Hardcore Fitness Maniac Hotties for 3/11

[orphylea]

Hi ladies! I didn't check in yesterday- been busy around here and WORN OUT from the time change. I did STS #2 yesterday- back and triceps. I thought my 1RMs for this were pretty accurate. I also did KP&C this morning, plus the ab work. I do like this workout but as I said the other day, I'm good on it for a while. I don't think I'll be up for it for at least another month or more.

I've been thinking about where I want to go with my diet lately. I'm struggling to find a place that is sustainable and gets me results- hmm, maybe those goals are mutually exclusive. Ha! Now I'll go catch up and read yesterday.

Today was Back, Biceps and Abs and I had an excellent workout. Changed the exercises and really felt each one of them.

10 minutes on treadmill for warmup. (I like doing this)

45 second rest between each exercise

BACK
Double Arm Rows:
15's - 15/15 (warmup)

Australian Pullups:
12/8/7
***Never did this before. Gene got me the Perfect Pullup for Christmas and this is one of the exercises you can do with it. Very cool. Felt it in my back and biceps.

T-Bar Rows:
45# - 3 sets/12 reps
***Could have gone heavier. Concentrated on holding the contraction.

Dumbbell Pullovers:
30# - 3 sets/12 reps
***Definitely could have gone heavier.

BICEPS
Barbell Curls:
45# - 3 sets/12 reps
***These felt good but should have gone a tad heavier.

Alternate Hammer Curls w/Twist:
15's - 3 sets/12 reps
***Too light. Concentrated on each part of the movement. Got a nice burn.

ABS
Triset:
Twisting Bench Crunch
Wood Chops w/15# DB
Toes Up Hip Raises
***Did 3 sets/15 reps with 1 minute rest between each triset. The last exercise is a killer. By the 3rd set I was burning big time.

That is all....

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Man, my muscles were twitching in my right quad so much last night..like some being was in there trying to escape! LMAO! I had a hard time sleeping with all the twitching and bubbling feeling and then the wind was bad too. Very amusing to say the least. hehe. Maybe I stayed on too long??? lol.

Today I am gonna work chest/back/abs and finish cleaning. I bought some miniature white rose bushes and trying to figure out where to put them.

Debbie,

Nice workout! Busting some moves there!

Patti,

Sounds like you had a good workout.

My workout is done. Today was STS Mesocycle 2 Disc 17 legs. I upped some of the weights today. Some of the exercises I noted last week to increase the weight. I then did Low Max Blasts premix, and 4Day Split Low Intensity Step Cardio and stretch. I finished off with Tracey's Yoga Solutions Post lower body weights premix. Calories burned during STS was 368, calories for cardio was 409. Total calories burned with the yoga was 844. I will come back and post my weights in awhile. Need to clean up while the grandbaby is napping.

Good Morning,

No workout this morning. I could not sleep last night, after watching the news, cried myself to sleep. The guy who killed his family including his mother, come on now. What could possible make a person do such a thing? All this bad news day after day has taken a toll on me, really. This morning I woke feeling like blah…blah…could not get it together. So much tragedy going on, it ridiculous WTF………….I'll get it together, tomorrow, will press play.

Nice Job Everyone! You guys are awesome

I woke up feeling very blessed today. Last night took the kids roller skating and got tripped. Landed really hard on my left knee and hand. In fact, when I first got up after the fall my left knee could not bear any weight at all. I thought I was domed. This morning though left hand is just badly bruised and knee will let me walk and do stairs. It will not allow me to bend to it 80 degrees or beyond and it wants absolutely no part in being responsible for lifting or lowering me into a seated position or to the floor (found that out lower myself into pullover position on the bench).

So anyway, today was suppose to be legs and shoulders, but was cancelled (the leg portion may have to be cancelled for the week) and instead I did Friday's Back & Biceps. Still did the cardioacceleration but the cardio 1 minute runs were not done as intensely.

Back
Dumbbell Row
10/10/10 -40's
Bent-Over SA DB Lat Pull
12/12 - 20's
15 - 15's
Dumbbell Pullover
15/15/15 - 40#

Biceps
Standing Dumbbell Curl
10/10/10 - 25's
Incline Dumbbell Curl
12/12 - 20's
15 - 15's (with a few extra on the left)

I started the cardio with HIS warmup through the first interval, then ended with the stretch from HIS modifing and stretch that required my leg to be bent. Workout was 45 minutes and calories burnd 436.

Teddy - And that exactly why I do not watch teh news or read the paper. I figure anything that I really need to know DH will tell me.

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Teddygirl - You need to stop watching the news. I also seen that story and felt aweful about it. I don't watch the news much anymore, it's too depressing. So think about just skipping it if you can. Hope you feel better. {{{hugs}}}

Linda - I read about your fall yesterday and I'm glad to hear you are ok. Watch that knee, that is scary!! Nice workout. Aren't you still doing that weight/cardio stuff? Or did you change rotations?

[sunnyside]

Hey Maniacs! Well, so far with this time change, I have done nada in the mornings! I just can't get with it. I might just bag the week and start fresh on Monday Mornings again. Maybe I'll be adjusted by then. I will try and get a workout in later today IF nothing messes me up. Dh wants to go on a bike ride, so I'll probably go with him.

Teddy- WTF? Haven't heard that story yet. How aweful!

Patti- I too, am trying to find a balance with my eating. 5-6 meals a day, 3 meals a day, intermittent fasting, vegetarian, high protein, carb timing...blah, blah, blah... It's enough to drive someone mad!!!!!!! I'm totally screwed up now and am trying desperatly to find my "normal".

Great workouts everyone else!

Gotta run...work haunting me....

Debbie - Yup, still doing the weight/cardio stuff. That was the great thing about the knee this morning, that as long as I don't bend it too much it is pretty good. Some tightness/stiffness but no pain, so I was still able to do the cardio runs in between the sets,

Wow, Linda, thank goodness it seems like you're going to be fine! Good to take it easy this week so you don't have any long term problems. I saw that rotation in M&F Hers last night and thought of you. Let me know what you think about it in terms of results- maybe I'll keep it in mind for later this year.

Teddy: Quit watching the news! I'm like Linda, I don't really watch either. I guess I'm not very informed on the world but most of the time, that's really OK with me. I like my bubble. You'll get back in the game.

Diane Sue: You're cruising right through STS. I think DH and I are going to repeat week 1 at least. I told him I thought he could use the extra time to get used to working out again and it didn't bother me to repeat. It isn't like I have anything else I'm itching to do right now and it saves me the trouble of figuring out what I need to do for a while.

Dallys: I could have written your post! I feel like my head is swimming with it! Honestly, I was eating more last summer and more foods that I liked, even processed ones. I LOOK THE SAME as I do right now and I have been eating much cleaner for the past 6 months. Not perfect, but much much better. I know it's probably healthier but we're talking vanity here. Anyway, I am beginning to think that unless I go very very strict, things won't change too much more for me. I can't decide if I want to do that or just go back to being OK with where I am. Le sigh.
