Hi Debbie and Gang!
I hope everyone had a great workout today. Debbie, take it easy with the leg work if it makes you dizzy. I know what that's like I have that with MS it mess with me when I get to hot and overheated. I have to be careful as it also can effect my balance.
Ok, todays workout
I did iTread= 20 min
Distance= 1.75 miles
Calories Burned=273
BPM-135-140 15 min @80-85% of my max HR
BPM-145-155 3min @ 90% of my max HR
I was happy that I was jogging at a fast pace for me at 5.8 mph @ 10% grade. Then I did a challenge sprint for the last 3 minutes at 4% grade @6.6mph. That was a short but intense one. I still prefer Cardio Coach. You just can't substitute for Coach Sean and the great music and the happy euphoric feeling afterward.
On to....
STS Mesocycle 1 Disc 3 Legs
Oh man this is a great leg workout. It seems to go by fast and its definitely a challenge. I had trouble with the following exercises from that: One Leg Touch Down Squats, I had a tough time with my balance on those. Its something that I'll definitely need to work on. Wall squats with ball and hand wts. This was tough not going down to the floor but getting up with wts in hands. Again, a balance issue for me. One Leg Slide Back Lunges w/paper plates and DB was really hard for me my balance was a bit wobbly today and this was extremely hard. I did finish them but it wasn't pretty.
The bonus at the end was great, I really liked those. Overall, this was a really fun fast moving leg workout. It definitely was challenging but doable. I found that my trouble spots all had to do with my balance being a bit subpar. My MS has effected my balance and its really only noticeable when I get overheated or workout and there are exercises that have balance challenges. I don't mind I know this is an area to work on, so I do.
Then just to round out the workout I did STS Ab Circuits- Med Ball Abs= 10 min, very effective and love these.
Phew! I made it through STS Mesocycle 1 wk 1 Yeah!!!! And congrats to everyone else doing STS~!
Hugs!
