My low back was hurting this morning so I did CDorner All Standing to the Beat 80's 90's music high or low, 29 minutes, 171 calories, heart rate 143/173, 3,307 steps. I then did Flow with Mira back pain relief, 34 minutes, 52 calories. Total time 63 minutes, 224 calories. My back feel better tonight.

Roxie, nice job on the walk at the lake today.

Belinda, nice work on STS 2 Shoulders today and the Myra chest and shoulders. That one is a good stretch and probably my favorite of what I have done. She did help my low back.

Debbie, nice work on Raw Box, Bands and Abs today. I like the STS 2 workouts a lot, but they require a lot of time and I need more recovery time with them. Jane Iredale powder shadows go on nicely. The IT stick shadows don't seem to crease. They seem to be dry after on a couple of minutes. I was surprised as I have tried others in the past and they ended up in the trash can. I remember those tattoo shadows years ago and how they creased and did not look good. The only thing is the matte ones are all colors I do not think I could wear. Yes, you can pedal without using the electric par. It is a big bike with thick tires. My husband is working on getting everything together right now. The last parts other than the rack came in this morning. My daughter says she would like an e bike for hill climbing. My son plans on getting some, and he is the one that showed these to my husband.

Jolie, good job on the walk with your pup. I get sore in the traps when doing boxing with weights. I just used 1 lb when doing Box and pump 8 and the shadow boxing. Most of the time I just leave out the weights. I love boxing though.
 
This morning I did STS 2.0 Upper Body 1. I had an excellent workout and upped my weights on some exercises. I know I said I was sick of these workouts, but I've only done this one once and I don't think I've done the 2nd one yet. I ran out of time so had to stop at shoulders which bummed me out because I like the exercises she chose. Maybe I'll do that section next week.

This workout was old school lifting, 1 minute rest between each set:

Flat Bench Press: 20's - 10 reps
Flat Bench Press: 25's - 2 sets/8 reps
Flat Bench Fly, Thumbs In: 20's
Pushups: 16 reps (I did another set of Flyes w/20's)

Vertical Chin-Up: 50# Band - 10 reps
Horizontal Chin-Up: 50# Band - 8 reps
Vertical Pullup: 50# Band - 8 reps
Horizontal Pullup: 50# Band - 8 reps
Rear Delt Fly Thumbs Out: 8's - 12 reps
Band Face Pull: 15# Band

Barbell Curls: 30# - 10 reps
Barbell Curls: 35# - 2 sets/8 reps
Alternate Isolated Hammer: 15's - 5 reps each side (killer!)
Reverse Curl: 10's - 16 reps

Lying Triceps BB Extension: 25# - 10 reps
Lying Triceps BB Extension: 30# - 2 sets/8 reps
Lying Cross Body Extension: 12# - 10 reps
Band Triceps Pressdown: 15# band

Barbell Shoulder Press: Skipped
Barbell Shoulder Press: Skipped
Seated Arnold Press: Skipped
Side Lateral Raise: Skipped
Alternate Side Lateral Raise: Skipped

Workout was 49 minutes, burned 203 calories, HR was 98/131.

Jolie - Great job on the 4 mile walk yesterday! Is your weather cooler now? Hope so. It's nice here and in the 70's.

Belinda - Great job with your shoulder workout. It's been a while since I've done shoulders so I need to get at it. Next week I will focus on shoulders.

Diane - I agree about STS. She has you doing three total workouts in one week with the rotation she put out. I did that and about died. Definitely need more rest. Thanks about the info on the shadows, I may order a couple stick ones with my next Ulta order. Have fun with the eBikes! Sounds like fun!

So glad it's Friday. I hope you all have great workouts and a great weekend!!
 
Hi,

Today I did Raw Fine Tuning, 37 minutes, 86 calories. I also did Flow with Mira Chest stretch and part of CDorner Lower back stretch #22, 38 minutes, 40 calories. 75 minutes, 126 calories.

Debbie, nice work on STS 2 Upper Body #1 today.

Belinda, nice work on Flexibility and Balance today. I can imagine how it would be balancing with a brace on.
 
Diane - the shoulder, chest and neck stretch is hands down my favorite too. Not sure why I stopped doing her workouts, they make me feel good. Glad it’s helping your back. Great job on your Raw Fine Tuning and Chest stretch and lower back stretch. I did like the Flexibility and Balance workout I did yesterday, I should have taking the brace off, lol.

Debbie - great job with STS Upper Body 1. I like the shoulder workout in STS 2, I hardly could lift 1” on my left. That wasn’t fun. My doc put in physical therapy for my shoulder and knees. I just have to wait for an appointment. I hope I can get in soon.

Roselyn - nice job yesterday.

Jolie - great job on your walk. My doctor doesn’t want time to walk, he said it’s not low impact on the knees since you have to lift your feet of the ground. I still walk I just love it going outside.

Today I will do STS 2 Back I think? BBL

Hi,

STS 2 Chest and JS Flow 2: Chest & Back = 20 min ( from her Gentle Yoga for Balance + Flexibility+ Mobility DVD). I am starting STS 2 Week 7 tomorrow. 2 more weeks and I am done.

Where is Diane?

Have a wonderful day everyone.
 
Friday was no workout; I went and did my Life Line Screening in the morning after I walked the dog. I got all 5 heart tests done as well as my C Reactive Protein test which is the most important test you can have done. I should get my results in the next two weeks. Saturday, I did Cathe Live All in Upper Body and had an excellent workout. Today I did RAW Box and Pump 5 and did really well even though I was breathing pretty hard. I used 2# egg weights for the boxing portion and the same weights as Kelly in the weight segments. My hamstrings are already sore from all of the reverse lunges and deadlifts in the workout. I have not done those in quite some time so I will be feeling it tomorrow for sure. I love these workouts that include the cardio and weights because I feel like I get a great workout in, and I sleep like a champ!

Nice job with the workouts over the weekend everyone! I hope you all have a great Sunday.
 
Yesterday I did CDorner Power Step, 24 minutes, 141 calories, heart rate 141/172. I followed with Heather Robinson Relieve Lower back pain, 11 minutes, 14 calories(disappointment), and added CDorner Low Back Stretch stopping at legs up the wall, 21 minutes, 29 calories. My Son and grandson came over yesterday to try out the new bikes and we went out to dinner and had a nice visit. No workout today.
 
This morning I did STS 2 Body Parts Shoulders and had a great workout. I have another stupid knot in my shoulder blade area from sitting all damn day long at work. I hope it doesn't get worse like it usually does. :mad:

No time for personals, so have a great day and great workouts!! And how horrible for all the states that went through hurricane Helene. OMG, what devastation. I feel like crying every time I see pictures. So many homeless people right now. Praying for all of them.

Today is a rest day for me. Boy, are my hamstrings sore today.

Debbie, sorry to hear about the knot in your upper back again. Are you using your standing desk anymore? Way to go on the Shoulder workout even though you are dealing with a knot.

Belinda, nice workout today.

I hope you all have a great workout if it is on the calendar for today!

Today I took my dog to the vet for shots and have him check over our problems. I did manage to come home and get in a workout. I did Raw Kickbox #6, 32 minutes, 180 calories, heart rate 139/165. I then did Flow with Myra, Upper Body Stretch that worked on neck, upper back, and some chest, 23 minutes, 37 calories. Total time 55 minutes, 217 calories. My left back of shoulder and scapular area is hurting. I got up this morning and it ached and burns. It hurt leaning on that side doing stretching. :rolleyes: I kind of feel like there is something wrong there as I have been doing so much for it. It had let up for a couple of days. Maybe my arthritis doctor I go to the middle of next month can help. I was going to do an upper body workout. I think I will wait till tomorrow. I may just do arms.

Belinda, nice that you got in a long walk yesterday and today's Jessica Smith Relaxing Yoga Flow #3 along with Jessica Smith Endurance Walk.

Debbie, nice work on STS 2 Body Parts Shoulders today. I am sorry you have that knot again. It is so hard to figure out how to avoid that. I find if I sit a lot during the day things tighten up and my hip flexors even hurt. I talked to my brother, and he only got some rain from the hurricane. I am glad that he is okay. The storms were devastating for people.

Jolie, nice work on Saturday's Cathe Live All in Upper Body and Yesterday's RAW Box and Pump 5. Enjoy your rest day today.
