HARDCORE FITNESS MANIAC HOTTIES TGIF

GM LADIES

Yesterday was cardio and I chose Shock Cardio HIIT 40/20. Not only was it tough on the cardiovascular system, but my friggin' quads were shaking and I didn't even use as high a step as they did. Today is a rest day but I may switch and do weights and take tomorrow off....not sure yet.

Theresa - 40/20 is a killer for sure! Nice job!


Today was suppose to be P90x Legs & Back, but I need a change, so I choose Butts & Guts. I only did the standing leg work because by the time I was done that I could tell it was more than enough. I will be lucky if I can walk later or tomorrow! I stuck with 5's & 35# barbell like Cathe, only change I made was I did one legged deadlifts where Cathe did traditional, repeating the segment for the other leg. Then I finished with the ab section and stretch.

Today was the workout I did last Friday only in superset format. Had an excellent workout. Was full of energy this morning. I think I even see some definition in my abs this morning.

Each superset was 2 sets/15 reps each with a 2 minute rest between each superset.

SS #1
Weight Bench Tricep Dips - 60# (up 5#)
ss w/
Barbell Shrugs - 100# (up 5#)
***Good superset. My triceps are still very sore from Wednesday's workout so the first set of dips was a killer. Shrugs felt great, I love that exercise.

SS #2
Leg Extensions - 80# (up 5#)
ss w/
Lateral Raise - 12's (up 2#)
***Kind of a boring superset but really felt the leg extensions. Went really slow with the downward movement.

SS #3
Bent-Over Flyes - 17's (up 2#)
ss w/
Decline Flyes - 22's (stayed the same)
***Kept 22's for my flyes because this exercise irritated my right shoulder last week. It feels good today, though.

ABS
Oxygen Triset Ab Workout:
Hanging Knee Raise
Bench V-ups
Reverse Bench Crunch
***Did all exercises in a row with 15 reps, 1 minute rest, 12 reps, 1 minute rest, 10 reps, 1 minute rest. Love this tri-set workout. I always feel it.

Have a great day everyone! I'm off to grocery shop....

Theresa - Nice workout girl!!! Hey, be careful with Yaz. There are tons a lawsuits against the FDA right now about the drug. It's doing bad things to women. Maybe google some of the problems?

Linda - Ok, I didn't think you were serious about the exercise. LMAO! That is just scary!!! Nice job on B&G. I haven't done that in forever. I'm sure it would cripple me! LOL!

Hi to everyone to check in!

This morning I did STS HiiT 30/30 28 minutes and burned 231 calories Max HR was 167, then I did HiiT 40/20 30 minutes and burned 294 calories Max HR was 294 calories. I did an extra 5 minutes of w/up and some foam roller before I started 30 calories. My legs were tight. I hae domes in my glutes and hamstrings from yesterdays Rachel workout. Total calories burned this morning was 555 and workout was 63 minutes. I lowered the step on the jumps on and off the step. I feel some doms from yesterday's Rachel Cosgroves workout. My glutes and hamstrings are sore. I think the bulgarian split squats were hard on my knees Might hae to come up with something else.

Theresa, 40/20 is tough. I lowered the step some too when they raised the height. I think last time I did that one I also lowered from 8 to 6 inch for the rest of it. Hope I don't pay for that.

Linda, it has been so long since I have done B&G that I hardly remember the exercises on it.

Hey maniacs! Happy Friday! ....and we have a 3 day weekend! Whoo Hoo! Workouts are going great! I really like the back/bi/abs workout Olesya designed. I did that yesterday and had a killer workout!

Rocked my pull-ups 4 x 10
Standing Cable Rows...190# (up 10)
T-Bar Rows (on machine) 65#
1 Arm Cable Rows...95# (up 10)....I love this exercise!
21's....I did all 3 sets at 45# bb...killer! LOVE the pump I get from this!
1 Arm Preacher Curls....Olesya kept this in my program from last time but changed reps from 6 to 14!!!!! I felt strong doing them with 30# but now I'm down to 20#....especially after 21's!

Linda....I love B & G. No matter how much I think I have progressed with legs every time I do that workout it burns! I love firewalkers!

Okay from the sound of things it seems like Cathe's new cardio series is pretty intense!

Hello! TGIF, indeed. And Monday off, too boot! Yesssss! Lots of stuff to do, though. Today's workout was yoga class, and hour and a half. I'm going to get my mom a yoga vid as part of her bday prezzie, and while doing so, I believe I shall order one for myself, too! I'm going to get one of Cathe's new cardios, I think the circuit one, but maybe the circuit/abs one....yay!

Diane Sue - is that foam roller dvd with Lawrence Biscotti worth getting?
