Today I did Rapid Fire Kick Box and Core Burn, 89 minutes, 638 calories. I really do like these workouts. They pack in a lot if you do the whole workout. Shadow boxing, kickboxing, heavy bag, standing and floor core. I used 1# gloves for the shadow boxing and 5 and 8# med balls for the core work. I prefer the 5# soft ball when I am holding the ball between my knees. My 8 # med ball has no give at all and puts too much pressure on the knee that I had surgery on when I am trying to squeeze it to hole on to it.
Debbie, nice work today. That is nice that you enjoyed your rest week. I feel very sorry for your kitty. It is too bad they can't let you know what is going on. It will be interesting if you hear back on your letter. I am sure he is happy to be back in his loving home with someone that cares about his comfort. I have never liked having to leave my pets overnight with the vet, let alone for that many days. My favorite bet in the last city we lived in was so good though. He was so comfortable with the animals and they seemed to know. He was the only one that could just sit down in the lobby and trim my dog Mudd (who is now gone) claws. Others would muzzle her and have to hold her down. Once I had to leave her overnight for something and she came back smelling all clean and wonderful. For the life of me I cannot remember what they had to do. They had a neighborhood dog that would just come to visit the clinic. They would take it into the back room and call the owner, which was an elderly lady to let her know they had her dog. I watched them pet it and I watched them walk the dogs and give them attention. You just don't find that often.
I am going to try Total Body Giant Sets in it's entirety tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well. I just back off if I feel discomfort in the chest area, but each week I notice a difference and that I can do a bit more without discomfort.
Jolie, it is good to hear that you are feeling so much better. I have been drinking lemon juice, vinegar and honey with some warm water a lot lately. It helped when I was sick and helps some with all of the coughing from my allergies. I also add cayenne pepper, ginger, and turmeric to my greens drink every morning. You really did get a lot of rain. I know they kept talking about growing almond trees and how much water they took with your drought. That is good that you got the rain. Sad about the mudslides. I have seen that before in California. We had a huge downpour last night. It is back up in the 70's today. I had to put buckets in my sunroom because the wind and rain was blowing so hard that it was coming in around some of the glass panels.
I am going to have to clean the carpet because it went around some of it and got the carpet. That room used to be an enclave patio and they had glassed it in. I hate the glass ceiling. Besides the occasional leak it is super hot in summer and very cold during the winter. There is a ceiling fan but no air or heat in that room. I started out with my Tread Climber in there and soon had it moved to the bedroom. We need to figure out something to do with it. My son and grandson tried caulking it once. That helped for a little while. It is in an impossible place to do much with. It is lower than the roof top and you cannot climb on the glass. Someone was not thinking well when they did it.
I think that kickboxing workouts really do help to lean out a lot. I can already tell a difference after just a week of hitting the Rapid Fire Workouts.
