Three Mega Miles. In May I pulled something in my back and was out of work almost a week. Last night while cleaning and decorating I bent weird and my back feels like it did the day it got hurt. I was careful while exercising and doing everything but I am hopeful that with all the core strengthening I've done with Leslie it will be fine. Again, if I hadn't discovered Leslie I wouldn't have done anything to get core in shape.
Rainy, nasty day here in Florida. Potential tornadoes in the afternoon. My daughter flies in really late on Wednesday from NYC. Praying no delays with her flight!

CalCounter, so sorry to hear about your back!! I can def sympathize!!
Well, I took a hard fall off on my icy porch steps on Sunday. Thank GOD all I did was bruise my A$$ hugely....and maybe my pride a bit, too. So thankful I didn't hit my head or injure my back.
So I received my DVDs!! Tried the Party Songs this morning. Only had time for 2 miles, but I really wanted to (and could have) keep going. Interesting....for some reason, I didn't work up much of a sweat during those 2 miles. The HIIT didn't seem long enough, but I'm sure there is benefit to it. I will have to be careful with some of the moves. I don't like the bouncing in place or the twists....have to be very careful with my knees. I'm on a "as long as you can stand it" timeline on knee replacement on the right and I want to that to be YEARS...also can't do high impact which is a bit frustrating. But I just do marching instead.

My back is still tender but hanging in there! Sorry about your fall, thank goodness you were okay. I have found I have to really exert myself on the HIIT for it to be effective, it took me a few times to realize that. Since I exercise so early, 4:30-5:30 I sometimes realize I've gone through two or three HIITs without even realizing it. I did it with one pound weights the other day.
Yes, the only thing I do not like about these is the bouncing. I can't do it much and now I just jog. I am ok on the twisting. The bouncing is not good for my bladder and it just hurts. Not sure why jogging is okay but not bouncing. I hope she doesn't add bouncing to all new stuff since she says she loves bouncing now that she is older.
My daughter was supposed to fly in tomorrow night. Well, today we all worried because weather in. NYC and in Florida is bad so we got her on a flight tonight but she doesn't land until 11:45! So tomorrow I have to teach my normal job at high school and then go to the night college to teach from 5-10 so I think I better sleep in til 5:45 instead of my usual 4:30! . I am on my feet from 7:30am till 10 pm so it's not like I'm slacking. I will let the students leave early tomorrow night though! But I'll check in on y'all! and when I get up early to put in turkey I may get a party or remix in!
