Hardcore Fitness Maniac Hotties for 8/29

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Well, got on the scale and I'm down to 133.8#. I lost about .6# from last week eating comfortably. I'm glad to see a drop although I was hoping it would be a bit more. I feel so much lighter today for some reason.

Today was cardio. I felt REALLY good this morning and full of energy. I chose Kick, Punch and Crunch and then I did the arm drills from Cardio Kicks. Love that section of that workout.

I like KP&C but the first 20 minutes is so boring and slow. I'm actually shocked Cathe did a workout like this. Usually all her workouts are such high in intensity. Even after you get into the meat of this program, its not really all that demanding. I gave it my all, too, and wore my 1# hand weights.

My HRM was acting up. I gotta remember to change the battery. I'm hoping that's the problem. If it isn't, then it's the humidity. It keeps going to my touch screen and losing my HR. Kind of frustrating.

HR STATS:
1 hr. 5 minutes total
12 minutes below zone
23 minutes in zone
22 minutes above zone
445 calories burned but I know it was more.

If you add up those numbers, it only read 57 minutes of the workout. Each time it went to the touch screen it would lose my HR information. Weird.

Debbie - Sorry to hear you are having HRM woes again. Hope it something simple.



I didn't feel like doing anything this morning, so I choose IMAX 3.
Of course, it was brutal. Workout was 1:00 and I burned 502 calories.

Good morning! didn't do much yesterday. Had a bit more work than usual and then just felt low energy, fault of TTOM, I think. Anyway, I did the abs from one of Amy's cardios, the name of which escapes me now, then a bit of stretching and headstand practice on my own (want to get better at those for yoga class), and then the stress/fatigue section from Raviana's Yoga Quick Fixes. For today, my workout will be sometime after coffee!

I did my workout and then ran out to do errands. I went to Academy Sports and purchased a pair of long Nike workout pants and a dark pink UA sports bra. I was going to get an Iron Gym Pull up bar with the ab slings but they did not have one. Just the ab slings. It was crowded and I just wanted to get out of there. I am dogsitting today and my dd's lab has already got me coughing and sneezing. May have to go dig out some of those new allergy meds the doctor gave me. She knows that I am not going to take them unless I have to. I hate the side effects of meds.

Workout was STS plyo legs Meso 3 disc 26, then I did Tracey's Steady State Step. I only did 25 minutes because for some reason I just was not keeping with the CHoreography. My mind must have been somewhere else. I finished off with Abs using CIA Double cardio All Body cardio with Sharon Twombly abs/core segment and BOSU Blast with Seasun Ziegar abs/core ( I really like this because you do 7 minutes of planks varying lifting legs etc while hands are on the BOSU with it upside down then you flip it over and using the dome side do v sits, oblique work and some othe stuff with a dumbbell and finish off with side planks all done on the bosu) I then did Amy's Step Challenge 3 abspound1 with the kettlebell and stretch which is a great lower body stretch. Total calories burned was 745, 45%fat max HR was 161.

squats 15#dumbbells 12 reps
down up jumps 4 risers on each side which remain through most of the workout

Debbie, a lot of the time I just do the w/up and skip that first part to the more intense segment on KPC. Or do somethg else first and then do the intensity drill part. I wonder why everyone is always needing to change the batteries in their HRM. I changed mine in the strap once and I really think I did not need to. I have been using it for a year and 4 months. The reason I say this about the strap is I realized I was washing it with laundry soap with built in fabric softener. Once I switched I quit having problems. The battery made no difference.

Linda, how come it is when we don't feel like working out we get a tough workout anyway

Hermia, alls I can say is I am not good at headstands. Tried this several times with Yoga Shatki. Maybe I just need to keep practicing. I tried using the wall and that worked but didn't want the grandchildren to get the idea in their heads and put their shoes on the wall. LOL

Today was cardio and abs for me. Deciding what to start my weekwith. Any good rotation ideas?

 

[Hermia]

Diane, going up and down in a headstand with straight legs is really good ab work. Once my headstands get better, I'd like to do some reps up just up down with my legs. Unfortunately, I just haven't got the balance yet. Balance is over all my biggest challenge with yoga. I've gotten better, but still not great. Maybe it's my flat feet, I don't know.

Today's workout was butts and guts, the standing non bonus part. I did skip a couple things though, so I wouldn't die. I added in calves.
