Hi girls!
I guess I'll start off with checking in then go to personals.
Here's today's workout:
STS Cardio: HiiT-30/30=30 minutes
Calories burned= 369
This was my first try at HiiT since its supposed to be the easiest of the three. I really loved it and felt so invigorated afterwards. Now,that's not to say I wasn't sweatting like crazy and struggling to catch my breath because I definitely was. This was very intense but was short for a workout. I was so glad of that at the end thinking no way I could do that for 40 minutes to an hour, I'd need paramedics and oxygen if that were the case LOL!!! I really loved this workout and can't wait to try 40/20 HiiT but I recall Cathe said not to do them two days back to back. So, maybe this weekend or next week. Good stuff once again from our Cathe!!
and
P90X Yoga= 60 of 90 min
Calories burned= 246
Still not loving YogaX but trying. I can't struggle with twisting and balancing poses now that I have MS. In my case MS has effected my balance and coordination on the right side of my body and my vision in my right eye. I used to have a dancer's type balance and flexibility even though I'm not. I was able to prior to MS to do all the balancing poses and twisting poses and even the advanced versions of those, not now so its so tough and I fall a lot if I try because of my now iffy balance. So, I do what I can but I feel that Yoga X doesn't modify nearly enough and is way too long I mean come on 90 minutes for all levels, not possible at least not for me. Now, I will say I really love the StretchX dvd from P90X, its great. I like to switch doing YogaX with one of my other yoga workouts that does stress lots of modifications and is shorter in length time wise or just do StretchX.
Total calories burned= 615
Debbie- I love StrikeZone and I agree with you I think its a blast and Josef is awesome as a real martial artist and demonstrates great form. The Cardio Kickbox Challenge is great too, I've previewed it all and hope to do it this weekend. It looks like so much fun and intense, I love that! I'm so glad your not having anymore pain in your hamstrings or glutes, that's so awesome!
Heather- Great job on your workout at home. WTG, that you were able to increase on your weights. You should give yourself a big pat on the back. I know that increasing the weights even a pound makes a big difference to me and I can feel it, so 1.5 pound increase is very impressive. Great job!!!
Chris- MMA Boxing is awesome and I know SJP abs are great too. I hope you have fun with your workout today, it does sound like a really fun one. Ooh, on finding a dishwasher at sears and a nice discounts, I hope you get a great deal. FYI, I just replaced my dishwasher recently and I found it at Home Depot, it was a lot cheaper and they had free delivery. Not sure if that's the case where you are but though I'd pass that along.
Roxie- I haven't tried any of Ellen Barrett's new workouts. I really like her older ones for pilates, she's great on those. Have a fun workout Roxie!
Heather- No, I haven't gotten around to trying Step Moves yet, but I've heard that it will remind you of Rhythmic Step, which I love but need more pratice with. I did try Athletic step and loved that, we've done the steps from this one before but not put together this way, that sort of threw me off a bit. My muscles have memory and kept wanting to do it differently. Nice to know something of mine has a great memory!
It does look like a lot of fun from the preview but will probably take me a half dozen times to get it down, unless I surprise myself but I wouldn't bet on that. LOL!! Have fun with that one Heather!
I did my first HiiT workout today 30/30 and loved it! Now I'm chomping at the bit to try 40/20 HiiT. I like really tough workouts that challenge you and make you sweat and feel like OMG, will I survive this!!! Yes, I'm crazy that way!
Wendy- Waves hello!! I can tell you're enjoying Shock Cardio workouts, awesome! They are fun and lots of great variety definitely plateau and boredom busters for sure. I'm currently on day 4 of week 7 of P90X, so far so good and I even bought P90X Plus to do after and to rotate in with P90X but only after I've completed round 1 of it as it is first.
Ok girls, that's it for me today. I hope you all had a great workout today and are feeling great. Seeya at tomorrow's check in.
Hugs!!
Nora
