CRAZY STRONG AND LOVING IT FOR JULY 9, 2010

[bayerngirl]

Good morning,

SORRY, I have no time for personals. My son is keeping me busy with home cooking. By the time I am done in the kitchen, I am to tired for anything else. It's still around 96/98', with no AC! I didn't do my workout until 7:30 pm, it;s to hot during the day. I almost skipped it, glad I didn't.

I did the wrong workout anyway The rotation called for Shock Cardio… Circuit Blast (Cardio Only Premix) Plus Heavy Bag Bonus Workout (Total time 42 min)! I did SC Cardio Core Circiut " cardio only" 43 min. plus Heavy Bag Bonus workout. I ended up doing cardio for 60 min. insted of 43 min. I read the rotation wrong

You gugs rock your workouts. Keep it up!

Today is M1 D12 (legs)!

I will be back to report my workout. I will take my son shopping later. Not sure when I will be back. Oh, he is staying unitl Aug 28

Just a quick stop for me right now. I have to take 2 of my boys to the dentist for cleanings and then since we're close by, the bank, and the library. And THEN I'll come home and do my workout. Which is going to be FIRE 45 EZ Class (my first time with this one) and hopefully can sqeeze in 4DS Bi's and Back!

Probably not nice to say in Cathe forums, but I do not miss Cathe's cardio at all since starting Turbo Fire. Is that bad?

BBL!

Nicely done Belinda!

I did some weights from 4DS (tris/bis) before going to Ride at my gym at 6 am, to squeeze in a bit more weight work since I missed some from being away for the holiday weekend.

have a great weekend all!

I am very happy to be done with my workouts today. I get to leave at 2 so I feel like it's almost a mini-vacation now!

Belinda - good job with the weights. No worries about personals. Just enjoy the time with your son.

Chris - I think it's awesome you've found new cardio. I'm very jealous

Jo - Nicely done this morning!

Hi Roxie, Jessica, Melissa, Nora, and Debbie!!

Ladies!! Sorry I'm in a rush this AM so no time for personals - trying to get a project done I've been procrastinating on at work. BOO! Looks like some great workouts in here (NICE Heather on getting out early today too!!) so far!
I was supposed to get up and do weights before Ride at 6 but my shoulder is killing me for some reason so I slept an extra half hour and just did Ride. I figure I'll need to hit the weights hard again next week - this week was thrown off by being in Maine and stuff. Oh well - cardio-heavy week is ok for a change of pace too, right??

Catch up with ya'll later!!

Hi girls!

I think this is the latest I've ever checked in its almost 12 midnight my time in Oregon. I just finished my workout. I have to say that the temps in Oregon were again 100 degrees and its taking its toll on me. My legs feel like a pair of wet noodles because of the way MS and heat don't mix thing. Any ways, I made myself get it done. I always tell myself I have a workout to do today and there is no exceptions I still get it done. I had to wait until after 9 pm to start my workout because its been too freaking hot to even function lately. I'm sure you'll understand that its so late right now to please excuse me not doing personals today.

Here's Friday's workout:

Turbo Fire- Fire 55 EZ Class= 57 Min
Calories burned= 700
Met Value= 9.0

STS Disc 3 -M1-W1- Legs= 53 Min
Calories burned= 434
MET Value= 6

Total calories burned= 1,134

I have to say I still am loving Turbo Fire and STS! I did notice that doing STS Disc 3 legs that today doing deadlifts killed my low back. I was using
20 lb weights which was even on my workout card as my 60 percent of my 1 rep Max. I guess this was not a good day with the heat and all for me to do the leg workout, but I had to get it done. I did switch to a lighter weight of 15lbs that just made me feel like a failure, but it was easier on my back. I pretty much stuck with 15lbs and one time used 10lbs on all the rest of the leg exercises after that. I could not do the wall squats with weights, it hurt both my knees and back, so I skipped those. I feel like this was a really pathetic workout effort because I could really do much lifting because of my back and its pain and hate relationship with deadlifts. So, i did modify rather than quit the workout altogether so I guess thats something. I hate it when I know that wasn't my best workout effort that I could have given, but its what I had to work with today. Chalk it up too damn hot weather and my MS.

Ok, girls I'm truly wiped out now and need to rest, then show and go to bed if I can even sleep ( hopefully it will be cool enough). I hope you all had a great workout Friday and are keeping cool.

Hello's and Hugs to everyone!

Nora
