Hi ladies. Sorry for the delayed post today. I'm taking an unplanned rest day. My legs are soooo sore from Sunday's workout. Yikes. I had really wanted to get out for a run today. Just isn't going to happen though. Hope everyone is having a good one. Getting closer to the weekend right???

Hi ladies! Saturday I ran 9.7 miles ( it was a gorgeous day). Yesterday I hit the gym for heavy legs and today I did upper body during lunch I did 10 minutes on the elliptical to start then did supersets of 3x5: Assisted chinups - 60# Underhand barbell rows - 85# Chest flye into press -...

Hi ladies. Today I am planning on hitting the gym for upper body weights. I think I am just going to go with 1 exercise per muscle group and do as supersets since I supersetted 2 exercises for the same muscle group on Tuesday and am still kind of feeling it. I think 2 exercises per group might...

well last night I ended up hitting the gym for legs. I had hoped for a run but the freaking weather forecast was WAY off. Thankfully we don't have snow at least - yikes. I started with 10 minutes on the elliptical then got my thoughts collected for a solid leg workout. It's been a long time...

Happy Hump Day. Last night I hit the gym for upper body weights. I went with supersets of 3x5 after a 10-minute warm up on the elliptical: Assisted pullups (failed at 4 on the 3rd set) - 60# Underhand barbell rows - 80# Dumbbell curls - 20's Hammer curls (failed at 4 on the 2nd set) -...

Debbie - I was thinking there would likely be 3 days perhaps between the upper body workouts giving plenty of time for the muscles to rest. Monday would probably be a cardio day. Of course, I want it to be a little bit flexible so that if the weather is nice one day but not another, I can switch...

Debbie - I was actually thinking 2 full upper workouts. But that might be too much perhaps? It'd mean working each muscle group twice a week. Tues: all upper Wed: cardio Thurs: legs Fri: Rest Sat or Sun: all upper again

Debbie - I wanted to get your thoughts on a workout plan. The total body workout is just not working for me right now. I just can't even get excited about it and that stinks b/c I've really enjoyed it in the past. Anyway, I was thinking of maybe doing 2 upper body days and 1 lower body sort...

Chris - hope you post some hair pics on FB! Glad you liked that workout. I've heard really positive things about his DVDs so I'm really intrigued.

Hi ladies. Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do. I ended up going out for a 6.2 mile run. The weather here is supposed to be stormy and crappy (again). Seriously what happened to spring? Debbie - 17 degrees???? Glad you had a good cardio session at...

Hi ladies. Yesterday I hit the road for an awesome 6.2 mile run. It was just one of those near-perfect runs. Love it when that happens. Today I am going to do weights. Maybe have to forgo legs though. My piriformis is hurting me terribly. I had planned on a long run tomorrow, but we have rain in...

Last night I hit the gym. It was the start of the 3rd week of the total body workout rotation. It called for 4 sets of 5 reps of the following exercises done as straight sets. I started with 10 minutes on the elliptical as a warm up. Wide grip pull ups - assisted @ 60# Incline chest flye...

Everyone is falling apart!!! Nora - I hope your back feels better soon. Take it easy with your workouts. Roxie - hope the migraine doesn't last all day. And being out in the wind sometimes can make you feel beat up! Debbie - ouch on hitting your head. Hope you feel better tomorrow...

Debbie - our weather is really nice this week. It was low 70's on Sat, but warmed up into 80's yesterday and again today. Pretty much the same all week up until the weekend then cooling into 60's.

This weekend I got in a long run on Saturday then did weights yesterday with 2 combos of the Boxing then abs from HR after. The weights were the same as last Sunday but done as supersets of 2x15. Today it's gorgeous out again - 80 degrees! I am hoping to get in a run after work if my...

I just realized I never checked in yesterday. Wednesday I got in a really great 6-mile run. The weather was gorgeous. Yesterday I hit the gym for weights. It was a pretty good workout with the exception of trying out (again) the standing leg press/squat machine. Either I don't understand how...

Oh I'd definitely take advantage of the weather!

Just reporting on my workout last night. The goal was to increase weights by 1.25-2%. The sets are done as 3x5 as supersets this week. I didn't have the weighted gloves so I wasn't able to increase for all exercises. Push ups - warm up set of 24 SS#1 Chest fly into chest press - 25's...

I haven't done the full workout in ages. I could never do all of the standing leg work!!! Killer. Hope you get to enjoy a walk.

Today will be weights at the gym. Same as last week only done as supersets and increasing the weights (though without weighted gloves, not sure how much I can increase, maybe need to lug those to the gym with me). Roxie - good job getting that one done! Nora - hope you're feeling better...
