Hi Anne and Roselyn! I love the ab work in B&G.

I did ME upper body premix today- I have been doing so much heavy lifting since December that I kinda forgot how many stinking reps she does in an endurance workout. I about threw up after the biceps. Wow. It was weird to use lighter weights but I had to in order to get through the sets- still a good burn. Change is good and this rotation has been fun- legs twice a week and upper body twice a week. I also did TS's High Intensity Kickbox Challenge- just the 35 minute kickbox routine. Good stuff.

Have a great day everyone!

I finished my workout and am still waiting for my grandbaby to get here. I did STS disc 9 legs. Upped some of the weights. I was so stiff when I was done. Did Low Impact Circuit Cardio Blast premix. That loosened me up some. I finished with STS extended stretch and Tracey Staehle's Yoga Solutions post lower body weights stretch which really helped. It helped the low back too that has been bothering me more with all of these deadlifts. I spent a lot of time adjusting weights today. The workout took me 20 minutes longer than it was supposed to be. Usually I can get these with just 10 minutes of pauses. Thought I had everything set. THe worksheets don't always say dumbbell when you need one and I do wish they said whether it was a dumbbell or two dumbbells. I noticed the user guide has the dumbbel listed on some of the exercises that are not mentioned on the worksheets. Reps throw me off sometimes too. Like calf raises, the dvd says 40 and I counted 40. THe workout card says 16?? I burned 408 calories on STS legs, 382 calories on LIC cardio blast. Total calories with yoga and stretching was 903.

Anne, you are in for a treat with disc 9legs

Patti, I forgot to mention that I bought the Reebok 2# wrist weights at Target last week. I took them back because they barely fit around my wrists so the velcro could touch. Maybe they were made wrong ot something. I don't think my wrists are that big.

Morning Ladies.

This morn, I did Lowmax, I did not feel like doing anything, I had to push myself. On my home called PIAS letting him know, the weather was just to bad to drive the distances To make a long story short he sold kettlebells. Its okay you gotta do what you gotta do. I did a search this morning and I found these.

Teddy, I have heard that a lot of people like the Muscle Driver kettlebells. I believe the black ones have thicker handles. The troy ones are a good price. How is the shipping charges??

OMG

Diane Sue if you are feeling it i am going to die..
Think i will save it for tomorrow after work.. So i can not die tomorrow..

 

[Teddygirl]

Diane: Awesome Leg work! I ordered from Muscle Driver Even tho, Troy's is cheaper. Shipping was not bad either, only $14.13 for both. Not bad, huh And here I thought MD was going to go deep into my pockets.

I am going to order again would like to have 2/20's and 2/15's. But, need to save some money I've been shopping to much

 

[WD]

Anne, even my quads are sore. It has just been hamstrings and glutes till this time. I laid down this morning with a book for a bit and boy did I notice my legs when I stood up.

Teddy, that is not bad for shipping. I paid somewhere around that for my 35# GoFIT on shipping from Amazon. Cost me over 70 dollars with shipping for that 1 kettlebell I should have shopped around more.

Yesterday was yoga abs - should have done more than that one but time was short. Then did my own mix of TM, bike and SM, knowing today was STS legs. I was really looking forward to a tough one - it was fun - no doubt about that but not as hard as I had a anticipated. Of course, we are in the car for 4 hours so I may feel it when I step out

Diane Sue - I am looking for a Clean Eating magazine to check out those chocolate cookies! Were they really good? I am going to order Eat Clean cookbooks with Muscle Chow. Looking forward to some new options.

 

[WD]

Shana, I think if you order Oxygen Eat clean stuff you need to pay attention to how many carbs are in your recipe as opposed to what you want to eat in a day. They are devoted to healthy eating so I never feel really bad eating their recipes, but if you are really trying to lean out you need to know that some do have a lot of carbs and fats(healthy fats) incorporated. I look at these and try to decipher if I need changes. Like if a recipe would be a high protein recipe if I eliminated the rice they were going to add to it.(sometimes I double the protein and eliminate the rice. I felt the cookies were not bad because they did not have lots of starchy carbs and sweetner that did not have the insulin response. They were also more protein than an average cookie. Yes, they were awesome. My grandchildren were begging for more, my son came in and ate some. This was in the Jan/Feb issue. They were chewy and fudgy Also a lot of calories. I have saved a lot of recipes that I loved from these magazines. One of the fat loss ones is where I got my chicken curry recipe. I use it a lot. Loved the cashew chicken stew too.

BTW , If I have your e mail address I can send you the cookie recipe.
