CRAZY STRONG & LOVING IT FOR NOV 22, 2010

[bayerngirl]

Hallo and good morning,

Today starts my recovery week! Not sure, what workout I will do today, I know I will do soemthing! I am afraid to take a recovery/rest week, since Thanksgiving is this week No time to slow down!


I will be back to report my workout!

Happy Monday!

 

[hriacobacci]

Hi ladies - not totally sure what I'm going to do today. Trying to pay attention to the weather to see when I'll be able to run this week and trying to plan around that. Though no running for me today. I need to rest the legs from running. I put in 21 miles between Friday and Sunday alone.

I definitely will do chest and abs today at lunch. After work I'll either go with boxing or kickboxing or LIC cardio only premix (probably just the 3 combos).

While I'm not happy it's Monday - it's a short week at least!!!

Morning ladies! THANK GOD for the short week, I would be a total bear if not. I hate Monday's. BUT this Monday marked the start of Meso 2 for me and dammmmn it got me good this morning. I swear I already have DOMS hahaha. Chest was literally VIBRATING once I was done, haha. Love STS!! I followed that with some of the abs and stretching from Core Fusion but didn't have time to do the whole thing. Great workout today. Wee!

Heather - GOOD girl for admitting you should probably pare back on the running after putting in all those miles this weekend. Remember - ya gotta build in added recovery as you up your mileage or you'll end up injured. But you knew I'd tell you that. ;-)

Belinda - enjoy the recovery week! You'll be fine even though it's Thanksgiving week - its just one day where you'll end up eating more/differently than normal. You'll be just fine!

Hi to Debbie, Roxie, Nora, Chris, and Melissa!

 

[jsutera]

And PS - forgot to tell you ladies! I ran for the first time in almost three weeks on Saturday! And it was glorious! Knees are on the mend at last, woo hoo!!

Hallo Heather and all that follows,

Heather - hope you had a nice b-day yesterday. BTW, awesome run! Holy crap, that's a lot of miles! Stay off your feet, girl Have fun with your UB work later.

Jess - you and I posted at the some time! Yeah, on the run! Glad your knees feeling better.

I just finished High Reps, got a nice burn in my triceps & abs! Weights were light! I did like the lunges with the plates, felt those in my glutes. Really liked those a lot. Cathe never done those moves before, really fun and they burn!

I know, it's my recovery week. Just couldn't help myself

Have a great day, everyone!

SS #1
Barbell Bench Press - 85#/8 reps - 3 sets

I don't blame you though, sounds like an awesome one! Can't wait to try it!

Jess I really couldn't help myself this afternoon You will like it, it's almost like PH. Cathe uses old and new moves (mostly with the plates)! The ab section is a burner!

 

[Roxie 1965]

Good Morning,

It is a recovery week for me to but I want to get some wt work in this week due to the holidays. Tonite will be TF 30 Class, Stretch 10 and some abs.

Belinda-I am thinking of buying the download of that one sounds like a good one. Take a rest week would you.

Debbie-awesome job on your workout.

Jess-yea about the knee being better.

Heather-holy crap on those runs.

 

[Boingo1]

Hi Everyone!

Today I started my last week of Meso 2. It FLEW by! Loved it!! I did Disc 22, which is Chest Shoulders and Triceps. Afterwards I did TF 30 Class, due to over the top eating yesterday .

Nice workouts everyone so far! Belinda, that workout sounds great! can't wait to get them this week. Though I think I really want to finish out STS for another month before I do the weights. But will def hit the cardios!!

Sorry so short, I have a bunch to do today and time is ticking!

BBL

Belinda - Try to enjoy your recovery week. It should be a complete week with no workouts. But I understand what you mean about it being Thanksgiving week and all. Anyways, High Reps - isn't that one of the new workouts? You got yours already??? I'm hoping to get mine this week then. Too cool!!! Can't wait to try the ab section!

Heather - WOW! 21 miles this weekend!? Incredible. Very nice job. It's raining here today, but in the upper 60's. It feels like spring outside.

Jess - Excellent workout today! I love STS too. I'll need to do that again before spring hits. And I'm so glad to hear you got to run this weekend! Glad the knee is behaving!

Roxie - Hope you have a good workout tonight! Still no morning workouts, huh?

Chris - WOW! Already heading to Meso 3. Unreal how fast the time goes. Nice workout today!

Anyone see the movie "Splice"? Wow, wierd movie but a good one.

Also, have a song question:

I heard a very old song on the radio last week, one from either the late 70's or early 80's. I think the title is "Lucy and Ramona" or it's "Sunset Sam", but I've searched both titles and can't find the song. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Do you know the artist??

Debbie-no I still can't get up in the mornings but I am going to work on it real hard this week. The song wasn't Lucy in the sky with diamonds was it?

 

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Debbie-no I still can't get up in the mornings but I am going to work on it real hard this week. The song wasn't Lucy in the sky with diamonds was it?

LOL, no. That's a Beatles song. This one was a weird song, like a one hit wonder.

Nevermind, I found it. The title is "Cruisin'" and its by Michael Nesmith. Would have never guessed that one!

 

[hriacobacci]

Belinda - I would have likely tried the workout too regardless of rest week. It's like getting new toys to play with.

Jessica - love that description of chest vibrating!

Roxie - hope you enjoy your workout tonight.

Debbie - sounds like you're loving the shorter weight sessions.

Chris - nice workouts today!

Waves to Melissa and Nora!!!

I made a last minute decision to start STS again today. I am going to break up the muscle groups though for shorter weight sessions. Today was M1D1 and I did chest and biceps. I will do shoulders tomorrow. Love breaking this one up and LOVED the workout again. Holy freaking pushups! I forgot about all the crazy rep patterns for everything too so my biceps are beyond freaking fried.

I definitely went heavier than I should have on some things b/c I didn't have time to go back and check the weights from the first round. I'll do that tonight before diving into the rest of the workouts. Oh and I must brag that I didn't have to go to my knees for any of those dang pushups like I did the first round.

Push Ups - Standard
Push Up Wide
Push Ups - Standard
Barbell Curl - (I used dumbbells b/c I don't have bb) - 15's
Incline Chest Flys (dumbbell) - 20's (should have started with 21)
Incline Curl Alternating & Rotate at Top (dumbbell) - 16's
Decline Pushups
Standing Quarter Stop Curls Both Arms (dumbbell) - 15's
Prone Pushups on Stability Ball
Seated Concentration Curls 1.5\'s (dumbbell) - 14's
Straddle Pushups
Seated Curls Alternating + Both Arms (dumbbell) - 13's
Chest Flys (Flat Bench) (dumbbell) - 20's
Preacher Curl on Stability Ball One Arm (dumbbell) - 13's
Core Pushups - boot camp style
Reverse Dumbbell Curl - 12's
Staggered Pushups
Barbell Curl Wide Grip - 13's

My arms are trembling.

Can anyone explain to me why your nose runs when you have a migraine headache?

 

[hriacobacci]

Roxie - that's interesting. I don't think mine does that. I wonder if it's an allergen that is triggering yours?

Heather-more like TTOM, of course I had 2 dogs in my house all weekend that shed.

YAY for re-joining the STS train, Heather!

Hi girls!

Despite having a workout injury today I had a great day. I checked online to see if my pre-order for Cathe's four new dvds' had shipped and I wasn't able to tell if it had shipped yet So, I told myself be patient maybe check back later today or tomorrow. Later, I left to go pick up my son from school and there on my door step was a package from cathe I didn't even get to stalk the ups guy. He was here magically like santa and I didn't even see or hear him. Also, I had ordered the Power Tower at amazon and got it delivered Friday! I'm tickled pink that was my christmas present from DH. I twisted my ankle today doing 4DS- HIS. That always seems to be an eminent threat to my ankles with that workout for some reason. Oh well.

Here's today's workout:

4DS Split Cardio + Weights: HIS in its entirety= 59 Min
Calories burned= 657
Met Value= 7.50
I was able to do most of the step portion before I twisted my ankle, I couldn't do step now if my life depended on it. It hurts to put weight on it I can but its not fun. I think I'll ice it tonight.


Core Max- Tough Core Premix= 18 Min
Met Value= 5.0
Calories burned= 123

Total calories burned today= 780

That's it for me just now. I'll try to come back for personals later but I don't know if I'll be able to as per my ankle.

Have good night girls! Great work today!


Hugs!

Nora
