  January 2022 Monthly Rotation Sunday - Treadmill Monday - Cathe Strength Tuesday - Cathe IMAX Wednesday- Cathe Strength Thursday - Cathe Step Friday - Cathe Strength Saturday - Stretching The Cathe Strength workouts are from her PHA workouts.  PHA style workout is one of my favorite forms of doing strength training It alternates lower and body exercises.  These workouts move super quick. I am three weeks into this rotation and it has gone well.  Started the month off with left hip discomfort. So each time I would do squats, side lunges, deadlifts - I would feel it. This week I didn't feel much of that discomfort. In addition to this rotation, I am also doing the nightly Controlled stretch series from Autumn's Beachbody Control Freak series.  One of my goals is to increase my flexibility.

This is from when I first started fasting. These are the protocols I followed for the first 4 rounds.

Hello All, It's 2022.  Looking forward to good things to come. No resolutions for me this year but I do have goals.  I have broken my health and fitness journey in rounds.  I am in Round 9. Round 9 started January 2 and goes to April 2.   I began this journey I am on now June 1, 2020.  The foundation of this journey has been fasting. Today Saturday January 22, 2022, put me at the end of week 86 and day 601.  While it has not been easy and there have been ups and downs, I am very happy to have started. I wish all of you a happy 2022 and significant progress towards your goals.   

  December 2021 Workouts - What I did. Planned rotation got interrupted with an unexpected trip.  I was able to lean into Jessica Smith YouTube workouts to get in some focus exercise. That ended up being okay as I had planned to do Kelly Coffey-Meyers two new workouts but they will not be shipped out until next year. This month consisted of Treadmill walks, Cathe, Zumba, The FIRM, Jessica Smith and Tracie Long. I did do a workout from Classical Strength Season 14. I did not really like that workout. The Tracie Long Focus workouts were deceptively tough. It has been a minute since I have done these workouts.

Total Stretch for Beginners with Tamilee Webb is a compilation DVD that contains two of Tamilee's previously release stretch workouts. The two programs on this DVD are: Total Body Stretch for Beginners Beginners Stretch for Flexibility Total Body Stretch for Beginners is broken down into three 10-minute  segments.  Segment one is standing.  Segment two is sitting.  Segment three is floor.  I did these segments after my Sunday treadmill runs.  Segment two requires a chair.  Segment three a mat. I really enjoyed these workouts.  In each 10-minute workout, I felt I got a total body stretch workout using the various positions. In Beginners Stretch for Flexibility , Tamilee starts out by giving beginner tips on technique and breathing. She then proceeds to take you through a series of modified yoga and athletic poses, starting at the top and moving down the body. As she goes through the workouts she points out what muscle group you are stretching....

All in all, you are doing three sets of each of the excises and you are doing each exercise for a minute.

Some are single count, some you are doing a 3/1 count etc. Kelly uses two sets of  weights (light and heavy). Throughout the workout you will hear the timer bell go off, signaling the start and/or stop of the minute. There is a warm up and cool down but there is no menu. As soon as you put the DVD in, the DVD begins to play and goes straight into the workout after about 20 seconds.  Joining Kelly in the workout is Noelle. ...
