
You have piqued my interest enough that I am thinking about going to the video store to see if they have it available for rent to give it a try with the kind of workout I like. I will keep you posted!

Have a great weekend everyone!

NSM ~ No problem. :) Well, I like that the exercises scroll at the bottom of the screen so you know what's next at all times. But yeah, I really like the cardio. But I've also set up other profiles to focus only on Strength Training and Core Training, so the focus is completely different as well as different goals for each, so it's an INTENSE focus on those areas. So yeah...me likes it! :carrot:

Okay...been on vacation for a few days and trying to catch back up on life. Things have just been hectic. But i have been getting some excersize in.

While on vacation....I claim 2 hours of walking up and down hills at Sixflags, 30 minutes of laps at the hotel pool, at least an hour of walking to and from and around the Coca Cola Factory and the Aquarium. Then i did manage to hit the gym twice since being back. I got in 30 minutes one day and an hour today.Not alot for a week...but it's something.

Okay...well...i decided to get off my butt after typing this and went outside to cut grass for an hour. I cut the whole front yard and i dug a hole and planted my rose bush i got in april for my birthday. So...i added another hour to my excersize ticker. Definately going to try to hit the gym tomorrow after church and get another hour or two.

That is pretty awesome Delphi, and she doesn't even break a sweat! That just looks like a good old fashioned workout and if anyone asked me to do a lawnmower, well, we'd have to have a little discussion about that.

Next week is beginning of defined running program. I found a podcast that cues you to interval training times and such and I think that's a winner. It's been 5 years and fifty pounds since I ran a lot but I sure loved it, let's hope I can learn to do that again.

June 13 - only 1 walk :( - 30 minutes work out - goal not met :(

Delphi, I think this was talked about way earlier in this thread, but being as usual completely oblivious, I just wanted to say your new avatar picture is foxy! Love it!

Today was beautiful and I went on a 3 mile walk with some friends in teh afternoon, after hitting some tag sales and getting some new beach books in the morning. Hopefully more nice weather is on the way.

Miles completed: 28.5. 11.5 to go.

Keep up the great work, ladies!
