Hi everyone. Enjoying my day off so far. Didn't sleep in as I'd planned, but at least I didn't have to rush for anything. Did Cardio Fusion and medicine ball abs -the partner stuff. I have never done that one b/c I thought you had to have a partner. I've been missing out darn it. Really like that one.

Hope everyone is having a great Friday,
Heather

Good Morning,

I am getting tired of not doing anything so tonite I am going to do beginner pilates just something lite but better than not doing anything. DD is seeing hemotologist today I couldn't go so her dad is going with her. She is now complaining of being tired and dizzy.
 
Roxie - I think it's ok to do light workouts on your rest week. I'd go stir crazy if I hadn't done something during my STS rest weeks. I think that as long as you're doing lower intensity activities and no weights, you're good. Keep us up to date on your daughter.

Hey Girls!

I did DISC 2 today: (switched up the rotation a bit, did DISC 3 , Legs, on Wed). It was Triceps and Back! What a long workout for just 2 body parts! :eek: But I liked it!

Tomorrow I have to bring the boys mid morniing for their flu shots, my usual workout time, so I won't be getting my cardio in. Bummer.

Heather: Nice that you got a day off AND it makes a 3 day weekend for you! Did you decide what you're going to do next for a rotation? ... Do tell, how do you do Med ball abs, with a partner, with no one? Though I have to admit, the first segment of Med Ball Abs is my favorite!...

Debbie: Nice job today! WOW, you got some big weights going there! I know, Overhead shoulder presses are one of my least favorite shoulder exercise.

Roxie: I don't blame you for having to do a workout, just SOMETHING! Pilates sounds like a good choice. Yes, do keep us updated on your daughter!
 
Chris- I only did the first part. I didn't know that it had like 10 mins without a partner so this was the first time I tried it. I swear I spend over an hour today thinking about my next rotation. I have a conference for work this week (wed - fri) and then I think DH and I will be out of town Sat and Sun. Very stressed about trying to figure out how to get workouts in - even if it's just cardio.

Soooo...tomorrow and Sun I am doing upper body premixes from 4DS. I did them in a rotation Debbie put together where you do them once through then repeat. Then I'll do legs Tues. The following week I think I am going to try something a little different. I am going to put PH and Pyramid together. Example: Pyramid Chest & Back work followed by Chest & Back from PH. If I like that, I plan on doing 3rd week with the 4DS that I'm doing this week then 4th week Pyramid and pair with maybe MM or ME. We'll see.

Heather: Ah! You certainly DID put a lot of thought into a rotation! What a really cool combo. Hope you like it!... So you did the "without a partner" Med Ball abs only? Isn't it cool? I love the different moves in that.
 
Hi girls!;)

Great job on all of your workouts today, I definitely found them inspirational reading!

here's my workout for today:

iTread Set26C= 24 min+2songs=31 Min
Distance= 2.62 Miles
Calories burned= 407
BPM's= 141,149,156,160,160,163,125.
This was fun and I love mixing up iTread with Cardio Coach on the shorter runs anyways.

Amy Bento's All Pump Xtreme- NRG Mix-3Day Split Back, Bi's, & Tri's= 42 min
Calories burned= 315

This was really fun it did sort of remind me of a shorter mix being a cross between PS and GS. I had fun and I really felt my lats with it.

Debbie-Wow! High fives on today's STS workout for you. Impressive weights too. Isn't STS a lot of fun and challenging? I really found myself enjoying weights so much that I like to keep up with them in my workout rotations concentrating on certain muscel groups etc... I'd never really thought about it before but now its definitely something I focus on.

Great job everyone and high fives all around!:D

Hugs~;):)
