Crazy, Strong and Loving it for July 2014!!

Nothing for me today. Knee still hurts. I need to figure out what is going on. My first step is to go to Dick's and get some GOOD walking shoes. This all started when I bought cheap ass walking shoes at Wal Mart (should have known better) and then my DH and I did that 6 mile walk. Things went downhill after that. So that is my first step. If that doesn't work I'll go see my doctor.

So I am trying to give it a break and not walk until I get the shoes. I may do an upper body workout tomorrow just so I can get something in.
 
Good afternoon,

Walked the dogs this morning + SBF Barre3, 30 min + Quick Tabata Reset Target, 5 min.

Debbie - feel better soon.

Hi to everyone that checks in after me. I will be back tomorrow.
 
Hi girls!;)

No workout for me today. I spent three hours chatting with Microsoft trying to get help for my computer as to why it would not install 14 updates. I did get help which was great and it didn't cost me to do so. I was horrified to find out Windows 7 (which I have) is schedule to have ended mainstream support January 13, 2015. I will somehow have raise funds to get Windows 8 it is slates to end mainstream support in January 8, 2018. I will be back to workout tomorrow. I hope everyone has had great workouts and will have a blessed day.

Hugs, blessings, and healing prayers,;)

Good Evening,

I did KCM's TLC Boxing and it hurt my shin so I don't know what is going to help.

Nora-computers are a pain.

Belinda-good job with your workout.

Debbie-I hope new shoes help. I think I am going to a running store to see what is up.
 
Good morning,

I will walk the dogs this morning and do STS D21 (BB).

Nora - very frustrating dealing with computers.

Roxie - good job with your workout.

I will be back after my workouts. Have a great Friday, everyone.
 
Today I wanted to do something so I did STS Total Body but only did the Upper Body Premix. I love that workout and I had a great one. This is what I did:

Triset #1
Flat Bench Barbell Press - 50# - 16 reps
Chest Flyes - 20's - 16 reps
Overhead Tricep Extension - 25# - 12 reps (couldn't get to 16)
Repeat with 12 reps
(The Overhead Tricep Extensions were supposed to be Dips, but dips seem to irritate my shoulder so I just don't do them anymore.)

Burn Sets
Close Grip Pushups - 8 reps
Standard Pushups - 16 reps

Triset #2
Barbell Curls - 25# - 16 reps
One Arm Row - 25# - 16 reps
Standing Dumbbell Curls - 12's - 16 reps
Repeat with 12 reps
(The Barbell Curls were supposed to be Barbell Rows, but I don't think there is enough bicep work in this workout so I changed it. :) )

Burn Sets
T-Pull w/tubing - Tons of reps
Seated Tubing Curls - Tons of reps

Triset #3
Standing Overhead Press - 10's - 16 reps
Upright Rows - 25# - 16 reps
Lateral Raise - 5;s - 16 reps
Repeat with 12 reps

Burn Sets
Tube Rear Delt Row - Tons of reps

So I got new shoes yesterday. I found a store at one of our malls called "Shoe Department" and they had Saucony's for half the price Dick's would have had them for. I tried on three different ones and got the ones that were most supportive and comfortable. I have been wearing them since I got them and I already feel a difference in my knee. Not sure that is what caused this issue, but at least it seems to be helping.

I was thinking that the last leg workout I had was an excellent one but now I'm wondering if that Clamshell exercise is what did this. I remember having a real hard time doing those and getting the position right. I don't know. Hopefully the pain will be gone by Monday.

Hope you all have a great Friday and weekend!

Hi again,

More trouble with one of my sons this week. Ugh. It's never ending with him, it's a huge struggle to get him to make the right choices. But I won't stop trying.

I missed my workout Friday due to dealing with him. Yesterday I got back into it and did Xtrain Bi's and Tri's. Today I did Lean Legs and Abs.

work tonight...

Hope you all are enjoying your weekends!!
 
Hi girls!;)

I just finished the last day of Chalene Extreme this was round 2 for me. I did round 1 about 2 or 3 years ago not long after it came out. I think I need a week off to recover maybe do PiYo during recovery week something like that, we'll see. Anyways I will check in now.

Here's today's workout:

Chalean Extreme- Fat Burn Challenge = 33 Min
MV= 7.0
CB= 315

PiYo- Core= 30 Min
MV= 5.0
CB= 205

Total calories burned= 520;)

That's it for me today and I feel great I finished Chalean Extreme, that is a fun workout for me. I think I will take a week off maybe do PiYo for recovery workout or something. I do think I will then start back with Chalean Extreme and do another round.

To: Debbie, Chris, Roxie, and Belinda have a blessed Sunday and I'll check in tomorrow. See ya all then.;)

Hugs, blessings, and healing prayers;):cool:

Good Evening,

I didn't get a chance to check in yesterday DH and I went to the lake and as we were leaving our son-in-law and GS showed up which was a nice surprise. I did a 2.18 mile walk outside and KCM HGI Waistline nice ab workout. Today DH and I and DD her DH and GS went to the lake so no workout but I will do my planks.

Chris-sorry to hear you are having problems with your DS again.

Nora-good job with Chalene Extreme.
 
Today I did Burn Sets Chest, Back and Shoulders and had a great workout. Upped the weights on some exercises. With the first exercise for chest I used 35's for two sets and that really fatigued the muscles. I noticed even with my shoulder work I was struggling. I worked totally to failure on all exercises and went up in weight in some. I'm glad I'm not having much pain in my shoulder/upper back area. I know my limits. I think I almost pushed those limits a bit today but I feel great.

This is what I did:

CHEST
Dumbbell Chest Press - 35's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 30's 10 reps
Dumbbell Chest Fly - 25's - 3 sets 10 reps
Incline Dumbbell Chest Press - 30's - 3 sets 10 reps
Pushups - 16 reps (8 on toes, 8 on knees)

BACK
One Arm Row - 30# - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 11 reps
Double Arm Row - 20's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 11 reps
Rear Delt Fly - 12's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 14 reps (need to go up on these)
Supermans - Skipped

SHOULDERS
Dumbbell Overhead Press - 12's - 1 set 10 reps; 2 sets 9 reps (just couldn't do these today)
Single Arm Lateral Raise - 8# - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 12 reps
Single Arm Rear Delt Raise - 10# - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 14 reps (went up on these and they were still very easy for me. Not sure why? I am doing them right.
Scarecrows - 5# - 12 reps

Knee still bothering me. It felt great on Friday and then my dh and I went to a botanical garden Saturday and walked around quite a bit. It hasn't felt good since. At least I can sleep at night without pain now, so it must be getting a bit better.

Have great workouts everyone!
 
Good Evening,

I went for a 1.88 mile walk tried to run but my leg just wouldn't let me, I don't think its shin splints. I will do my planks.

Debbie-good job with your workout. Hope your knee gets better.

Belinda-good job with your workout.
 
Good morning,

I will do Tabatacise today. I preordered Cathe's new dvd's last night. Did you girls ordered the dvd's or downloads. Or both?

Roxie - great job yesterday.

Debbie - good job!

I will be back after my workout. Have a great day and workout.

No workout for me since it's a cardio day. Knee is getting better slowly so I don't want to push it. I miss my cardio and I really want to get on my treadmill. Hopefully at the end of this week or next.

Chris- I'm so sorry to hear you are having problems with your son again. I sure hope he pulls his head out. I'll say a prayer for him and for you. I know how hard that is.

Nice workouts everyone!!! :)
 
Good morning,

I didn't do Tabatacise today, I ended up doing JS Belly, Buns & Thights = 15 min + Fat Burning Cardio =30 min and 10 min abs. I didn't feel like doing a lot of high impact today. Maybe I will do one tabata workout later:eek: I have to see how long they are first?

I will be back later.
