Re: jillian's cardio kickbox

[Guest guest]

Interesting that you didn't find it nearly as challenging as I did Kassia! I wonder if that doesn't have to do with my needing to work on my cardio endurance. I could do the drills in this all out but would have much preferred more rest in between them to recover and go again. I want to get this one and pull it out every so often as I implement my new training plan just so I can see how that changes for me. Maybe at some point I'll say it isn't all that tough too?!

Guess I may not be getting it all that soon, unless I have enough in gift cards for it... DH just found out today that General Motors is ending the contract he is working on for a supplier. We don't know what that will mean for him in terms of employment. He isn't even sure right now if he's supposed to report to the GM site he's been working at or to his company's home office tomorrow. If you heard a "pop" that was the sound of the little insulated bubble I've had around myself... crap.

jillian's cardio kickbox

morning all,short cardio this morning with jillian's cardio kickbox. it was an okay workout. very basic moves done for certain amount of counts and almost circuit style with repeating alot of the drills. got a bit of a sweat but i wouldn't rate this as an intense workout. will keep it around for those mornings i don't want to think much but its not as intense as i thought it would be for me. its also stuff i would have come up with on my own b/c its not really combinations(like cathe,amy,etc) its just straight drill type stuff. and jillain is jillian just as tough on the workout as she is on the show pretty much. have a great onekassia

hey nancy,never know i just may have had a good morning with endurance LOL. sorry to hear about the contract but hope everything will be alright. all this country has left is faith and to bad so many cannot look past the judgment and greed to truly except it. so have faith and pray things will work out. this whole thing is such a mess. i personally blame greedy congressmen/women for letting this happen. its their job to make sure this doesn't happen . boy the next prez and congress are really going to have a mess to clean up. doesn't matter who wins they are in some deep crap. surprise anybody still wants this job LOL. kassia

No, it isn't totally sure thing. When he came home he told me he'd found out the contract ends at the end of the month so the company he works for has 2 weeks to find him something else (or he does) unless they want to pay him to do something at their home office for a while. We'll see what happens. DH said to take it one day at a time. I'm finding that a bit challenging this evening but I'm also lacking sleep and have been working a LOT lately so that doesn't help. We've been in this situation where it has been out there as a possibility before and he's been laid off before but that was before kids and every other time it has been threatened the economy was much better and less overall gloom and doom. This time is definitely more scary but I'm going to try and take it one day at a time... we've been through worse too... somehow, we'll come through whatever happens. Thanks Darcy.

Hugs! This economy is getting so stressful for everyone. Its part of why I decided to go back to school now, because nobody around here can afford personal training, so I don't have as many clients right now. While it isn't good for the pocketbook, it makes it easy to juggle my class schedule. But I'm lucky, my DH works for the Sheriff's Dept., so I know he'll always have a job. He use to be in the auto industry too, but left about a year ago for this job because with his degree (telecommunications/computers) he can work in most any industry. Does your DH have a degree that would transfer over to another industry that is more secure right now?

Hi Tonya,

Thanks so much for the hugs and note! I talked to DH about the personal training session I had set up and we decided I'd still do one and if I want to, I might do a 2nd. After that though, it all depends on what happens next...

DH's degree is actually English but he has an engineering background and has been doing technical writing for almost 25 years. He's always worked in the auto industry but lately, since he's been doing a lot of software-related tech writing he could probably get a job in another field... if there were jobs in other fields... we're near Detroit, the Motor City... there's not a lot of other technical industries though Ann Arbor (also near us, closer than Detroit really) has software so perhaps he can try there but there don't seem to be any more secure industries here lately. Ugh.

Today was a better day though. I felt less hopeless and looked at what we do have (his health is improving, me and the kids are healthy, we do have a decent emergency fund saved up and we can cut some expenses but not a lot) so that's what I'm focusing on. I worked today too and there are always people coming in upset about their weight and their health (who may or may not be really working to change things) and they make me feel better because some I know I'm really helping and others I can just and once again realize, well, we do have our health for the most part... (gotta find something somewhere to be positive about or you just go crazy). Thanks again!

I don't know if they have the same programs in Michigan, but here in Georgia, there is a program that anyone with a Bachelors can do a quick certification and become a teacher. With an English degree, I bet he could easily change over to that. While it probably wouldn't pay as much as technical writing, it is one of those industries we will always need so more recession proof income. Just a thought of something to look into. I'm having to do something similar right now. I don't have many clients for personal training and my little candle business is really just so I can get discounts on my candles for my yoga classes and personal use, because they are luxury items that a lot of people can't afford right now. So I'm going back to school to eventually have my degree in physical therapy. Even when there is no money, people still have accidents and need a physical therapist to get back to being able to work and live a normal life, so it is a recession proof job. Not as glamorous as what I wanted to do (personal training for the rich and famous! LOL), but a steady paycheck and a similar field.

Hi Tonya,

I think they have something like that here too but DH is NOT a teacher... he is horrible at teaching/explaining things to other people, especially if it is a technical subject and the person is not technical. I've always teased him about it because I actually am a certified teacher (secondary English & Spanish)! My certification has lapsed but I could probably take a couple of classes and renew it and could still probably substitute now but I don't really want to if I don't have to. Thanks for the idea (for DH) anyway. He'll get a laugh out of it at any rate! My WW job and especially a job I have helping with a website were supposed to pay for luxury items for me too... right now, I've got a check from my website job that is going right into the bank, darn. I was thinking about going back to school for an OT degree but school costs money too so that's not a happy option right now and I'm just not excited about it either at this time. We'll get through this. We've gotten through worse. He'll get unemployment if it becomes necessary, we have an emergency savings account and we've got some things we could cut and other things we could sell if it really became necessary... we've got our health, we've got our kids, we've got each other... things could be a whole lot worse... I'm actually doing a lot better this evening than I had been earlier. I'm still not working out tonight though! ;-)
