CRAZY STRONG & LOVING IT FOR MARCH 2, 2011

Today was cardio and I chose Cardio Coach Press Play. I did all but the last challenge. My inner thigh started bugging me again, I had to slow way down towards the end. Gotta get that foam roller out again. I also need to stretch this week. Haven't had a chance to yet.

CARDIO STATS:
58 minutes total
5 minutes below zone
11 minutes in zone
43 minutes above zone
487 calories burned
3 miles travelled


Heather - I didn't have time yesterday to do personals but wanted to answer your question about this rotation. I thought of doing that exact thing, doing weeks 1-4 twice through and then the last 4 weeks only once. I think that's a great idea. Yes, the first 4 weeks is building, the last 4 weeks is cutting. I think it would work out good to do what you were thinking. I might do that after my recovery week. I want to do this rotation again.
 
Yesterday was a gorgeous day and I got in a really fantastic 4.5 mile run. It was supposed to be 2 miles + 4 1:00 intervals. But I really needed to blow off steam and it felt so great to be out so I did 2 miles + intervals + 2 miles. I really could have just kept on trucking.

Today I will hit the gym for chest, shoulders, tris, abs. But it's going to be hard as it's another gorgeous day. Gotta do myself a favor and save the legs for Sunday's race though.

Debbie - thanks for your thoughts. I think that's exactly what I'm going to do! Very excited about getting back to a regular weight routine next week. Good job with your cardio. Did the kitty behave any better last night???

Belinda - sounds like you had a nice run yesterday. Hope you had a good weight session today!

Nora - awesome job as always :D

Roxie - Looks like a good workout - how do you like EB?

Waves to Chris & Jessica!!!!!
 
Good Morning,

Tonite for me is EBs Burn and Firm Pilates. I can feel last nights workout in my legs.

Belinda-good job with your workout.

Debbie-nice job with your workout. Get that stretch done.

Heather-I like EBs workouts because they are low impact and they use pilates type moves so you really focus on your core and breathing.
 
Hi ladies! I'm behind, as usual, on the forum chatter, I am so sorry! I feel like all the days are running together on me lately for some reason. And when I get home at night, it's like the few hours I have to catch up FLY by after a long day. How sad, right??

I chose to sleep a little bit this morning so I have to rally tonight to get some dreadmill work done tonight. Planning on my favorite intervals tonight, it's the only thing that gets me through the dreaded 'mill!

I'll be back later for personals I hope - sorry for being so lax on that!!

:)Hi girls!

Ok, I just finished doing personals and lost it, so this is take 2.

I have just say that this is not a good day for me. My MS is rearing its ugly head today for some reason. I got dizzy and my balance was super shakey and it got worse after my workout I could barely walk without being able to stabilize my balance on something. Needless to say my DH got me a cane to help for days when I'm wobbly. I don't always feel this way but there are definitely days when I could benefit from the use of a cane. Ok, anywhoo you ladies are impressive as usual with your kickbutt workouts I see.

Debbie- Bravo on CCPP!:cool: That's so great, bummer about the soreness though in that one area that can be a problem for you on occasion. Yes, definitely break out the foam roller and work out that tightness, or maybe some Karen Voight stretching. Please take care, maybe a nice epsom salt bath would be great on those sore and tight muscles. Just a thought, please take care and have good night. Excellent workout with CCPP, you go girl!;):cool:

Heather- Wow, so the race is coming up soon. You'll nail it with all the hard work and diligent preparation you've put into it. Just visualize yourself running the best race and time of your life, and you've got the training behind you to back you up on that. Love the training runs your doing with intervals etc... You are doing such an awesome job, keep on with the excellent work and you go girl on race day! I'll be cheering for you in spirit all the way from Albany, Oregon.;):):cool: Great workout!:)

Roxie- Nice workout with Ellen Barrett, yes the lower impact with pillates or yoga is a nice way to mix it up and take a break from the other stuff. I'm glad your enjoying Ellen Barrett's workouts, great stuff!;)

Belinda- Wow, girl you did a kickin' workout today. WTG!!! Awesome work there girlfriend!:);):cool:

Jessica- No worries. I understand about not doing personals as much as you have. I know I'm guilty of that lately. You're busy and have a lot going on in your world. Oh, how's that precious baby doing? I love babies, so cute! Good luck to you on your training and race as well. I see Heather is going to be in a race this weekend, not sure when yours is but good luck whenever it is. Oh and I wanted to say I did order CF, starting with the same 2 dvd's you did, but they aren't here yet, can't wait. I did order a TRX like suspension training system here's the link http://secure.monkeybargym.com/jungle-gym-xt-0 its called the Jungle Gym XT, it costs way less than TRX. I did get Lauren Brooks Volume 3 kettlebell workout that has some TRX workout in there as well. If you are interested in getting a TRX type system for home and wanted to know about dvds for it I'd suggest fitnessanywhere.com for just TRX type of workouts only. Please take care and don't forget we're thinking of you. Hugs!;)

That's it for me tonight. Hugs to everyone!;):)

Nora
