Hardcore Fitness Maniac Hotties for 4/15

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Today was Triceps and I had a good workout. My biceps are a tad sore today so I'm happy about that. It takes a lot for me to get my biceps sore.

10 minutes on treadmill for warmup

8 sets - 20 seconds on/10 seconds off each exercise

2 minute rest between each exercise

TRICEPS
Close Grip Barbell Press:
50# - 11-8 reps (up 5#)
***LOVE this exercise. By the last two sets I was sweating bullets!

Lying Dumbbell Extensions:
15's - 10-8 reps
***These really catch up with me fast, by set 4 I was already down to 8 reps.

Standing Overhead Dumbbell Extensions:
25# - 12-9 reps
***These were tough. I had to stop early with a few sets. HR was spiking big time here.

Double Arm Kickbacks:
5's - 14-10 reps
***These burn like crazy.

Then I got on my treadmill and did a fast walk on 5% incline. Go 1 mile out of the deal.

HR STATS:
60 minutes total
3 minutes below zone
54 minutes in zone
2 minutes above zone
442 calories burned (Happy with this, I didn't think I burned that much today)

That is all....

Morning! I did STS disc 8 (Back and tri) for the second time- burned 386 calories. Then the call of cardio was too much to resist so I did LIC cardio premix and burned 404 calories. I ran out of time, so abs are on the agenda for tomorrow. It was a good workout.

Debbie: I love sore biceps! I'm not really getting them on STS right now- maybe Meso 2. But I am seeing greater definition in my biceps in the last few weeks so who knows? Anyway, cool workout.

OK so I said yesterday that I wasn't afraid of carbs and I'm not I swear. But I am selective on what I spend them on- usually I prefer something sweet if I'm going to eat carbs so I try to save on other items. For instance, I think buns are a waste of calories- bad for you and not that great tasting, IMO. So I made these this week and they weren't bad. Thought I would share.

Low Carb Buns
3 egg whites
2 yolks
1/8 tsp cream of tartar or 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 ounces no fat cream cheese

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Separate the eggs and add cream of tartar (or baking powder) to the whites and beat with mixer until stiff. Add cream cheese to the yolks in another bowl. Use a mixer to mix the yolks and cream cheese. Use a spatula and fold the egg yolk mix into the whites. Take it slow so you don't break down the whites.

Spoon the mix onto a sheet, should make 6 halves or 3 whole buns (a top and bottom). Bake for about 25 minutes. Take them out, let them cool down and enjoy!

Total macros all 6 buns
250 cal / 11 carbs / 9 fat / 28 protein

Each bun (2 halves):
83 cal / 4 carbs / 3 fat / 9 protein

People add strawberry jello mix or pudding mix and make it sweet too

Patti: Those sound interesting. Weird you could make buns out of those ingredients - who would have thought?! I will try them. Add me to the list of not afraid of carbs. With this 8 week thing, I am being careful though with how I choose them. I figure as long as they are healthy, then I'm not going to worry about it as long as my percentages make sense. A lot of mine come from fruits/veggies, sideline carbs from other foods like almonds, etc, and then I like brown rice, oat bran, whole wheats, etc. When I make muffins, I use the whole wheat flour which has a lot of protein too and use a boatload of blueberries and applesauce in place of oil so I feel ok eating one if the mood strikes

Yesterday, I ended up with 1878 calories and every last one of you would laugh if you saw what I eat to make those calories! There is definitely variety - it was a workout in itself to just enter it all It was still a little under with my workout but I just couldn't eat anymore and heaven knows, that is more than I would have ever eaten otherwise. I can tell my metabolism is changing b/c I am hungrier even though I am eating more. I'm quite anxious to see what happens.

Today is STS legs for me. I cannot WAIT for recovery week. My body will be needing that. My chest, shoulders and tris are sore from Monday so I am loving that. Going to get abs in today as I only did a tiny set yesterday - I was beat and I want to do the Oxygen abs again.

One of my friends wants me to train for a mini triathalon with her. Hmmmmm...

I am still really tired Allergies have been keeping me up. I had planned on going to bed earlier but we had someone want to look at our house. I had just came in from the store and picking up the children. Hadn't even put the groceries away. I had to pretty much clean the whole house before 7:30. Hadn't got it caught up after our Easter family dinner with the 11 children:0

Today's workout was STS disc 39 Legs. It was 6 rep sets this time. I managed to raise my weight again. Calories burned was 321.
I then did 4Day Split Kickbox cardio only premix burning 242 calories. When I returned from taking the children to school I did Tracey Staehle's Strike Zone stopping at Strike 8 and moving to Strike 12 which was the cooldown/stretch and burned 321 calories. I added the foam roller segment of Tracey's Circuit Zone. Total calories burned today was 913.
STS legs w/up using the Bowflex squats 1 set 10 reps 180#, 1 set 10 reps 200#
Bowflex Squats 4 sets 6 reps 280# resistance (up 10# from last week)
Barbell Stiff leg dead lift 4 sets 6 reps 110# (up 5# from last week)
Bowflex front squats 4 sets 6 reps 160# resistance
Static lunge 4 sets 6 reps 1 set 80# , 3 sets 92# total weight(switched from the bar to dumbbells and the weighted vest) up 2# from last week

Last week I did 90# using a 70# bar and 20# vest. Not sure why I was having a problem with it this week.

Hey Maniacs! So the photo shoot went well. It was alot of fun! Got some great pics which I will post in the next week. I am on a recovery week but getting anxious to start my training again. However tweaked my back so will need to be careful. I had planned on being a bit more laxed w/my diet this week since I had been so strict the last two months. Uh, that lasted a day and 1/2! Between scarving down Saturday after the shoot and Easter I am so disgusted with myself! Back on my training diet!

Patti...glad you are not afraid of carbs because for me (except oatmeal, brown rice, yams, green veggies, fruit) carbs are evil!

Diane Sue...sorry about the allergies. My DS has them and this time of the year is awful for him.

Dallys...loved your pics!

 

[janiejoey]

Good mornin all, will do STS legs today after I digest my breakfast. Then will report the stats.

Diane Sue, Where are you moving to? Still in Las Vegas I hope? Joey and I will be visiting there in the Fall and was hoping we could meet you this time around while visiting our son. Sorry about those allergies, that sucks. Your workouts are very impressive to me. Have you ever thought about competing? Seriously! Think about it.

Shana, 1878 calories. Wow! I would gain weight if I had that many calories. Today are STS legs for me as well. Will post it separately from personals. I'd say if you were up to a mini Triathlon, go for it. All the more power to you.

Patti, Good job on your workout! I'm afraid to do cardio and weight training on the same day for fear that I will lose some muscle I worked so hard to get. Have I been misinformed about that? Thank you for the bun recipe, sounds like a winner.

Debbie, Your workout was awesome! You also should compete. Jeesh Girl! I'm proud of ya.

Sonya Arellano, So glad to hear the photo shoot went well. It will be great to be able to see them next week. Enjoy your recovery week. What does your training diet consist of?

Janie, you are so sweet! I'm so glad you are checking in with us again. Have fun working those legs!

 

[janiejoey]

Janie, you are so sweet! I'm so glad you are checking in with us again. Have fun working those legs!

It's really great being here, thank you.

Debbie, I'm not an expert in computing, and I must say it's kinda hard for me. The computer savvy, (about quoting) is great information and I can do one quote, but, how do you do two or more quotes at the same time? (???) I'm baffled.

Today was Cardio and Abs. I did IMAX 3 stopping after the first Blast to do two Tabata rounds of Abs, then finished IMAX3 through the stretch. Workout was 1:12 but not sure about the calorie burn. At the 30 minute mark I realized that my HRM had not found my heart rate, fixed it and from there I burned 355 calories. Not sure how much credit to give myself for the first 30 minutes.

8 sets - 20 seconds on/10 seconds off each exercise

No rest between each exercise

ABS
X-Body Mountain Climbers
8 sets/18-14 reps

AB Wheel Roll Outs
8 sets - 7-6 reps

Thinking I might feel this tomorrow.


Debbie - Congrats on the sore Biceps. That sure is one hard thing to acheive.

Patti - Interesting recipe. Thanks for all of them that you share!

You do the same as I described in that post for Linda but you keep copying and pasting. So like if I want to add to this one, I'll finish typing my coments to you, I'll highlight it all and press CTRL C, then I'll go up to my "back" button to get me to where I was before, then go find the next message you want to comment on, click on QUOTE, go up to the very top of the text box, press CTRL V to paste what you copied in last quote you were in, then scroll down to the bottom and type your comments to the one you are responding too. You can do this over and over. When you are done, just click on Submit. You can also click on Preview to make sure it looks right before you submit it.

It's pretty much just a matter of copying and pasting, you just have to remember where you were last. LOL!

Linda, I like how you broke this down. That is really cool. Nice workout. I really hate when my HRM does that. When I do any of these workouts and I'm lying down my HRM loses my HR for some stupid reason. It really pisses me off.

 

[Sonya Arellano]

What does your training diet consist of

Janie...

Proteins: egg whites, chicken, tuna, turkey, fish
Carbs: brown rice, yams, oatmeal...limited fruit
Veggies: green veggies
Fats: almonds, flameout, olive oil

I carb cycle so fruits intake will be according to that.
I also drink protein shakes and a recovery drink after workouts.
I have one cheat meal a week.

When I started this it was ok the first two weeks then it was tough as I wanted real food! But after 8 weeks I got used to it. It has made a HUGE difference. Not too worried about my little splurge over the weekend...all it did was spike my metobolism! I just don't like the bloating I get from carbs!

 

[toastythemosty67]

Hello Maniacs!!!

I am gonna get into my workout later and will report tomorrow. I had to take a rest day yesterday cuz my neck felt stiff again and didn't want to do any weight workouts to make it worse. I use caution now. lol.

Linda,

Helluva workout! Great job!

Sonya,

You are really rolling. You got some motivation going. Cannot wait to see your newest pictures!

Diane Sue,

You always manage to get everything done nonetheless! Your workouts are always smokin'. You don't need me to tell you that though cuz I know you gotta be feelin' it! lol.


Shana,

I am cracking up reading that!!! lol. I know it does seem like you have to eat alot to get in the calories. haha. Your doing really good though. Keep it up. You have to feel good about striving towards your goal, and with your determination, you will get there!!!

Patti,

I am not surprised you are seeing definition with the calories you are burning! That is just fantastic to hear!

Debbie,

Happy to hear you got some soreness in biceps!!! Way to cook it!

Thanks! I didn't want to do abs at the end nor at the beginning so I figure I'd put them some where in the middle. Don't know if my HRM never had my HR or lost it, first time this has happened. Think it's cool that you separated Bi's & Tri's, have to admit I like the break midweek.

LOL on the abs. They are the worst to train, aren't they? I have been putting off doing abs so far all week. I need to get them done, probably tomorrow after I work my shoulders.

I like that I split up bi's and tri's too, I do not look forward to doing an entire hour of cardio for some odd reason. But doing 1/2 hr. every day is good. And it's funny because I usually hate doing cardio and weights on the same day. This is totally out there for me.

Diane Sue, I thank you for reporting your daily intake. It helps me figure what I need to do with my diet too. You seem to eat 100-200 calories more than me. Seems to me you are not eating enough from all the workouts you do. But, you know what works for you.

Toastythemosty, Looking forward to your stats.
