Hardcore Fitness Maniac Hotties for 9/30

Today was Legs and Calves and I had an excellent workout again. Really loving this rotation!

2 minutes rest between each set except only enough rest to lower weights for the 25 repper sets.

LEGS:
Squats - 65#/12 reps - 2 sets (warmup)
Squats - 110#/6 reps - 3 sets
Squats - 65#/25 reps
***Went up 10# with the 6 rep sets and 5# with the 25 rep set.

Leg Press Station - 185#/6 reps - 3 sets
Leg Press Station - 125#/25 reps
***Went up 10# with 6 rep set and 20# for the 25 rep set. I should have went heavier with the 6 rep sets.

Leg Extensions - 85#/6 reps - 3 sets
Leg Extensions - 50#/25 reps
***Went up 5# for all sets. Good burn with the 25 rep set.

Elevated Deadlifts - 95#/6 reps - 3 sets
***Went up 5#. I didn't do the 25 repper with this. I feel that is way too strenuous on the low back. And my low back is fussy.

Lying Leg Curls - 55#/6 reps - 3 set
Lying Leg Curls - 30#/25 reps
***Last time 55# was almost too heavy so I stuck with that weight. By the 3rd set it was almost impossible to get the last 2 reps in. Got a good burn with the 25 rep set.

CALVES:
Standing Barbell Calf Raises - 120#/25 reps - 4 sets
***I did toes forward, toes out, toes in and toes forward with these. Really got a great burn here. Went up 5#.

That is all....
 
Debbie- freaking awesome weight work. I am glad u r enjoying the rotation. I forgot to ask if there were any other activities that upset your hip flexor, I have been really trying to rack my brain.

Yesterday I did ASC 3 combo 1,2, volumes 1&2x2, powerups x 2, and combo 5. I have had insane amounts of energy this week and I am trying to work it
 
Good morning.

Glad you had a great workout, Debbie :) Legs are my favorite (in a way). Been working them hard since I was in my late teens. That may be why. Still have a hard time getting started sometimes but once I get going ... :D

Theresa - You must be feeling better. Glad your energy level is so high. After your bout with allergies, you're due for it -and that's such a good feeling. Good workout :) .

As for myself, colds are not really 'serious' but they can sure make you feel pathetic. Stuck sneezes are the worst (the one's that sit in your nose and can't decide whether they want to 'fly and be free' ... or not :confused:). I was a mess for a lot of yesterday. A friend gave me some cold medicine that he said really worked for him and that helped, but it gave me a weird, jittery sort of energy. I did get Kickmax done. Most of the workout is not very intense (and the blast segment is very short), so it was about right. I also spent about an hour on Budokon Power and Agility (made it all the way through). Continuing to see improvements there. I think the meditation segments help me, too. Considering I almost took a rest day yesterday, that was quite a lot. If possible, I really don't want to miss any workouts. I'll tell you, the cold meds really make me feel kind of weird though. Sort of 'buzzy.' Not sure that's good. I think I am a little better today. Cardio today. Not sure what exactly. I'll see how I'm holding up a little later.

Have a good workout, everyone.

I finished my workout and got some of my housework started:D I started my workout with Turbo Fire Fire 45. 45 min, 354 cal, Max HR 167. I then did Pyramid Upper body and abs, 57 min, 320 cal. I finished off with Turbo Fire Stretch 40 and did 32 minutes of it. It is 42 min in length. Cal burned was 129. My legs are kind of sore from the lower body work and all of those leg presses on the high step so I really needed some stretching. Total Time 2 hr 14 min and calories burned was 803.

Happy Thursday everyone!

I did Supersets this morning - not an overly difficult workout, but I increased the weights for everything and really pushed, so not a bad workout...
As for eating, that's another story. I decided not to post the truffles and pizza from yesterday - can't imagine why not!!?? :rolleyes:

Debbie - I really like the looks of your rotation. I may have to try that once I get settled in my new workout room. As for October, I am going to start one of your rotations you posted for someone recently...the one with whole body, cardio, circuit, cardio, whole body format. It looked really good and I have all of the workouts, so thanks again!! :D

Diane Sue - Two hours and fourteen minutes of exercise today!!!! Woooohoooo!! You are really amazing! I wish I could get in more exercise minutes!

Theresa - Good for you on having all that energy this week! :p Could you send some my way?

Roselyn - Nice workout today - I love that one! :D

Lori - Sorry you are still "under the weather". I hate that feeling of "medicine head" from cold medications - YUK!! I am the worst, however, and usually heavily medicate myself with double Nyquil and go to bed for as many hours as I possibly can just to get rid of it as fast as possible. Have you tried Airborne? I have been using it since last year and think it really helps to get rid of colds faster....at least I think it does, but it could just be placebo effect. Anyway, get better and take care of yourself!

I have to get back to work. I still think my closing will be tomorrow, although I still don't have any `official` word or numbers (money) needed to close. I did go to the new house last night and started pulling up the floors and stripping wall paper - probably not a great idea since I don't quite own it yet...ooopppsss! :eek: Wish me luck! I may not be able to post tomorrow depending on what time the closing is scheduled, so happy workouts to all!

Eats today so far:
post workout- mixed berries with honey
snack- 1 cup organic squash soup without dairy added
lunch- Hungry Girl 1-2-3 cookbook Fiesta Noodle casserole(this has soy crumbles, Tofu Shirataki noodles, taco seasoning, I used some salsa and tomatoes for the taco sauce and 1 Tbs of fat free chedar
dinner- I am still looking. I need to use some Kale and eggplant I have here so will figure it out.

Debbie, great workout. Nice weights:D

Theresa, I love those Power Ups. I like them a lot on the new Challenge 4 as well. Wish they were a little longer:) Looks like you had quite a burst of energy.

Lori, I hope the cold clears up and you get a good cardio workout in.

Roselyn, nice cardio combo:)

Cheryl, I have hardly ever done SuperSets as is. I usually use the blast mixes. You get everything covered in a decent amount of time though when you do it as is. Good luck with the closing.
