Today was Legs and Calves and I had an ok workout. My right knee was really bothering me so I was really careful with these exercises. It's feeling ok right now. I'm afraid one of these days I'll need surgery on it. I probably should get it looked at at least.

2 minutes rest between each set except only enough rest to lower weights for the 15 repper sets.

LEGS:
Squats - 65#/12 reps - 2 sets (warmup)
Squats - 125#/6 reps - 3 sets
Squats - 95#/15 reps
***Went up 5# with both the 6 and 15 rep sets.

Leg Press Station - 200#/6 reps - 3 sets
Leg Press Station - 150#/15 reps
***Went up 5# with the 6 and 15 rep set. Love this station, I'm so glad I got it. Money well spent!

Leg Extensions - 95#/6 reps - 3 sets
Leg Extensions - 70#/15 reps
***Went up 5# for both the 6 and 15 rep sets. Was a little worried about this exercise but it seems the pushing motions hurt worse then the extensions.

Elevated Deadlifts - 105#/6 reps - 3 sets
***Went up 5#. Felt like I could have done about 3 more reps. Again, I'm shocked I'm up this high with deads.

Lying Leg Curls - 60#/6 reps - 3 set
Lying Leg Curls - 45#/15 reps
***Up 3# with the 6 rep set and 2# for the 15 rep set.

CALVES:
Gym Style Calf Raises
***Didn't feel like doing barbell calf raises, plus I always get way sore with GS.

Did the stretch from GS Legs as well.

That is all....

Nice work ladies

Just a quick Hi, I will try to get back for personals later

Yesterday I did the 40 min premix from Tracey's Cardio Kickbox Challenge. I really like that workout but they don't seem to keep on beat. It was very distracting yesterday Today will be a HIIT and a TRX inservice at the gym I will be teaching at....ttyl

This morning was another push to get the workout in before leaving. I did I Max Extreme 74 min, 573 calories max HR was 162. I took allergy meds last night and my ears were ringing this morning. Was hard feeling like doing anything. Lots of running today.

Roselyn, I thought I posted back. Sorry I really like the cookies. My dh liked them too and has been eating them. They remind me of the Muscle Chow muscle bombs.

Good morning -

Roselyn - Great workout. You and Diane Sue have me thinking about the cookies now. I probably should make some for DS - sounds like they're good.

Debbie - Nice job today (especially considering your knee was bothering you). I'll bet it is really nice to have the leg press. I don't know that I've seen home units before - not in this area, for sure; we don't even have a proper sporting goods store. GS calves is quite something Good way to finish

Theresa - I really like that workout too, but agree about it being off beat sometimes. I notice it most in the segment with the speed bag/cross jacks. Felt like it made that section harder to learn. I have days where things like that bother me more than others, no doubt. Good job though - and how exciting (about the inservice) .

Diane Sue - Your days have been extra busy, huh? That's quite a workout to tackle with ringing ears while not even feeling so much like working out at all Well done. I will remember you later -- I've been struggling to get in my workouts more the last several days, too. Sometimes it's definitely more of a push than others. Hope your day goes well

It got COLD last night (in the low teens). I am wearing long johns and THREE pairs of socks. My feet and hands suffer the most all winter. The rest of me is none too thrilled about the cold, either Yesterday, I did Insanity's Cardio Power and Resistance. In some ways, I really think the warm up is the hardest part for me (miss Cathe's side steps and reaching overhead - and her smile). I thought about doing a 'warm up' BEFORE the WARM UP and that really might not be a bad idea in the future. Today, I have legs scheduled and will try to go with that. Also some kb practice (just TGU's and windmills).

Hi Cheryl, Meaghan, Linda (where are you guys?) and Teddy and Hermia -- anyone else? Hope you all have a good morning.

Morning Ladies

This morning, I did, Low Max. This time, around, I did soooo much better; I was able to keep my body tighter then the first time while doing each routine and blasts. Tonight, I plan to do floor work GS legs and MIS abs.

Theresa: Sorry it took so long I went back looking for cookie recipe and seen that you asked me a question. I really like almond milk, my smoothie is perfect. The Vanilla Soy is a bit sweeter My all time favorite is Coconut milk OMG, I love it
BBL for personals

Happy Thursday!

Sorry I have been MIA for the past week.....just super busy!! I have been trying to get my workouts in, however, and have been doing pretty well with that. The bad eating is another story.... Yesterday I started High Step Challenge and my DVD player died at around 37 min.....ARGH!! I didn't have my portable DVD player charged, so I just walked in place and did some "fill in" exercises. Today I did Imax 2 for cardio (on the little portable DVD player), and I actually had a great workout. I guess I will have to stick to the workouts I know for the next week until I get a new DVD player, since my portable player is soooo small!!

I will bbl for personals.

Ok.....I'm going to try to drop a line to everyone!

Teddygirl - Nice work on Low Max! I did that one last week.

Lori - I can't believe it's so cold there already!!!! OMG....you must be freezing. I guess I should feel bad about complaining about the 30's last week. This week it has been beautiful - 60-70 during the day and 50's at night. Also, I agree with you on Insanity....don't like the so called "warm up" at all, and I always did my own extended warm up. I will send some warm weather and sunshine your way!

Diane Sue - It sounds like you are having a crazy busy week also! I hope you get some time to relax soon.

Debbie - Nice workout today, even considering your knee.....which is such a bummer! I think you need a week at the spa to get you all fixed up!

Roselyn - Nice workout!

I am still working like a madwoman at the new house, and hopefully will be able to actually `move` in about 2-3 weeks. I still have some floors to refinish, electric work, and some plumbing. I did call for a price on a mirror for my ENTIRE wall in the workout room, which is going to cost around $400, but I was able to justify the cost with DH because I have done almost ALL of the work on our new house. Two weeks ago he got a big job and really has not been able to help - AT ALL! I gutted the entire basement (water problems), which consisted of ripping down old paneling and framing and carrying all of that gross stuff upstairs into a dumpster. I also stripped wallpaper from 3 rooms, finished, spackled and painted the entire kitchen, 2 bedrooms, livingroom and dining room, as well as stripping and refinishing hardwood floors in every room (except for the workout room - still have that on the agenda). I had some help, but moved wires and rewired most of the house as well as moved/replaced plumbing to the entire bathroom and kitchen. Whew.......just typing that made me tired!!! LOL. All of this has been accomplished since October 1st, and almost all of the work I did myself. Of course, I forgot to mention the ten thousand trips to Home Depot or Lowes because I seem to always run out of something or just need something else.......sorry to ramble, but I just wanted to share my adventure.

Have a great day and I'll try to post when I can.

Cheryl
