I dunno **shrugs** Maybe there will be a delayed reaction??

I am glad I went to the podiatrist. He agreed that at this point I should be able to do more. Based on his exam he thinks it's scar tissue. Makes sense to me. He put an injection in it :confused: and said it should be at least 50% better in a couple of weeks. He said that activity is "as tolerated" and that I wasn't gonna do any damage by working out. I am gonna rest today. I'll do upper body tomorrw and maybe some stationary bike. Then I'll see where it's at.
 
Catherine - Ouch on the injection! Maybe you should look into massage to help the scar tissue, worth trying anyway. Sorry he didn't have better news for you.

Thinking about attempting STS on my own. Will you help me if I don't know what an exercise is by it's listing? I am watch the CatheTV videos first.
 
Linda, I have been doing massage on it myself every night. I just don't think I'd trust anyone else to touch it- if you know what I mean ;)

Of course we'll help you with STS **insert evil laugh**
 
This morning I did 4ds upper body premix. That one is a fryer for sure. I really have a hard time with the shoulder work in this one for some reason :confused: I really wanted to do some cardio(bike) this afternoon, but can not motivate my behind off the couch!!
 
I did an 1:40 minutes of Weed?Mulch Max then off to the beach for the day. Just arrived home to shower and change and now off to a cookout!
 
Okay, today was my last landscape day, probably put in another 1:45. Shame of it is I am not even half way done my yard. :(:confused:




Happy 4th everyone!
 
Happy 4rth!!! Back at ya Linda ;)

I've got a bit of upper body DOMs from yesterdays w/o. I decided to rest the foot another day before trying the bike again. I'm not even gonna talk about how frustrated I am right now :confused:
 
Catherine - I am so sorry your foot isn't better. I can only imagine what you are going through, especially with the RT coming up so soon!


Well, I just did an hour or so of Mower Max. Last time I did that one I burned over 400 calories.:D
 
Linda, wanna come to my house and do some work?? LOL!! I hate yard work and never do it. Problem is DH doesn't keep up very well and so our yard (it does get mowed regularly) needs some serious work :eek:
 
I've been icing the foot and really babying this weekend. It's always a little worse after the shot before it gets better. It seems some better. I just finished CCPP and I'm icing it as we speak. Not because it hurts, but as a precaution. I will stick with the bike this week and next weekend try something "low impact" and see. Sorry to be such a whiner! I'm really not in a lot of pain, I just can't do what I want to do.
 
Catherine - If I liked yard work, I would certainly come help you, but I can't stand having to do my own yard.

Anyway, don't know if I can do STS, already looking at Disc One card and don't understand exactly what some of the exercises are. Here are the ones I am unsure of:

Band Pulls
Incline Curl Alt. & Rotate at Top (What is the rotation)
Incline front raise on SB
Standing quarter Stop Curls
Prone Pushups on SB
Seated Lateral raise Both Arms High End
Straddle Pushups
Side Leaning Lat Raise
Seated Curls Alt + Both Arms
Core Pushups
Seated Front Press Double Arms 1.5\'s
Incline Rear Raise on SB

Linda, you may already know this, but there are video clips of all the exercises of STS under the workout manager. That might be easier than me trying to put the exercises to words. I've never been very good with giving directions :eek: You go to the workout manager and log in, click on calander, over on the right click on add workout, select STS then select which disc. At that point you should be able to scroll down and see all of the exercises listed with a play video option to click on.

Let me know how that works.

Catherine - Cool! and Thanks! I had no idea! I was hoping there was something like that. Next question I was playing with the calendar earlier but messed it up, is there anyway to clear it?
 
You can go to the main calander page and click on the day you want to delete. Over on the right there's a show details button click it and scroll down to delete w/o.
 
Okay, I viewed all the exercises and just have two questions.

On the third set of pushups which are standard and 30 reps, what is the count? Are they 30 singles or does she do the 1.5 again?

Then on the Incline Rear Raise on the SB there is no video, so could you help me with that one?
 
The pushups are singles.

The rear incline raise on SB- you are slightly inclined on the SB face down with the chest on the ball and do rear raises. I don't know if that makes any sense.
 
If I am able to move my arms at all tomorrow I will consider myself lucky! I did STS Disc 1 (no disc). It was a humbling experience. But someone please tell me how in the world are you suppose to lift 60% of your 1RM toward the end of the workout? It's impossible! Anyway, I used GS Chest & Triceps as the warmup then did TammiLee Webb's Total Stretch sitting stretch. Workout was 1:07 and I burned 400 calories.

Oh yeah, and this woman loves pushups!
