Hardcore Check in April 18,2009 Saturday

[WD]

I thought that I would get this started. This morning I am doing some cardio and will do STS no equipment abs and yoga based abs. I have people coming to look at our house at 3 and we are going to meet friends for dinner at 5 so I have a busy afternoon and evening

Sonya, I don't blame you for being ready to get started again

Morning!

Diane Sue: Enjoy that cardio- I'm a bit envious!

Sonya: Oh I get that feeling- can't wait to get those endorphins. It's addictive!

Linda: Woo hoo on the weight loss! Did I say that already? Anyway, even if I did, still reason to celebrate again, right?? I am also out of the 140s now- hooray for us!

I'm taking a rest this weekend to help give this tendon a rest- it's better this way than an injury that sidelines me for months. It irritates me, though.

Have a great weekend everyone! Good weather here today so we're taking the kids to the park.

Today was Back and even though I didn't feel like working out, once I got started I had an excellent workout. HR was up through the entire workout.

Lost 1# this week even though I had a binge on Saturday and Sunday last week. My body fat is dropping too, because my abs are finally starting to show. The veins in my arms are popping again too. Couldn't be happier about this!

10 minute warmup on treadmill.

8 sets - 20 seconds on/10 seconds off each exercise

2 minute rest between each exercise.

BACK
Austrailian Pullups:
BW - 3 sets/10-5 reps (up one set)
Standing Rows:
10# vest - 5 sets/9 reps
***Can't do the Australian Pullups for the entire 8 sets. Those are just freakin' hard.

Underhand Barbell Row:
45# - 8 sets/13-8 reps
***Wow, these catch up with you fast. I was struggling by set 5.

Dumbbell Pullover:
25# - 8 sets/10-9 reps
***Got a great burn with these. Love pullovers.

T-Back Squeeze:
Purple band: 8 sets/15-14 reps
***No matter how many times you do this exercise, they burn every time.

HR STATS:
40 minutes total
4 minutes below zone
29 minutes in zone
7 minutes above zone
304 calories burned

That is all....

Shana - LOL on the front squats. I like them, but they are so hard on my upper body. I cannot get form right to save my life.

Linda - EXCELLENT on the 2# loss! I am so happy for you! This style of training is very effective. I really love it and I'll be sad when it's over.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Morning! Getting ready to go to the gym. Today will be chest/back and HIIT on the TM.

Patti...Smart girl! More important to take that rest instead of risking that injury.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday. I will be taking full advantage of the gorgeous weather here by laying out by the pool and reading the new Oxyegen mag!

Hi There,

I'm so sorry, but no time for personals today. It will be later tonight when all is usually in bed when I can sit down and type messages. Just a lot to get done today.

Stats on workout: STS Disc 19 - Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. Oh boy! I'm feeling the muscle burn after the exercise big time. I bet I'll have DOMS later on. I also have to put the last row of asparagus in.

Have a great day everyone, and I hope all is fine. I'll catch up tonight.

Janie

Eats today were off but not really bad. I had a baked apple at noon with cinnamon, small amount of brown sugar and dried cranberries. We went out to dinner so bread plain, salad with non fat dressing, salmon, asparagus and rice. Water and diet coke. That's it.
