Good Morning Ladies!

Today I ran and then did B&G stab. ball abs. I forgot all about doing pushups. Maybe this aft. Ran out of time. Tomorrow I will plan to do Terminator and stretch, since I took Wed off.
This is my last day (bittersweet). I am going to Houston Mon-Thurs next week to visit family. Hope to workout there, but will probably not be able to post.

Deanie--Did you have a July rotation in mind? I would like to do more cardio to get ready for the RT, but if you don't choose that, I'll just add it in.

Marcy--Have you previewed Stike Zone yet? I've read good and not so good about it. I may take it to Houston, since no equipment is needed.

Meals:
B--3 eggs (1 whole, 2 whites),cheese, orange
L--nonfat plain yogurt, berries, veggies
S-??
D-?? probably a big salad

It is tough with this gluten-free diet I am trying. I need to go to the health food store and see what they have.

Have a great day!
Gin
S--

Good Morning Ladies!

I finally got a workout done! I did 4DS Triceps and Biceps, Shoulders & Kickbox abs and stretch. I think the kickbox abs are harder than the LIS abs.

Tris:
Seated Overhead Extensions: 15, 20, 25, 30
Biceps:
Standing Hammer Curl with Twist, 12 and 15#
Standing Traditional Curls: 15# and 20# (went up a pound)
Triceps: Lying Extensions: Used 17# in each hand instead of barbell
Lying Extensions Dbbls: Started with 15# and then went down to 10# for the partials
Bis: Crazy 8s: 17# each hand, 15# for partials
Reverse Curls: 15# (up 3#)
Incline Hammer Curls with a Twist on ball: 12#
Double Arm Seated Curl - only used 12# - should've used 15s like last time
Hanging Concentration Curls with one hand: 20# (these just never seem to feel right). I put a mirror in my workout room and I'm really trying to watch my form.
Wrist Curls: 10#

Shoulders:
Pyramid Up Seated Overhead Press: 8, 10, 12, 15
Seated Isolation Press - 15# - 1st set didn't do last 2 reps
2nd set - dropped down to 12#
Upright Rows - 18#
Standing Lateral Raise - 13#; dropped to 10# for last couple of reps
Bent Arm Lateral Raise - stayed at 10# but probably should've gone back up to 13#
Seated Rear Front Raise: 12#
Rear Isolation Flyes: 10#

Kickbox Abs: Much tougher than LIS abs but felt a little bit shorter.

I have another interview today at another agency at 1:00.

Gin - Good luck with your diet. Gluten-free is tough. I hope you find some good things at the health food store. I didn't get to preview Strike Zone yet but I plan on doing it this weekend. I hope you like it.

Deanie - Great workout! Your chins/pulls are impressive!

Have a great day!

Hi again!

Gin~ nice workout today- just fun Next month I want to do PS series, with only HIIT on the treadmill on cardio days. I may add in one day of kickbox instead of HIIT though. If you don't want to follow the cardio, do you have PS? In August I am either going to go back to this months rotation or if STS looks like a Sept go, then I will do a circuit/full body rotation. Right now though, looks like STS will be at the earliest released in late Sept. If that is the case, I will do PS in July, 4DS again in Aug.(but for 4 weeks) and circuit/full body in Sept.--> I'm not too anal am I???? In August we have some trips planned and this would be the easiest rotation for me to fit every thing in. I hope the gluten free thing works for you, looks tough till you get the hang of it! Enjoy your trip!!

Marcy~ Nice workout today}( I like KB abs better also, and they are shorter (by about 2 min) Good luck today with the interview!

Hi Again!

Well, I cracked a few times at school today when saying good-bye to everybody. I'll be back though in a few weeks to clean out my room, so not really gone for good yet.

Marcy--Good luck with the interview today! Let us know.

Deanie--Yes, I do have PS and haven't done it in a while. Sounds good. I will probably add more cardio...longer step workouts. I enjoy it and I have more time now. Do you see a difference yet with the "less cardio" rotation? I am not a good judge because I never see a difference!x( If you are too anal, then I am also!;-)
