Teddy-nice workout this a.m. And best of luck w/ WW, I hope you like it. I have been "loosely" following it for 2.5 weeks and I have lost 3 lbs. I don't feel too hungry; I think it has done a great job of making me aware of my portions.....I must have lost that somewhere ;)

Yesterday I did Element Yoga for Flexibility and foam rolling. My trap is almost completely relaxed and I feel human again :D I just have to make a very conscious effort to work on flexibility. I have a 2.5 hour inservice today at the gym. I hope you ladies have a great weekend.

Today was cardio , I did Cathe's Hiit, the first two workouts and then did a TF Hiit 30. Nice workout Teddy, good luck with WW my sister did great on that.
 
Got on the scale this morning and lost 3# this week! I'm sure most of it was water weight, but I'm still happy to be below 140#.

This was my last workout for this rotation. Next week is my recovery week but I will do cardio 3 times next week. I reached my goal of three times this week so I'm happy about that too!

Today was Superset Shoulders and I had a great workout.

WARMUP:
1 minute rest between each set
Dumbbell Military Press - 15's/12 reps - 2 sets

SHOULDERS/TRAPS:
1 min. 30 second rest between each superset

SS #1
Barbell Overhead Press - 57#/8 reps - 3 sets
ss w/
Lateral Raise - 13's/15 reps - 3 sets

SS #2
Upright Rows - 52#/10 reps - 3 sets
ss w/
Bent Over Lateral Raise - 16's/12 reps - 3 sets
***BOLR should have been at 17's but I ran out of magnets. :rofl:

SS #3
Hammer Hold Front Raise - 13's/12 reps - 3 sets
ss w/
Dumbbell Shrugs - 45#/20 reps - 3 sets

Had about 20 extra minutes so I jumped on my bike and peddled my ass off. I did 5.25 miles and the bike said I burned 115 calories. I think it was a bit more but I'm ok with this. 115 calories isn't bad for 20 minutes.

Next week one of my cardio workouts will be doing a Cardio Coach on the bike. Looking forward to it!

:eek: Did I just say that?

Have a great day everyone!!!

Theresa - Congrats on the 3# loss! We both lost the same this week! Lets keep it up! :D
 
Debbie,

Do you have a new rotation in mind after your rest week and what are you doing that you lost 3 lbs, any pointers for that after the holiday thing:)
 
This morning I did Lower Body Blast premix no floor work timesaver. 50 minutes 332 calories. I upped the weights again some. Then I did budokon strength and balance with no meditation settings 33 min 168 calories. I really liked this one too. I also went over the dancing dog prep and floating frog tutorials. Workout was 83 minutes and calories burned was 500. Better calorie burn today and I wasn't killing myself with high intensity cardio. I also got more sleep and started later. I need to go to some heavy lower rep work again for awhile. Thinking out the 4 point rep exercises on the dvd that came with my select tech weights. The instruction looks pretty good on it for form pointers.
I am headed out to do some shopping and lunch at Cool Greens with dd and children.

Teddy, nice job on the workouts yesterday and today. You are back into it:D

Debbie, enjoy the recovery week. Good job reaching your cardio goals. Congrats on the weight loss. I am avoiding the scale right now. Just trying to clean up the eating.

Roselyn that is a long Hiit workout. Maniac style:D

Theresa, I am glad weight watchers is working for you. It is easy to let portion sizes get out of control. I am glad your shoulder is getting back to normal.
 
Good Morning -

Teddy - That was a great workout. You seem to be right back into it and going strong :)

Theresa - That is A LOT of good news. It sounds like things are really coming together for you. I forgot about your question re: Pavel's book. Fast and Loose is one he cross references (is that the one you mentioned?), along with 4 or 5 other titles. That title is on my list, too (Fast and Loose). Relax Into Stretch is still a very good book by itself. He has some interesting discussions about his take on flexibility and its strength component (unique in some ways). He also talks a lot about breathing methods. One of his techniques involves "outsmarting" the myotatic reflex and/or overriding the Golgi Tendon Organ (such a funny name - sounds like a Star Trek villian :confused: ). These are more aggressive - painful - and potentially risky, but effective if you're careful. It's based on PNF and I think physical therapists use this approach sometimes. "Waiting out the tension" is his other approach and has some helpful stuff I've passed on to DS. A lot of good info and he's funny - pretty dry wit - so it's fun to read. I hope you enjoy your inservice today and way to go on all your successes :)

Debbie - Good workout and good going! You've got the New Year off to a great start :) Looking forward to hearing how you like Cardio Coach on your bike.

Roselyn - I agree with Diane Sue - Maniac :) .

Diane Sue - Excellent workout. The Budokon set has become one of my favorite workout series. It makes me happy to hear you are liking it. I re-watch the tutorials (usually between workouts) pretty often. Even on the simpler moves there are so many fine points and, I don't know - they're just ... interesting. I really enjoyed my last run through Meso 3. I like training heavy - it's a different feel and a good one. I've heard you talk about your new stuff, but I'm not sure what the 4 point rep exercises are. Anyway. Whatever you come up with will be good, no doubt. Hope you have fun with dd and the little ones :)

Cheryl - Thinking about you. Hope you are ok :)

Hermia - HI :)

Yesterday, I did 3 tabata rounds (a minute rest in between) on my trainer (bike). I also did shoulders (Slow and Heavy/Slow Mo mix). Really enjoyed that workout. I do not know about today. I'm trying not to go nuts, but I find limiting my training like this to be tough in a lot of ways. This reminds me: I also did some Gymboss timed stretches - about 15 minutes (ode to Theresa - and my T.F.L. - really trying to be more vigilent about that). I guess I'll do biceps and perhaps try the High Rep warm up. If my leg feels ok with that, I may try the squat segment. My Yoga Zone vid is a pretty good one - I may do that tonight.

Have a great weekend everyone -
