Hardcore check in for March 2017

Today I did cardio, Powerstrike 5 and Extreme Cardio Fighter, Kicks only. I used 2 pound hand weights and I had to really work hard to get through theses workouts. I ended with an AB workout of my own. My max heart rate was 168 and I burned 644 calories.

Debbie, nice Press Play workout. I have never tried any of those since I cant run due to my foot. Great calorie burn!

Roselyn, great job on the leg workout today, that is a hard one for me. I don't have a fit tower so I wont be preordering those dvds if you have to have one to do those workouts.

Diane Sue, I hope you had a nice workout today.

Have a great day!
 
Today I did Tracey Staehle Cardio Kick Box Challenge, 60 minutes, 402 calories followed by her Strike Zone, doing combos 3,4,5,6 and the stretch, 28 minutes, 181 calories. Total time was 88 minutes, 583 calories. I have got in over 10,000 steps several times over the last week when I have done cardio.

Jolie, nice workout today. I think that you could do cardio coach workouts on a spin bike or other piece of equipment.

Roselyn, I don't think that the new Fit tower is a lot different from the older one. I think the holes in the ends are identified on both sides in some way on the newer one. I have heard the newer one is a bit easier to put together. I doubt if I had one that I would be taking it apart and putting it back together. Also I heard it is a bit sturdier. But then I have talked to those that keep their barbell stored on it. Do you have the clips?

Deb, nice work on Cardio Coach press play. I remember when they had everyone doing it together. It is so sad. I hate hearing that fitness instructors have those problems. It makes me sad and I have a hard time doing their workouts. I would be curious how the new workouts will work with the Fit Tower. I know one said it does some work off the tower. I think maybe Boot Camp? I wonder if they will answer that question. I know that there are others that do not have the tower. I would think if your Perfect Pull up set can be raised and lowered it would work for a lot of moves. I am unsure of how much of it uses the tower as a barbell holder. Then maybe they don't.
 
I went back over all of the questions on the new workouts and Fit Tower and it seems that Cathe's are avoiding answering the questions asked on using other equipment other than the Fit Tower or being able to use the workouts without the tower. I guess the idea was to market the towers. They are going to have the workouts on On Demand when they are out. Although then we would be paying full price for them. They do not cost that much and I am sure there will be premixes and chapters and a way to use them with figuring out something else to use.
 
Today I did Body Beast - Build: Shoulders. Had a great workout and went up again in weight on some exercises. My shoulders are finally getting stronger again. I'm trying not to push my luck, though, because I have had issues with my rotator cuff in the past.

Roselyn - Nice leg workout! I love working my legs. I miss it because I haven't done it much with my knees. I've been working them with BB though, and I feel great so far.

Jolie - Nice job with your workout! I seriously need to start kickboxing again, I miss it.

Diane Sue - They probably are gearing those new workouts to the Fit Tower so everyone has to buy one. I won't. I have a bench that I can place a bar on for squats, etc. so I don't see why I couldn't just use that. I have the Perfect Pull Up bar to do pullups with. I'll see what it entails. If I can't do it with what I have, I just won't buy them. Nice workout yesterday! You girls are making me want to do my kickboxing workouts.
 
Today I did Chest and Triceps. 1 minute rest between sets, no rest between drop sets. Workout was 1 hour and I burned 301 Calories. I got a phone call in the middle of it for 20 minutes but I went right back to it after the call. I hate when that happens!

Debbie, nice shoulder workout today! You are killing it! Since I have gone to kickboxing instead of walking, my weight has gone up! I burn more calories kickboxing and I gain weight? Whatever. Kickboxing tones my upper body and legs really good so I guess that's the upside. I feel like I can never win.

Diane Sue, Nice workout today. I am going to pass on those workouts and try Les Mills instead. I am getting a little bored of Cathe so it is time for a change. During the spring and the summer I like to do more cardio based workouts to shed some of the fat. I laid off walking on the treadmill and went to kickboxing and I am gaining weight again. My legs and glutes get toned better from the kickboxing and my upper body really leans out from using the weighted gloves. I feel like I cant win! It must be my eating that is holding me back. I look like I have gained muscle especially in my abs and core. I wish I had the answer. I think a lot of it has to do with hormones. I need something to block Cortisol because I am stressed out a lot and that may be why I cant shed the fat. I workout hard daily but cant get the scale to budge.

Roselyn, I hope you have a great workout today. How is your mother doing? I hope she is feeling good.

I have been following a trainer on Facebook and Instagram named Kira Stokes fitness. She is awesome and what an inspiration. I like her method of training. Check her out on YouTube too!

Have a wonderful day!
 
Today I did Strong and Sweaty PHAT Extreme mix #2 , This one repeats all of the rounds 4 times. The final two are Rnd 1 and Rnd 2 back to back, 1 set. So that is 4 sets of each exercise. 56 minutes, 306 calories. I then did Strong and Sweaty bonus abs, 13 minutes, 57 calories. I had more strength for the plank segments this time. It went pretty well. I can tell my strength is almost all back. I finished off with Barre Amped Stretch and Strength upper stretch and relaxation stretch 28 minutes, 62 calories. Total time was 97 minutes, 425 calories.

Debbie, maybe if you just take it very slow with the legs on raising the weights very high. I am learning to be careful with the knees and the neck and shoulder area. It is just not worth it. Body Beast doesn't move quite so fast so I think that makes it better for form and avoiding injuries.

Jolie, I find that switching up the cardio and types of weight workouts a lot keeps the weight down. I have dropped weight doing the kickboxing workouts myself. It has been gradually dropping back to where I like to be ounce by ounce.
 
I forgot to post that I had the best week ever for getting my steps in with my Fitbit. Total steps 110,000!!! I am proud of myself because I didn't get on my treadmill not once. I just walked the dog a lot and moved as much as possible. I know that my kick boxing is included in this number as well.

Jolie, wow on the steps. That is a lot. I am not even half that. Funny thing is that I even walk around while brushing my teeth to try to add some steps.
 
I did Body Beast - Build: Legs. Upped my weights a bit and really felt it. My knees were a bit touchy today but not too bad. Love this workout but I hate Bulgarian Squats!!!!

Then I walked on my treadmill for almost a mile. :)

Diane Sue - I am not overdoing it with my leg workouts (or the ones that hit the neck and shoulder area). Like you, I think I've finally learned my limits. The minute I feel something odd, I stop. I'm glad, too, knock on wood I haven't had an injury in a long time. Nice job on that workout, it looks brutal. I haven't done that one yet. I like the bonus abs on that series.

Jolie - WOW!!!! How on earth do you get so many steps? I bet I haven't passed up 80k in one week. Nicely done girl, you are rockin'!!!! I usually get 10k or more each day during the week but hardly ever on weekends. I'm lazy on the weekends and I don't even care. :) Like Diane Sue, I'll walk around while doing stuff just to get a few more steps in during the day. I love the way my FB tells me that if I didn't get at least 250 steps in for the hours I have programmed, it buzzes me. Love this thing!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
 
How do I get that many steps in a day you ask? I walk my dog one or two miles everyday except Sunday when I make my husband do it! He is a work a holic and never exercises and it bugs me to death! I also have to run a lot of errands every day due to running a very busy household. I always park at the most far away parking spot when ever I go out shopping and I have a 3,000 square foot ranch style house which gives me quite a few steps going from one side of the house to the other. I also try to either walk on the treadmill or I get steps from my kickboxing workouts. I guess that's how I do it.

Today was Shoulders, ABS, Power Hour Biceps and 100 Body Weight Squats. Workout was one hour and I burned 402 calories. The squats killed me, I haven't done any squat exercises in a long time. My shoulder workout was adding drop sets at the end with no rest in between sets.

Debbie, Great leg workout today! I love to work legs but they get really bulky looking and then I cant fit into any pants! I can never seem to get the fat off my rear and my legs ever! Hormones I guess. You see how much I workout and my lower body never looks any different. My upper body is much leaner than my lower body. I have never WALKED this much as I have in this past year and my legs look the same. WTF? The squats irritated my knees a little.

Diane Sue, I will check back latter to see what you did for your workout.

Roselyn, I hope you are doing well.

Have a fantastic day!
 
My knee was a bit achy last night and this morning so I chose a low Impact workout for my cardio. I did Ripped with Hiit Low Impact Hiit both workouts combined 50 minutes, 375 calories, avg. heart rate 129/max 164. I then did Ice Low Impact sweat workout 1 premix skipping the warm up 23 minutes, 148 calories 123/149 heart rate. Total time 73 minutes, 523 calories. I do have that knee get achy once in awhile. I made the mistake of buying Neocell Collagen 2 with naturally occurring hyaluronic, glucosamine and chondroitin acid capsules. They are not working like my usual joint powder from Vibrant Health. I thought I would try to save money till there was another sale offer on what I normally buy. Now my fingers ache, neck hurts and crackles and my knee is starting to have fits. I am going to go to the store next week and get the powder. I even upped the amount from 4 capsules to 6 a day as it says on the bottle. I don't know why nutritional supplements have to be so different from one to the other in quality.

Debbie, great job on BB today and getting in a mile too. I always liked those deadlifts with the ez curl bar. I need to start that reminder on the 250 steps back up. I had stopped it when I was recuperating from surgery because it sort of annoyed me as I was lying around

Jolie, I have found when I got the most obvious results I had to be very diligent on a squeaky clean low carb diet. I made sure I got my protein in and used a PM protein powder with casein. Also varied cardio, but most intense and one of the times I was doing a P90X rotation where I followed the lean phase in the meal plan book throughout the 90 days, and the other was STS along with some other stuff like Insanity's upper body workout and Insane abs. I went hard and heavy. It is hard to keep in that fit state. Right now I just want to stay where I can see definition and not fat. I guess I still have the definition. My surgeon was commenting to his nurse on how defined my arms were. I only pay attention if I seem soft around the middle or like you the pants are getting tight.
 
Today I did cardio, kickboxing using 1 pound gloves. My shoulders are sore from yesterdays workout so I went lighter today. I did Power Strike 6 warm up and punches only. Next, I did Combat 30 the entire workout, ended with Extreme Cardio Fighter Kicks and the last punching segment. I also did Leg Extensions and Deadlifts.

Leg ext-
50# x 15, x 15, x 15

Deadlifts-
40# BB x 12, x 12, x 12

My workout was 1 hour and 30 minutes. I burned 708 calories prior to my stretch, 803 calories post stretch. My average heart rate was 134 and max was 177. This workout rocked! I'm in it to win it right now!

Have a nice day.
 
Today's workout was Strong and Sweaty Bootcamp extreme #1 double it mix, 81 minutes., 548 calories. I then did Barre Amped lower body stretch, 19 minutes, 42 calories. Total calories 590. I lowered some of the upper body weights on the second time through. The first time I stuck with Cathe's weights.

Jolie, that was some tough workout. Nice work!
 
Today I did Build: Chest & Tri's. Had a great workout. I thought I had one more week with Build but I should have started the Bulk phase this week. Oh well, I like Build. This was fun and I went up in weight on some exercises.

Single Set
Barbell Chest Press: 20's/27's/32's/25's - 15/12/8/8 (last two sets were drop sets)

Workout was 43 minutes, burned 112 calories. Avg. HR was 79 and max was 117. Too much rest in this one.

I also walked on my treadmill for .75 miles.

Nice job with your workouts!! You guys did well. I really wanted to get on my treadmill yesterday, I ate bad all weekend. I just didn't have time, though. Back on track!!!
 
Today I did a cardio workout. 50 minutes on the treadmill, 6.5 incline and I traveled 2.59 miles. Elliptical, 10 minutes, high incline to low incline interval setting, 1,100 steps. Total workout was 1 hour and I burned 603 calories. My average heart rate was 134 and my max heart rate was 178. I feel very tired since the time change so it was hard to motivate myself this morning to workout.

My son participated in the Nike Regionals for football yesterday and did very well. He was so light weight compared to all the other OLine guys, by at least 80 pounds. He still beat most of them because he is in such good shape and is so strong.

My youngest son is sick now and I have to go pick him up from school. He was the last to get this stuff so I hope we will be good for awhile.

I will check back in later to see what you all did for workouts today!
 
Today's workout was Kelly Coffey Strength and Stamina, both workouts premix, 64 minutes, 367 calories. I felt I worked hard enough the calories should have been higher. My max heart rate was 161 but average was only 114. I have not done this one very many times. I like the format of lower, upper 3 times and then a kettle bell swing segment. I followed this with 21 Day Fix Extreme abs (note to self, I do not like this one because there is two much balancing on one arm in a plank position for 1 minute of work) 12 minutes, 40 calories. That one really ends up making my wrists and shoulders ache. I finished off with Suzanne Bowen Barre Amped Strength and Stretch advanced active stretch, 38 minutes, 62 calories. Total calories burned 469, 1 hour 44 minutes. I went back out today to pick up some more of the Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth protein powder. I have been buying vanilla. I wish it was not so costly. It has 21 servings in a container though. They have a bone broth protein burst powder that looks like it would be good. Not as much protein in it at 8 grams but it is a pre or post workout formula. Not as expensive, but I am not sure about servings.

Debbie, nice workout today. I hear you on the long rests. The bulk phase is shorter workouts, isn't it? Maybe you will have a bit more time for your walks. Todays workout did not result in many steps for me.

Jolie, it looks like you did pretty well for not rested enough after the time change. Great calorie burn anyway. I felt that way this morning and thought I would just do weights. Then I picked one that was cardio and weights.
 
Today I did Build: Back & Bi's and had a great workout. Pretty much stayed with the same weights as last week. I actually went to failure early on a couple of sets.

Workout was 47 minutes, Average HR 83, Max HR 110. Burned 132 calories.

I also walked on my treadmill for 1 mile. :)

Jolie - I was really tired yesterday as well. Plus I'm not sleeping at night very well due to night sweats. Getting really sick of them. All day, all night. I can't find any relief. Congrats on your son who did the Nike Regionals!! And I hope the son that is sick gets over it quickly. Nice workout girl!

Diane Sue - Nice workout, that's too bad you didn't get many steps from it. I have half a mind of putting my Blaze on my ankle. I bet then I would have a ton of steps daily. The calorie counts do get frustrating. Look at mine today. 132? Really? I worked to failure and I got a hundred and thirty two calorie burn. Not right.
 
OMG is all I can say about my workout today! I did Body Beast Total Body and added more exercises at the end because I had time and I thought the workout needed it.

Debbie- What I find with Night Sweats and natural supplements that work are the following. The first one I get from my Chiropractor, it contains Chinese herbs. The rest I get online at Swansons.
Myomin- Chi's Enterprise (Estrogen Support)
DIM Plus for Estrogen Metabolism by Natures Way
DHEA and Pregnenolone Complex
7-HMRlignans From Norwegian Spruce Tree (this is the best thing you can take)
Super Strength Pregnenolone

I find these have completely changed how I was going into Menopause. I have no night sweats and very regular periods again. I am happy!
Nice Workout today, you rock. Try my workout I did today sometime, you will love it. I thought if I do this two to three times a week and get cardio in the other days I might see my weight go down.

Diane Sue-Awesome workout yesterday! That looks like a good one. I have never done that workout, I don't think that I have the dvd. I have quite a few but not that one. I am going to get a kettlebell for swings and other exercises. What weight should I get? 15#?

Roselyn, I hope you have a nice workout!

I tell you what, I am tired!

Have a great day!
 
Today I did Susan Chung's Rapid Fire Sweat, 72 minutes, 564 calories. I need to get a few things caught up again today. My cell phone is messed up since the last update so if I can't go online to get help I am going to have to make a trip to AT&T. It keeps telling me touch whiz is not working. I cleared the cache and data and it is still no working right. I have to wait awhile for each app that I click on/or try to click on to come up. It is frustrating.

Jolie, have you started your keto diet yet? I have been reading David Perlmutter MD's books and website. He has a cookbook out. He says we do not need carbs. He is a neurologist. I believe he has been on some television spots. He wrote Grain Brain. I would start with a 15#. You will find that and maybe a 20 # are the ones you will use the most. I have those two in pairs since some of the workouts I purchased use two and they are nice to pick up at times when doing weights instead of dumbbells for things like suitcase dead lifts and that sort of thing. I also purchased two 31.2# two 25# and I have a 35#. I purchased the heavier ones in gradual increments. One thing about most kettlebell workouts is you get weight work and cardio in and you are not jumping all over the room.
I just used Black Cohosh which helped. I tried some other things but they disrupted sleep or gave me terrible nightmares. I remember a friend hugging me once when I was having hot flashes and she commented on how much I was sweating. It is miserable. I do like that workout. I need to pull it out. I have been aiming for at least one total body per week. That is great that your son did well in the regionals. I hope your son gets better quickly. Did he miss the flu? My 2 year old grandson was running a fever when I was over on Friday. He was still sick Sunday.

Debbie, I get almost half the calories from my Fit Bit to what I come up with plugging the Fit Bit Heartrate average into my Calories burned app. I generally use around the net calorie burn. It will give the gross calorie burn Today I used a bit lower than the net calorie burn. Map my fitness was higher and of course Cathe's kickboxing gives a met 10. I used a 7 which I feel is more accurate according to how hard I was breathing and how hard I was working Susan Chungs workouts are not light. I know what my calories should be.
