Today I did Party Rockin Step 2 Premix Extreme 8 combos + finished product, 61 minutes, 435 calories. I then did Ice Muscle Meltdown biceps 15 minutes, 70 calories. I used mostly 15's with a little of the 17.5's and some 12's. This is lower than I generally go on this but I was afraid I would find myself straining through the neck and shoulders so kept it down a bit. I finished with Barre Amped Stretch and Strength Power Stretch, 23 minutes, 61 calories. Total time was 99 minutes, 566 calories.
Debbie, I don't know about all of these devices. My Fit Bit will give me pretty high heart rates at times but my calorie burns will be low. I swear it works best with steady state workouts. I gave myself slightly higher than the Fit Bit was today for the cardio workout. Really the Fit Bit Blaze surprises me at times. I can be 59 starting out and it will go up fast. Sometimes it has me at 172 and I am pretty sure that is not accurate. I think I have only got that high a couple of times and that was doing an Insanity workout one of them. I could not talk I was so out of breath. But, the average seems pretty accurate on the Fit Bit. But if I plug the average my calorie burn is much higher than the Fit Bit. Today though the calories burned was over 500 calories and I did not choose to use that. I just do not think that was right. Cathe's was not that high on the workout manager. Much as I would like to take the highest burns I think I would be in trouble if I relied on them.
Yes, I am working on Thanksgiving. I have been to the store so many times picking up things. I hope I do not have to go back for awhile. I had to move the turkey to the refrigerator in the house because it was not thawing in the garage refrigerator. It was still hard as a rock this morning. I am making a blueberry dessert salad from the Wild Diet Cookbook. I hope the family does not miss so many marshmallows
I don't mind a few cheat foods but I do not want to be overloaded with them as leftovers.
Jolie, I wouldn't worry that much about the workouts. Just enjoy yourself. You will probably make up for it later. My workout room does not have a bed in it but, when we have guests I would have to walk past them sleeping on the upstairs twin sleeper to get to the workout room. I put a cot in there for the youngest grandchild when he stays over. Not so much room here. We just got a leather sofa sleeper for the living room when my brother and his wife came for a couple of days. Not the best but it is more sleeping space for guests. I will be doing the blueberry salad, deviled eggs, and a Paleo friendly apple pie tomorrow, and a low fat crust free pumpkin pie for the dieters. . I usually pull the giblets out of the turkey and have it ready to put in the oven in the morning. Sometimes I boil them and give them to the dog. I am not sure that I will do that though. I won't eat them. My mother used to chop that stuff up and put it in the stuffing. I am not making the stuffing. One of my children is bringing that.
Roselyn, you are done with work for good? Or for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend? It looks like you are back at the workouts already.
