Clare, I believe you! Yesterday did HC Upper Body and then tacked on Muscle Meltdown from Boot Camp Circuit- and was sweating- and tired by the end. I really think the MM is a great way to "perk up" your bis for an Upper Body workout;) Mary

Jane, Good idea, as I do Not have a problem tacking on a tabata and do have XTrain. Just received BootCamp Circuit ( ICE) and also HIT Circuit Upper Body and will try at least One Tabata either before or after - if I have any energy left. The problem, ironically for checking my heart rate is...

I really have problems with doing either steady state cardio or even HIT.. Though HIT is more tolerable for me. I, however, do like the BootCamp/ Drill Max and more metabolic workouts-- the kinds with light weights. So do They/Can they also count as my cardio?? Pls say YES:p:p., but be truthful...

I am now completely pain free and have had 4 PT sessions and am doing well. When the therapist asks me to do 25 reps, I make sure I do more:p... I owe this to all your suggestions.. What I think has helped most is doing Muscle Max, High Step Circuits and Trisets with 2 or 3 pound weights. I feel...

I went to PT today and am So glad I did.. The therapist was great and tested me for about 25 minutes. Said I was doing Very well, but my shoulder and upper back were somewhat weakened from the injury- and Not exercising for 5 weeks. He is putting me on a program that will be in 3 phases and...

Firemedic, Tks for the advice.. I Do have Trisets and will definitely do the UB pre-mix. Today is my first day of PT in two hours..... and I will see what their accessment is -- including the bands. As of a couple of days ago, I have No pain at all.. I do believe from taking a month off without...

This is why I Love this group!:D.. First, Elsie thank you.. I thought about what y0u said, and called my doctor's office for a script for PT. He was So nice. He called me back himself and said he would be glad to write on. I decided on another PT as they have reformers, etc which at some point...

Thanks all for your replies. The doctor I am seeing is a sports medicine doctor and the doc for some of the pro teams here, so I do say I trust him. I also talked to one of the special trainers at my gym. his background is functional rehabilitation. He uses a gravity machine, which is like a...

HI All, Was minding my own business three weeks ago, doing a little shoulder work when all of a sudden felt this Tightness in my shoulder area.. it did Not go away, hurt a lot-- and had to have a steroid shot, ice etc,etc... Have been going Nutz as I have not been able to work out upper body...

KSDL - what I Will do is look at subs for the upright rows... I just thought" Hey no problem, I've been feeling fine for two years now.." Not so fast :rolleyes: I guess... Will be seeing my doctor for a recheck on Friday. He's an osteopathic doc, specializing in sports medicine. Will ask him...

Well, as I think back, the PT told me not to do upright rows and shrugs-- those are the two that have gotten more people back to her with shoulder problems. And yes:mad: in recent weeks, I have introduced upright rows again after not doing it for two years... What I think also has "helped"...

Thought I'd posted this, but did not see it on the Board... so here goes again...Apologize if it Is somewhere and I haven't seen it.. Have just been diagnosed with rotater cuff inflammation and pinched nerve. This is not the first time for this injury and last time required physical...

Ok, so far so good to both Stacy and Justine.. BTW, a few years ago I actually Loved boxing and kickboxing and took both at a gym with a "champion" trainer, but then as with many things for we "vidiots", I fell out of love with that form of exercise.. and havent' revisited it since till Hard...

Just did my 3rd day of the 90 day rotation, am happy with it but am not totally thrilled with boxing and/or kickboxing,even though this is a good and doable video. Would love your thoughts and suggestions for substitutions for it. Would it be HIT, Low Impact,Drill Max type, Step--or?? Have...
