Hardcore Check in July 25,2009 Saturday

[WD]

I am getting this started. I am going to go do cardio and Amy's Slo Mo Total body challenge #1. I like the exercises this mix incorporates and it is only around 42 minutes. This is my 3rd week of incorporating APX and Slo Mo into my workouts. I will move on to something else soon.

Meals yesterday were:
b- cappucino protein shake
l- salad bar at Chicken and Chops restaurant. Not a lot of healthy toppings for protein they had ham, bacon and eggs No low fat dressing I shared my salad with the grandbaby
s-atkins bar
d-Sneaky Gourmet Curried Chicken and Vegetable Stew

Hi Diane Sue, sorry I missed that you started us out earlier. I will cut and paste.

I did GS Legs this morning- we were up early thanks to the wee boy. It felt great- haven't done that one in months. I was supposed to do abs but not feeling it. Maybe while the kids nap, maybe not. I am doing 4DS the rest of the week so I'll get 2 ab sessions in at any rate.

Debbie: I'm thinking of you today and sending you strength. Take care.

Linda: How is your butt? How has the eating been lately? We haven't checked in with each other on it in a while.

Diane Sue: I just received my Squeaky Gourmet yesterday- I love a new cookbook. I like the look of it- simple and not too many ingredients.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

My workout is finished

I did Amy's APX premix challenge #1 This took me 50 minutes with pauses to get my weights together. It is supposed to be around 46 minutes. Treadmill workout from Oxygen magazine Advanced steady state hill workout I raised the inclines and speeds a little. I went 2:53 miles. I then did Spinervals Flexible Warrior swim segment 10 minutes and my Biscontini foam roller workout for 30 minutes stopping at the glute and itband. I may try to do it from there tomorrow.
Weight Workout went like this:
Jefferson squats 3 sets 8 reps each side 25# dumbbell(these seem longer because after 4 reps you hold the next 4 moving toes in and out)
Hammy rockers 2 sets each side 8 reps. I love these they really hit the hamstrings well. I started first set with 25# and lowered second to 20#.
Prone lying on ball alternating dumbbel row 3 sets 8 reps each side 20# dumbbells.
Seated on ball overhead barbell press 2 sets 36# on incline bench I sometimes do this with 40# but left shoulder is bothering me)
Bicep Bonfire on incline bench 3 sets 8 reps 15# dumbbells
French Curl on incline bench(scull crushers)25# dumbbell 3x8

Patti, I think you will like this cookbook. The ingredients are pretty simple.

Diane Sue - what Oxygen was that in?

Shana, it was in the Summer 09 Abs collector's issue. It was in the complete fat blasting guide. I have used both the Advanced Steady State Hill program and the Interval jog/sprint program. I did go slightly faster on the Steady State and went about 5 minutes longer with one more hill elevation.
