Hi everyone!
It's been a crazy day where I could do my workout until much later than I had wanted. I also had to take a big break between Cardio Coach and starting weights. Due to my dizziness of the laste few days it requires me to take bigger rest periods between cardio and weights or abs whatever it is I'm doing that day.
Today's workout:
Cardio Coach Volume 3= 45 min.
Calories burned = 553
Distance= 3.02 miles
Below zone for 3 min.
In zone for 13 min @135 BPM
Then drop to below zone @ 124 BPM for 3 min.
8 min @146 BPM (80% of MHR) 8 min
9 min @150-154(80%+ but not quite 85%of MHR)
Cool Down for 5 min BPM starting at 153 and was 75 when done.
Cardio Coach always makes me feel so awesome.
RESTED
STS- Legs- Disc 12, marks the end of Meso Cycle 1, week 4
Time= 54 min
Calories burned= 442
I have to say I'm loving STS and very impressed with the results I've gotten in just four weeks. I know I'm going to miss weights next week with that being my active rest from weights completely, kind of makes me sad.
Oh well, I guess I can do cardio coach, Cathe's step DVD's, yoga, and abs then.
I truly felt like the 70% of my 1 RM was dead on for the most part. It was not a cake walk, but it was challenging but doable. The only real thing that gave me trouble was again the one leg deadlifts with toes eleveated 3/1 counts. My being MS balance challenged these were bears for me to do and keep from falling on my face. I did try to hand in there and do all but two reps on each leg. I am surprisingly getting the hang of one leg slide back lunges with paper plates while holding a dumbell in each hand. Those are fun, and it helped to watch Cathe's Cathe TV tips on correct form while doing these. I reviewed that before attempting and it was very doable. Thanks for Cathe TV on STS I appreciate it tons! Wall squats are still a challenge but its improving. I noticed that Cathe usually gets us good with the bands but this time she did it in the bonus section with the ball. Oh man, did I feel those. As always, I'm loving the paper plate work it is really tough but works you good. I don't know about anyone else but man did this 4 weeks just fly by with this or what? STS is just amazing and so much fun and addictive too. Thanks Cathe for bringing this amazing workout to us, it sets yet another Gold standard which you are known for.
You Rock!
Core Max- Premix- 18 min

Well, that's it for me today! I'm off to hit the shower and eat a healthy clean simple dinner. Have a great evening everyone, and I'll see ya at the next check-in.
Hugs!
