Hello everyone...even though I am not a member of this check-in, I do read it everyday and I must say that all you women on here keep me motivated to work out. Esp. fitnessfreak, shewolf and toastythemosty, some of weight amounts you girls post are quite impressive. Debbie and Linda: now that you have started STS, I find myself comparing my workouts to yours and WOW--with some of the exercises you blow me away! Anyway just wanted to say thanks to everyone and keep up the awesome work.
Hi, Nicole! That's so nice of you to say! I am glad we can inspire you and you can be sure we will continue to push ourselves to the max!
Stop by anytime!
I'm not sure if I'll get to workout today as I've got quite a lot to do!
I want to say,though, as with Nicole, I find everyone on this thread very inspiring, which is why I like to post here even though you guys are much more "hardcore" than I! Have a great day, everyone. =)
Hermia- Thanks to you too, for the nice words.
And to answer yesterday's question-yes, I am a personal trainer. I got certified about a year ago and and slowly trying to build my own business. But you are right, I absolutely love it. It has been the only job I've had that doesn't feel like work.
Hey Everyone! I have been reading some but know I have missed stuff. Every time I think to post, it is too late and I figure it will go unseen. Anyway, I am taking a rest week, although that is nearly impossible. I think I may do something today. My race Sunday was disappointing b/c I went into it with a headache, sinus facial pain, and a hurt shoulder. The shoulder is still hurting pretty badly so whatever I do today will be strictly lower body cardio. I want to race again this Sunday to erase the frustration of last Sunday but if the shoulder is not better, then it would not be worth it. Today, I just something to make me feel better and not like a lazy slob!
Shana - Sure hope your shoulder is okay, doesn't sound like fun at all.
Wall Squats Double Leg - BW/8 reps, different rep counts (Was suppose to use dumbbells but I cannot do this exercise. It's too hard for me to go all the way down to the floor to pick up the weights.)
Debbie- On on of the Cathe TV segments, Cathe suggests that you could set the dumbbells on top of yoga blocks or something similar if you are unable to get all the way to the floor to pickup the weights. Just thought I'd share.
BTW, I love the plate exercises.
Today was Meso 2, Disc 14 Triset Legs!
I liked triset because it broke up exercises I hated instead of having to pound out three sets in a row. But I hated trisets because for the same reason it made exercises I hated last forever!
I did do some of the extended stretch so workout was 1:03 and I burned 457 calories.
Then, this afternoon before the DOMS sets in, I decided to do CC2 revised on the TM. I went for 45 minutes about 3 miles and burned 429.
Today's total is 886.
