Good Morning!
I rested the whole weekend (well, maybe not completely). Did a total of 6 chinups, 16 wide pushups, planks and Night Club 2 dance lessons. The dance lesson was great because there were enough partners for everyone so everyone had more time to dance.
Today I caught up on my missed workout in the rotation so I did:
PUB Abs - did these first. only rested after 12 pikes and then finished up.
Tracey's Strictly Upper Body from Parts Series -
Back rows from plank - 12#
One Arm rows - 15.6#
Concentration curls on ball - 15.6#
Alternating Upper Cuts - 12#
One Arm Chest Press on bench- 18.6#
Chest Flyes on Ball - 8#
Rotational pushups - 5#
Kickbacks - This is a tough exercise - on every odd count set, you hold for 3 counts and she goes for 8 sets. Then 1 set of overhead extensions (I used 18.8#) then she does another set of kickbacks with palms facing down, same counts as before.
Front arm raise - 5#; then raise and scoop arms in
Then the flutter - small pulses with arms bent for 16 counts
On the 2nd set, I had to drop to 3# and still felt it.
Then I did 4DS Legs Premix (31 mins.) - this included calf work but no stretch. I needed the extra stretch so I did kickbox stretch.
I liked that she only did 2 sets of each exercise (are there only 2 sets in regular workout?)
Warmup bbl squats - 17.8#
Front Squats - 33#
Deadlifts - 20.6# dbbls - feel these a lot more when using dbbls vs. bbl
Plie Squats - 29.2#
Side Leg Presses - 18.6#
Low Plane Lunges - 10#
Outer Thigh leg press - 10# and 5# ankle weights
Bbl squats - 33#
Deanie - A weekly check-in is fine with me. I saw your posts about daily calories. I also think 2,500+ is too high. I like to stay between 1700-2000 calories. I've just been writing down my calories and nutrients. I've started to use measuring cups again (definitely helps). I tend not to cheat as much because I don't want to write down anything bad. I'm also trying not to eat past 7-8:00. Congrats on your boys' earnings! Sorry they didn't have boots in your size.
Gin - Congrats on getting through MIC! Yes, I did see the STS Clips. I commented over the weekend but I'll say it again here. Like Deanie, I thought it reminded me a lot of P90X with all the pushups and the counter but a lot of the exercises looked the same as in other workouts with the exception of an incline front raise (in hammer curl position) on the ball. From what I remember of the blog, I liked the core workouts and am looking forward to the plyo leg workouts. I can't wait to see more clips.
Will try to BBL. Have a great day!
