This morning I did Fit Split Cardio Shred cardio timesaver, 29 minutes, heart rate average 141, max 168, 208 calories, met 6.5, 2,697 steps. I then did the Fit Split Low Impact Cardio, 27 minutes, heart rate average 127, max 162, 179 calories, met 6.0, 1,929 steps. I finished off with Kelly Coffey Body Design Yoga, 13 minutes, 37 calories. Total time 69 minutes, 424 calories. I have come to the conclusion that I do not find these cardio workouts fun. The time seemed to drag by. I should have done Kelly's Live Amped up cardio that I had in mind to do this morning. I just thought since I did weighted kickboxing yesterday, I should do something else. Originally I was going to just stop at the gliding discs on the low impact workout but ended up just pushing through it. Maybe it was just my mood, because I really wasn't feeling much of anything this morning. My husband stayed up all night doing paper work and I think it disrupted my sleep. I kept waking up wondering why he hadn't come to bed. Also it started pouring rain and now we have ice and rain. I could hear it pelting the sunroom that is off our bedroom and living room.

Today I had the BEST workout. I made a combo cardio and weights workout using my elliptical and lifting weights one body part exercise to failure alternating with cardio. Workout was 54 minutes including warm up and cool down and I burned 521 calories! My average heart rate was 127 and my max was 171! I did an interval style workout on the elliptical, 2 minutes at a high incline with high resistance to where I could barely make the 2 minutes, to a lower incline, lower resistance for recovery. Awesome workout!

Lying Triceps Ext- 8# x 33 TF

I traveled 3.2 miles!
Debbie, listen to your body and rest. There are some terrible sicknesses going around. Also, lack of sunshine during the winter is hard on the body. Good job getting some kind of workout in anyway. After a good nights sleep you will probably feel better.
Diane Sue, Sorry about the poor nights sleep. I am worthless the next day if I don't sleep well. Good job on getting in the yoga today! I love stretching lately, it feels so good. I made turkey chili yesterday with avocados on the top and it was delicious. My neighbor is on the Keto diet and has lost 30 pounds, I am trying lower card instead.
Roselyn, I hope you have a great workout today!
Have a wonderful day!

Jolie, that workout looks fun. I love Kelly's Home Gym Intervals and using my spin bike and weights. I have done hers before with 15# kettlebells instead of weights and the Tread Climber. There are a lot of fun ways to do a gym cardio equipment circuit workout 
I made a white chicken chili last week, with lots left over in bowls that I froze. I put avocado on top. It is yummy. No beans in it at all as it is a Paleo recipe. I am going to have some for dinner. I ate some orange chicken from Fast and Easy Whole 30 for lunch today and had a kids RX bar for a post workout snack.

Today I did another Total Body workout and had a great one workout. Another tough one and good calorie burn. Loving this!!
Warmed up with Xtrain Biceps & Triceps.
Pullovers: 25#/12 reps
Lateral Raise: 10's/12 reps
Incline Barbell Bench Press: 60#/12 reps
Leg Press Station: 135#/12 reps (My right knee did not like this)
Lying Barbell Extension: 30#/12 reps
Hammer Curls: 20's/12 reps (these were tough)
Repeated 3 more times so a total of 4 sets, no rest except a couple minutes between doing the rotation over again.
I then did 4 sets of Hanging Leg Raises separate from the workout above. Should have added it into the rotation but didn't think about it until after the workout was done. Wanted to do some abs.
Workout was 41 minutes, burned 250 calories. Avg HR was 121 and Max was 175 and it felt like it!
Walked on my treadmill for 1 miles, burned an additional 115 calories and went 2462 steps. Avg HR was 99 and Max was 128.
Jolie - Holy crap!!! Excellent workout yesterday!!! Did you do that as a circuit too? Wow, I bet you will be feeling that today. Nice job!! I felt fine yesterday, I guess my body just didn't want to run. It was weird.
Diane Sue - Sorry you don't like the Fit Split cardios that much, bummer. I hate doing workouts that drag on. Nice job getting it done, though.
Roselyn - Hope you are doing well.

Today I did Cardio Coach 3 and had a much better workout than Tuesday. I had a stellar run and felt really good. Fun workout!!
Workout was 40 minutes, ran 2.84 miles, burned 319 calories (TM said 393) and went 5816 steps. Avg HR was 132 and Max was 198.
I did the stretch part of Butts & Guts - good stretch and the music was really pretty. Very relaxing and much needed.
Diane Sue - I checked out the stability ball workout from B&G and after watching it remembering not liking it too much. I hate those roll ins, I never feel them and she does a lot of supermans on it as well. So that answers my question. LOL!! Nice workout yesterday! Nice weights!
Jolie - Hope you enjoyed your rest day, you deserved it!! Have a great one today, can't wait to see what you do.
Have a great day!!

Today is Total Body workout #3, week 3. I loved it! 3 rounds of the circuit, 8 reps but on the last round I got to failure. I warmed up to STS #13 disc. Workout was 38 minutes and I burned 258 calories. Average heart rate was 115 and max was 157. I don't go heavy on legs because they will get too bulky. I just do higher reps lower weight instead. I used only DB's.
Incline Chest Press- 27# x 8, x 8, x 15 TF
1 Arm Horizontal Rows- 20# x 8, x 8, x 12 TF
Incline Front Raise- 12# x 8 (too heavy so I dropped to) 10# x 8, x 12 TF

I'm done! Feeling good too!
Debbie, Way to go on the run today. Don't you just love to have a good cardio session! I have to add more cardio each week to help burn this fat! LOL
Diane Sue- I hope you have a great workout today! What do you recommend for severe stress. It just seems to consume me. When you have no control over what is going wrong in your family it is just killing me. I feel so overwhelmed and sometimes find it hard to breath. Thank goodness for my workouts. I am taking a lot of B vitamins, anything else you can think of?
Roselyn, I hope you are enjoying your workouts and I hope your uncles funeral was nice. I am sure he will be missed.
Have a wonderful day.

Today I did Kelly's Build and Burn Kickbox Kettlebell fusion, 25 minutes, 166 calories, met 5.8, 1,672 steps average heart rate 131, max 158. I then did Fit Split Boxing Bootcamp timesaver mix #2 kickboxing + bonus abs, 47 minutes, 311 calories, met 5.9, heart rate 127 average, max 158, 3,288 steps. I finished off with Suzanne Bowen's Barre Amped relaxation stretch 14 minutes, 31 calories. Total time was 87 minutes, 503 calories. I kept out a 15# and a 20# kettlebell, as when I do moves that affect the shoulders like overhead press I prefer using the 15#. I use 20# for the swings and lawnmowers.
Debbie, I never minded that ab workout other than the superman moves. When I did it my low back was already sore so it was not a good choice. I wish they had some music like in the older workouts on these newer ones. Nice work on cardio coach today
Jolie, nice workout today. You know stress, can just mess up your fitness goals and everything. Extra sleep is very important, which is not easy when under stress and anxiety. The B vitamins are a good idea. You might work on eliminating caffeine, alcohol, and sugar. They are all things that increase depression and anxiety. They also mess with your sleep. I drink decaf coffee. I recently am trying some Crio Bru ground cacao beans , blending with some decaf coffee. It is helping me drink it black. I love cream too much. So far that does not seem to affect my sleep and heart rate. You could try an adptogenic herb like ashwaghanda and/ or lions mane mushroom. I have bought Four Sigmatic packets with lions mane coffee or just the plain stuff and mixed it into some decaf. Most of the mushroom's help sleep to some extent. Reishi helps sleep and anxiety. It is bitter tasting. I didn't like how it made me feel though and was wiped out. I react to meds quickly and I have to start anything with only a tiny bit. You can get these in individual servings just to try out. Or something like Amazing grass immunity which has some cordyceps mushroom and ashwaghanda in it along with 1000 mg of vitamin c. It is my favorite tasting greens powder. Paradise Greens has quite a few adaptogens along with ashwaghanda and several of the mushrooms included. I go for something like that over the individual stuff. I took the lions mane for several months and it helped the nerve damage in my neck. L-theanine amino acid is supposed to help with anxiety and stress. It is included in nootropics. I am kind of afraid of using too much of those though. Anyway, my advice would be to add one of the better greens powders, your B vitamins, and cut out the things I mentioned above. I have been there before. I would lie awake with my heart feeling like it was shaking the bed, I was so stressed out and exhausted. Prayer and scripture at night for me now. I shut own the computer at least an hour before I go to bed and read, and play word with friends Something that is calming.

Diane Sue, great workout today! Thank you for all of the information about me stress. I am sleeping well but during the day I have anxiety attacks so bad I have even gone to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack. My doctor has checked me out completely and assure me that I am not in danger. However, I do need to get this stress under control. Thank you for taking the time to write it all down for me, it is very helpful.

Today I started with Build and Burn Tabata Legs, 29 minutes, 169 calories, met 4.8, heart rate average 105, max 138, 1,115 steps. I then did Fit Split legs and glutes timesaver mix#3 skipping all but 2 minutes of the warm up, 32 minutes, 165 calories, met 4.7, hert rate average 105, max 130, 1,063 steps. Total time was 61 minutes, 334 calories Neither workout has rests between sets , so move fairly fast. I am still contemplating how I want to do upper tomorrow as I would like a bit of cardio tomorrow as well. I have two birthday cakes to make and decorate tomorrow and birthday dinner and decorating. I guess I will see what I accomplish today. I think the roads are better and we are above freezing so I need to make a couple of errand trips. I did look and if I do single sets from push and pull on fit split and Kelly's doing 1 warm up, I think I could get all of the upper in in less than an hour. Maybe a short cardio afterward I will see.

Thanks for all of the ideas for my stress. I never thought raising children would be so hard. My oldest is so easy and my youngest is so hard. But, I know God gives you what you can handle. I will be looking into all of your suggestions and start tackling this issue head on.
Debbie, nice job on the full body workout. I have to add in Upright Rows next week, I have forgotten about them. I am going to preview some dvds this weekend and look for some new exercises to incorporate into my workout.
Diane Sue, Wow great workout today. Boy it is cold where you live. It is supposed to get to 38 degrees tonight, that will be the first time this year the temps have dropped this low at night.
Roselyn, I have never done oh my glutes. That must be a new workout, I cant wait to do Cathe Live again.
Have a nice day.

Thanks for all of the ideas for my stress. I never thought raising children would be so hard. My oldest is so easy and my youngest is so hard. But, I know God gives you what you can handle. I will be looking into all of your suggestions and start tackling this issue head on.
Debbie, nice job on the full body workout. I have to add in Upright Rows next week, I have forgotten about them. I am going to preview some dvds this weekend and look for some new exercises to incorporate into my workout.
Diane Sue, Wow great workout today. Boy it is cold where you live. It is supposed to get to 38 degrees tonight, that will be the first time this year the temps have dropped this low at night.
Roselyn, I have never done oh my glutes. That must be a new workout, I cant wait to do Cathe Live again.
Have a nice day.

Roselyn, someday I want to get a month of the live workouts again. I just always seem to have so many dvds that I want to do
Jolie, you will get through all of this. I raise 3 children and each was different. My heart goes out to you. As mothers I think we all worry, and if the child becomes rebellious and stubborn it makes life miserable while you are trying to help correct where they are heading. You can only do so much. I guarantee, when he feels that he really needs help the first person he will go to is you. You are doing the best that you can, cherish the good moments and know that you can only be there for him and that a lot is up to him. Many teenagers hit that age where all they can think of is getting out of the house and freedom, only to find out it is not what they thought it would be.
Nice workout today. I like how you added the finishers

Saturday I took a rest day. Today I started Week 4 of my Full Body Workout. I did the same weights as week 3 but went up in reps by 2. Today was one circuit x 10 reps per set, 3 rounds with no rest. I also added cardio in at the end to get the calorie burn up. I will be adding the cardio in all this week. I used DB's for all of the exercises minus the leg extensions.
Chest Press - 27# x 10 ( 3 rounds of this circuit )
1 Arm Rows- 30# x 10
Upright Rows- 17# x 10
Bicep Curls- 17# x 10
Lying Triceps ext.- 17# x 10
Leg Ext.- 60# x 14
Plie Squats- 12# x 16
Calories burned- 176
Cardio-
Elliptical- 15 minutes, Interval mode ( 2 minutes each interval) 1.5 miles, 186 calories
Powerstrike 5 - warm up and punches only- 1# gloves, 151 calories
Total calorie burn was 513. 118 avg, 176 max heart rate.
Diane Sue, that was an awesome workout you did yesterday, there were so many exercises.
