Mammogram went good. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I should get my results by Monday.

Today was P90X Back & Biceps. Had a pretty good workout. I didn't do one pullup, just cannot do anymore. I used my bands for all the pullups/chinups and still got a great burn with them. Upped my weights a bit on some exercises.

Wide Front Pullups - 15/All bands

Lawnmowers (One arm rows) - 37#/10 reps (upped these 2#)

Twenty-Ones - 17's/21 reps
***Last week my form sucked on these so I lowered the weight 3#.

Cross-Body Curls - 20's/10 reps (up 5#)
***Good weight here, really felt it.

Switch Grip Pullups - Not sure, lost count/all bands
***I did 3 reps overhand, 3 reps underhand. Lost count because Bear was eating styrofoam.

Elbows-Out Lawnmowers - 30#/10 reps (up 2 reps)

Standing Biceps Curls - 22's/10 reps (up 2#)

One-Arm Concentration Curls - 22#/9 reps
***I did this like normal concentration curls. I don't like the way Tony does them.

Corn Cob Pullups - 10 reps/all Bands
***Pulled the band down, moved it to the right and then to the left and went back up with it. Got a great burn.

Reverse Grip Bent-Over Row - 22's/10 reps (up 2#)

Open Arm Curls - 17's/10 reps
***These burn like a mother.

Static Arm Curls - 15's/16 reps (up 3#)
***Good weight for this.

1 minute rest

Towel Pullups - 16 reps/all Bands
***Looped towels in each handle of the bands and alternated holding onto the towel and pulling towards me. Did 3 pulls on each side then switched.

Congdon Locomotives - 20's/40 reps (up 10 reps)
***These are bent over alternating rows. You just keep alternating rows for 40 reps.

Stability Ball Incline Curls - 22's/10 reps
***These were suppose to be those Crouching Cohen Curls, those hurt my back so I subbed this exercise.

One-Arm Corkscrew Curls - 20's/10 reps
***These are alternating dumbbell curls but you start with your palms behind you, then you corkscrew the curl up. I liked these.

Chinups - 15 reps/all Bands

Seated Bent-Over Back Flyes - 17's/15 reps

Curl-up/Hammer Downs - 17's/12 reps (up 2 reps)

Hammer Curls - 20's/8 reps (up 3#)
***Good weights here, biceps were burning.

Max Rep Pullups - 4 sets of 3/all Bands
***He said to pick whatever pullup/chinups we wanted to do. I chose the Towel Pullups.

Supermans - Skipped
***Just didn't feel like doing these today.

In-Out Hammer Curls - 17's/8-3 reps
***Really felt these. You do a standard hammer, then one out to the side. Great burn here.

Strip-Set Curls - 25's/20's/17's/15's - 8 reps each
***Excellent weights here. Really worked for each set.
 
Debbie-glad it was not as bad as you thought :D That is usually the case. Good work on P90x. What system do you have that allows a 2# weight increase?

Yesterday was 30/30 HIIT from shock cardio again. I really like this workout. I'm trying to work my way up to the 40/20 but I am scared....
Today is weights and steady state. I follow up with Olesya today or tomorrow. At last measurement, I had lost 1/2 " off waist and hips. I'm sure it would be more if I could just get past these holidays and get serious.

Question: I upped my weights on deadlifts but my forearms are still screaming from Saturday, what can I do to change or stop this from happening?

Morning Maniacs -

Ugh....hard to roll out of bed this AM. Zero motivation. I chose Tracey Long's new Longevity series - Back Up. I liked it....it was a good mix of cardio and weights. It had med ball segments and the cardio was based on different sports. Max HR was 151 and I burned 510 calories in 60".

Have great workouts everyone.
 
I am really disgusted with myself and Shock Cardio. My calorie burns are not that good and my HR just doesn't want to get up there:mad: Anyway I did HiiT 30/30 30 minutes and burned 215 calories Max HR was 162, then I did 40/20 ( I did lower the bench to 3 risers each side instead of 4) 29 minutes, 255 calories, 164 Max HR, I finished off with Travel Fit using my green non latex Cathe band throughout and tried to run around the room whenever there was a break and intensify everything, workout was 50 min and I burned 266 calories(only 11 more than the first time through).
Total calories today was 737 and workout was 1 hr 50 minutes. I can't figure out why I have to spend almost twice as long as most of you to get the same calorie burn.
OK, now I have vented some of my frustration I will go shower and maybe I will get over it.
 
Diane Sue - It takes me so much effort to get my HR up these days. I think my HRM gives me higher calories burns than my previous ones. Get a MIO Drive!! LOL. Ever since I got this thing, it tracks higher burns...........but I'm okay with that! I just figure it's more accurate than my older model! :D
 
Diane, I've never used a heart rate monitor myself, but do you think yours is accurate? But I guess you can pretty much feel your heart rate no matter what, so you can tell that it's not where you want it to be, so.....hm. I have nothing useful to say, lol.

Mom and I did this new yoga workout yesterday that I got her for Christmas; it's called, I think Yoga to the Rescue, neck and shoulders. Anyway, I really wanted it for her because she gets super tight in that area, even to the point she loses circulation when she sleeps, and so far it seems that yoga helps and massages help, but she hasn't been able to afford the massage therapist lately. However, I was a little disappointed with the workout. Not that it was bad, just that it might not be good for her. It had shoulder stand, plow, and side plank, all of which I think could injure her. Her wrists, shoulders, and neck area are sensitive/somewhat arthritic. She does have a vhs copy of a yoga workout she likes, but I think it's burnt out...I gave it to her and I got it used off a swap myself, so it's time was probably up. Perhaps that one in dvd format would be good. We probably wont get a workout in today.
 
Hermia-I just ordered Yoga Link for the shoulders. It has several different options, you may check it out. they had it at totalfitnessdvds.com. I'll try to get back later and give you the exact name

Diane Sue-First, you are a very fit individual and judging by your pictures; you do not seem very large. It will more than likely take quite a bit to equal what I can burn (@5'9" and 190 lb). Second, I quit using the hr monitor and I am much happier; you know you work out hard and it is not always the best representation of how hard you actually work. You still almost burned 400 calories her hour and I dare think the hr monitor may be off a bit.

Debbie-thanks I will check those out.

Theresa
 
Theresa, I am at 5'4" and 118# and you are probably right that the monitor is not completely accurate. It still runs a little under the last one I had. But I think by calories in and calories out the other was the most accurate. I really want the newer Polar that you can change the batteries in. I went for years without a HR monitor but once I used one I feel lost without it. It helps me set goals.

Hermia, those moves can hurt with yoga when arthritis flares up. I know when mine is bothering me a lot it can be hard. Not sure that it will necessarily make it worse though. Is there premixes on the workout that she could use or could she skip through those segments?

Lora, I would like my HR monitor to be accurate for me as calories in and calories out. Also I feel somewhat frustrated about not being able to get my HR above my high end of 163. That is something that rarely happens. If my HR monitor gave me to much higher of calorie burns I would know it wasn't right. As posted above to Theresa, I think mine is off and the last one (Polar F11) was more accurate on my calorie burns. Still not as high as everyone elses though.

Debbie, nice workout. I am glad your mammogram went well, which I was sure it would;)

So glad tomorrow is the last holiday. I love the season but the junk food!! ughh!!

Debbie, was that your first mammo? Most of those techs are so nice and make it not too bad of an experience.

Anyone have any rotations planned to start the new year?
 
DianeSue - I am going to send you my HRM monitor, as the calories burned are always way up there. It might not be accurate but it sure does make me feel good!:D


Theresa - Just want to second what Debbie said: I love my versagripps!

Debbie - Whacha gonna do tomorrow? I am thinking of doing legs and skipping the back exercises.


Lora - Nice calorie burn!


Hermia - I got a shoulder yoga DVD from Pranamaya. I've only done it a couple of times but I like it.



I suppose to do Back & Biceps today, but when I went to put my dvd in I found it broken!:mad::(:confused::(:mad::confused: I have no idea how in the he** that happened!! So I decided to do the workout just from the log sheet. Went really well. I kept the weights the same for all the bicep exercise except the last one the Strip Set Curls. I went from 25-20-15-12 to 25-20-17-15 and this worked great. And I did bands for all the the back work except Corn Cob and Towel Pullups which I did assisted. I did however up my band tension by swapping out the medium tension one for another heavy tension.
 
Diane Sue - yes, I rarely can get my HR above 168 max. It's frustrating when I see others do it consistently. I use my HRM mostly just to make sure I stay in the range I'd like to be in for a particular workout, rather than couting on the calorie burn thing. I'm always afraid if I don't wear a HRM, I'll be an exercise slacker and not work out hard enough. The HRM keeps me working at the intensity I want (mostly), but there are those days that nothing seems to get the HR up!
 
Linda, LOL on the HR monitor. Sometimes I can just accept the readings and other times it just makes me mad. That should raise the HR a little more LOL

Lora, before I got the HR monitor I worked out longer trying to be sure that I got enough of a workout in. I wanted to workout till I felt hungry. LOL I think now I would obsess even more after having one. I think I would never be a slacker because I obsess about it too much.
