Cathlete
Good morning,

My plan for today is to do M1 D3, hope I iwll wake up:confused:

I will be back to report my workout/personals! Have a great and clean day!
 
Good Morning,

Tonite for me is Jillians BFBM (Banish Fat Boost Metabolism) not real commited to this rotation and I don't know why.

Belinda-enjoy your workout.
 
Today was another full body workout and I had a great workout. It was 2 sets of 15 reps, 2 minute rest between each set. This is how it went:

TRICEPS
Weighted Bench Dips - 55#
***I put a barbell in my lap and then put my heels up on my weight bench and my hands are on another straight bench I have. I get great range of motion with this one. Good weight, the last 2 reps were very tough.

TRAPS
Barbell Shrugs - 75#/15 reps; 95#/15 reps
***Love this exercise. I was going to do calf raises but changed my mind.

QUADS
Leg Extensions - 75#

SHOULDERS
Lateral Raise - 10's
***Concentrated on the upward motion. Need to be careful with this exercise due to my right shoulder.

BACK
Bent-Over Raise - 15's
***This one felt good. Probably could have gone a bit heavier.

CHEST
Decline Dumbbell Flyes - 22's
***Also could have gone heavier.

Did Abs as well. I chose Body Max 2 Ab work.

Stretched and that felt good.

That is all....

Heather - Don't get upset with yourself if you lift a little lighter then you should have. Next time go a little heavier. The first week is always kind of a test to see where you're at. You'll know better as the rotation progresses how much to lift. You are doing great!

Roxie - Maybe you need to change your rotation? It's hard to do something when your heart and soul isn't into it.
 
I am finally done with my workout:eek: I did D 3, legs today!I got up at 2:30 a.m with DH, way to early for me! Couldn't go back to sleep, had to take a nap this afternoon:confused: the weather here isn't helping!

Roxie, enjoy your workout tonight!

Debbie, wtg on your workout!

Off to work my back/abs:confused: BBL!

Debbie-good job getting those abs done. I think the reason I don't like these workouts is because of all the jumping jacks and jogging my knee just doesn't like that. She like good ol fashion calistenics
 
Hi ladies. This morning I did Cardio Fusion minus the last drill and abs from Basic Step Stability Ball Abs. It was a good workout. I hadn't done CF in several weeks, which was a good thing. It was much more fun again and time flew by. Got my HR up there.

So, I'm done with my workout for the day. LOVE that. Nothing hanging over my head now. Tomorrow I'll do what Debbie did today, but I'll definitely do calves. I have this strange obsession with working my calves. Love it. Maybe it's a carry-over from dance and how they were always so strong. Maybe I'm just crazy! LOL

Debbie - I am definitely going to go heavier next week. And you're right, this was just the first week. Thanks for the support (and the rotation).

Belinda - good job with your workout (as always of course)

Roxie - how's the soda situation today?

Happy Friday to everyone!!

Half of a 16oz bottle switched to water.
 
So my workout peetered out this morning. I started to do KCM's 30 Minute Step Blast, and got about 20 minutes done, and then the phone rang, and it was a longer conversasion... so I lost "it". I just ended up stretching afterwards (did the long stretch that Cathe has on Athletic Step). I hope to add in 20 more minutes sometime in my day. But.. I have centers at Jake's classroom at 1p, and I have to get my shopping done, AND cleaning for the weekend. AND, I really wanted to get in my meditation. I didn't yesterday. And I *LIKE* to do it. So we'll see.... It is my recovery week, afterall.

Belinda: TAKE A NAP, girl! You must be draggin!

Debbie: Nice workout today! Did you do that stretch for the hips?

Roxie: Maybe you could mix Jillian up with some Cathe to make it better?

Heather: YAY! for getting it done! And for enjoying it!

Nora: Lalo 2 (and the first one for that matter) is kind of circuit drills. You do some cardio drills (for example high knee runs, or squat jumps, or ski jumps) and then he has you do 15 reps of a specific exercise , which almost ALWAYS works the core, legs and upper body. Light weights, if any (I used 3 lbs, but probably could have used 5 lbs). it seems that more than one of the exercises involves some sort of push up. Or slow kicks to the side, or to the front. It really is intense. He uses what he calls the "Freeze" technique. Where you freeze your body part in the hardest part of the exercise (as in low squat stance). It's pretty cool and amazing how these simple moves can really kick your butt and you poop out towards the end of 15!
 
YIKES. It's 21 with chill of 8 right now. Good for you with the water jug. I got here this morning and realized that I misplaced my 32 oz cup. Ugh. Having to use a little styrofoam thing (which I hate to do for recycling reasons) so I have lost count, plus I keep having to get up to refill. Guess it's bonus exercise right?!

Stay warm (and hydrated)

Heather-forgot to mention the temp here is -3 with a wind chill of -19. I bought a new 64oz water jug and it sits on my desk.
