    Riding the X-Train into Summer! Join me! ❤

    Clocking in with Xtrain Legs (just had time for standing, floor, and rear delts today) and LITE Reved Up Rumble. I felt like kickboxing today, eventhough Hardstrikes is on the docket for tomorrow!

    Haven't checked in for a couple days! Yesterday I completed Cardio Leg Blast and decided to try to go up on all weights from what Cathe was doing, and it went well. I even ended up using a small barbell for squats and deadlifts (I didn't feel like holding two 30 pound dumbells!). Then I...

    Yes, I have a proper squat rack, so that is the only reason I can go that high. I have been working on squatting and deadlifting off and on for about 2 years now. With time and practice, you will really surprise yourself!

    Ok, so I completed Burn Sets Chest, Back, and Shoulders yesterday. Wow...just wow. I can feel my mind gears (and muscles!) turning when I completed this workout! Cathe goes REALLY heavy! And going super heavy for 10 reps is NO joke, folks! For some exercises I was able to keep up with Cathe, for...

    Oh that is great Jane! April 6th it is! Have you noticed some good strength gains in STS? I was so happy to have completed that rotation before this Xtrain 90 Day, as in looking through my past records, I was able to come in stronger!

    Today I completed All Out Low Impact Hiit with Core 1. Man, I love that workout! It is so fun! Just when you kinda get bored with one section, it moves on to the next (floor, step, sliders, etc.). ❤❤❤

    Ok so yesterday I completed Bis and Tris + Core 2. Man, Cathe's triceps are so much stronger than mine! It always amazes me! Then today, I completed Legs and Delts. I was going to go running after until I realized the planned premix was premix 3 which is standing, chair, ball, floor, and delts...

    So today Hardstrikes was in the rotation, but I pulled my back yesterday, so I decided to do Xtrain Ride today. Great cardio workout! Except for one song that sounds horribly out of tune...lol. I am feeling antsy, so will probably get on my treadmill later. I actually bought a great rebounder...

    Nicki I think I spoke too soon! It is rainy and miserable today with some hale even! Holy cow, what a change! No dog walking or bike rides for me today! :( Nice work knocking out D18! ❤

    Ya, I've read about Brett Contreras and even own his Strong Curves book (great read btw!). He has some great exercise suggestions that hit the glutes from every angle! A few years ago, I got up to hip thrusting around 265# a couple times. I'm nowhere near that now, especially doing it 100 times...

    Today was Cardio Leg Blast. I'm not gonna lie, I was sort of dreading this workout, but it was actually fun! That combination of plyometrics and traditional lower body strength training is the real deal! I then did the bonus 100 rep hip thrusts. Let me say I was definitely NOT able to do 100...

    Okay, first Xtrain workout in the books! Chest, Back, Shoulders, and Core 1. Felt great, although I think my muscles did not know wth was going on because they had just been doing straight sets in the rep range of 8! Jumping up to 16 reps was crazy; however, I kept up with Cathe's weights and...

    Riding the X-Train into Summer! Join me! ❤

    Official start is tomorrow! It looks like I will start off with Chest, Back, and Shoulders (higher rep). I will probably tack on some core and a timesaver spin for cardio. Just found out today that my school will be shut down not only next week, but the week after that as well! 3 weeks off! I am...

    Hi all! I have just finished STS and feel so much stronger. I did gain some muscle and strength, but did not particularly lose fat (wasn't really the goal). Now I would like to continue to get stronger but also shed some fat for summer. Enter: XTrain 90 Day Rotation! I am beginning this rotation...

    Lower Body Workout to Pair with Ramped Up Upper Body

    I feel like Cardio Leg Blast from the Xtrain series would pair nicely with this!
