Good Morning,
Tonite for me is CTX Power Circuit blast cardio only and abs, I have never done this workout and actually this whole week is CTX and I have never done any of those.

Hope you all had a great Christmas! Mine was awesome!
I have to say I am really getting sick of this rotation. I think I am going to finish out the week and then start a new rotation with the New Year. I just cannot do one more pushup or pullup. I need something different.
Today was Chest, Shoulders & Triceps. I had an ok workout. After taking Fri., Sat. & Sun. off it was really hard to get up and get started. But I got her done.
I increased either reps or weights as much as possible.
Slow-Motion 3-in-1 Pushups - Wide - 1 set 4/4 count; Standard - 1 sets 4/4 count; Close - 1 sets 4/4 count. Took a few seconds rest and then did 18 fast standard pushups. Did the slow pushups on my knees. Just didn't have it in me this morning to do it all on my toes.
In & Out Shoulder Flyes - 10's/16 reps
***This is a front raise and a lateral raise.
Bench Dips - 35 reps
Plange Pushup - 12/5 on toes
***These are like tricep pushups but your fingers are turned out instead of in.
Pyke Presses - 12/5 reps
***I did these with my toes up on my weight bench and I was in a pyke position doing shoulder presses.
Side-Tri Raises - 10 reps each arm
***This didn't bother my right shoulder to much today. I hate still this exercise.
Floor Flyes - 2 sets/4 reps each side
***This is a pushup using a paper plate. You slide your arm to the left, do a pushup and slide it back in. Do this 4 times and then switch sides. These burned.
Scarecrows - 5's/15 reps
***This is a rotator cuff exercise. Hold weights with elbows up like you are doing an upright row. Hold it and turn the hands up and down. These burned like crazy. Felt it in my traps.
Overhead Tricep Extensions - 30#/12 reps
***Used one weight behind my head.
Two-Twitch Speed Pushups - 3 sets + 4 fast
***Did 4 fast pushups, then 3 slow count pushups.
Y-Presses - 17's/10 reps
***These are overhead presses only you press out to the front more then just straight up and down.
Lying Tricep Extensions - 20's/12 reps
***Went heavier here and it felt great.
One minute rest
Side-to-side Pushups - 12 reps
***Basically you "hop" one leg and one arm out to one side, do a push-up, and then return to center briefly before going out to the other side and doing the same thing. I liked this exercise too.
Pour Flyes - 10's/10 reps
***You do a lateral raise and then turn your hands down like you are pouring something out of a jug. Got a great burn.
Side-Leaning Tricep Extension - 17's/10 reps each side
***Just like it says, you sit on a bench or chair and lean over to one side and do extensions. I did them on my stability ball, love this exercise.
One-Arm Pushups - 10 on knees
***Sloppy as all get out. I just can't do one-arm pushups.
Weighted Circles - 5's/20 reps; 3's/20 reps
***These were for the shoulders and it burned like hell. Did 10 reps forward, 10 reverse, took a few seconds break and did it again.
Throw the Bomb - 12#/12 reps
***This is a cool twist on a standard overhead triceps extension. You do one arm at a time, and with the other arm, you point forward as if you were pointing to a receiver down the field that you were about to throw a football to. Press the dumbbell straight up in the air and be sure to stop when you get to the top! You aren't actually throwing the dumbbell, but rather modifying the move so that you can put a slight hip twist into it. I liked this one.
Clap or Plyo Pushups - 10 reps/on knees w/clap
***Figured I'd try to get a clap out of this, I did well but did them on my knees.
Slow-Mo Throws - 8's/10 reps
***This is very similar to the Scarecrow exercise, only this time you raise your arms straight out in front of you. From the up position, you then rotate at the elbow to bring the dumbbells back to your ears, then rotate forward to the straight arm position. Drop your arms briefly to your sides, and then repeat. Really felt this one.
Front-to-Back Tricep Extensions - 15#/10 reps each side
***This is a one-arem tricep extension only you alternate pressing to the front and back.
One-Arm Balance Pushups - 12 reps
***Do a pushup and then stack your feet and bring one arm up. Repeat to the other side. I love this exercise.
Fly-Row Presses - 8's/11 reps
***This combines 4 different exercises: the Dumbbell Fly, the Upright Row, the Overhead Dumbbell Press, and the Reverse Curl. You do the fly first, then drop your arms back to your sides before doing the upright row. Without coming out of the up position of the row, drop your elbows and push the dumbbells up overhead, then bring them down and do a reverse curl, ending the movement in the starting position for the next repetition.
Dumbbell Cross-Body Blows - 12's/30-8 reps
***I loved this one, it's basically an alternate chest press but you go across your body and turn the palms toward your face, really works the tri's.. I did it laying on the floor. Great burn with this one.

Good Morning!
Getting ready to leave for our Continuous Glucose Monitor Training (a new device to help my son's diabetes stay better in control) .... I'm getting a little anxious, not because of the new system (which DH and I had to spend 2 hours reviewing online last night ), but because time is going to be cramped, and I'm not sure when I can get my workout in. Scheduled is DISC 34 (i think?) of MESO 3, my LAST week. Chest and Back. Isn't it sick that I get all worked up thinking about how I might miss my workout??? Tomorrow is going to be tricky too, since my sis is coming for a sleepover. I'm definitely going to try a HiiT, a good time crunch workout.
Belinda: YAY for MIS! That is a tough one!!!
Roxie: I rarely use CTX too, it will be fun to do new workouts this week, I bet. Let us know what you think.
Debbie: So i'm gussing P90X is a little more boring than STS? That kind of bums me out. I did want to try to start it some time next year. But now I'm all excited about Shock Cardio, and want to see what Cathe puts out for a rotation for January...
Wendy: Did you not enjoy Plyo Legs yesterday? Or was it last week you didn't get into? You really do need to be in the frame of mind for that workout...
*waves* to Heather and Nora!!!

Hi ladies. DH and I both took off today and tomorrow. I think we're going to the 12:15 spin class so we can get a workout in and out of the way for the day. Hoping he can get by his office and pick up my Shock Cardio so I can do that tomorrow!
Belinda - good job with the full body.
Roxie - I don't own those workouts. Let me know how they go.
Debbie - that's the one thing I've heard about P90X, that it just gets boring. At least you gave it a shot and maybe you can figure out how to work some of it into a new rotation at some point.
Chris - I totally get the same way about potentially missing so I feel ya!
Wendy - Hope you start to get into the plyo legs more. I didn't think I'd enjoy them, but then ended up really liking them.
Nora - HI!

Good morning, ladies....
Great job on MIS Belinda! That is a great FB workout.
Enjoy your day off with your husband, Heather. Have you noticed any form/shape changes in your legs and hips with all the spin you've been doing? Just wondering what (if any) the effects have been.
Yeah, Chris, I enjoyed yesterdays plyo. I think I was so excited to do Cathe's plyo, that maybe the first week was a let down for some reason. Like I said, probably me. The second week (yesterday) was just so much better. I think because my eating has been better lately. I was just in a happier place, ya know? We're almost done with STS! It's your second time, though, right?
Roxie, I really like the CTX series. Great for when you're tight on time and very enjoyable I think - have fun with that!
Debbie! Good to hear from you. Glad your Christmas was great. Yeah, I can imagine doing a lot of pullups and pushups can be mentally fatiguing after a while. Hey - did you see that my DH and I got a little ride in the other day?!? Super fabulous! Felt so good, but cold. So it was a short ride.
Okay, I work the next couple of days. I need to get the last disc of week 2 Meso 3 done because we're going away for a couple of days over New Years.
Enjoy your day, and I'll try to check back later....

Belinda - Nice going on MIS! I remember that one being one tough workout.
Roxie - CTX is fun, I like all the cardio workouts in this series. Same with the weight training parts of it. Have fun! It's easy to catch on to.
Chris - I wouldn't say it's boring, I really loved it the first few weeks. But it gets annoying to do the same stuff over and over again. Yes, you can progress with these workouts by doing more reps or upping the weights, but it still gets annoying. STS wins by a landslide.
Heather - Have fun at spin class!!
Wendy - Cool on the ride. It's been way too cold here to ride, although I seen someone on a bike yesterday and it was only 28 degrees. Now that is crazy!!!

Reporting back. Spin was good, it was a short, intense class. I did do some assisted pullups (determined to do pullups by golly) and abs as well.
Wendy - I haven't noticed any changes. If/when, I expect they'll be in the outer sweeps of my quads. When DH was going to spin all the time about a year ago, that's where I could see the definition. Right now I am realizing that I've sort of not been focused on legs and it shows.

Checking in -
I did disc 30 today. I had a really good workout. Feeling strong and was able to up my weights as pre-determined.
I'm supposed to get my Shock cardio tomorrow, but I'll be at work in the evening when the UPS guys usually makes his rounds out this way.
All right....nighty night...
