Good morning ladies,

Today I will do yoga, take a walk with the dogs and work my abs!

I will be back for personals!

Have a great hump day!
 
Hey Everyone,

Today was S&H Triceps and Biceps. My arms were shaking by the end of this workout! I loved the ab work too. My dog came down to keep me company and practically sat on me while I did my abs. (silly thing)

Counting the days until our vacation...
 
I managed to drag my butt out of bed early (DH was up at 5 to swim anyway) and did Cardio Fusion then abs. So I'm done for the day. Great feeling! Tomorrow will be legs (GS), kind of dreading that one already. :eek:

Belinda - enjoy your workout!

Karen - good job with triceps/biceps. My dogs like to get in my face when I get down on the floor. Makes it really hard to do your ab workouts! One of mine especially likes to help me stretch.

Roxie - have you every read Tom Venuto's book? It's really a great read about nutrition and is full of information about fueling your body correctly. Some is about weight loss, but all the info is very valuable in my opinion. It may help you with your eats.

Didn't get to log my workout yesterday because I had to take my mom to her appointment to get her hip surgery date scheduled. We met with the doctor and I really like him. I feel confident that he will do everything he can to make this procedure as painless as possible. Her surgery date is Sept. 28th.

I got up yesterday and did cardio. Chose Cardio Coach #6 w/Sean. Had a great workout. Actually, it was a puke status workout.

Today was STS Meso 1, Week 3, Disc 9 - Legs. This was an ok workout, wasn't too happy with all the plate work. I just don't like those exercises. My legs were toast by the end, though.

Warmup:
Squat Lunge Sequence 8/4 - BW
One Leg Sit N Slide with Paper Plate - 12#/15 reps
Lateral Step Ups (dumbbell) - 12#/15 reps a side

Workout:
Deadlifts Wide Stance (dumbbell) - 25's/15 reps
Side Lunge onto 6" High Step - 20#/15 reps each side
45 Degree Lunge (Same Leg) (dumbells) -15's/15 reps each side
Front Squats Narrow Stance (dumbbell) - 30's/15 reps
Static Low End Lunge Same Leg 3/1 Count - 15's/12 reps each side, different counts
Plie Squats Alternating Hand (dumbbell) - 25#/24 reps
Deadlifts Wide Stance (dumbbell) - 30's/15 reps
One Leg Slide Back Lunges with Paper Plate (dumbbell) - 10's/16 reps each side (hated these)
Side Slide Lunges with Paper Plate - 15#/16 reps each side (hated these too)
Front Lunge Same Leg (dumbbell) - 15's/15 reps each side
Squats (dumbbell) - 30's/16 reps
Calf Raises (dumbbell) - BW/40 reps (had to drop the weights because my forearms were burning big time after the squats.
Leg Press (dumbbell, High Step) - 20#/15 reps each side
Stiff Legged Deadlift on Platform (dumbell) - 25's/13 reps (was suppose to be 15, low back was yelling at me)
Wall Squats Double Leg (body weight) - BW/8 slow reps
One Leg Deadlift (Toes Elevated) 3/1 Count - 15#/12 reps each side (I like these)

Bonus floor work:
Leg raises (r + L) - 3.15# ankle weights/24 reps (these were hard on the 2nd leg. Burned big time)
Outer Thigh - 3.15# ankle weights/24 reps
Hamstring and Glute Work with Plate Alternating legs - 8 reps per leg
Hamstring and Glute Work with Plate Both legs - 8 reps per leg
Adductor Glide Ins - 8 reps (Could not slide and do these. They sucked)
Adductor Hamstring Glide Ins - 8 reps
Glute Presses - 24 reps

Wasn't too thrilled about the floor work in this one. The plate work is just stupid.
 
Good Morning,

Running late today, I am suppose to do Ramp it Up tonite but I have decided I need a good calorie burner so I am going to do 4ds LIS cardio only.


Heather-be careful with that ankle. I haven't read his book because it's a download.
 
Hi girls,

I just got done with 60 min. yoga + CM "stability !

Great job on your workouts ladies!

DH is coming home today, I don't have a lot of time for personals, sorry!

Debbie, I don't like the plates excerises either:p, they hurt my back!
 
Hey everyone!

Today for me was S&H, Bi's and Tri's and Coremax Seg #1. OMG, the slow on the tri's KILLED me. For some reason I don't remember quivering so bad when I did this workout before. (Which was eons ago). Though my favorite cathe-ism is on this one, "My muscles are quivering so bad, shaking like a chihauhau!". Love that! I did skip the abs on the S&H, and did the entire Coremax #1 though. Well, okay, I skipped a LITTLE bit of the planks! :eek:

Belinda: Yoga, a walk and abs sound awesome! You have fun with your DH!! no worries about us!

Karen: YAY for S&H and quivering!! LOL! (and your poochie!)

Debbie: I was wondering where you were yesterday... It's good you like your mom's surgeon, that makes a huge difference. Glad things went well! WOO HOO for "puke status" and also for doing today's STS legs. It's tough stuff, and legs is not my favorite to work either, so harder when you're not "into it"! You did great!

Roxie: It's good to change it up a bit. SI6 sounds kind of monotonous, but I understand sticking with something, just to say you DID IT and got THROUGH IT! ... I have one of those Tony Venuto books, but am embarassed to say, I haven't opened it (and i've had it for a long time). I mistakenly think I have all the time in the world to read it, and end up letting it sit there!

Heather
: I was relieved to hear you're modifying IMAX2 and your cardios!! I totally understand NEEDING to do something. GS Legs is a good one! The weight work is great!! And actually I do love the burn with the BAND at the end, just *hate* the ball. Be careful on the lunges though!

Nora:
KM was enough for me yesterday too. It's a long one to begin with! My butTOCKS are talking to me from the leg drills at the end. Always a good ending!

Wendy: Hope you had fun with your water play yesterday! I enjoyed my hour+ of sitting by the pool and in the pool. I know it's EVIL and BAD, but I did lay out in the sun for a bit, and it felt soooo good. I love the feel of the hot sun beating down on me (when I can jump in the pool when it gets too hot, that is!). How's Bi's and Tri's going for you today??

hey, Patti, where you at lately? Miiss ya!

Okay, maybe I'll go sneak in a bit of the pool again. CPR recertification can wait a little longer....
 
Chris - Sounds like you had a great relaxing time by the pool. I'm with you on the sun beating down feeling. It's so relaxing. I just load up on the sunblock and have an old-lady floppy hat! Sounds like you had a great workout today with S&H. If I didn't watch that DVD and tried to do the exercises on my own, there is no way I'd maintain that slow pace! I admit I am worried about the lunges in GS legs. I may have to modify with static lunges only. I love the floor work though. I have no idea why 'cause Lord knows it hurts! :eek:

Hi Ladies;)

I'm just stopping by to check in real quick.

Here's my workout today:

Slow & Heavy Tri's and Bi's=60 Min
Calories burned= 492

Core Max-Tough Core Premix= 18 minutes
Calories burned= 123

Chris- Wow! Are your Tri's talkin' to me and it ain't pretty. LOL!!! Nah, it was a good workout. I'm glad I did it. Man, Cathe sure got me with the abs today 7.5 minutes worth on the end of S&H Tri's&Bi's and then CoreMax Tough Core. :eek:

Well, that's it for today's workout for me. Tomorrow I'll do either Cardio Coach Volume 3 or 4. I'm not sure yet, I'm hedging to do Volume 4 so we'll see.

Have a great evening ladies and WTG on the workouts done today!!!:eek::)

Hugs!;):)

Checking in -

Nice job on the workouts, girls!
S&H bi/tris is on the docket - I'll probably do them later, I worked this morning.
Hey ladies, any ideas.....??? My stomach has been bothering me almost daily for about 10 days. It's fluttery like when you're nervous. Then kinda nauseous. Its felt like that in the past when I've had too much coffee. I've been incorporating green tea into my diet. And it seems to happen when I have green tea in the a.m. before work,then coffee at work. (I've always drank coffee at work as I usually have to be there by 6am). But maybe it's the combination? I also thought maybe I'd drank too much water and was diluting something in my stomach too much to be able to digest anything? Or maybe it's because I've been eating more green veggies? More fiber? I don't know. I'm gonna have to try to narrow it down so I can fix the problem. Any ideas would be appreciated! I think I'll have only green tea tomorrow......I'll start there...
Yes, Chris, I had a great time yesterday. Have a great night, all!
 
I decided to do Imax 3 but I had to repeat 8, 9 and 10 a couple of times until I got them right so I didn't get the calorie burn I really wanted.

Stats:
