Hardcore Fitness Maniac Hotties for 10/22

Another puke status workout. Seriously, I thought I was going to pass out at one point. This next 4 weeks are going to be brutal. If they don't kill me, they will definitely make me stronger. LOL!

45 seconds rest between each set

LEGS
Squats:
140# - 4/4/4
125# - 12
100# - 20/20
***This 20 rep crap is exhausting. I get to rep 12 and think OMG I still have 8 more to go!

Leg Press Station:
260# - 4/4
245# - 12
220# - 20/20
***I thought I started out with 240#, then 225# and then 200#. When I recounted I realized I was higher then this. As you can see, I bought another 25# plate.

Static Lunges:
115# - 4/4
100# - 15
90# - 20/20
***20 rep lunges just suck. This is where I felt like I was going to pass out.

Elevated SLDL's:
100# - 4/4
80# - 15
65# - 20/20
***Was worried about my low back doing 20 reps with this, but I did well. Could have gone heavier.

Leg Extensions:
80# - 20/20
***Great burn on this.

CALVES
Leg Press Station Calf Raises:
230# - 20/20/20
***Did toes forward, in and out.

Was suppose to do Hamstring curls but ran out of time and I hate that exercise. I was also suppose to do abs and will do them when I get home from work. I've really been neglecting my abs lately. I need to work on that.

That is all....

Well, I had a lousy workout this morning. Good thing is today kids are off school so I got to sleep in a little, but still didn't want to get up! I had one of those nights where I don't think I changed my position at all during the night. Got dressed, went downstairs and I just didn't feel like working out at all, then DD gets up and starts interrupting me about every 5 minutes. Then you should have heard the conversation I had going with myself trying to talk myself into doing the cardio. I really think I need a break.

Superset A
Pistol Squats
8/8/8 **these were ugly this morning***
BB Bench Press
6/6/6 - 110# *** I almost did not make the last rep, it was a long fight up**

Superset B
RDL
8 - 130# **felt someting pulling in back of my left knee, so decided to drop the weight.
8/8 -120# **these were suppose to be 125# but didn't realize until later that I had taken 10# off the bar instead of 5# Duh!**
Spiderman Pushups
5/5/5

Superset C
Step ups
10/10/10 - 35's ** up 6# total, did well here***
Rear Delt Raises
12/12/12 - 15's **these were the same but I did not work them as hard***

Then cardio at a 45/90 ratio using Amy's ASC 1 power up 1 for six rounds, then 4DS LIS combos/intervals 1 & 2.

Now I am off to finish my duck.:eek:
 
Shana - To answer your question regarding my numbers for pull ups & chin ups and what they mean.... For both according to the workout suppose to do 3 sets of 8, the first number represents how many I did unassisted then I use assistance for the remaining reps to make it to eight. So yes 6/8 means I completed 6 full reps then used assistance for 2 more.
 
From yesterday's posts:

Sonya - How did your presentation go? I'm sure it went very well. I hate donig those kinds of things. I'm terrible in front of a lot of people.

Dallys - Rob is cute! I love his little feet! :p

Shana - Good workout and calorie burn from yesterday! I'm glad you and Sonya have joined this check in!

From today:

Teddygirl - That workout looks brutal. What does the "R" and "W" stand for with these workouts?

Linda - You probably do need a break, girl. You just sound so worn out in your posts. You had a good workout, though! Nice going and getting it done!
 
Debbie: It is brutal. What I have to remember is this program is design for one to lift as heavy as possible and do as many reps as YOU can do. I tried keeping up with Tony (bad ideal) next time, will master my own. BTW nice workout.;)

Linda: Them :)stats does not look lousy, at all. Great workout:)
 
Mornin'!

This morning was P90X Shoulders & Arms. I had to do it on an empty stomach b/c I had to have my blood drawn (just the one to check all your cholesterol, triglycerides, etc. - and not b/c my doctor wants it but they're doing it at the college and I always do it when they're here b/c I love to know where my numbers are - I'm kind of obsessed). Normally before a workout I only have 1/2 of a Carnation Instant Breakfast anyway. I know, really healthy stuff. :)

Tonight I will do CC#8. I figured I'd probably pass out if I tried to do that on top of an hour of weights on an empty stomach.

Still not doing abs and my abs are sore. Just goes to prove...

Debbie - What a workout!!! I'm thinking that I should add in an additonal leg day to P90X b/c there is only 1. I need to figure out what day. I think I'll do it on the PlyoX day which is Tuesday b/c the other leg day is Friday. I need more legs in my workout. Oh - R is reps and W is weight. One of these days I'll post my weights but it just takes me too long. Plus with all my chatting. :p

Teddygirl - Great workout. There is NO QUITTING just because you don't like something! Next time you better finish those side tri rises woman!

Linda - Okay, you're my hero. Six unassisted pullups??? You and Debbie are killin' me here!
 
Debbie - A little more on P90X - you can choose to lift heavier and do 8-10 reps, which is mostly what I do (although sometimes I end up being able to do more reps but feel like I don't want to go heavier on the weight but don't want to stop at 10 reps - that's usually where he says you should go heavier though if you're on the 8-10 rep plan - I just want to be careful about injuries, as I had a really bothersome forearm forever and ever and then there's my shoulder issue I'm trying to watch) or you can choose to do lighter weights and do more reps, like 12-15 or whatever if you want a leaner look. I think I can get away with lifting heavier and not bulking up too much since I do so much cardio.
 
Linda - thank you! Can I borrow some strength?? I can't even do 1 unassisted but my goal is to get there. Now that I am finally getting some good upper body strength (for me), I want to work on those.

Debbie - Spinervals are awesome. I used to hate cardio but then I got my TM, stepmill and arc trainer along with CC and now I love it. Always loved the bike but with the trainer and Spinervals, I get so much more out of it. Today I am going to take an nice, fast walk outside and then StretchMax - was going to do weights but my body needs the break - it will be good and ready for hell tomorrow though :eek:
 
Suz - Interesting about P90X. Actually, I had this series but sent it to a friend of mine. I did the ab workout in it and Tony drove me crazy so I figured I woudln't be able to follow his training. I hate when he called his crew "kids". Come on, what grade are we in here? LOL! BUT, I do know the people who have stuck with the program have transformed themselves and really, that's all that matters. But I'm just funny in that if I don't like an instructor, I won't do the workout. I feel the same way about Jari Love workouts. That woman drives me nuts!

Shanna - I am really in a funk with my cardio training. I just have no motivation at all to do it. I get it done but I hate every minute of it. I'm in awe (sp?) every time I see the cardio workouts Diane Sue does. I wish I had that kind of motivation to do cardio.

Diane Sue - Speaking of you, I am going to do an ab workout this evening because I have been neglecting my poor abs. I seen the one you did the other day and it blew me away. I won't be doing one near as intense as what you did, but I plan on spending at least 15 minutes on them. So thanks for the inspiration! :D
 
Debbie- That's funny because just after I posted, I thought about what I wrote then I thought about Diane Sue - I don't love cardio nearly as much as she does! Holy crap - I literally burn about 300 calories just reading what she does :D I think I would not make it through half of her workouts. 45 minutes to an hour does it for me. I do PP Saturday and that ends up being about an hour and a half - I'm fine with that and it feels great but I switch up the machines during the workout or I'd go nuts staying on the same one. Spinervals has some workouts that are longer (and I'm going to get some spinning shorts so my hiney survives) and try those here and there. Good luck finding something that helps you enjoy it again - have you tried iTrains?? I'm going to get a couple of those so I don't get tired of CC (ok, probably not possible but I do thrive on variety!)
 
This morning I ran on the treadmill while watching Tracey's Hi/Lo Med Ball Medball premix. I stopped the treadmill each time she did a med ball segment and did the medball portion. She did ech of the two segments twice. I went on to add two more of the standing med ball segments between running and 1 more of the ab segment and then did the stretch. I ran 6.25 miles between the med ball segments using a 10# med ball. You get a lot of core work in these. Then I did Bowflex lower body work:
5 sets of 20 reps calves superset with 310# resistance
5 sets of 15 reps leg press 310# resistance
then I did cable glute kickbacks standing 3sets of 12 reps at 50# each leg thought those might help shape me up a butt
icon_lol.gif

Then I finished with Amys 10 minute Solution tone trouble ones stretch segment
Total calories burned was 1081
927 calories doing the treadmill and med ball segments Max hr was 155 45%fat burned

I wanted to get in lower body 3 times this week. Also wanted do that with two total body workouts in the mix but because of my shoulder I am trying to be careful. The med ball segments with the light weight doesn't seem to bother it.

Debbie, glad I inspired you:D I like to have days where I train my abs hard just like I would anything else. I think Tony is funny. He is full of energy. I have his kids dvd and my grandchildren love doing it. He can really get silly at times:D

Shana, there are some good itreads out there and some are not to long. I believe it is itread 13 30 minute sprint one that someone recommended to me that is really good. I like itread and tush too. You have to get off and on the treadmill though but the floor stuff will keep your hr up.

Suz, I once went for bloodwork for a physical right after running 10 miles on the treadmill and eating and drinking nothing. I was so dizzy by the time I returned home. I will never do that again.

Suz: Thanks, I had to go back and look at what I posted to Debbie. Don’t know what happened to R reps & W weight explanation I wrote, duh! Probably dear boss was lurking, like he is now. Next time I get them ol side Tri-Rises, still hate em!;)
 
Hello Chatty Maniacs

Hi all,

I'm so sore it hurts to move. Tonight is shoulders and whatever else, with abripperx (oh it hurts to even say it). Sounds like we are all determined to get at least one pullup in! I'm going to keep working at it because DH says he won't believe I can do one. (I had to bribe him to get my bar out and up).

Dallys...Rob is sooooooo darn adorable. Have you seen him? I hope he is staying warm.

Suz...keep forgetting to tell you, you're hair is gorgeous, and we need to put blinders on for the biceps. Will you please eat some cookies and icecream please. No, seriously you are beautiful.

Debbie, try some kickboxing again! I think we all get bored at some point. I love how Diane Sue always mixes it up. I never want to think that hard, so I just pick favorites.

Linda, take a break woman, sounds like you need to hit reboot.

I have super busy day today and won't get to my workout till after 7PM, so have great workouts and Hi to all I missed.

AMber
 
Shana - I have many iTread workout and really don't care for them too much. Grace bores me to tears and I hate that she doesn't give you certain minutes that a sprint or climb is. That's just me, though. There are many people out there who love her workout.

Diane Sue - Nice workout again! I'll be thinking of ya when I'm killing my abs this evening. :p

Amber - I've actually been thinking of getting out a Cathe kickboxing workout and doing it. But I don't have a whole lot of room to do them. Kickboxing takes up so much space. I may try it here in the near future, though.

Teddygirl - LOL about your boss. They are a pain, aren't they? :rolleyes:
 
There are some iclimbs that I like the sound of. I've heard probably more bad than good about Grace...we'll see. I really don't care to be annoyed while working out.

Diane Sue - I'll check that one out. Sounds fun :) Thanks for the tip -
 
I can't stand Grace on Itread, I find here voice grating. Now Sean I could listen to forever .....:p

Debbie - You should try Amy's Rumble it doesn't take a lot of room at all. I pm'd you.

Teddy - Thanks! My weights were good, but my heart just wasn't in it. It just wasn't any fun.

Amber - I agree I think a break is in order, but my weight is still up and I hate to think of taking time off when my body needs serious work :p

Shana & Suz - Keep working on those pulls & chins, you'll get there. My goal is to actually do all three sets of eight.
 
Debbie - Aha! So you're a hater. I know your kind. :p I know that some people either LOVE Tony (Amber, Diane Sue and me) or they can't stand him (you). But you're right, if someone bugs the crap out of me, I absolutely can't do the workout.

Shana - You're doing Spinervals without bike shorts??? Are you nuts??? You must have one tough tushie! :D My DH builds bikes at our local bike shop (and they give him an employee discount which is good b/c we spend sooooo much $$$ there) and they all give me a hard time about my not-so-sleek seat. But when we're out on a 50+ mile ride guess who the only one is who's not complaining about her sore butt? :eek:

Diane Sue - Awesome workout! I can't believe you ran 10 miles, went and got bloodwork done and then DROVE HOME before you ate! Yikes!

Amber - Thanks. Well, I did eat a bunch of cookies over the weekend. :eek: But I'm trying to eat healthy stuff to keep from getting a bunch of cellulite. Oh wait - and I had 4 Hostess cupcakes Monday night and 1 last night. Oooo - the truth comes out!!! So much for healthy eating! Good thing they're gone now. Have a great workout tonight.
 
Debbie, Linda is right about Amy's Rumble. It does not take up a lot of space. If I add any more equipment to my workout room I will have to do cardio somewhere else. I have one of my i treads that I put in once and for some reason it is quiet and Grace just starts talking loud. I had her scare me once LOL I literally jumped because I expected some start up music or something.
