Hardcore Check in for December 2014

I stayed up late last night trying to download Ripped with Hiit. I got 4 of the workouts, two of them being the short bonus ab workouts. THe internet here is very slow and goes out all of the time. I am thinking I should wait to finish after we move this weekend into our house. We should be able to get better internet then. I really don't know why they came back saying they couldn't be downloaded after hitting 50% and 77%.
So, I started with Low impact challenge stopping at 17 minutes when they were doing the push ups (no space), then I did All out Low Impact Hiit Floor, I then did Les Mills Combat Core Attack, 19 minutes. That is when my download failed the last time. I just took my laptop in and did The Ripped with Hiit abs one, 10 minutes and decided to do Ripped with Hiit Low Impact Hiit one, 29 minutes. I think I am going to like these :D I did order the dvds as well as the downloads. They should be along in a couple of days, maybe longer.
 
I got my dvds in the mail today too. I was surprised they reached me that fast :D I just figured I would try the other two that I had managed to download but now I have more choices.

Roselyn, I felt I needed the low impact today after yesterday's workout. My knees and shoulders were quite sore this morning. It depends on how I feel when tomorrow hits what I will do.
 
Today I did Ripped with Hiit, back, shoulders and biceps with abs 2 mix 9 and added in the stretch. 65 minutes, 282 calories. I then did Ripped with Hiit Low Impact Hiit 2, 29 minutes, 193 calories. The next few days will have to be short workouts or no workouts. I will be getting things together and moving into our house :D. Total time was 94 minutes and calories burned 475.
 
I just wanted to say that I like the looks of the pre-mix options on the Ripped with Hiit I did today. It did seem that there was no stretch on the Low Impact 2 with abs 2 mix. I just added it. Lots of different options for the weight. I thought it was hard enough with the finishers but you can do it with 4 sets instead of 3 option. The low impact combos of both or doubles look good too :)
 
This morning I did Ripped with Hiit Citrcuit Hiit Lower doing the warm up twice to really warm up my legs, 51 minutes, 378 calories. That is it Things to do to prepare for closing and moving tomorrow morning. This workout was really good. I was sweating buckets. It was a nice mix of plyo cardio, cardio that works the legs at the same time and weights that were not extremely light. I liked it.
 
Sorry no check-ins last week. Upper back would feel good one day and then hurt the next. Decided to take the whole week off. Sick of taking weeks off. I feel ok today and even though I have to leave for work at 7:00, I got up and did a half hour of Cardio Coach #1. Did Challenge 1 & 2. Felt good to do something. Hopefully will start back with PiYo tomorrow.

Have a great day!
 
Friday I did Tai Cheng before we closed on our house and started moving. Nothing Saturday and Sunday. Today I did Ripped with Hiit Upper Circuit 46 minutes, 330 calories. This worked well because it really did hit everything.
I don't know why I keep putting these in the workout manager because Ripped with Hiit does not show up.
 
Today I did Sweat from PiYo, I like this workout. I was truly sweating by the time I got done. Too many pushups, though. I realize pushups are the best basic body strength exercise, but I hate them...
 
No workout yesterday. We are still moving and unpacking. I go up and down stairs a lot with boxes, weights, kettlebells and equipment. I guess that counts for something. This morning I did Plyo Hiit 2. Lots more work to do and I am picking up my granddaughter in a bit since she has finals this week. I am trying to get things sort of put together since I am keeping 3 of my grandchildren this weekend and want it to be relaxed and fun. I think this is the first time my daughter has left the baby overnight. He is 7 months.

Debbie, glad that you are doing better.
 
I forgot to post this morning. I did a weight workout on my own and wrote down all my weights, etc. but left it at work. Duh!!! I worked upper body this is what I did if I remember correctly. I did this in superset fashion.

Barbell Press: 55# - 3 sets/12 reps
Dumbbell Rows: 12's - 3 sets/12 reps

Dumbbell Flyes: 15's - 3 sets/12 reps
One Arm Row: 25# - 3 sets/10 reps

Incline Dumbbell Press: 25's - 3 sets/10 reps

Overhead Tricep Extension: 25# - 3 sets/12 reps

Workout took about 50 minutes. I had fun with it!!!

Diane Sue - Thanks! I'm glad it healed quickly. I know the trick now to get that knot worked out. It lasted a week but last time it lingered for much longer than that. Even my workout this morning didn't bother it.
 
Today I did PiYo Core. Wow, what a great workout that is!!! I really felt my abs burning doing that workout. Only thing is at the end she did a lot of side planks and I do them with my knee on the floor and that was making my knees hurt a bit, especially my left one. When I did a workout by Cathe and it had an exercise similar to that in it (clamshell exercise) it made my left knee swell up this summer. I hope it doesn't happen again. I had to stop at times because it was so uncomfortable.

But other than that, I love it!!!!
 
This morning I did Ripped with Hiit chest, shoulders, and triceps whole workout with abs 1. 50 minutes. Now on to more moving and getting settled in. I am going to my daughters and will pick up my bosu later. I am working my way through all of the new workouts. I still need to do Plyo Hiit 1. I tried a bit of it but when it got to the one arm burpees my arms were too fatigued from all of the lifting and moving. Along with getting up with my knee achy. I think that one will require some rest first. I also need to do legs since I have only done the lpwer circuit. I should do Tai Chang.

Debbie, I am glad that you figured out how to get the knot out. I really like both of the Piyo core workouts. It tends to make my wrists hurt with so much plank work. I have a hard time with the side plank snow angel thing. Holding my leg straight really starts to put pressure on my knee. I can do it on one side easy but not the other side. I hope that you don't get any swelling. Nice workout yesterday.

Roselyn, how are you liking Ripped with Hiit
