Hardcore Fitness Maniacs August 2025

Hi,

Today I went for a walk outside with DH and Sadie. I also did CL# 10 Upper body sculpting. I loved it. It was high reps. Cathe did 3 rounds before she moved on to the next body part. No rushing.

Debbie - great job on RAW Upper Sculpt/Lower Tone . Thank you! I will keep the Cleveland Clinic or UH in Cleveland in mind. I been reading the autio book How not to Die from Dr. Gregor. Pretty interesting.

Diane - great job on your workout. I always research everything to find answers. If I had a 3mm brain aneurysm they would rushed me to the hospital right away. Mine is 2mm. I was highly advised to follow my doctors orders not getting hit/or have a spike in blood pressure in my head. I am following all my doctor’s orders. My Neurologist isn’t taking it easy, he is the one sending me to Neurosurgeon. My husband is aware on what symptoms to look for in case I have a rupture. The survival rate if you have a rupture isn’t good.


Jolie - I forgot to mention, I found a magnesium lotion. I bought it for my sore muscles.

Good night.

Today(or Should I say yesterday) was my birthday. I did Gloved Up and Sweaty, 40 minutes, 191 calories, heart rate 109/144, 3,188 steps. I finished with CDorner Upper Body mobility stretch using a chair, 17 minutes, 43 calories. 57 minutes total, 208 calories. I did not do the low impact burpees. I am just getting better in the chest and rib area after doing yoga with too many planks and down dogs from CDorner a couple of days ago. I wish it didn't set off the costochondritis symptoms like that. I have been using a heating pad.

Debbie, great job on Raw Upper Sculpt Lower Tone. I looked today over the set up. I didn't see the 14 minute yoga stretch I like or I would have done it today. I like to see the results and the trackers do help motivate. Plus I like getting notifications on mine when I leave my cell in the house or am working out. I track my heart and stuff as well and log my blood pressure so I have it all in My Net Diary as well. I should write down which category the workouts are in on the work sheets in my notebook.

Roselyn, nice work on leg day.

Belinda, nice that you got in a walk and CL #10 Upper Body Sculpting. I know ruptures can be fatal. I remember someone taking their father to the medical center to get something checked and he had a rupture in the parking lot and did not survive. I will be glad when this is taken care of for you.
 
This morning I got on my treadmill and did a fast, uphill climb. Well, sort of fast. Had a great workout. It is COLD here!! OMG, we went from 90 degrees with 100% humidity to 50 and no humidity in just a couple of days. Its crazy. I love this weather, though. It feels like fall - my favorite time of year.

Workout was 50 minutes, burned 379 calories, went 2.4 miles, did 5870 steps and HR was 129/162.

Roselyn - Nice job with leg day!

Belinda - CL #10 sounds super fun. I sort of wish I have a subscription to the live streaming I'm just not sure how much I'd use it. I might have to look into it again.

Diane - HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! How old are you now? I can't believe I will be 60 next year, doesn't seem possible. That is what I'm doing, noting on all my workout sheets where the workouts are on Kelly's YT playlists. It helps. Sometimes there are some workouts in more than one category, too. Which stretch workout? I just looked under the Floor work/Other and I don't see a stretch that is 17 minutes long. Do you remember the name of it?

Have a great day and workout everyone!!

Hi,

I had an echocardiograms this morning. I hope I will get the results soon.

I did a dance workout OnDemand today and stretching. I needed a lower body stretch. I am super tired, I couldn’t sleep last night to save my life. I wasn’t nervous, just couldn’t sleep. I try not to stress. I been enjoying audio books lately. I finished listen to the book this morning while getting ready for my appointment. I already started a new one, lol. Audio books are great waiting at the doctors office.

Debbie - great job on your TM walk. It got cold here too. Later afternoon, it’s hot outside. Cathe is offering a lot of great deals lately. Maybe she will have another great deal on Cathe Live. If I see it, I will let you know.

Good night.

Chris did some of the stretches in a bit more of a detailed angles. My legs did not want to go the way she was going and me able to not want to lean sideways. I just adjusted for comfort as I was afraid I was going to twist wrong or my knee come out of joint. I skipped the feet up the wall or just relax at the end.

Belinda, thank for the birthday wishes. I hope you get those results quickly too. I never sleep well when I have appointments and things the next day. I guess just some anticipation of getting up and out the door to get it over with. The prednisone has made sleeping off for me. I have never used audio books. I just read on my devices. I think I would have a hard time absorbing what I read and have to keep going back to hear it again. I read on my cell or play word with friends with my daughter and an old friend from here, while I am sitting waiting for appointments. My Samsung earbuds never seem to want to stay in my ears. Nice work on the Live Dance workout on demand and stretch today.

Debbie, nice work on the treadmill climbs. It has been cooler here too. Rainy the last few days. My dog is more than happy getting me outside in the rain to play ball. He could care less about storms. We have had a pretty mild summer with quite a bit of rain. Nicer than the scorching 100+ degree drought weather. The aging sure does creep up. I am 73 now and it doesn't seem possible, but then I watch my children hitting their 50's. I went over a lot of the play lists and I did not see that stretch on it. It was just called yoga stretch and was 14 minutes, I think. It was quick and no weird stuff. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Roselyn, thanks for the birthday wishes. Nice work on chest today.
