Also, I've never understood the total adoration for that streaming service that routinely puts up content late.

After 6 months of streaming (including the GYBG challenge and our Zerodark team that I loved being a part of!) I had to cancel my subscription to TA. I was not seeing the same results as I did when doing Tracy's earlier workouts plus the cost of streaming is just to much for my family's budget. I love love love to workout on a rebounder too and I am super excited to start LEKFit!! Thank you, once again, for sharing it!

Sorry you...Hello Shan, nice to see a post from you. Sorry you were feeling poorly but am glad to read you are feeling better now. The LEKfit thing looks interesting. I've been doing different things sporadically, but nothing intensive or consistent. Seems like a good time to try something new. And wow, you should have mentioned the cost! The second you said 'streaming' I was like 'oh no,' because even though I wanted to do TA streaming, I couldn't afford it and probably couldn't justify the cost even if I could. But $15.99 a month! Now that's more like it. I definitely want to try it since you've recommended it so highly, I could use a new workout, and it won't break the bank! Thanks, and keep in touch (lol), I know you are busy but I like your blog posts. Congratulations btw on being so busy with writing work.

My very good friend has it too and she suffers something awful. But sounds like you are finding ways to manage it.<br />Any sort of chronic or immune illness is so challenging because you really do have to set ego aside and let your body dictate what it can and cannot do. I guess that is why I love LEK because of the pace and the options. I can choose what is right for me on the day and no one is on my shoulder saying you have to do this or workout for this long or this many days. Plus my body is responding to it so I'm thrilled.<br />So happy our paths have crossed once again.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040527560710894077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515681361792943705.post-43831960943838212192017-09-07T07:05:05.584-07:002017-09-07T07:05:05.584-07:00Yes bouncing.

I followed your mastering the method b...Hi Shannon,<br />I followed your mastering the method blog when I was doing Meta with Tracy Anderson in 2011. We exchanged a couple of emails then and when I was having foot pain, your advice kind of shook me out of denial. Although I loved your words and following your journey, I was going through such a hard time I stopped reading. Long story short, my foot would not heal and eventually needed to get a bone removed. Through that process a lot of underlying health issues unfurled, leaving me with 30 lbs of weight gain, honestly would have been the worst thing, if I didn't feel so horrible. A few years later I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme, among other things and am slowly recovering. Through the years I tried to go back to TAM and since I was always in pain, I wouldn't be able to move for a few days after doing 10 minutes of a beginning video. Last year I started doing stretches with a foam roller, mostly for pain management and to just move a bit, eventually adding in gentle movements on the rebounder. This past spring, I saw an article about LEKfit and she used the same rebounder and was a dancer (was one for most of my life) I tried it. I had to put my ego aside and go slow and did the gentle pregnancy video for quite some time. After I left my demanding job as a therapist at a high school, I started the bounce and sculpt workouts, pretty regularly. I have to make modifications and sometimes that means not doing it for a week, I'm not losing weight or getting in the shape I normally would, but what I'm gaining means more. I saw a comment on her instagram last week and thought it was you. It led me to this new blog and it's so funny although our journeys have been different, there are similarities too. I can see you have had a lot of success, brava btw!!! You have struggled and it hasn't been easy. I wish you all the best and am glad I found your words again ��Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158317084028573550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515681361792943705.post-28145112818141789622017-09-04T15:10:43.287-07:002017-09-04T15:10:43.287-07:00I'm so thrilled you found something you like &...I'm so thrilled you found something you like & is working for you. Plus - bouncing. I know how much, you like the rebounder. Boing-a-boing-a-boing-a. Damn. Now I'm kind of missing our trampoline. <br /><br />And YOUR SWEET LITTLE ADRENALS!!! Geez Louise, friend. No wonder you were dragging. I'm prone to anemia, so I know how weird that feels; but with the adrenal fatigue on top of it?? Lordy-loo! You take care of yo'self! I'll send extra Niblet pictures. Because, obviously, squirrel photos are correlated to health and wellness. (She ate ten whole nuts yesterday...I kept thinking, "that's got to be like seven squirrel sandwiches. Or if Nate ate three pizzas. She is an amazing vacuous pit of hunger - wrapped in a tiny little squirrel body")<br /><br />xoxo - Myla <br /><br />divabuddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825711601275278747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515681361792943705.post-64131853822977282712017-09-02T14:39:19.870-07:002017-09-02T14:39:19.870-07:00Shan!

So great that you wrote this piece, it's been a while...<br />I'm so happy you found a workout that makes you happy AND works for your body without you having to kill yourself to get it done. LEK Fit looks like an amazing workout and I love that you can put short sequences together and that you don't need much equipment. Once my knee is fixed, I think I'll try the trial and see how it feels.<br />I know you suspected thyroid for a while so now you have a diagnosis, I hope you'll be able to get the treatment you need to get your body working how it should again. For me, it only took a few weeks to lose the tiredness, anxiety and everything that seems to come with under-active thyroid. <br />Can't wait to see the fruits of your labour on the screen, I think it's all coming together for you!!! <br />Janice xJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934686211803891455noreply@blogger.com
