Another excellent full body workout. This one was really tough. I was really sweating by the time I was done. I only have one more total body workout before my recovery week. Looking forward to it. I think I'm going to do this rotation again after my recovery.

Did 3 sets/8 reps with each superset. 1 minute rest between each set.

SS #1
Incline Dumbbell Curls - 22's (no increase)
ss w/
Leg Press Station - 220# (up 20#)

SS #2
Stiff Leg Deads - 90# (up 5#)
ss w/
Barbell Military Press - 55# (up 5#)

SS #3
Incline Dumbbell Press - 37's (up 2#)
ss w/
Barbell Rows - 80# (up 5#)

Need to stretch. I did a little bit afterwards but not like I did the week before. Tomorrow I'm planning on yoga.

Roselyn - Yes, squats are ok, but mix up the exercises. I think there are squats and leg presses each week. So don't do squats twice in one week, find something else to do for quads. Hack squats are good, front squats are good. T-Bar rows are the ones Cathe does in Pure Strength back workout. If you have that DVD I think it's the first exercise she does on there (not sure though). I put the barbell in the corner of a wall, load up the other end with weight and pull the bar up. I have a t-bar handle for my bar, though, so it's easier for me to do. The ones Cathe does has no bar. You can also wrap the end of the bar with a towel and do it that way, I use to do it that way before I got my handle. EZ tricep extensions are tricep extensions using an EZ Curl bar. If you don't have one, use dumbbells or a bar. Are you liking this so far? Were you sore yesterday? Your weights look good but if you think you can go heavier, by all means, do so. You'll be amazed at what your body can really do.
 
Yesterday, all I got in was Squeeze Stronger upper body premix-I am pleasantly sore in my obliques today :) Today is cardio, but it is also a day of fasting so I may skip it. I felt pretty blah last year and I don't want to get myself sick.

Debbie-great workout, I am glad you are enjoying this rotation so much :)

Roselyn-good work
 
Today was Supreme 90 Day Chest/Back. 37 min(a little longer because I had to pause to finish some reps) 202 cal. This is my second time through this one. I changed some of the weights and reps from last time. It seems like I am already looking a little leaner and more defined since I started this rotation:D I then did Amy Bento's Hi/Lo Knockout knockout premix which includes the core work which I love. I really like the modified turkish get up. I used 10lb dumbbells for this. 44 min 302 cal. I finished with Shiva Rea's Power Flow Yoga water core and flow of empowerment standing segments 32 min, 129 cal.. Total workout time 1 hr 53 min and calories 633.

I meant to mention how that my glutes and legs are sore today:D My arms are sore too from Monday's Supreme 90 Cardio challenge and yesterday's Brook Benton Cardio Yoga. Was a little worried about the push up today but I did fine. Got more in with the yoga again.

Roselyn, nice workout. I pm'd you back on Supreme 90 Day.

Debbie, nice weights. Wish I could use my Bowflex leg press more but the grandbaby is always fighting me for the bench. Last time I used it with her here she was hanging on the power rods. Today I would have used the Bosu for some cardio but she was wanting to "share".

Theresa, I contemplated getting Squeeze before. It seems to get good reviews. Only thing is I tend to ignore my bodyweight and extra light toning workouts. Maybe I would like it once ina while. May add it to my collection eventually though.
 
Hey everyone,
Great workouts! =)

I'm still getting back into the swing of things following the move and wedding. I'm totally counting down till my short-term evening class is over..I will breathe such a sigh of relief!

Today I did the 35 min premix from Intensity followed by some extended stretching and work on inversions on my own.

My bday is coming up and I think Mom is getting me a Cathe gift card, so now I get to plot my purchase!
