Hardcore Fitness Maniac Hotties for 12/27

Wow! What an excellent way to end this December rotation. It was cardio today, and I sure did need a good cardio workout with all the crap I've been eating.

Gene got me a new heart rate monitor. Its made by Sportline. Man is this thing COOL!!! I love it. Shows a lot of things my other HRM never showed. I'm just not sure I have my zones keyed in right. My calorie burn today was the highest I've ever had, so I'm not sure how accurate today's workout was.

Today I chose Cardio Coach #8. Did excellent with it and had so much energy. I felt awesome!!!

Cardio stats:
60 minutes
20 minutes in zone (I don't think this is right)
37 minutes above zone
11 minutes below zone
551 calories burned!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!
3.5 miles travelled


I love how it breaks down your zones. It really is a cool HRM. I sure hope it works good for me. It didn't lose my HR once this morning.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
 
Well, my plan worked great. Yesterday, like I said I had no mental or physical energy for resistance training so I just did cardio. I got a great night sleep last night and felt totally up to tackling the final TT workout of this phase.

And here's how it went:

Superset A
Step Ups
8/8/8 - 30's
Grasshopper Pushups
8/8/8 per side

Superset B
Renegade Rows
8/8/8 - 30's
SB Leg Curls
20/20/20
SB X-Body Mountain Climbers
9/8/8 per side

Superset C
Hanging Knee Raises
8/8/8
SB Rotational Jackknife
8/8/8 per side
SB Plank
30 sec. hold x 3

Then interval cardio at 30/90 ratio for 6 rounds using power ups from Amy's ASC 1.

Might take the kids roller skating later.:D
 
Hey Maniacs! Today I did Cardio Coach Press Play for the first time :eek::p. I really liked this one. I alternated between the bike and the treadmill, starting with the the bike. I love that first 15 min. challenge.:cool:

Stats: 1 hr 4 min.
Cals. 375
AHR 136
In Zone 49.30
Above Zone 16
Below Zone 13.58

Debbie- My Nike HRM shows the different zones. Didn't yours? Maybe you need to set it so they show or something. Anyways, I'm glad you like your new HRM. OMG on the calorie burn!

Linda- Way to go on killing the last TT of the phase! What's next? Kettlebells?

Have a great Saturday...I'm heading out to lunch...salad for sure!!
 
Today's workout was 1.25 miles on the treadmill walking, then Amy Bento's Slow Mo Premix total body #2. I finished off with Cathe's 4 day split Low Intensity Step premix cardio. I Foam rolled a little too. I burned 853 calories 50% fat.

Debbie, that sounds more like it for CC #8. My HR monitor has me take my resting hr. I do my own zone daily before I start. I also have the option of choosing what my goals are as far as target hr zone. I don't have mine set to the default settings. If I did it would probably not be right for my age etc.. No matter what most of my workouts come close to whatever my first calorie and HR was when I did them.

Dallys, Press Play is a great workout. I have't had that one real long.

Linda great job finishing the tt rotation.

Nice workout's everyone! I bought DH Cardio Coach #2,3,4. Have to figure out how to use my HRM so I can "borrow" CC. DH is super sweet and knows how important my workouts are so he bought me top of the line HRM...I just wanted the Nike one you all mentioned. He spent way too much $$, but he said I deserved it and he wanted me to have the best...its a SUUNTO???? Our friend owns Fleet Feet (running store) and said it is a good one....we shall see!
