Debbie - if it makes you feel better my HRM is pissing me off too. I've changed the batteries in both the watch and the transmitter part even. Sometimes it just won't register a HR then sometimes it stops in the middle sometimes I have a HR while working out of 49 and sometimes 193 :mad...

TGIF!! Last night I hit the gym again. I warmed up 10 mins on the elliptical then did back from M2D15. I am sooooo freaking inefficient at the gym it's just laughable. Anyway, I took my green band with me for the band work and was happy to actually have the pullup/chinup option (even if it's...

Belinda - let's just say the gym went.... I did it, but it wasn't some super fun, fantastic workout by any means. I just hate having it feel like work now. It better pay off dang it! :eek:

Last night I ended up doing the elliptical for 45 minutes. No knee problems. Went home and iced it and massaged the IT muscle. Today I will go back to the gym after work and do back. I even have my green resistance band packed for the Y's and T's :D I'll probably try for 30 mins on the...

Debbie - thanks! I was calling them cross-body curls (I can't remember where I read about them). Also seen them call cross-body hammer curls - unless there is a subtle difference I am not seeing.

Chris - Yes, I just couldn't get into M1. I sooo want to try the Intensity workout. My DVDs came in Monday but I think it'd be too much for me knee. Have you ever notice that I think in the 3rd time through on the challenge she seems to falter on that whole triple/starburst step? It's almost...

I never came back to report on yesterday's workout which was biceps from M2D15: Dumbbell Curls - 12, 10, 8, TF: 16's Seated Alternating Curl - 12, 10, 8 - 16's Preacher Curl on Stability Ball Double Arm - 12, 10, TF - 15's I have DOMS in my chest, shoulders and now biceps. After that I...

Melissa - I totally needed that chuckle! I hear you on needing to vent even if it's silly sounding. It does indeed still add up.

Just stopping by to say that last night I did not do any cardio. Today I plan on biceps and abs and I may try to do MMA Boxing. Debbie - I can definitely see why you don't want to do any cardio. Do you like cycling? Belinda - I soooo want to try Insanity. I would use it for cardio...

Jessica - It's not the patellar thing unfortunately. I could wear my handy dandy brace and fix that one LOL. I thought about kickboxing but am afraid of anything that might cause me to roll in at all. I may try spin on Wednesday. "easy" cycling was suggested from what I've read. I could just...

Debbie - there is a track fairly close but I sure can't imagine running in circles for 10 miles LOL. It would be ideal for intervals though. I think running on grass might be good too - softer at least. On my longer runs I do go to a spot that has pedestrian and cycling trails. There are...

Jessica - Thankfully it doesn't really hurt otherwise, just that downward step or if I let my knee roll in sitting down (which is really hard not to let happen sitting at a desk all day). I've added in stretches for IT band and have been massaging that muscle as well to help loosen it up. I'm so...

Ok, made executive decision to jump into M2. I started off doing chest & shoulders from M2D13 Flat Bench Press (DB)*2x12 @50% - 20's Flat Bench Press (DB) 12,10,8 - 25's Flat Bench Chest Flys 12,10,8 - 20's Incline Press 12,10,8 - 25's Incline Flyes 12,10, 8 - 20's Seated Front Press...

Debbie & Belinda - nice weights ladies!!! I'm wanting to do this rotation now! Roxie - enjoy whatever workout you end up going with. I'm definitely going to skip out on leg weights this week. Jessica - Sometimes sleep is the answer - sounds like that was the right choice for today. It's...

Sorry for being completely MIA. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving break. Here's what I did: Thursday - ran 5 miles (got stuck in downpour too, not just a sprinkle) Friday - ran 10 miles (now my knee is hurt) Saturday - M1D2 Back & Triceps (really feel this in shoulders and that's it)...

Jessica - look at you making smart choices :p Roxie - hope you have a great workout! Debbie - sounds like you are really loving this new rotation. I may need to give it a go after STS.

Last night I went ahead and did my first STS leg workout. I ended up having to do disc 6 b/c disc 3 wouldn't play all the way. I forgot how quickly the leg workouts go! So far I can still walk today at least :D OH and I HATE wall squats. Front Lunge + Back Lunge - body weight Alternating...

Jessica - at least we're both on the same page!

Jessica - You can laugh but I KNOW you understand!! Friday is supposed to be nice weather so I know I'll want to get out for a run - especially after Thursday ;) I think we might get out early tomorrow, but it's one of those things that you just don't bank on. If I knew for sure, I'd run at...

Jessica - that's why the big debate I have going on as when to try to run and when to take the rest day darn it. I would love to do the legs after work and rest tomorrow b/c I don't know if I'll have time to do legs tomorrow and rest Thursday. But if I rest tomorrow, chances are the weather...
