Made it through Pyramid Upper Body (repeating down the pyramid after a 4 minute break or so), except for biceps. I ran out of time, but will get them in today. I've gotten stronger since the last time I did this series. It’s been awhile - maybe five months or more. That's one of the reasons I repeated it after doing it last week. Made me HAPPY
Worked hard yesterday and enjoyed it , mostly. It was a little tough in the beginning - cramps were bothering me
But the sun actually came out yesterday!!! Woo Hoo - That helped. I got some yard work done. Seemed like EVERYONE rushed out to mow their yard. It's been the first dry day in awhile. Probably wanted to get it done while they had the chance. Planning an interval workout today (25/15). I’ll get some bike sprints in there. Kb practice tonight.
Theresa - I saw your post from yesterday and thought about how vigilent you’ve been in looking for a solution to your own stuff. So, I took your suggestion and called the doc. They can’t get me in until next week, but when I told them about “Flo (funny way you put that
)," they asked me to get some blood work done - said they’d have an order waiting for me at the lab. One thing they wanted to check was if I might be anemic?!! Geez. I s'pose it's possible. Anyway, I went and had blood drawn after dropping off DS (always a "vile" experience
). Providence looks like such a great workout (from the clips I've seen)! Well done. Enjoy your rest day.
Debbie - It had been awhile since I’d done the Pyramid series, too. No leg soreness this week. Minor DOMS last week. I just don’t get leg soreness very often. Even so, I was a little surprised - felt like my weights were spot on - I pushed really hard and even added in some extra sets of pyramids with other exercises. Upper body soreness is more common, especially for biceps - and they seem to be the most stubborn about strength gains. Go figure. Sorry your knee is acting up. When things don't feel "quite right," it can detract from a workout.
Linda - Quite a day you had yesterday, huh? I hope your shoulder feeling better today and you take it easy … no pool installation or mountain moving or anything
. Praying you get the results from your MRI soon. Waiting can be hard. Also, Happy Anniversary AND Birthday
!
Hermia - How did you like the Gym Style premix? I’ve previewed my new Foundations yoga DVD (kind of) while doing other things. It looks good and I'm hoping to try at least part of it this weekend. It seems long to me (almost 90 minutes). Didn't you say your classes typically run about that long? Hope you get some time to yourself this weekend.
Cheryl - Glad you played hookie. You must have needed it. And personally, I’d go with Theresa on her sweat-based calorie estimate (for myself as well). Her science seems air-tight to me
.
Lora - Was your workout floorwork-based? Hope you're doing ok and get some time off this weekend (for a change)
.
Diane Sue - Hope your weather's improving, too. Have a good workout
