Today was cardio and I was able to do another hour of Cardio Coach. However, even though I stretched my inner thigh before and then during the workout, by the 4th challenge it was getting pretty painful.
I did Press Play and did Challenge #1 through #4. I skipped the 5th challenge due to the pain I was feeling. My goal this week is to stretch my legs every evening and see how I do next week with a CC workout. I'm hoping it's just a case of very tight muscles.
CARDIO STATS:
60 minutes total
8 minutes below zone
13 minutes in zone
39 minutes above zone
485 calories burned
3 miles travelled
Was really hoping for a 500 calorie burn. Probably would have gotten it had I done the entire workout.

Hi ladies - well I did do shoulders/triceps after work yesterday. I did 3x12 so I did lower the weights. Not really feeling it at all today.
SS#1
Shoulder press - 17's
Overhead triceps extension - 25
SS#2
Lateral raises - 11's
Double-arm kickbacks - 11's
SS#3
Rear delt press - 11's
Lying DB triceps extensions - 13's, 13's, 12's
Front into side raises - 2x12 with 8's
My left elbow started to hurt so I didn't do a 4th triceps exercise.
Not sure what I'll do today exactly.
Debbie - that's still a good calorie burn. Oh, not sure if you saw my question from yesterday - but if I want to lean out my thighs (operation booty lift worked too well and skinny jeans are out) should I do more muscle endurance and add in extra inner thigh work?
Nora - awesome job with the workouts and calorie burn. I'm just always amazed!
Roxie - my guess is that the workout is getting easier as you're improving your endurance!

Morning ladies! As you can see, last night ended up being a much-needed Kick night for me and it definitely did the trick. I felt worlds better afterwards. Funny how that happens huh??
This AM I had to be at work super-duper early so I got up earlier so I could fit in STS legs (loooooved it, even though my knee did bug me a bit on the lunges so I took it easy on the wts there) and then abs from butts & guts (Note Roxie that is THREE days this week that I've done abs already, be proud!).
Tomorrow is going to have to be a rest day for me as I'm taking care of my sister and her baby that day (long story) so I'll have no time for a workout, boo! But at least I know in advance what day is "My" day to care for her so I can work my rest days into those days. See? Always thinking.
Heather - I vote you take today to rest. You seem worn out and if you're not feeling it, don't push it. Plus - you've really been upping your overall workouts lately so maybe your body just needs a little rest?
Debbie - good luck stretching those legs, I hate when things like that sideline me a bit from my "normal" workout intensity.
Nora - holy cow on your workout yesterday!! I'm always so impressed by you1! Sounds like it was a fun workout too which always helps

Hi everyone!
Still got some major leg doms from STS D17 on Sunday. Yowza!! My rotation is a little out of whack this week. I ended up taking Saturday off and still need to get STS D16 (Chest/Shoulders/Tris) done. I should have done that one on Sunday but I felt like working legs instead. Yeah, I just said that... Have never been a big leg fan, but STS leg workouts are rockin'!!
Jessica - glad your back!
Heather - "operation booty lift" from yesterday's post made me chuckle...
Debbie - 485 ain't bad, girl! Nice job...
Hi Belinda, Roxie, Chris and Nora!
DH and I are going to pick up our partner med-ball abs tonight!! I think my stomach muscle is healed but I'll take it easy for the first couple of reps just to be sure.

Heather - What exactly was "operation booty lift"? Were you lifting heavy weights? If so, then yes, do endurance work and more floor work. That should definitely lean you out a bit. Heavy lifting tends to make women thicker in the thighs until they lean out.
Jessica - Nice job getting abs done three times this week!
Melissa - You are like me with legs lately, I'm actually looking forward to working them every week. I thank STS for that! Nice job!

Debbie - yes, I was going a bit heavier - adding in lots more static lunges, step ups, squats with low-end pulses. Floor work was mostly glute exercises.

Hi Girls!
It's getting COLD here , 50's, but haven't turned the heat on yet, and I'm goose bumpy!
Heated up for a bit with Turbo Fire HiiT 30. My first time doing it. OMG. It kicked my butt! Spit status, not quite puke status though!
I did the Stretch 40 afterwards. Which felt great! I like that stretch/yoga a lot. Roxie and Nora, what do you think of it?
I'll bbl for personals...going to go drink a HOT tea!

Chris-not a real big fan of Stretch 40 I prefer Stretch 10. Fire 30 is one of my favorites along with TF 45.

Well I'm back from my lunch workout. I did biceps then abs from PH. I tried a new method for reps that I read here: Five Star Arms article by Tom Venuto. (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/fivestararms.htm) He mentions a 4-rep System by Don Ross.
The general idea is to pick 4 exercises and change up the number of reps for each. I did 3 sets of each as a single set starting with 6 reps and increasing by 2 reps so that by the 4th exercise, I did 12 reps:
Dumbbell biceps curls: 3x6 - 20's
Hammer curls: 3x8 - 17's
Incline curls: 3x10 - 15's
Cross-body curls: 3x12 - 15's
I really enjoyed this method! Very cool. Biceps are already talking to me
Chris - exercise is definitely a good way to heat up isn't it! Nice job.

Heather - Interesting method. How long do you plan to do that? Is it your new rotation? Curious minds want to know!

Cathlete
Debbie - not sure - definitely want to try it for back and maybe chest (not sure what 4 exercises I could do: incline press, flye, flat press, decline press perhaps). I may try to find the original article and see what is recommended. It seems to incorporate the best of strength, building, and endurance. Kind of cool.

Good evening,
I ended up doing LIC this evening, felt like doing a circuit workout so I did. Didn't had it in me to do a straight cardio today.
Debbie - awesome job, on CCPP and cal burn today. I am sorry to hear about your pain in your tight.
Heather - nice weights today. Like how you mix it up! Sorry, about your elbow. Thanks for the link, Heather! Very intersting.
Jess - nice job on your leg workout today.
Melissa - good job with D17. Love the leg workouts in STS. Have fun with the med ball abs tonight. That one is fun!
Chris - it's minus 2 C here in Germany, that's cold! My heater been on, lol. Hope you enjoyed FT today.
Nora - holy smokes, on that cal burn today. WTG, girl!
Roxie - awesome job, tonight!
