Morning girls,
Today I felt like kicking myself in the butt, so I chose to do Mindy Mylreas Interval Express! Wow! What a workout. I was really pushing it. My HR monitor was always in the 170s by the end of the interval blasts. The last one with the power lunges actually pushed it to 180! I thought I was going to pass out.
I burned 553 calories by the time it was all through and then because I was still "up there" - I took my dog for a short walk to cool down. Total calories burned 618! Boy do I feel great!
Anyway, its off to starbucks Then to the bookstore and random shopping. I hope everyone has a great workout today!

Went to Amish country with my cousins and a friend yesterday so I didn't have time to post. I did get up early and workout. I did Meso 1, Disc 7, Chest, Shoulders & Biceps. Had an excellent workout. I can't believe all the pushups this crazy woman does!

Standing Front Raise (barbell) - 20#/15 reps
Seated Incline Hammer Curls Both Arms - 17's/16 reps
Chest Flys (Flat Bench) (dumbbell) - 25's/15 reps (good weight for this)

Side Leaning Lateral Raise (dumbbell) - 6#/15 reps

Love the 21 exercises. Those really give me a great burn. And I really liked all the pushups in this workout except for the Elmo style ones on the Stability Ball.
Had a great time in Amish country but ate way too much. Will really try to eat well this weekend.
Karen - That sounds like a really good workout. I don't care much for Mindy, but I only had one of her ab workout DVD's. Maybe her cardio stuff is better?

Ok, so today I did cardio and chose Tracey's Strikezone. This is the 2nd time I did this workout and I really loved it this time. Very fun sections. I skipped the spiderweb's, though, I just can't do them. One of these days I'll practice those and then I'll start doing that section.
HR got up there, I used my 1# hand weights too. That always helps get my HR up. Had a blast. I cannot wait for Strikezone II!
HR STATS:
1 hr total
8 minutes below zone
32 minutes in zone
23 minutes above zone
481 calories burned

Debbie - I don't care for some of Mindy's newer stuff. I bought her bootcamp workout a while back and the queuing was kind of bad. I recently just bought her two newest workouts but haven't tried them yet (they did look challenging though) However, I have quite a few of her older cardio workouts and I love them. They aren't very dancy - just straight to business. She is a bit of a character and makes some interesting comments - but she is a welcome change sometimes after doing Cathe workouts for so long.

Hey Everyone!
Today was scheduled to be 45 Interval Run. I wish I could have, but my boys are all home , and I couldn't take off for a run. So instead I did Turbo Jam's Fat Blaster (intervals) and then, instead of a segment from Abs Circuit, I did the Abs Mix Premix from COREMAX..it had a bit of everything in it, SB, Med Ball and floorwork. Cool!
I've been having this nagging ache in my right flank and back area, it's not horrible, but enough to make me know its there continuously! And I'm not sure if I got it after the coremax segment too..maybe I pulled something?
other than that, a little bit of cleaning today and then work tonight..
Did you guys see Cathe on Fox Business show? She did awesome!! I'm excited she's doing so well, and thought it was so cool that one of the hosts does her workouts all the time, and was excited about meeting her! LOL!
Belinda: We had similiar workouts today! I wonder what you ended up doing...
Roxie: good job getting a workout in today before you take off! Have fun!! I bet you look great, no worries!!
Debbie: Great STS workout yesterday!! I can't hardly remember what the heck those Elmo push ups were and if I could do them (probably not). you're rocking on the weights!! ... That's one thing we didn't do when we were in PA that I wanted to, visit Amish country. But my boys are too young and I'm sure we wouldn't ahve been able to see it the way we should ("Can we GOOO yet, MOmmyyyy??") Do you live in PA?.... I think I have that Strikezone, because I have one with those spiderman thingies. Couldn't get them either, but I bet one day I (we) will!
Karen: Oh i love that Mindy workout! It kicked my butt too! Did you do the Step AND the Hi/Lo or just the step? The step is an awesome workout, and her energy is catchy and makes ya want to do it. My HR got up there with FB intervals today too... low 170's during the intervals!
Nora: I was thinking of you yesterday doing GS, LEGS. I was thinking about how you LIKE lower body work and trying to enjoy it too! As I said, the weight work is ok, but the Ball stuff...forgetaboutit! Good job on gettting through that yesterday!!!
So my DH's work schedule is changing, and he asked me to get P90X for him ...he wants to start working out(it's been forever for him, since we were first married ... 21 yrs ago..maybe??). I found it on Ebay and ordered it Thursday. I'm excited about it, maybe I'll give it a shot! Do you guys have it and have you done it and what do you think of it? ... I did try to talk him into doing STS, but he's very put off by the Stability Ball work, and the plates, etc. he just wants weights...

Wow, sounds like everyone is getting in some really good workouts this Saturday. I did back and chest (GS). After S&H last week, GS almost felt like muscle endurance, flying through the sets. I kept yelling at Cathe to hold up a sec. LOL. Let a woman rest between sets for crying out loud. Still not feeling like I'm getting a good chest workout. I don't know if my form is wrong or what's going on. I know you don't have to be sore to be getting a good workout, but I feel like I should be feeling something...
