Today was Biceps and I had an excellent workout. Burned some major calories today.
10 minute warmup on treadmill.
8 sets - 20 seconds on/10 seconds off each exercise.
2 minute rest between each set.
BICEPS
Dumbbell Curls:
15's - 8 sets/8 reps
***Probably should have raised this a pound or two but by the last set I was struggling. HR spikes with thise exercise.
EZ Preacher Curls:
35# - 8 sets/8-7 reps (up 5#)
***Good weight for this, not sure I can go up any higher here.
Reverse Up, Curl Downs:
12's - 8 sets/6 reps
***Probably could have added pound here.
Hammer Curls:
15's - 8 sets/8 reps
***Good weight, was wiped after this.
Then I got on my treadmill and did Cardio Coach #6c, Challenge 1 & 2. Both are sprints. Really got my HR up with that.
Not sure whats going on with my HR monitor. It kept losing my HR during the sprints. I was getting pissed. Maybe the battary needs changed. It's just unusual that I'm having trouble with this, I haven't had any problems with it since Gene got it for me.
HR STATS:
65 minutes total
2 minutes below zone
37 minutes in zone
27 minutes above zone
1.5 miles travelled
528 calories burned

Hey everyone,
Today was IMax 2. I was going to do a shorter cardio but I saw that this one is under a hour so I figured what the heck. I felt pretty good, considering my burst of energy last night. (I tried the first plyo legs disc and only did the plyo moves - my butt hurts again this morning...)
We are getting rain and snow today - lovely.

FROM YESTERDAY:
LMAO!!! That's funny! Good sign that your butt was/is hurting!!
I'll have to check that stretch out. Sounds like something I really need to try! Thanks!!!
Nice job Nora!!! So did you think it was hard???
Good plan, I will do that Nora. I never think to use that on my butt end. LMAO!! But you are right, it will help. I'll do that tonight. Thanks!
Roxie - It's hard for me to say "lift with 12's for the sumo's" or "use 20's for bench press." I can't dictate what weights you should be using because I have no idea how strong you are. What you need to do is consciencely lift 2-3# more each workout. So where you are using 10's for the sumo squats, next time use 12's. This is the only way to improve. Even if you feel like you can't complete the reps, do the exercise until you need to stop. Rest a few and then continue. You'll find that your body will adjust quickly and you'll be lifting heavier with each workout.

Debbie you'll be proud of me. I tackled the entire Cardio Coach Volume 5 and live to tell the tale.

Hey Girls...
I did a weird little mish mosh of cardio this morning. The rotation called for MIC Hi/Lo only, and then Cathe's Quick Fix Cardio (which I don't like so much). I really didn't feel like doing either of those, so I started with the original IMAX. I did 3 intervals, and then thought about Plyo Legs scheduled for Wednesday, and switched over to MIC Hi/Lo! Hi/lo really kicks my butt , I'm not used to that kind of cardio, and it drives my HR up there! Afterwards , I did Power 90's Ab Ripper 200.
My 3 boys are home this week from school , on Spring Break. It's rainy and damp and cool out, so there's a little craziness going on here. I've already lost my patience. I'm shipping my 2 younger boys over to my mom's for a sleepover. Either that or start drinking!
Hope Belinda is doing ok!
Patti: Good calorie burn!
Debbie: sounds like you got a good one in today! Do you get DOMS from all that weight work still?
Karen: I *heart* IMAX2, fun and great sweat!
Roxie: Nice workout planned for today!
Nora: Hi-5's on CC #5, I know you were dreading it a little!

Yes, believe it or not, I do. With this particular rotation I don't get as sore as I usually get, but I still know that I worked that muscle the next day.
Good evening ladies!
Hip Hip horay for Belinda she's finally gotten her sinus congestion/infection dealt with once and for all. I'm so thrilled for her and wish her all the best and speedy recovery.
Debbie, yes it did surprise me that Cardio Coach Volume 5 was definitely harder in many ways but not beyond my ability to do it and complete it successfully. I felt so thrilled and victorious that I'd tackled that beast and won.

Stretch= (6:17) BPM= 90 HR
Amy Bento's- In the Ring- Premix- Great NRG Mix= 52 min
Calories burned= 568
So much fun!
