CRACY, STRONG AND LOVING IT January 2016 - January 2020

Today I did Cardio Coach 3 and had a great workout. I like this one, always my go to if I want to do a 40 minute run. I also did about 15 minutes of Yoga Stretch by Karen Voight. I'm really trying to do yoga daily and if not daily at least every other day. Last night I did an 18 minute Yoga for Runners workout that I seen on Youtube. It was pretty good but I should have found one that was a half hour. I needed more yoga. Finding the time is the hardest to do, of course. By the time I get done with dinner and clean-up, it's about 7 p.m. I don't really want to worry about stretching and yoga this time of the day since I just want to wind down and sit for a while.

Workout was 40 minutes, ran 2.87 miles, burned 371 calories and went 5764 steps. HR was 151/183.

I looked at the last time I did this workout and my stats are almost identical. Even step count, I had 5765 last time I did this workout. LOL!!!

Roxie - Nice job keeping up with your workouts!! You are doing great!

Nora - great job with your workouts, you always have such high calorie burns, I bet you can eat anything!

Belinda - Great job on your Barre workout. Those have never really been my thing. Glad you like doing them! :)
 
Good morning,

JS Sole sculpt + SBF TB barre is done.

Debbie - I'll be honest, barre was never my thing either when I started working out with Cathe. Once I tried SBF and Booty barre I was hooked. Plus, I really like the results I get in my lower body/upper body. Change is good. Nice job on your yoga and Cardio Coach today.

That's it for me today. Have a great day and workout, everyone.

Jumped on my treadmill for 1 mile, burned another 127 calories, went 2430 steps and HR was 107/126.

I am loving that cookbook I purchased - Run Fast, Cook Fast, Eat Slow. The recipes are awesome, easy and have wonderful taste!!! I love the Mug Cake recipe, great snack at night. Calories a bit high but I am making it work. I love this book!!

Hoping to get some yoga in tonight. Really need it.

Great workouts everyone!!

My right knee is really bothering me, I did a yoga workout last night and could not do runners pose. When my knee went back and rested on the floor a really bad pain went through it. I've had this happen before and it will go away, but I'm bummed that it's back. I think it started when I went to church last Saturday and knelt down, that really hurt. I keep thinking "I'm too young to sit during the kneeling part of church" but I might just have to start doing that. Putting pressure like that on my knees is not good.

So today I decided to just walk on my treadmill. Even though running does not hurt when I have this type of pain, I didn't want to take any chances. So I walked and then did Yoga Stretch by Karen Voight. Love that stretch.

Workout was 40 minutes, burned 252 calories, went 2.01 miles and did 4346 steps. HR was 111/127.

Hope you all have great workouts today!!
 
Good Morning,

I haven’t said anything but two and a half months ago I started suffering some wrist pain I can’t even lift the grandkids or hold the baby without pain so it has made lifting difficult so yesterday I went to the doctor and found out I had tendinitis and she gave me a cortisone shot hopefully that will help but I can’t lift heavy for three weeks so just boxing and kickboxing for a while.

Debbie- getting old sucks
 
Good morning girls!:)

I just finished today's workout and will now check in.

Here's today's workout:

Jessica Smith- Tone Your Trouble Zones- Buns & Thighs Walk= 32 Min
MV= 8.0
CB= 350

High Reps- Lower Body Only= 35 Min
MV= 6.50
CB= 311

KCM 30MTF- Athletic Conditioning Vol.1= 36 Min
MV= 9.20
CB= 452

Total calories burned= 1113:cool:

Debbie- Sorry your knee is hurting you, I hope that goes away soon. Good job on your workout today choosing to do workouts that would be easier on the knees. Nicely done with a 2.01 Mile treadmill walk and Yoga Stretch with Karen Voight. WTG!!! Have a great and blessed day.:cool:;)

Roxie- Sorry to heat about your wrist and tendinitis. I'm glad you went to the doctor and got a cortisone shot another thing that might help is a wrist splint, it velcros on so you can take it off when you want but would hold wrist in place while it heals and gives support for that wrist to help in the mean time. You don't need to wear wrist brace all the time just when it usually bugs you. I wore mine during the day only. Its an option to think about. I understand this will limit what kind of workouts you can do like sticking to walking, running, kickboxing or boxing. Hope your wrist starts to feel better soon. Have a great workout and a blessed day.:);)

Belinda- Great job getting workout today with a walk + TB barre, sounds like a winning combination. WTG!!


Hugs & blessings:)

Today I had a really good workout doing STS Meso 2, Back & Biceps, although I think I could have gone heavier with all the exercises. I didn't want to rush it with the heavy lifting just yet as I know it will progress as the weeks go by. Still had a great workout. Had one interruption with our two cats fighting each other because a stray cat was outside. This happens on a frequent basis and it is so scary. They call it "displaced anger" and they fight each other thinking they are fighting the cat outside. There was fur everywhere. I really hate when that happens and I wish we can figure out a way to keep stray cats out of our yard.

Anyways, workout was good:
1 minute rest between each set

BACK
Warmup with Lat pulldowns, T-Pull and Y's
Wide Grip Chin Ups: 12 reps
Wide Grip Pullups: 12 reps
Close Grip Chin Ups: 12 reps
One Arm Dumbbell Row: 25# - 12/10/8 reps
To failure set - 14 reps
Barbell Rows: 50# - 12/10/8 reps
To failure set - 12 reps
Barbell Deadlifts: 50# - 12/10 reps
To failure set - 12 reps

BICEPS
Barbell Curls: 25# - 12 reps
Barbell Curls: 30# - 10/8 reps
To failure set: 12 reps
Seated Alternate Dumbbell Curls: 15's - 12/10 reps
To failure set: 9 reps
Barbell Preacher Curls: 25# - 12/10 reps
To failure set: 12 reps

I don't usually like doing preacher curls - although they used to be my favorite exercise - because they really hurt my elbow. I didn't hyper-extend and it didn't feel too bad.

Workout was 59 minutes, burned 427 calories. HR was 133/177.

Roxie - So sorry to hear about your wrist!! Ouch. Hope the shot helps.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
