Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Sat Nov 24

Morning Maniacs -

Today is supposed to be my rest day, but I'm going to do some cardio. Was going to do Turbo Jam, but I just got a new step DVD that looks lower impact, so I'll try that and make it an active recovery day. Don't know if that's a good idea with the food intake lately.....but I'll see how I feel when I'm working out. Want to try to fit some yoga in also. Be back later.
 
I ended up doing Petra Kolber's Step Moves - New Grooves. Workout was 60" and I burned 540 calories. This was a lower impact step workout that I really had to put a lot of effort into to get my HR up. It stayed pretty much 75% of max ...steady state. The coreography was taught very well and taught very much like Rebecca Small's ....layers and well cued. I followed pretty well but got tripped up a few times, but it took a LOT of concentration. IT was fun though and now I've found another instructor I like. If her and Rebecca didn't go to the same school -- then one of them learned their step style from the other one. The only thing Petra does differently than Rebecca is that she doesn't count and I found myself counting the more difficult step combos. This will be a good workout for easy days. Petra even does the Elvis move that is a singature of Rebecca's......and I love Rebecca's Elvis'. I think Petra is more serious than Rebecca and Rebecca has a more fun personality though.

I also did Gentle Flow Yoga with STephanie Keach. ONly my second time doing this one and I don't know where my head was at last time I did this...but I enjoyed it thoroughly today. She holds poses for a long time and it does a lot of spinal twists, hip opening, etc. and is very relaxing............and I'm really becoming a yoga slouch....haven't done a difficult practice since before my stress fracture!

Have great workouts everyone. Usually Saturday movie and such for us today. I need to try to make some money selling my oils too....as the recent flurry of BPAL updates mutilated my stash of money and Paypal accounts.
 
Good Morning, I got up earlier this morning. Can't get into the habit of sleeping late. I started my workout with Tracey's Step Mix2 circuit premix 52 min.. I think I am going to do Strictly upper body and glute camp in a few minutes. BBL

Today was cardio and I had a great workout. Chose Press Play and other then having trouble with my breathing for some odd reason, I did good with this workout. I'm done now until Monday and then my new rotation begins. Looking forward to it.

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

I am behind in workouts. Overloaded with too much of a good thing..FOOD!!!!!! Gained 5 pounds. Gee whiz. Spent all friggin day and evening at car places. Dh got new car. Gas too high..got good economy one.

I am on day 2 of total body rotation. Doubt it if I will report back stats today. Dh wants to go to movie to see American Gangster. When everyone is home I usually have less time to get on computer and such so ya'll have a great day!

Lora,

I got to check it all out. I know I want Black Lace.
 
I finished my workout. I did Tracey's Glute camp skipping the w/up and then I did her Strictly Upper body no w/up. I finished with Eion Finn's PYFH Bliss and did Kelly Roberts Flexibility w/o with the foam roller. I felt I needed lots of stretching. For some reason doing Tracey's workouts this week I am feeling some low back pain.

Charlotte, enjoy your movie.

Suz, have fun shopping for new work clothes for your sister.
