Hi All - Debbie, I did that workout yesterday and really liked it. For Tbar row - I used 55#. All other exercises I used dumbbells. I used 25s for the back exercises which was good for me - I really felt it. I used 15s for biceps and really felt those. I tried 20s but was really loosing my form, so I reduced.

I meant to tell you all, on Saturday, I viewed the You tube clip for plyo legs and jotted it all down and then did the routine with 16 reps of weights and 30 seconds to 1 minute of the plyo moves. Lots fun and I am sure I torched calories. It took about an hour.

Today I was going to run hills in my neighborhood, but it is really rainy and cold. So I am not sure. May do cardio mix from bodymax 2.

Have great days all.

Good morning! Workout is done. I like PS, but I felt like my tempo and Cathe's tempo were always different, so I didn't follow her count very much.

Workout stats:
54 minutes
274 calories
55% from fat

PS Back
T bar row warm up 1x16 (wts to one end of BB) 45#
T bar rows 3x10 (wts to one end of BB) 60#
Bent Over Rows 3x10, 60#
1 arm rows 3x10, 30/25/26.25#
---As you can tell, I couldn't make up my mind on the one arm rows- for 3 sets, 30 was too much, 25 not enough.
Shrugs 15s/20s (Next time I'll go up on these)

BM2 Back
Double Arm Rows 20s(didn't care for the ball)
Pull Overs on bench 30# DB
Rear Flyes on bench 8s (tried 10s but my form sucked)

PS Biceps
Bar curls 2x10, 35# BB
Seated db curls 2x10, 15s
Negative Curls 2x10, 30# BB
Concentration curls, 2x12, 15s 1st set/ 12s 2nd set

BM2 Biceps
Hammer Curls standing 15s
Incline Curls on Ball 12s
Concentration Curls on ball 15s but finished with 12s (eek!)

My biceps are a weak point for me so I tried not to get discouraged with the 12 # DBs I had to use here and there.

Sonya: WTG to failure on those concentration curls! That's terrific about 2% body fat loss too- that way you know the weight loss is really losing fat, not muscle.

Ally: That's cool about the plyo workouts- I kind of dread those but know I'll do them, probably while cursing.

Debbie: I saw your post on the other check in- I had to go much slower than Cathe, too. For heavy weights, I also thought they were pretty fast reps.

Hey Maniacs!!!

Went to the Reikki healer this morning. Quite interesting. I will definitely go back. The healing session allows your body to talk to the Reikki Master. Your body will do things that you may not expect, but all is brought about by light touching to the head, center of chest and tapping on hand. If you have physical ailments then one should go. If you have spiritual ailments then one should go. It is worth every penny. I cannot share with you all the details cuz it was quite intense and emotional.

Hubby has bronchitis so I need to go get his medicine. He has been sick for several days so far.

Still plan on doing my cardio and ab work. Will post when I can.

Hello my friends!

I'm baaaaaaack!!!

I've been sooooooooooo busy at work today so no time to check in. But I did finally get back to my normal, early workouts. I did Legs and then Cardio Coach 8. Yup, I was wiped out. I haven't even had time to eat very much today which I'm really disappointed in myself for doing. I'm trying really hard to pull it all together.

Great workouts everyone. I wish I had time for personals but I figured I should at least post my workout. Sorry!

LEGS

Leg Press
150#x12r
185# 8x2

Calf Press
150#x12r
185# 8x2

Leg Extensions
100#x8r
110# 8x2

Ab Situps on bench
20/20/20
Done between leg extension sets with feet locked under pads.

Bulgarian Split Squats

50# 8rx2

Romanian Deadlifts

I wanted to add these back in but since they were aggravating the bursitis in my hip I lowered the weight from 85# to 70#. That helped a lot. But I'm bummed about the weight.

Lying Back Extensions
3 sets of 15

Squats - Smith
105# 3x8

That's it.
