Morning Manias -

My rotation calls for an interval run and Kickmax Leg Drills. I'll probably do a Cardio Coach and maybe some yoga. I slept too long. I've really got to try getting up earlier or I'm never going to get my butt out of bed when I get a job. I NEVER hear my alarm! Be back later.
 
Good Morning
My butt legs are so sore from yesterdays workout! Today is gymstyle chest pushups and LIC upperbody 2x through.

Lora what rotation are you doin? Great workout by the way:)
Its hard to get up and workout early. I only get up this early if I have to work at 10am.
Have a great day!

Good morning, todays workout is Amy's Kick Box Extreme and M&F Legs and calves. I got up earlier so maybe I will accomplish something today:) I need to get up earlier all of the time. School will be out soon and I want to get done sooner so I have time to play with the grandchildren.

I ended up doing Cardio Coach #3 - no cooldown - then did Kickmax Leg Drills with stretch. Total workout was around 1 hour and I burned 350 calories at the end of the leg drills....250 at the end of CC. I also did Kristin McGee's Power Yoga. It was challenging after all of the leg work, but I liked it. My legs are fried from Imax 3 Tues, Squeeze on Wed and now leg drills today and tomorrow I'm supposed to do a leg workout.

Suz - re: being bummed about finding a job - I am very glad I'm home right now and able to help Mom out. I've also been here thru Pandora's sickness and getting the new kitty. I'm sure God planned it that way. Actually, I do need and want a job....although I'm not really looking forward to it after being off for so long. I'm getting spoiled being home. I'm trying to enjoy my last days not working, as my unemployment will be up in July .....so even if I don't have a secretarial/medical job, I'll need to get whatever job I can find at that time. Who knows where I'll end up!

Diane Sue - Thanks for the directions. I'm going to get a casserole dish from my Mom's when I go over there later today. I've cut back on my cardio last week and on a few days this week - do you think I can ramp it back up with the extra cardio for a couple weeks now? or do you think I should wait another week or so? Did you ever see what rotations you liked for me? or find the Cardio Coach one? I noticed you usually do about an hour of cardio every day -- so doesn't your body get used to that? I always thought you had to vary the times of your cardio so your body doesn't adjust.

Randi - I'm doing Cathe's January rotation for weight loss since I need to lose these few pounds....a couple from our recent vacation and then some!! I'm not really into the rotation, however, with every thing going on in my life right now, it's easier to follow a piece of paper. What rotation are you doing?

Gotta run.......must do my neck stretches and get ready to go grocery shopping. I also have to find out if my Mom has all of the Home Health Care items she needs for coming home on Friday. She needs all kinds of stuff. She's a bit down today. She doesn't think she's ever going to feel better. Poor Mom.

Have great workouts. I'll be around later.
 
Just finished my workout hurt my neck and a little down my back doing those push ups where you go down on your knees and straighten your legs coming up on LIC. It hurts so bad pissed off cause I couldnt do abs! I have a icy hot patch on it.
Off to work:(

Day off today. Workout with trainer yesterday was all legs. I am in agony. Especially upper hamstrings. 3 sets of lunges with light weight, 3 sets of squats still light weight, 3 sets of 50 calf raises with 15 lbs dumbbells, then used resistance pully thing and did three sets of 20 leg lifts outer thigh and inner. Did I say ouch??

And he said it will hurt worse on the 2nd day. Ugh.

But a good challenge none the less. Tomorrow a run if I can move otherwise cycling program on the stationary bike.

How's everyone doing today? Jobs? Work? American Idol feedback?

Welocme to the check in Teddy Girl:)

Lora, I had pulled out the cc rotation and a couple of Cathe's that I was going over but, had put them away when we had company the other day. I will get back to you with it. I have to go to the desk top computer to send the CC one. I change up my cardio once in awhile. It does stay around 1 hour most of the time. Once in awhile I will up the time too just for the shock the body benefit. When I did the M&F Hers rotation I lowered to around 40 minutes a day. Another method I have used that was beneficial was alternating weeks of concentrated heavy weight work and shorter intense cardios with the following week endurance and longer cardios.

Julie, it looks like your trainer put you through a tough workout:)

Debbie, I bet you will be ready for getting back into the workouts. After the two days I was feeling pretty energetic.

Quick check-in for me. Was only able to get one girlfriend to ride this morning before work. 20 miles. It was 25 degrees. Brrr... But our other groupie was bummed after we told her how nice it was. :) No wind! You know how much we live for those days here!!!

Gotta run.
