Hardcore Fitness Hottie Maniacs for 9/13

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Well, I'm down 3# this week! Just three weeks into this program and I've already lost 4# and 3% body fat. This is simply awesome! I started out at 134.6# and I'm at 130.8# this morning and 18.9% body fat.

Had an excellent workout this morning. I was really careful as to not irritate my shoulder because this is the workout that put me in pain last week. I tested going heavier and was able to up my weights with all the exercises.

1:30 minute rest between each set and 3 minutes rest between Back and Biceps.

BACK
Barbell Upright Row (underhand):
85# - 6/6/6 (up 5#)
80# - 10 (up 5#)
75# - 12/12
***I decided to go underhand with this instead of overhand. I think that is one thing that bothered me last week.

Pullovers:
54# - 6/6/6 (up 2.5#)
51.5# - 10 (up 2.5#)
49# - 12/12 (up 2#)
***These felt great. I really concentrated on squeezing my upper back.

Chins:
Skipped
***I'm starting to think these are hurting me more then they are helping me. I try them next week.

BICEPS
Barbell Curls:
65# - 6/6 (up 3#)
60# - 10 (up 3#)
55# - 12/8 (up 3#)
***I'm back to the highest weight I've ever curled. By the time I got to 55# I was fried.

Incline Dumbbell Curls:
26's - 6/6 (up 1#)
22's - 10 (stayed the same as last week)
20's - 12/12 (up 3#)
***These felt good too. Biceps were pumped by the end of these sets.

Dumbbell Preacher Curls:
25's - 10/10 (up 3#)
***Took all I had to get to 10 reps with each set.

That is all...

Morning Hotties! Getting ready to go on a long mtn. bike ride in the canyon. It's going to be chilly up there! I'll take my long tights just in case.

Debbie- Great results so far with this rotation!! What do you think made the difference?

Diane Sue- Is Debbie Siebers coming out with more workouts? I've only heard the Video First Aid kit one: http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/total_body_solution.do?code=NEWS_319_KICK_TBS with Chad Waterbury. I'll be getting this one for sure. I think all us hurtin maniacs could use this one. LOL!

Hey Chicas!

Well, since I didn't do a darn thing yesterday I'm getting ready to do CC #8. My hammies are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sore today from Power Hour the other day. Those deadlifts kill me when I don't do them for awhile! I'm hoping they don't hurt too bad doing CC. But hey, as Debbie says, if I'm not hurtin' I'm not happy (or something like that). And of course, no pain, no gain.

Debbie - Congrats on the success of your program! You're smart to watch that shoulder.

Dallys - Are you riding with DH today?

Okay, I better get moving or I'll never get my workout in!

Later skaters!

Hey Maniacs!!!

Something went wrong starting mid Thursday when I got back from Chiropractor. I had a cervical traction done which puts pressure on the skull by pulling on it some with about 15# of pressure every few seconds, and for 30 mins. I had this done before and no problem. I have had a migraine for 3 days now...all I want to do is sleep. My eyes and head hurt so bad and was vomiting, etc. I am tolerating alittle food right now so have decided on spinach as spinach is suppose to be good at helping migraines disappear. So unless I caught a bug at the hospital after my colonosopy..I am thinking it was the cervical traction performed that caused this. If anyone has ever experience migraines for several days and what else can be done, ppppllleeeassse let me know. Thanks!

Debbie,

That is great news!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad the rotation is working for you. You had a really great workout

Bionics,

Have fun!!!!

Suz,

Nice hearing from you again...glad your hurtin' in a good way.

Pebble,

Nice workout!!!

Hi Maniacs!

I took three days off to baby the foot, will try the elliptical here in a moment.

Char, I have heard of that, my fear would be a spinal fluid leak, but gentle traction should not have caused it. Does lying flat ease the migraine? If it doesn't ease soon..you should really go to the ER, like maybe even today. are you sensitive to light? Google spinal fluid leak and see what you find, but I had malpractice case once and it sounds awfully familiar to me.

Suzy Q...hey woman it's been a long time! how's amber? I can't believe I forgot your other doggies name. My lab died and DH got me a boston terrier (now 2) and Mugsy's tongue hangs out of the side of his mouth just like your pup.

Dallys, I'm still debating on the 10minute trainers now there is another Debbie!

Debbie...way to go woman.

Ok, believe it or not I'm working from home trying to catch up before my end of the month two week trial.

Have great workouts everyone!

Amber

Amber,

YIKES...that does not sound good. I took an advil and so far feeling better, but I just hope it continues once the advil wears off...I am thinking it will.

Thanks for the information.

 

[SuzMax]

I just finished CC #8. That is my new favorite. I love it b/c it's all climbs and no sprints. I don't like the sprints so much. Opposite of Debbie. But the climbs are hard on my knee right now so I'm icing it. I HATE ICE!

Char - What Amber told you sounds scary! Extra Strength Excedrin is the only thing outside of my prescription meds that ever touches any of my headaches. I wish we lived closer so I could give you some prescription meds (shhhh...don't tell my doc). I hope it's not what Amber said!

Amber - I didn't even notice Mugsy's tongue! How cute! It's Gizmo whose tongue hangs out. Same side too. I'm sorry about your Lab. That's so hard to go through. We love those little Boston Terriers. It's nice to see you back here too. I missed you! Gosh, aren't we just an injured bunch! Don't work too hard today.

 

[amberwaves]

Char, didn't mean to freak you out! but the ER has meds that may ease it, it's the vomiting part that is concerning because you see that when something screws with the spinal fluid or vascular system to the brain. Typically it's better when you lie flat though. Rest may work alone.
Sorry didn't mean to freak you out.

Suz...How is Gizmo boy?

Amber

I was contemplating hi lo or step but wanted to finish the last few pages oF my Nora Roberts book. I jumped on the treadmill and did 5.28 miles. I burned 607 calories and workout was 1 hr 11 minutes. I did a lot of fast walking and added in some sprints.
Back and shoulders went like this:
Bowflex wide grip pull downs 5x12 160# resistance
Bowflex Rows 5x12 70# resistance in each hand
Bowflex reverse grip pull downs 5x12 160#
Bowflex shoulder press 5x12 30# resistance
Bowflex front raise 5x12 30# each
Bowflex reverse fly 1x12 30 each hand(this really hurt the front of my shoulder since I am feeling an injury there)
Flexible warrior energy and swim segents.
Total days calories were 916 and 40% FAT.

Debbie, that is awesome on the weight and bodyfat.

Suz, I stopped at CC # 6 7 and 8 I have not purchased. Mudd has a black spotted tongue and Puddle's points out when she yawns LOL.

Amber,

Knowledge is power. It is still freaky, but we all need to know the possibilities. I am actually starting to feel better. No vomiting since early this morning, but I am still seeing aura's at different times and still feeling like I have a headache, but not necessarily a raging migraine now and was able to eat alittle more.

Hey Maniacs! Just woke up from a long nap. The bike ride totally wore me out. Went for about 2 1/2 hrs. HRM screwed up on me so I'm not sure the stats. I know it's about 15 miles though...tough miles! Lot's of riders up there today too (used to not see hardly any). It was perfect weather, in the 60's.

Char- I hope this is nothing serious and it's just a bug you caught at the bum Doctors. Be careful!

Suz-Yep, went with Dh, hence the long nap. I stopped buying the CC's after # 5 too, just like Diane Sue. Don't talk me into anymore. You know I'm in this buying streak!

Amber- I hope the foot gets better soon! I bet you're getting real sick of it. Yeah, you need both the 10 min. trainers AND the Debbie Seibers one.

Pebbles- Nice workout!

Later...off to feed.

 

[SuzMax]

Amber - Gizmo is so good. He's afraid of everything! But he tries to be the alpha dog with Amber but then he runs away from her, barking the whole time.

Diane Sue - Another great workout! Haha - your dogs both have funny tongues.

Dallys - You and Diane Sue would both like CC#8 I'm pretty sure. It's different and I just love how strong it makes my legs feel. Keep buying workouts!!!

I ran into this girl at Sam's Club who I used to work with and she told me about this church she's going to (I was actually going to try it with this bodybuilder guy who teaches my kids rock climbing classes but he just moved to Montana to be close to his little girl - but he's going to come back and teach for me - yay). ANYWAY...it's called The Element. The pastor is 33. I've been hearing about it for the past couple of years or maybe year and a half. It's currently meeting at the theatres at our mall and they are refurbishing an old fitness facility that went out of business. They have 500 people who go there now! She said the music is so loud (live) that they hand out ear plugs. Too funny. Anyway, I'm going to try it tomorrow. It's non-denominational Christian.

 

[WD]

Suz, thanks(I think) LOL I just downloaded CC#8. Sean has his prices lowered I couldn't resist.

Dallys, I have my eye on the new Debbie Seibers and the Chalene Extreme. Now Amy Bento is getting ready to do a new series too. I may find myself on another buying streak LOL

 

[Hermia]

Debbie--congratulations! yay!

toasty---glad you are feeling a bit better but that is kinda freaky. If migraines aren't something you are normally prone to (I guess for some people they are) I would totally ask the doctor about it. A friend of mine, his wife gets them, and pretty much there doesn't seem to be anything that helps her, unfortunately. She's had them all her life.

Suz--that church sounds interesting. the church I go to is kinda similar in that they have a sunday evening service that particularly targets the younger crowd, it's like MTV church. it's non-denominational Christian.

Diane Sue--I'm looking forward to Amy's new series! Hope there's some more info on her site about it soon.

Tonight's workout was MTV Yoga and the chest and shoulders from Amy's All Pump Xtreme.
