Hardcore Fitness Maniac Hotties for 1/6

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Today was Workout 2 of my full body plan. Each exercise was 3 sets/8 reps with a 1 min. 30 sec. rest period. Had a great workout.

SHOULDERS
Dumbbell Military Press - 20's
***Could have gone heavier but then I think my form would have been off.

QUADS
Leg Press Station - 155#
***Love this exercise. I've missed it.

CHEST
Incline Dumbbell Press - 35's
***These felt awesome. Could feel the contraction in my upper chest. It's been a long time since I've felt that.

BACK
Chinups - 8/5/5
***These were sad but all unassisted.

BICEPS
Barbell Preacher Curl - 55#
***These were tough, last set brought me to almost failure with the last rep.

TRICEPS
Lying Barbell Extensions - 55#
***These were tough too, last set was a challenge.

That is all.....

Debbie-your chin up numbers would have me calling everyone I know to brag Nice workout

Yesterday was HIIT and did the double pyramid. I really like that one b/c the sucky moves like tuck jumps and air jacks aren't the longest

We are supposed to get nasty weather here tomorrow. High's are only going to be in the mid teens. Wow, winter is really a you-know-what this time around.

Theresa - Did you see my response to you yesterday about doing chinups?

 

[buttercup78]

Deb-I did see that and thanks I will work on that next week. I have two bands that I am using to assist but I am still hoisting a LOT of weight up and down LOL

Oh Linda-thanks for the info on the overhead squats. I really feel soreness in my shoulders from those and I didn't even use that much weight. Also, I'm going to bite the bullet and do 40/20 this week.

Hermia-I cannot even imagine the traffic on freeway, you are in CA correct? I would not survive a.m. workouts as I do not even speak until I've been up at least 2 hours. Way to get it done.

I woke up this morning feeling dizzy and nauseated even though I was still lying down. I laid there for a long time. Finally got up and had some coffee and did Travel Fit 51 minutes. 332 calories Max HR 154:0 That is all. I took the girls to school and picked up Olivia. My stomach just doesn't feel good and I still have that headache.

 

[buttercup78]

Diane Sue-are you prone to sinus problems? That may be a possibility. I know you are not far from me and I have had the worst trouble with headaches and a bit of nausea-due to the drainage. It still makes no sense to me how I can have sinus/allergy problems in the dead of winter. Regardless, I hope you feel better. REST UP !!!

Debbie, nice workout. I need to go find one of those door attachments so I can do better at chin ups and pull ups. I put a bar across my vkr tower.

Theresa, this weather is terrible. Figures it would do this when dh is gone. I did lots of errands outside the house yesterday and topped off my gas tank. Don't want to be stranded out here needing things.
Maybe if I feel better I will try double pyramid. I have sinus issues, migraines and tension headaches. I get them all. I do think there is a stomach virus going around though. My grandson stayed home from school for a couple of days vomiting and stuff that I won't explain.

Theresa, yeah, I'm in southern California. The freeways that I use are fine at certain times in the day, but at others, an absolute nightmare. I went to yoga class again today. It was a different teacher, and I liked her class a bit better, but the unheated room may be a deal breaker for me, not sure. There's a yoga studio a little over ten miles away, and it looks great online, but I'm not sure how the traffic will be. I may give it a try.

Sorry about the crappy weather some of you have! It's quite nice here, but I like seasons, so I wouldn't mind if it were colder. Well, not cold as in loads of snow, but just some nice sweater weather.

Hope you feel better, Diane!

Great workout, Debbie. =)

Hi Everyone,

This morning I did Tracie Long's Back Up. Really love the med ball segment on these and the more I do them, the more they work me. However, today I should have not lifted so high working shoulders and am having terrible shoulder pain. Will I ever learn that I HAVE to modify those moves? Workout was 60" and I burned 512 calories.

I also did Ravi & Ana's Yoga Bliss Hips. I thoroughly enjoyed this and MUST get back to doing more Kundalini yoga, as it makes me feel like no other form of exercise. Amazing stuff! I have their new ones on preorder. Will start adding it in more often....if I can figure out how to!

It's my only day off for a while. I work 7 straight after today! and we are super slow at work now....which makes for long, boring days.

Linda - I'm surprised to hear you want to continue with P90X but I think that's great. I sort of wish I would have continued with it but doing one more pushup just didn't appeal to me. You go girl!!! And nice job on today's workout!!! I now sort of wish I would have purchased STS Cardio. I'm hearing so many good things about it.

Debbie - Great workout! I can't believe I've decided to finish P90X either. I keep telling myself it is only 4 more weeks and at least some of the workouts alternate. Guess I am no good at quitting. Also, I'll e sending you a pm.

Oh Linda-thanks for the info on the overhead squats. I really feel soreness in my shoulders from those and I didn't even use that much weight. Also, I'm going to bite the bullet and do 40/20 this week.

Theresa - Now I have to ask ...How bad is Double Wave????

I woke up this morning feeling dizzy and nauseated even though I was still lying down. I laid there for a long time. Finally got up and had some coffee and did Travel Fit 51 minutes. 332 calories Max HR 154:0 That is all. I took the girls to school and picked up Olivia. My stomach just doesn't feel good and I still have that headache.

DianeSue - Sorry you are feeling so lousy. If you manage a workout today, I will have decided you are inhuman.

Theresa, yeah, I'm in southern California. The freeways that I use are fine at certain times in the day, but at others, an absolute nightmare. I went to yoga class again today. It was a different teacher, and I liked her class a bit better, but the unheated room may be a deal breaker for me, not sure. There's a yoga studio a little over ten miles away, and it looks great online, but I'm not sure how the traffic will be. I may give it a try.

Hermia - The cold room would certainly be a deal breaker for me. I asked for yoga socks from my secret santa and I do yoga in a heated room!




This morning I did SC Step Moves. It was a very fun workout. Got most of it down and should be able to smooth it out with another 1 or 2 tries. Couple of problems I did have was the ball of my left foot was sore while doing it. But I don't feel it in my Uggs or while walking around. And having some pain in the outside of my right knee. Kinda worried about that.

 

[buttercup78]

Linda-don't get me wrong it's hard, but you move up and down on the intervals so it is not unbearable. I think this is my favorite so far.

Diane Sue - hope you feel better soon. There is a stomach flu going around here also.

Diane Sue, hope you feel better soon.

I did MMA boxing today, it was ok like hiit better. Doing Insanity really pushed my cardio level way up so I am used to really working hard.

We are getting snow here tonight with low temps. Our high Friday is going to be 8.YUCK

Okay, let's talk Tracey's Cardio Kickbox Challenge. Yesterday I received 3 shipping notices from Tracey and now today I get an email saying there has been some confusion and she is not sure it shipped at all so she sent it again today So now I am wondering exactly how many copies of this DVD am I going to receive? Anyone else get this?
