Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for June 2016

Debbie, I have a Chevy Spark with only 6000 miles on it and I have already had recalls on it. One was for the warning systems. I went to vote a few months ago and locked my keys in the car with it running. No warning that my keys were in there with the door open and it running. They recently sent out another recall card but when I called them they said no nothing needs done on it. I hope not.

Roselyn, nice job on the weights.

Jolie, you have come up with some good combos. It sounds like the gym membership is working well for you.

Its hot here again, I'm getting tired of it. Diane Sue and Debbie, great workouts! Debbie, you are a BEAST! Diane Sue, I completely agree with you when it comes to those pushups in STS Meso 1!!! I cant do more than 12 in a row anymore, probably because I don't work on them too much.

Have a fantastic day!
 
Jolie, I find all of these workouts that throw in shoulder work tend to keep the shoulders and arms so fatigued hitting push ups gets harder. Nice workout. I love doing crossbow extensions.

Today I did Cardio Coach 3. I wanted to do a bit of a longer CC workout but my legs are still really sore. My whole body is sore today. I am really feeling these BB workouts this week. :)

Workout was 40 minutes, ran 2.77 miles, burned 287 calories (TM sai 370) and went 5544 steps.

I also did the ab work from the Oxygen mag that I love so well:

3 giant sets of:
Hanging knee raise
Bench V-Ups
Bench Reverse Crunch
15/12/10 reps with 1 minute rest between each giant set.

Diane Sue - Nice workout! I don't like some of those Meso workouts with all the pushup an pull ups either She gets a bit carried away with that.

Jolie - Nice workout as well. Great job on the weights!! Impressive! I hate concentration curls! I used to love incline curls but those really hurt my elbow. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with those.

Roselyn - Never heard of Toby. Did you like the workout?
 
I have two of my grandchildren here so just did a shorter cardio. I did Ice Low Impact Sweat 1 & 2 , 46 minutes, 330 calories.

Deb, I don't mind incline curls. Which one's hurt your elbows? Hammer or straight curls? I generally lighten a bit. They seem to hit the forearms a bit more.

Roselyn, I have heard of Toby Massenburg but am not familiar with the workouts.
 
No workout for me today. I took my rest day now because I have the next 4 days off from driving my kids to football so I have time to get some good workouts in over the holiday weekend.

Roselyn, Toby's workouts are tough!!! Good for you on that one.

Debbie, Nice workout. Don't you just love when your sore, it really makes me feel like a I worked hard and my body is responding to it. Regarding concentration curls, I can only go as high as 20# or my elbows hurts too. I put a memory foam pillow on my leg where my arm is and it really takes the pressure off my elbow.

Diane Sue, nice workout even though you didn't have much time. Enjoy your grandchildren.

I will check in tomorrow with a workout on the books!
 
Today I did Body Beast - Build: Shoulders. Had a great workout, I stayed with the same weights as last time on all but the last shoulder exercise. Went up on those and it about killed me! :)

Diane Sue - Straight incline curls hurt my elbows. I think when I used to do them way back I lifted too heavy and hyper-extended them. Now every time I do them my elbow is sore forever so I just don't do them anymore. And these aren't the inclines that Cathe does while laying on the ball with her back on ball - those I can do - it's the kind you do when you are laying with your stomach over the ball or in my case, my incline attachment for my bench, that hurts. Used to love that exercise but just can't do them anymore.

Jolie - I just never cared for concentration curls. Other than them hurting my elbow, I never feel like I'm working the biceps that much with that exercise. Could be my form?
