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!!
