Damage Control November :)

Hi Ladies,

Today was Disc 5, Back & Triceps followed by KPC. It sure was fun doing KPC, funny how it all just comes back to me after all this time. I used my 1lb gloves too! Then I decided to tack on the Ab section from LLA (Lean Legs & Abs-new release) which I haven't done yet.

Tomorrow may be a forced rest day unless I get up uber early. I'm also missing my class as we have Jerod's football banquet and he will be receiving his letter. He's super excited about that. Not sure how I will handle the banquet with my cleanse. I did prepare something to take with me. They are having catered BBQ, definitely not cleanse friendly food.

I had PT for my knee on Friday. The therapist isn't exactly sure what the issue is, but gave me some exercises to work on this week. He said there is a lot of swelling that it's hard to diagnose. The first step is to get the swelling down.

Wendy-GG is Cathe's Great Glutes from her latest release. The circuit w/o's really seem to be helping with my weight loss, especially since I can't run right now. What's the scoop with Zuzka's gym. Do you do the w/o's on your own, are they live and you do them together? Just wondering if it's worth the money. Foam rolling...I do that too. btw, DH is just having some meals here and there...and always says "this would be really good with "X", where x is not on the cleanse. It's a little annoying to be honest.

TG-nice job on disc 1....and a run too!!

Laura-how did you spend your weekend?

bbl
 
Forced rest day for me today. I was awake in the middle of the night and therefore didn't want to get up this morning. I am working tonight so I can't do anything later. Booh. :(

Diana:: TY for the GG clarification! Back and Tri's followed by KPC with weighted gloves sounds awesome! Way to work those body parts! :) Z-Gym work outs are real-time if you want to follow along. I prefer to print out the work out (there's a written run down of each work out along with the video), review the exercises and then do it on my own though.

BBL!:cool:

Here's what I did this morning, Ladies....:eek::eek::eek:

The Covet Workout : @LovingFit.com

This routine is divided into 3 parts. All 3 parts are High Intensity Interval Training. Before each part there is a set of weighted jump lunges with an overhead press. So you will complete 3 rounds of these bad boys by the end of your workout.

Part one
  • Weighted Jump Lunges with Overhead Press – 20 reps ( each jump counts as one rep ) - I changed this to 10 rear lunges with single DB contralateral shoulder press per leg. No jumping.
Interval Training Part

Set your timer
1
for 2 intervals, 7 seconds ( rest interval ) and 38 seconds ( max effort interval ) for the total of 6 rounds. There is only one exercise and you will switch sides every interval.
  • Weighted Diagonal Squat Lunge - I did split stance squats.
Part 2
  • One more set of Jump Lunges – 20 reps - I changed this to 10 rear lunges with single DB contralateral shoulder press per leg. No jumping.
Interval Training Part

Your timer
1
stays the same. There are 2 exercises and you will go through them for the total of 3 rounds each.
  • Jump Over Push-Up - I skipped a lot of the push ups and mostly just did the jump overs.
  • S&M Push -Off
Part 3
  • One more set of Jump Lunges – 20 reps - I changed this to 10 rear lunges with single DB contralateral shoulder press per leg. No jumping.
Interval Training Part

Your timer
1
stays the same. There is only one but very grilling exercise and you will repeat it for the total of – you guest it

6 rounds.
  • Surfer Burpee aka Surfee ( I thought it was a very cool name for that exercise )
 
Hi Ladies,

We had a good time at Jerod's football banquet. It's bittersweet knowing this is the last one of these we will ever attend. It was a rough season for him but I'm glad he stuck he out. This weekend are touring the Colorado School of Mines, Division II school. One of my nieces is a Sr. there and plays on their soccer team. It's a very expensive school $30,000/yr. Hopefully he will get some scholarship money to help out this exhorbinant cost. Maybe he will decide he doesn't like it and pick a less expensive college!

This morning I did the BR Challenge Day 29 w/o....a little out of sequence, but it was legs. Only one more of the BR w/o's to go to finish up the October Challenge. I've really enjoyed all these w/o's and would like to keep up with this type of training. I'm not ready to bail on STS yet...but may in another week or so.

Wendy-Thanks for sharing your w/o...I may give that a try tomorrow! Love the "Surfee"!!;) I haven't been on her site for a while. She got into kettlebells and was only doing that for a while. I love my kettlebells, but I like to change it up now and then.

Laura-what a great w/o you came up with! You go girl!! Your so funny....my training partner says she can't run without her ipod either. I prefer to have it, but I can definitely run without it.

TG-hope you are feeling better. Sorry about your court date, ugh...really, they PO PO come to give you a ticket while you are in the ER, how insensitive.

DH got our garage doors ordered and they will be installed on Saturday!

Hey Ladies! :)

This morning after a long warm up that included TGU's, Storks, Single Leg Squats and Kneeling SB Roll Outs, I did Max Capacity Trainer Week 4 Day 11 which looked like this::

16@10/50 of Diamond Push ups, Wall Squats, Side Tri Rise, Mountain Climbers.

Tmrw's plan is a little HC and some mix and match app fun. :D

Diana:: I am surprised that you are loving the ZWOW/BR/LF style of training more and more and actually considering stopping STS early this time around in favor of the others! You were always a very traditional heavy lifter! Congrats to your DS on his FB accomplishments and my fingers are crossed that he gets into whatever college w/whatever scholarship you want him to! ;) I haven't looked at LF in a while prior to y'day so I had no idea she was heavy into bells for a while. I'll have to take a look at those work outs! Thanks for the heads up! :)

Laura:: Fantastic workouts! Wow, I am getting everyone on the "Z & Friends" bandwagon around here!:D

TG:: Sorry you are having to deal with a !@#$?! cop concerning your accident. Nice work outs!

BBL!:cool:

I used to spend my days running away from luncheons and breakfast spreads and cookies and cakes and candies and donuts and well, you get the picture. :eek:

Hi Diana and TG!

BBL!:cool:
 
Hi Ladies,

Been MIA because I had an early meeting at work on Wednesday and took yesterday and today off work to paint one of the upstairs bathrooms that is long overdue.

Wed/Thurs were rest days, unless you count painting yesterday. I just finished STS Disc 7, CSB and will be putting a second coat on the bathroom today. I also bought new towel bars and tp holder, outlet covers etc. Unfortunately, I haven't come across a new light bar that I like yet.

Tomorrow Jerod and I are visiting the school he wants to attend...the most expensive one. DH is staying home so he can be here for the installation of our new garage doors.

bbl for personals...after I finish painting.
 
Morning Guys:D

Started workout with one of Cathe's throwback workouts lol I did Imax 2 and back and biceps from 4DS series. Have a wonderful day all I'm cleaning my house today top to bottom argh............:rolleyes:
 
Good Morning!:)

So Saturday was a rest day. I just kinda ran out of time to workout. :(

Y'day though I did Zgym power yoga #1 and MCT wk 4 day 12 (16@10/50 of 180 degree squat jumps, in and outs, jump kicks and dive bombers). :)

This morning is going to be an attempt at doing my newest HC 101 in full I think. Wish me luck!:eek:

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
