GOOD MORNING,

My plan for today is: Insanity "Plyometric Cardio Circuit":)
I will be back later to catch up with personals!

My best to all.
 
Today was cardio and I wanted to a premix from Rapid Fire. This is one fun workout DVD. Lots of premixes so I chose the Shadow Boxing, Heavy Bag and Medicine Ball Core premix. It was really fun. I haven't done the heavy bag section yet so that was new for me today. It was really cool and I want a heavy bag. I just did it kicking and punching the air. Still got a great workout.

There is also a standing core section in this workout that I'll have to try soon. I watched a little of it today and it looks fun.

CARDIO & ABS STATS:
55 minutes total
11 minutes below zone
26 minutes in zone
19 minutes above zone
406 calories burned
 
Holy DOMS city over here ladies! STS got me GOOOOD last night, which I feel like I've been saying after EVERY STS workout lately!! It is so good though, I can't believe how fast I'm plowing through M2! I'm already on week 3 which is mind-boggling! Today's leg workout was awesome, not too many lunges which tend to bug my knee a bit so I was glad for that. I'm aiming for Core Fusion tonight since I didn't have time for it this AM. :)

Nora - THANK you for such sweet comments on my new job! You are so great!! And WTG on your STS full body challenge! I am DYING to try that one!! I might add it to the mix on Friday of this week, I am soooo antsy to give it a shot! holy calorie burn, very impressive as usual!!

Debbie - I LOVE standing ab work, you'll hafta let me know how it is!

Belinda -how is Intensity compared to some of Cathe's crazy cardio workouts? I'm curious.

Hi to Heather, Roxie, Chris and Melissa!
 
Hi ladies - today should be biceps and abs for me at lunch. Not sure on the cardio. Not really thinking I want to do the elliptical again today.

Ok, I think I have been screwing up the double wave loads for STS. I just pulled the cards and haven't been watching the DVDs. I haven't been increasing the weights for the sets. I thought she kept the same weights - is it just on the double loads that she increases weights? May start over....crap.

Oh, and have to vent for 2 seconds. Got in and first email - random drug testing. Seriously????
 
Aw, yeah on the double-wave loads, she goes up 5% each time, but only on those sets, not the others. I'm sure it's fine - you're feeling the effects of the workout regardless so I doubt you need to do it over, unless you just WANT to, haha.

PS. Random drug test?? cmon!!

Jessica - yes, have DOMS, guess it's sad that I am that sore and didn't even do the dang thing right. Geez. I know, I am sooooo freaking annoyed. It's cold out, I don't want to walk back out to my car and spend however long it takes doing this stupid testing. Makes you feel guilty somehow too. So stupid.

Ugh you actually have to leave to take the test?? I guess I didn't put two and two together there, duh!! That is SO ANNOYING!!!
 
Jessica - yep, and the closest facility is about 15 mins away. It'd be less annoying if I could just go freaking pee in a cup on site

Good Morning,

I am not sure what I am going to do today DD and her DH want us to go out and eat with them but they don't know what time yet if it is at 6pm then I have time go home and do a quick step routine probably basic step with one set of risers if its earlier then I brought my hr monitor to work with me and I will run the steps here.

Debbie-glad to hear you enjoyed your cardio.

Belinda-good job with your workout.

Heather-you are to funny I wouldn't start over.

Jess-you are also funny glad to hear STS is being good to you. One of these days I will make that investment.

Nora-nice calorie burn last night.
 
Hi Everyone!

Didn't stop in yesterday due to my crunched time on Mondays. But I started Week #1 of MESO 3! Disc 25, which was Chest & Back. I was leary about liking Meso 3, having a little dread working up to it. BUT, I liked it alot! (the rests are kind of long, and I will need to get used to them again). I liked it because it's heavy, it's to the point (no extra reps, no change in rep pattern, no change in weights). basic moves with HEAVY weights. I have some decent DOMS in my chest this morning AND back (which I rarely get).

Today I did Premix #5 from KPC, Combos 1 +2 and then the drills. I added on Turbo Fire's Core 10 (ouch!).

Belinda: So you're combining Insanity and Debbie's weight workouts? Sounds lke a killer combo!

Debbie: That sounds like a great workout today! I bought a heavy bag at a tag sale this summer. And I've yet to use it! :eek:

Jessica: Congrats on the job!! That's awesome!! ... I know I'd probably enjoy a run outside, but getting myself OUT there is a problem. Ugh!

Heather: Nice workout yesterday, and as long as you get the DOMS, I'd say it was a good workout, and move on! .. Why are they random drug testing you? Because you look like you take steroids , you're in such great shape? ;) What a PIA!!

Roxie: Nice ab and push up work yesterday! Hope you get in your step before dinner!!

Nora: I've yet to do High Reps OR STS Total Body. I'm jealous too! It sounds like a great workout!!

*Hi* to Melissa!!!
 
Back from drug testing and workout. I decided that since I had to be out driving on my own gas money, I may as well stop into Michael's (craft store) and Bed Bath and Beyond as they were right by the clinic :p

Today was biceps from M2D18, drop sets 12,10,8,TF

Curls (DBs) 17's (up 1# and TF=6)
Seated alt. curls 17's (up 1# and TF=8)
Concentration curls 16's (up 1# and TF=6 and these were freaking killer)

I did abs from High Reps wearing weighted gloves. Awesome!

I have decided to go back up to the gym after work for 30 mins on the elliptical. I just can't do the boxing one more time. I don't want to end up hating it.

Chris - LOL, it's just policy on the random thing. You get an email and have to go before 4:30 that same day.

Hope everyone is having a good day and staying warm!!!
 
Well, I legit could throw-up right now. I just gave my notice and my boss was literally stunned into silence. I feel guilty even though I know I shouldn't. I had to do what was right for me above all else, right?? Someone tell me that's true!!!
 
Jessica - you KNOW that's true. You have been so unhappy for far too long. It takes such a toll on you mentally and physically. You must do what is right for you!!

I know, I know. But I hate, hate, hate that I'm feeling like a total jerk because of it. UGHHHHH.
 
Heather: Good for YOU for doing some shopping too!!!

Jessica: I can only imagine how you feel/felt giving your notice. Just keep thinking about how your job has made you physically ill. And imagine going to a job you REALLY like and look forward to!!!!!
 
Good Afternoon,

We are not going to supper until 7pm so I will have plenty of time to get a workout in.

Jess-do not feel quilty you have been miserable there if they would have treated you right you wouldn't have went looking for a new job.
 
Ahh thank you so much ladies, REALLY needing that today. They are making me feel AWFUL and are even trying to get me to stay on until MID January. Um really???

Jess-stay strong and stick to your guns. Its not fair to ask your new employer to wait that long. I can't believe they would ask that of you.
 
Roxie - enjoy your workout AND your dinner out!
