Morning maniacs-
yesterday I did the Viper workout from the terminator dvd. Workout was 1 hr and 977 calories burned. Today, DH and I are going to a yoga class. Then I will try to do 20 HIIT after that.

Theresa - good grief. I have that DVD but have never tried it. Maybe I should :)

So now my triceps, biceps and every single muscle in my butt and legs is talking to me!!! Feels good.

Happy Friday - will be back to report whatever it is that I decide to do. I have been looking at some of the power yoga dvds (Mark Blanchard) and those look pretty neat. I just don't know if I would do one but it seems it would be nice for a different twist on the usual. I am really getting interested in the balance thing again, and Mindy Mylrea has a new BOSU workout that looks quite good.
 
Shana-
yeah, I was really dragging a** toward the end of that one. It's a cardio and weight step, 1 imax, and 3 muscle endurance weights...repeat 4 x's. I actually cut out a bit because I was gassed. I also ordered that new bosu wo w/ Mindy. I should get it today or tomorrow. I'll let you know what I think, I'm not sure if she is going to annoy me or not :)
 
Mindy has always bugged me. However, she looks so much better and seems less obtrusive and silly. I hope so anyway b/c I want that DVD. There is also another new DVD of hers called WORKOUT! Did you get that one?
 
I ordered two of her new ones (according to collage video). I got both of them b/c I have a bosu and hardly get to use it. Workout was the name of one of them....I can't remember the other.
 
Total Bosu Blast?

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Did my plyo's yesterday and today is Back/Biceps/Abs from the classic rotation of P90X. I have one more week after I am done with this and then recovery. I don't know if I want to do the full 12 weeks or not.

Diane Sue,

Yes, it is hard to send your child off to college, but he is ready now. I will have to check on him often though to make sure he is eating right, etc. My daughter bought some groceries for him before he left and bought alot of junk. I try not to fight with her cuz she loves to fight. Sometimes hard to talk to her. lol.

Shana,

Thanks for posting that calf raising workout. I know you mentioned it before.

Theresa,
Nice workout!!!
 
Today was STS Week 4, Disc 10, Chest, Shoulders & Biceps. Had a good workout but for some reason it was taking me forever to set up with each exercise.

Anyone notice that a lot of these segments are repeats from earlier Meso1 exercises? The warmups are always the same for each body part segments. LOL! And I notice repeats of what Cathe's says over and over again.

Have a great Friday everyone!!

Meals yesterday were not so great
post workout- homade granola bar(grandson and I made them from a childrens cookbook and I used Bear Naked Fit granola, Silver palate thick and rough oats, honey, some canola oil. Not too bad, just not good.
Breakfast-egg whites, protein powder, water cinnamon, stevia, and blueberries made into a pancake and topped with 1/4 cup cottage cheese
Lunch- 1/2 joseph's low carb pita with 1 can tuna
Dinner- way to tired for some reason. Cooked for dh and then didn't feel like anything else. I had a protein smoothie and bowl of left over asparagus veggie mix dumped into the other 1/2 pita bread

Debbie, I know what you mean about it taking awhile to set up. I hate when I don't have it set up right. Last time I sometimes used my ez curl bar for some of the exercises so I could have the weight set at a certain amount and not have to keep changing out the weights on my dumbbells and barbell. I ran out of room doing the walking lunges today. I should have opened the door and headed down the hall:D

Charlotte, our children seem to have their own idea. Eventually they turn around and think maybe we new something:)

Shana and Theresa, I have looked at those new Mindy BOSU workouts. I wondered if I would use them. I have a couple of hers here and I just never want to do them. The grandchildren loved her personality and wanted to workout with me when I used to do Awesome Strength. Her workouts can be tough and thorough though.

Yup Shana-
it's bosu total body blast. I just got them today.

Just got back from my deep stretch class. It was amazing. I am so friggin' tight in my neck and shoulder blades. I feel very relaxed, and I think I am going to take a nap :)
 
Theresa - I am going to place an order for them on a coupon that ends the 24th so if you get a chance to preview, let me know! Glad you had a good stretch :)
 
Hi Ladies,
I didn't workout on Wednesday cuz I was just in a bad mood and had a bad day. Thursday I did Legs and Glutes and the abs from Low Impact Circuit. For today, I went to the yoga class. I'm sticky and icky but no shower yet as the hot water is off in here...should be on soon, though.
I was looking at that Mindy dvd too, but I'd need a bosu! I've wanted one for a long time, but just haven't expended the loot yet.
 
ok-I previewed Mindy Mylrea's videos
1. Bosu total body blast-3 sections-1st cardio (unsure of length) on bosu, 2nd total body training on bosu (all body weight), 3rd bonus section with bosu ballast ball (can use med ball or stability ball) toning. Looks like a great way to get balance training. She is not very annoying to me in this one.

2. Workout!-This one has HIIT and then some total body sculpting with gliding discs (like Cathe's weights and plates abs-ouch!!!). It does not use the bosu very much at all, but has some intense looking cardio sections. It looks like a pretty solid workout.

The cons-neither of the dvd's have any premixes or mix and match. The workout! dvd let you pick exercises, but that was it.
I plan on trying the bosu total body blast tomorrow. It looks pretty good.

Hope that helps

Been at the beach all day, so just getting here.

This morning was Meso 2, Disc 18, Back & Biceps with a final backoff set dropping the weight by 40% and going to failure. Workout was 1 hour and I burned 336 calories. Then while DS was in school I went for a run using CCV7. It was suppose to be a walk, but Coach Sean gets to talking to me and next thing I know I am running!:p:p I did Challenge 1 & 2, but ran out of time for Challenge 3, but I was exhausted by that point anyway. Workout was 56 minutes and I burned 591 calories. Today's total is 927 calories burned.
