Good morning!!
I worked a soccer game Tuesday so no workout. Wednesday's was X62 from X10. So you both are members of Zgym, I would love to join you, but I'm afraid I don't have the technology required.
Katie: Thanks for the well wishes & prayers. They decided to do it Friday instead, so I guess we won't know untill next week. Wow, I call Cathe a "Petit Powerhouse", I think that name fits you as well!! I haven't lifted really heavy in a while, I was thinking about doing STS, maybe not the whole rotation. Since I haven't sold it yet, I might as well use it. You're taking a break from Cathe & I'm going back to her. When I first started working out consistantly I used the Firm only. When they got too easy, I went to Cathe exclusively. I only started branching out in 2010.
Wendy: You buy apps like I buy dvds!! I just bought HC vol1. I chose that one because it uses a body bar. I have one that came with a Firm workout I bought years ago.

Hello beauties!
I enjoyed a great workout yesterday at CrossFit. We started with On The Minute (OTM) x 12 - (a) Odd - 200 meter row and (b) Even - 15 hollow rocks. I hope that makes sense! Basically on the odd minute we would row 200 meters (which usually took most of the minute) and on the even minute we would do 15 hollow rocks (which take about 45 seconds, so we got an extra 15 second rest) and we did this for 12 minutes total. After that, we did AMRAP for 10 minutes of (i) 6 hand-stand pushups; (ii) 9 box jumps (20 inch box) and (iii) 40 jump ropes. I'm not sure how many rounds I completed, but I'm thinking it was 5 (or close thereto). After I got home I went on a 1 mile jog with my puppy dog. I wasn't planning on running yesterday, but my dog was dying to get outside for a bit and I just couldn't say no.
Wendy: Two excellent workouts, I see. Great job lady!! I reviewed Z-Shred 18 yesterday and it looks killer! I've added it to my calendar for next week and i'm looking forward to it. No DOMS after all those pushups? Goodness woman you are a beast!!!! I'm very impressed. My plan is to start Z-Shred workouts on Sunday. 6 weeks without Cathe is going to painful I know. I'll have to add in a Cathe workout here and there just to satisfy my addiction.
Wiggie: Oops we posted at the same time! How was X62?? I've only been brave enough to do like X48. I fear I might keel over if I try to do more! Ooohhh I kind of like the name "Petite Powerhouse". I'm definitely short, so at least 1/2 of the name fits. I'm still working on the powerhouse part. I have HC Volume 1, too! I've only done it one time. Would you have any interest in doing a HC virtual class? We could all do our HC workouts on the same day. If so, just name the day!!

Good morning!
I didn't have my best CrossFit workout yesterday. We started with a High Hang Squat Clean + Jerk. I used a 45# barbell and went shallow on the "squat". I'm not sure how many reps I did...maybe 6-8. We were really practicing form and technique. After that, everyone else did front squats but those really hurt my hip flexors so I did 6x5 of pushups and sit-ups (alternating). After that, we did a 7 minute AMRAP of (i) Cleans - 45# barbell and (ii) Toes to bar - which I can't do yet so I just swung my legs towards my armpits. We started with 3 reps of each exercise and each round we added 3 more (so 3 reps, 6 reps, 9 reps, etc.). I got up to 15 reps for each exercise. Overall, I didn't feel like I got that great of a workout. Oh well! They can't all be perfect.
I'm running the Black Cat Chase (5k) tonight. It's going to be coooold. I haven't actually run that far in awhile, so who knows how the IT band is going to hold up. But i'm going to give it my best shot!

Hey Ladies!
I had a leetle too much fun last night at the tricky tray so I slept in too late to get in a work out this morning. I admit to being a wee bit hung over but mostly just exhausted!
That didn't stop me though coz I got it done tonight instead! Here's what I did::
ZWow # 88---> (15 min AMRAP of 50 body weight squats {I did 40 because I added the *10 band rows to the work out}, 10 plank to push ups, *10 band rows, 10 jump squat-flying burpees & 10 side plank leg lifts per side)
plus
Gorilla Level 2 Work Out #7---> ( 3 rounds of 30 squat thrusts, 15 supermans & 5 pull ups which I am not embarrassed to say that I modified)

Happy Saturday!!
The Black Cat Chase 5k last night was a success! I ran it in 32.24. I thought it was a personal record, but I realized this afternoon I ran the same race last year in 32.11. Oh well. I could have pushed my pace a little more but I stayed with my sister for this first mile. I hated to leave her.
This morning I did Z-Shred 11, which was a 500 rep workout. It was my first workout from Z-Gym. I pulled a Wendy and modified it a bit because (a) my legs are sore from last night and (b) my hip flexors still aren't healed. Anyway, here's what I did: 100 seconds jumping rope, 100 tuck jumps, 100 pushups (Z did 100 squat jumps), 100 situps (Z did 100 mountain climbers), and 100 burpees. Those burpees about took me out. Geez they were hard!! I thought about quitting a few times, but I didn't. And, I did them right - chest to the ground each time, jump at the end each time. Points for me!
Wendy: Excellent workout last night! I'm impressed you snuck it in. When i'm hungover I rarely get out of bed, LOL! But i'm a wee bit of a baby when it comes to feeling yucky. The fact that you can do ANY kind of pullup, even modified, is impressive! Most of the people on this planet can't do any sort of pull-up. I'm proud of ya!

Hello!!
Thursday's workout was the Kidney Walk, Friday's was Pump & Shred follwed by 100 swings. Saturday's was Great Glutes & Sunday's was HC vol 1 then later FlexTrain. I also washed & waxed my car.
Katie: Congrats on your 5K, I think you did great, just think about what your time would have been if your hip flexors weren't giving you grief!! Wow what a workout!! I don't think I could do 100 burpees, esp not after all those other 100 rep exercises! X62 kicked butt!! Loved it! A virtual HC class sounds great, how about Tuesday or Thursday?
Wendy: Nothing wrong with having a leetle too much fun every now & then, keeps life interesting!! & you still managed to workout, impressive!

Morning.
I posted y'day but my internet connection got interrupted before I could hit submit and I lost it.
So I survived my 90 min "boxing for boobies" class y'day morning and I am sooo sore today! I figured that I would be though! I want to do my MCT work out but IDK if it's worth it... I think I might wait until tmrw...
Katie:: Nice work on the Z work out!!! So how'd you like it??? My modified pull ups are actually inverted rows since I no longer have a pull up bar and really don't feel a need to get another one. Works for me though! Awesome job on the 5k! You are really mixing things up lately! Are you feeling ok??
Wiggie:: Nice work outs! Still swingin' I see! Awesome! I probably have a leetle too much fun a leetle to often. Oh well. You only live once!

Hello!!
Yesterday was my rest day (and boy did I need it) and today i'm going to CrossFit after work. I'll report the workout tomorrow.
Wiggie: How did the Kidney Walk go?? You did several killer workouts this past weekend. Great job! Was this your first time doing Flex Train? I can't remember, lol! I haven't done FT in its entirety, but the bits I did I enjoyed. Can we try next week for a virtual HC class? My nephews are staying with me for several nights this week and i'm not sure how that is going to affect my workout schedule. I've never had both boys overnight for several days/nights at a time. I'm nervous!
Wendy: Way to "kick" some butt on Saturday during your boxing for boobies class! I love that name, BTW. I LOVED my Z workout. It was different trying to follow along on my Ipad and working out without music but I think I will quickly adjust. Heck, by the time I got to those burpees I was just trying not to die and music was the last thing on my mind. Haha, yeah, i'm really trying to mix things up. Something has got to give, and i'm hoping it's my jiggly stomach real soon.

Good morning.
I had a nice CrossFit workout yesterday. We started with a combo of 1 squat clean + 2 jerks. I did that combo 5 times with a 55# barbell. I'm still not squatting very deep because of my hip flexors, but the fact that I can squat at all is an improvement over a few weeks ago. Speaking of squats, after the clean/jerk combo we moved on to back squats. Again, I was keeping my weight lighter than normal so I used a 75# barbell and did 6 sets of 2 reps (6x2) with a three second hold at the bottom of each squat. Finally, we did the following:
21 thrusters (35# barbell)
800 meter run
15 thrusters (same)
400 meter run
9 thrusters (same)
200 meter run
Overall, I was pleased and my legs/butt are sore today, so that makes me happy.
Wendy: Way to rock it out this morning! You did quite a few reps I see. Great job!!!!!

Katie:: Gotta love sore gams n bums! Great job on your CF work out! Glad you enjoyed Z-Wow enough to even be able to get past the no music factor! You can always play your own though. I'm really loving the Max Capacity Trainer app btw. Today was 16 mins of pure azz whoopin'!!! The app doesn't include weights btw (it's all bodyweight) so I add them in myself as I see fit and it's awesome!

Hi ladies!
I didn't sleep well last night so I took a rest day today. Yesterday's workout consisted of CrossFit after work. We started with 50 butt kicks and 50 high knees. After that, we did 4x2 slow deadlifts (125# barbell) and 5x3 fast deadlifts (75# barbell). I probably could have gone slightly heavier during both deadlift sequences. But that's okay. We finished up with 5 rounds of the following: 15 pull-ups; 20 kettlebell swings (25#); 20 wall balls (14#). This was hard!!
Wendy: My bum is really sore today. I'm glad I took a rest day. I love body-weight workouts. I think tomorrow or Friday i'm going to do a Z-Wow body weight workout. Maybe number 91?!?! It's only 15 minutes, but looks killer.

Hello Ladies!!
I apologize for my non-consistant appearances lately. As you know DH is sick & recovery is slow, which means I have to do everything right now & sometimes I'm just tired. That being said, I refuse to get slack on my workouts. They really do help with my stress & energy level. So when I'm not around that's why.
Ok enough of that, on to my workouts, Monday was Fire 30, Tuesday was Lean Legs & Abs + 50 swings, I actually did the premix that adds the Bonus Barre & skips the abs so I guess I just did Lean Legs. Wednesday I did Upper Body Endurance from Pretty Fierce Lean Out + jump rope during the rests, one of the many systems I purchased this year. Speaking of purchases, I went shopping at JC Penny's during lunch & bought two dresses, size 6 & 4. The size 4 actually fit looser than the 6.
Katie: Did you sleep any better last night? Starting the day tired reeeally makes for a long day. Congrats on the sore bum, mine was sore when I did GG one day & HC the next. Hmmn, I need to keep that in mind. I like body weight workouts too, when you're pushed for time it helps that there is no set up required. The Kidney Walk went well, it was just so short!! I wanted to run it, or try to, but I ended up staying with the group. That was my 2nd time doing FlexTrain, I really like it alot. I like all my new Cathe's, which is unusual, there is always a couple I don't like. The only one I haven't done is Greatest Hits. How is the sleepover going? RE the HC class, just let me know.
Wendy: I hate when I have a nice long post & it gets lost. The rewrite is nevers as long. Great job on Boxing for Boobies, that's too cute!! So glad that you are enjoying your new apps, as you know I still prefer dvds. Maybe one day I'll convert, but not today!!

Happy Friday!!
Thursday's workout was from Michael Olajide's System of Sleek. Burn, which is 10 minutes of mostly jump roping. I did it twice, chased by the Express workout which is 21 minutes of boxing. Fast & intricate drills, but really fun.
Hope you Ladies have a great weekend.

Happy Friday!!!!
At CrossFit yesterday we started with 50 butt kicks and 50 high knees (+ stretches). After that, we did 1RM back squats. I only got up to 105# and i'm still not getting deep enough because of my hip flexors. Will they EVER HEAL?!?!?!?!?! Anyway, following the back squats we did 5x5 squat snatches. I find this to be one of the hardest exercises (and the one that caused me to injure my hip flexors in the first place) so I only used a 15# barbell. Finally, we did 100 burpees interspersed with 5 toes-to-bar (T2B) on the minute. To break it down, we started doing the burpees and then every minute we stopped the burpees, immediately did 5 T2Bs, and then immediately went back to doing burpees. Does that make sense? It took me approximately 12 minutes to complete. My CrossFit coach recommended most people do 50-75 burpees, but there was no way I was going to wimp out and not do all 100. That's the Cathlete in me coming out!
This morning I did Z-Wow #91 which was a 15 minute, AMRAP of the following: 20 jumping squat lunges; 10 sliding pushups; 20 switch ups on chair; and 10 kick-through pushups. I completed 4 rounds + 10 squat lunges. After that, I did medicine ball abs (see I told you I would sneak in my Cathe) and then I went on a short, 1/2 mile walk with my puppy dog. Short, sweet, done!
Wendy: Which HC DVD did you get?? I know you have Bootcamp, but you got another one, right? I LOVE the look of Z-Shred #13 and I've already put it on my calendar for next week!! I'm still not able to do double unders but my sister is getting me a special jump rope for Christmas that is supposed to help. We will see!
Wiggie: No worries girlie. You check in when you can. No pressure!!! We completely understand. HIGH FIVE on those awesome dress sizes!! Your hard work is definitely paying off. Speaking of hard work, nice job keeping up with your workouts this week despite everything going on in your life. You're a superhero in my book.
Sorry for the short personals but I've got a new employee starting today so I have to go train. Have a great weekend, ladies!!!

This morning I did Z-Wow #91 which was a 15 minute, AMRAP of the following: 20 jumping squat lunges; 10 sliding pushups; 20 switch ups on chair; and 10 kick-through pushups. I completed 4 rounds + 10 squat lunges. After that, I did medicine ball abs (see I told you I would sneak in my Cathe) and then I went on a short, 1/2 mile walk with my puppy dog. Short, sweet, done!
Wendy: Which HC DVD did you get?? I know you have Bootcamp, but you got another one, right? I LOVE the look of Z-Shred #13 and I've already put it on my calendar for next week!! I'm still not able to do double unders but my sister is getting me a special jump rope for Christmas that is supposed to help. We will see!
Wiggie: No worries girlie. You check in when you can. No pressure!!! We completely understand. HIGH FIVE on those awesome dress sizes!! Your hard work is definitely paying off. Speaking of hard work, nice job keeping up with your workouts this week despite everything going on in your life. You're a superhero in my book.
Sorry for the short personals but I've got a new employee starting today so I have to go train. Have a great weekend, ladies!!!

Hello Ladies.
TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So this morning's work out was a "warm up" (HAH!) with Horizontal Conditioning Oct 1 volume's 1st segment of upper body and core (all of 5ish mins long on the stability balll but KILLER!)
This was followed immediately by MCT Week 2/ Day 5::
Decline Push Ups, Bird Dogs, Weighted Squat Pulses, Supermans all done for 8 rounds each at 20 w and 10 r (16 min total).
I WAS DRIPPING SWEAT and WORKING HARD! Not bad for a 21 min work out!!!
Katie:: Sorry about your continued hip flexor issues but it sounds like you got a great work out anyway! Just be careful! Yes, the HC work out I did this morning is my 2nd HC purchase and it's actually part of a "club program" where you get a new dvd each month! I must be out of my freakin' mind! They are less then $15 w/shipping though and you can cancel any time. They are also short - 15 to 20 mins long - much more to my liking and ability then HC BC right now!
Wiggie:: Just reading about all of that jump rope you did is making calves hurt again! Prayers and get well wishes are being sent DH's way and strength is being sent your way to keep up with the extra load you must carry! (((HUGS)))

Good Morning Ladies.
Yesterday's workout was short but intense. I made it up myself...
Started with my usual warm up and then added some reps of exercises that my boss at the studio wants me to do to get down pat so they will be easier to explain to clients. 1) single leg squats 2) DB storks 3) KB get ups. From there I did 3 tabata circuits...all were 8@10/20. First two were single arm swings and burpees (including push up and jump). Last one was reverse slider lunges and slider mountain climbers. I think the last one was the hardest! I actually to wanted to try doing it a second time despite the pain (lol) but I had no more time left.
Today's plan is some combo of Z, HC and MCT.
BBL with the details!
