STS Body Rockers, Valentine's Week (2/12 - 2/18)

[ricklyk1]

Hi ladies!

Getting us started for the week. No work (or workout) on Friday. I rested all day and it helped tremendously with this cold situation. I still didn't feel 100% yesterday, but I forced myself to do Athletic Step (no cool down) + TBT:LB Express. Today's workout was Disc 8 (back/triceps) + AC: weights and plates abs. I'm feeling my back muscles, woohoo!

Wendy: I'm a fan of blowing off yoga for more sleep. LOL!

Terina: Nice job with HiiT 40/20. So dang tough!

Wiggie: AB AND AT? Yowza!! Hope you had a great weekend with your granddaughter!

Bridget: Love the new avatar!! Did DD enjoy her birthday party?

Hello again!

This morning's workout was Afterburn + 5/8 of STS Extended Stretch. I originally planned to do abs, but decided at the last minute my body needed a stretch. Felt great!

BBL!

Good morning All!!

Sunday’s workout was HIIT 25 that morning & my daughter & I did pushups & squats that afternoon. Today I’m starting the STS/LIC rotation by Cathe.

Wendy, glad you a great weekend!! Mine was pretty good also!!

Bridget, cute avatar!! How did your DD handle the pizza?

Katie, glad you’re feeling better!! Great workouts, listening to your body is always a good thing!!

Have a great day All!!

Oy! I totally forgot there should/would be a new thread for the week and posted on the old one this morning! Thanks for confusing me Katie!

Well, at the risk of repeating myself (depending upon who read my post in the old thread)...

Y'day was TurboBarre Lower Body Premix and Ab Ripper X (oh boy do I have DOMS from ARX today!) & today was Athletic Training.


Katie:: 5/8's of extended stretch? Seriously!? LMAO! Nice work outs! I am feeling all of my back muscles too! Chest and Back using the tower for pull ups fried me! My lats are ON FIYAH for the 2nd day today!

Wiggie:: Oh yay! Another person joining in on the STS/LIS rotation! Do you plan to do it as is or will you be needing to modify it at all? It's kickin' my butt so far! You will love it!

[wiggie]

Good morning All!!

Monday's workout was Disc 16. I intended to ride my bike but it didn't happen.

Wendy, I will probably have to modify it here & there. For example, today is TBTLO, but I plan to do Turbo Barre. I'm trying to fit that one in at least twice a week.


Have a great day Everyone!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today's workout was HiiT: Pyramid + AC: No Equip. Abs. Even though Afterburn doesn't have a separate abs section it hit my abs hard yesterday and I could barely survive NEA this morning. Is it Friday yet?

Wiggie: YAY, so glad you're starting the STS/LIS rotation too!! Woot, Woot!!

Wendy: Oops sorry for the confusion. I don't usually start new threads, and now I remember why! LOL! Nice job with TB and Athletic Training. Is your lower body on fiyah to match your upper body?

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning.

Today was Low Impact Challenge. I did the challenge first thinking I was going to do it more then once since I don't know all of the step routines. Well, IDK what got into me but I ended up atleast ATTEMPTING all of them! I didn't do the part where you string them all together. I would have killed myself! But I DID attempt them all..even combo 4!!! I forgot that I am pretty capable of combo 3. One move trips me up but I can fake my way through it easy enough. Combo 4 OTOH..OH.MY.GAWD.!!! LOL I musta' been a sight tryin' to do that! So anyway my work out was about 40ish+ minutes having done ALMOST all of it.

Wiggie:: Good job with D16! Modify away! Me and Katie are too!

Katie:: LOL re starting new threads. It's okay. You can start one again. I am easy to confuse so not your fault! HiiT pyramid is tough! Great job! IDK which is harder-pryamid or 40/20. They both kick my butt! This whole series is all about the core so I'm not surprised you were feeling it while doing NEA! Only a few actual ab work outs yet she constantly hits your core SOME HOW! Brilliant! My lower body isn't as bad but it IS sore. My calves were all fired up last night but they seem to have eased a bit over night. Tmrw I will finally hit the 2nd X work out. I've been putting off out of fear after all of the DOMS I got from C&B! LOL Enough stalling though...time to BRING IT!

UGH. I was on the internet and came across this by accident and found myself making a total impulse purchase inside of 5 mins flat!

X-TrainFit At Home Total Body Conditioning | Womens Extreme Home Fitness DVD

I'm such a sucker!

I hope it's decent! It was cheap! That's what sold me!

Forgive me for starting a new thread when one was already there!

My post from Monday:

I did spin this morning- she extended the class to 60 minutes (usually 45) to increase the suffer-fest for those of us loyal enough to stay. I love morning exercise, it feels so good driving to work knowing that is done.

This weekend, no workouts happened, other than an intense party of 15 10year olds at the Y pool, followed by them attempting to destroy in indestructable workout room after filling up with pizza & cake- there were stability balls everywhere, punching bags being hit, mats & steps everywhere...they all slept well on Saturday night, I did too. DD had one of her friends stay until Sunday afternoon- Sunday had a bridal shower in the afternoon, and spent the evening seeing Shreck, the musical- which was awesome! See it if it comes to your town!

What a whirlwind of a weekend- glad to be back to the normal intensity of work.

Wendy- Athletic Training is a killer! Last time I did it my inner thighs tingled for several days!!

Have a great Monday everyone!

Ok, my Tuesday post...

TRX this morning, impressive amount of progress being made in the ab region! I have to option to take the course again in March- and I like it, but was thinking of starting an STS rotation- which I can do later. I like the progress I am making with TRX for now.

I changed the Avatar, couldn't figure out how to put a pic of myself in the RT group- will need to add wonderwoman back again, because I am she...

Wendy- Low Impact Challenge is fun! Last time I did it I broke up the step routines and added them to 4DS lower intensity's step section- to nullify the frustration factor from some of the moves.

Katie- those are some tough workouts you have done, very impressive!

Wiggie- modify away my friend!

So, how many threads did we end up putting up for the week? I apologise again.
