Crazy Strong and Loving It for Jun 6, 2009

[bayerngirl]

Hi and good morning,

I am not sure if I will take a rest day (Cathe has one scheduled for today?) Or do a workout today? I see how I feel after my coffee. Right now it’s raining outside, so no walking for me at this moment.


I will be back later! Enjoy your weekend!

Hi Belinda!

I'm not sure what I'll do today- we have a family reunion to go to so I may do something later when we get home. Or it may be a rest day and I'll do something tomorrow. I start Cathe's June rotation on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Today was supersetting Legs. This is my last workout for the 4 weeks and I've decided to do another 4 weeks. I will come up with different exercises and supersets. I am enjoying this one.

Had an excellent workout. I added an additional set to each superset.

8 minute warmup on treadmill.

45 second rest between supersets.

QUADS/HAMSTRINGS
SS #1
Squats: 80# - 8/8/8/8
superset w/
Elevated SLDL's: 75# - 8/8/8/8
***My hips and low back were really tight here. Had a hard time going to parellel with the squats.

SS #2
Leg Press Station: 170# - 10/10/10/10
superset w/
Hamstring Curls: 45# - 10/10/10/10
***Good superset. I like this one. Hamstrings felt fine with the hamstring curls. They must be getting better finally.

QUADS/CALVES
SS #3
Leg Extensions: 85# - 12/12/12/12
superset w/
Barbell Calf Raises: 130# - 12/12/12/12
***Calf raises about killed me. Could have gone heavier with the leg extensions but my right knee was bothering me.

That is all....

Good morning. I did Imax 2 this morning. This is one of my favorite Cathe workouts and I haven't done it in ages so I was happy to see it on the rotation! I was sweating buckets which is a great way to start the weekend. Went to Panera afterwards and celebrated with a whole grain bagel. There goes my cheat for the weekend.

Have a good weekend.

Hey Everyone..

I did Intervals 6-10 of IMAX 2 and then Med Ball Abs. It was kind of cool having more energy for those intervals than I usually do when they fall on the second half of the workout! Fun!

Off to do CleanMax!

Checking in -

Today became an unexpected rest day. After work, my girls, grammy and I met to see a play. It was 3 HOURS LONG! REALLY!?!? The movie wasn't even that long!
It was, however, a lovely afternoon. I am tired. Enjoy your weekend, ladies!

Good evening ladies~

I'm here, but really late with the check in.

Here's my workout for today:

Jillian Michaels-iFit Card-Lose Wt= Level 2, Week 2, Program 3= 30 minutes.

Distance= 2.67 miles
Calories burned= 411
This was a bit of power walking then jogging. 2.5-6.0 MPH incline from 1% to 6%.
BPM's= 135,141,143,148,151,152,154,155=75% to 87% of My max heart rate in the zone.

Jillian Michael's is definitely a tough trainer!


Muscle Max= 68 minutes
Calories burned= 528

I did notice that after doing STS that I have no problem lifting what Cathe and the gang did. I even had to go heavier on some of them. I'm happy about that because I could not use the weights they did in Muscle Max always having to go much lighter. But, I'm happy to report post STS that I can do the weights they are in Muscle Max infact I can now go heavier thanks to strength gained from STS. Thanks Cathe and STS!!!


That's it for me today! I'm scheduled to do some yoga tomorrow so, I'll be checking tomorrow with that. Have a great weekend!

Hugs~
