Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Week of 9/17

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Hi all, sorry I haven't checked in.

I have been miserable. I have been out of commission since last Wednesday. I took both Thursday and Friday off work and did nothing but sleep and read. I am finally feeling human again. Even though the antibiotics started making a difference almost immediately, I fought a cough for several days. Finally yesterday I didn't hardly cough at all. I still have a lot of crap going down my throat and still a bit dizzy, but overall, I am much better.

I am going to work today but didn't workout. I still don't have the energy to get up that early and run or do yoga. I'm hoping tomorrow I can start back.

I hate sinus infections. They suck.

Hope you are all doing great, I haven't had time to catch up on what you all have been doing.

Oh Debbie, so sorry, sinus infections do suck!!

Today was Crossfire Extreme for me and a yucky rainy day here, but going to stay cool all week so that is good, give the ac a real break.

I swear I put a post here yesterday. Hmm! Well, yesterday I did Beast Bulk Block 3 week 4 chest30 min, 130 calories. I followed this with CHalean Extreme Intervals 42 min, 350 calories,max hr 164. I finished with Chalean Extreme I Got Abs 16 min, 92 calories. Total time was 87 min, calories burned 572.
Today I did Beast Bulk Legs week 4. I increased on most of the weights. I swear those front to back lunges are killer. I did increase though. On progressive squats I went up to 40's for the 8 reps from 35's. On forced reps I increased to 30#( I need to do more because it was too easy). On split squat I increased all weights by five ending with 76#. Stiff leg deadlift is hard done with the alt side. I keep the side at 12's, I ended with 40's on the dead. I can go heavier on deadlifts with a bar but this hits me differently. Calf raises at 50 reps is tough too. I use 25# but my legs are shaking by the time I am done. I really want to build my calves some. I finished with P90X2 Yoga.
I have someone coming in the morning to install a new kitchen faucet that we bought. I will have to be up very early for that because they generally call at 8 am and are here within 10 min.. Tomorrow is arms. I was hoping to fit a cardio in. I wanted to do Tabata Trek cycle workout but I may not have time. Also depends on how sore my legs are.

Finally got a workout in today. I didn't have a great workout, congestion going down my throat and coughing a bit, but I did something. I chose Cardio Coach #3 and just babied myself with it. I did get a good sweat, but didn't get my heart racing like I normally do. Blood pressure feels a bit high and I'm sure that's due to the drugs I'm on right now.

CARDIO STATS:
40 minutes total
7 minutes below zone

Debbie, glad to hear you were able to do something. I always feel like the cardio helps loosen up some of the drainage. My grandson was home yesterday with a sinus infection. They gave him the antibiotics and tested for flu as well.

Leg day, I did a plyo workout and some turbo barre.

So I think I started working out too soon. By the time I got to work I started getting the chills and just did not feel well all day. The secretary told me to go home but I hate missing work. Plus I'm not contageous so I just stayed. I really wish these antibiotics would work a bit faster. I only have two more days left and if I'm not better, I plan to get a hold of the doctor and see if he can prescribe something more for me. I'm sick of feeling this way. My head was really hurting again this morning and I feel so drained. I should stay home but I have so much to get ready for at work.

This morning was Beast Cardio, 30 min, 266 calories, max hr 162. I followed with Beast abs, 11 min, 71 calories. I downloaded a free program on my ipad called Fitness class. They have some free classes I tried two that were BOSU short segments from other workouts. They do have full workouts and you pay 9.99 a month for all you want(I even saw crossfire there) or you pay 99.00 a year pass. Anyway I did 19 min of bosu and burned an additional 118 calories. Total time was 59 min, calories burned was 455. I am headed to lunch and shopping with a friend.

Debbie, the antibiotic should have started working after the first couple of days. You need them to give you something else. Get well!

Diane Sue - I did call my doctor yesterday and told them I wasn't any better yesterday than I was on Monday. He called in another antibiotic for me that I started last night. It seems to be working a bit better. Still coughing and congestion, but feeling a bit less tired. I hope this will be gone by Monday, I want to start working out again.

Gosh Debbie sorry to hear you are still trying to get better!! Those things can hang on.

This morning I did Crossfire Extreme, legs later.

College tour tomorrow at Mizzou in Columbia, MO. Hard to believe I am taking my baby boy to colleges, this one closer than last week, last week 3 hours away, this one 1 1/2 hours!!

Happy Friday!!

This morning I did Body Beast Back 29 min, 165 calories. I followed with Mindy Mylrea's Tabata Trek. Time goes by pretty quickly on this workout because Mindy has you do a 4 minute 20/10 tabata section on the spin bike and then a 4 min 20/10 on the floor alternating and changing the moves up each 4 min round. This was 53 min, 452 calories, max hr 163. I finished with Chalean Extreme Recharge for a nice stretch.

Debbie, I am glad that you got some new antibiotic. Hopefully that will kick in quickly for you.

Today I did Beast Bulk shoulders week 4(1 more), 35 minutes, 160 calories. I lowered weights for the most of it this time because I have low back issues on the right side all of t he way to the neck on that side and had to have lifted something incorrectly). I followed with les Mills Pump Step, 31 min, 281 calories, max HR166. This is a great workout for getting it in and burning the calories. I then did Chalean Extreme Core Circuit using my 2# gloves and finished with Shiva Rea Power Yoga Flow mandala namaskar segment 11 min, 41 calories. Total calories was 523 and time was 87 minutes.
