Jacque ~ It was a 60 minute session but for youtube, the videos can only be a maximum of 10 minutes long. So I tried to edit it to where I could show a variety of the exercises.

icandoallthings6613 ~:^::^::^: thanks! I don't think you are in the June challenge for weightloss, and that's usually where I do personals. We would love to see ya over there as well. :) I keep forgetting to do them here, because so many of us are in both. ;) At any rate, you are doing a wonderful job with your commitment and providing such a positive example to others as well. So :bravo:

Tummygirl ~ :lol: Hey I thought about taking some footage of the Active as well so you guys could see how to do the grocery cart/lawn mower/ lasso :lol: I might do that as well. :lol:

I don't know if I could do that for an hour straight...but you did GREAT burning that many calories and doing it for that long.

Thanks Jacque! :hug:'s! I really do enjoy it. Actually, I'm burning over 500 calories per session according to the GoWearFit, so I know I'm getting a great workout. The intensity is up really high on my cardio sessions though, but I'm a junkie to. I need to sweat, I need to feel like when I work out, that I WORKED OUT. Ya know? This for now, does it for me. Now how long it will, that remains to be seen. But for now, it will do! :)

Although today was my day off of exercising--that didn't stop me from gardening my butt off (man how I wish I was speaking literally! ;))! Shoveling, digging, more shoveling...more digging...I'm so stinkin' beat! And I am very glad my upper body st'ing isn't tomorrow! :lol: Thank goodness for Monday morning HIIT training! ;)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!! :)

Worked out today at the gym. 45 minutes on the treadmill at a 3.7 or 3.8 speed and did 30 minutes lifting weights. Mostly upper weights. Going to try to get in two hours tomorrow. One hour in a weights class and then another hour later in the day in a Power Pilates Class.

Thanks, Delphi...I don't do the weight loss thread mainly because I don't weigh myself very often and my focus has started to be a lot more about fitness than shedding pounds (though my current plateau may make me change my mind about that). It's easier for me to focus entirely on exercise...I've got a limited attention span ; )

Today, the sun was out again (hoorah!) and I played some tennis and went for a 3.5 mile walk. So 32 down, 8 to go. Looks like I'll make my goal after all!!

Great work ladies! Keep pushing yourselves!

Made it through day one of week 3 HIIT--it was easier than I thought it would be--that is, I didn't die or anything. :lol: Had to do my workout on the treadmill though (hubby woke me up late), so I'm guessing that might have something to do with it feeling easier than it should.
