Morning all - I am the first post! day 2 of Debbie's rotation - I am not able to lift to failure because I don't have a rack and today - I can't put on shoes so I was somewhat limited. Here is how I did

Legs

Squat - 6/6/10/12/12 - BB 65# / 65/60/55/55
Lunge - 6/6/10/12/12 - BB with weighted vest - 60/69/64/54/54
curl - on ball to failure
Abs
crunch - 35
reverse crunch 35
Calves
DB calf raise 10s 12/12
body weight calf raise - 24

That was it for today. My upper body is sore from yesterday chest and triceps workout - and my WRISTS are very sore.

I am totally clueless how I am going to get cardio in without being able to put on shoes. I may have to get the bike out. My heel is still very raw and sore.

Have a great day everyone.

Debbie - thank you for sending that rotation. I think I can stick to it. I need to go out and buy a bench though. I think I may get one this weekend.

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Ms. Pussycat is about to sabotage my message in a few. Anyhow, the hike yesterday ended up with a walk around the big lake instead...which was very very nice. We ate at my favorite restaurant for lunch which makes really good healthy sandwiches. We had turkey swiss bacon on whole grain..no fast food crap. lmao. Oh, and I did my ab ripper x before dinner.

Today is a Leg workout. I think I am still on the 4th week of this. I will have to see as I am alittle behind from sickness and whatnot.

Replying from yesterday's post:

Bionics,

The leaves will not change until about the 3rd week of October here. For now, it is pretty seeing them a few blow around here and there. Was thinking of getting some mums, but they never last very long and just seem like a waste of money to buy a plant that last about 1 month or so. I think I will get some pumpkins though in a few weeks. Still need to make pumpkin pie with my canned pumpkin.

This month's cardio is 70% of my MHR. That is around 136 bpm. I did a Cardio Coach mix and just followed it and not going balls to the wall. My stupid HRM isn't working for some reason. I changed the battary last week and it hasn't been right since. It stayed at 60 bpm for the first 15 minutes of the workout and I finally just took it off because it pissed me off. What the heck is up with these HRM??? I have another battary so I'll try it before I use it again. Yeesh!

Anyways, no cardio stats but the treadmill showed this:

46 minutes
300 calories burned
2.8 miles travelled

I had a good workout regardless.

Just caught up on yesterday's checkin. Thanks for the congrats on my bike test! I'm so glad it's over!!!

You all had some excellent workouts.

Ally - I'm excited that you are doing this rotation. Try to stick with the barbell for this months workout. Dumbbells are next month.

I got my workout finished and then went to get started on those immunizations for traveling to Kosovo and around Europe this summer. Got both of the first hepatitis A and B shots. She hit a vessel or something on the first one and it swelled way up into a hard knot. This mornings workout was Rumble stopping at the stretch, then I did Hi/Lo Ko combo and ko #1 and abs, then Step Challenge 3 abs #1 & #2, Core Blast standing med ball abs and stability ball abs, finished with Rumble stretch. I burned 638 calories doing rumble and the Hi/Lo knockout segment. Total calories burned today was 919 and 50% fat.

Afternoon Maniacs,

Just returned from the funeral so I am feeling pretty drained. It was a beautiful service though. My cousin was very involved in the Fire Company and at the cemetary after the minister spoke they came over the Fire Truck radio saying "Robert A. Haugen Sr. has answered his last alarm". There wasn't a dry eye to be found anywhere.

Anyway this morning was Amy's ASC 3. I wanted to do it all the way thru, but kids got up and interrupted me, so I finish through # & 4 combined then jumped to the power ups. That was the first time I tried those. Thanks to DianeSue I knew enough to lower my step for the jumps!

PebbleSus, my workout was without a break this morning. I worked out for 2 1/2 hours. The stretch from Rumble is 12 minutes of that. Sometimes I get higher calories than that in less time. Just depends on what I am doing.

Linda, I think it works much better doing those power ups with no risers. For some reason the turns and jumps seem easier than just jumping across for me. They sure do get the hr up

I'm not sure if today really counts as a workout...maybe half. I went running with a guy I've just started seeing, but it couldn't have been much over a mile. It was a nice area to run, though.
