Loved it again! I went to the Chiropractor and feel awesome. Since I have compacted disc in my lower back I hung up side down at the end and he adjusted me! Wow it was great. I am going to buy an inversion system that I hang from my hips to relieve the pain in my lower back. If I do it for 3 minutes a day my back pain can go away. I tried the Cannabis ointment on my back today and liked it. It really helps with the pain and inflammation. I just purchased some Hemp oil on Amazon to try and it says its good for sleep and anxiety too.

You all had some great workouts today. Its 80 degrees here this week so I plan on walking outside this week before my ski trip. I am laying off the weights till I get back later next week. I don't want to hurt myself and then be in pain on my vacation.

Have a lovely day!
 
Jolie, the inversion system sounds like a good idea. What are you going to do with the hemp oil? Internal or external use? I use hemp seeds in some of my smoothie bowls and salads. It is probably a good idea to lay off the weights for now.

Roselyn, nice work with the live workout.
 
Today I did Run Fit by Candace and had a great workout. Haven't done this one in a long time and I did great with it. My calves are really tight lately, I need to start doing some extra stretching.

Workout was 52 minutes, went 3.75 miles, burned 440 calories (TM said 490) and went 7495 steps. Avg. HR 141 and Max 192.

Does anyone know what illness Candace has? I need to go to her website and see. On this workout she says she has a condition with worsening symptoms and pain and I know she's not making workouts anymore. So sad.

DOZ - Yes, I still do Cardio Coach and I still love them. I miss Sean too, such a shame all that happened. Nice job on your workouts!!

Jolie - Nice job on your workout. My DH has an inversion table and he loves it. He has back issues and that really helps him when he uses it. I tried it but hated how the blood rushed to my head, it made me dizzy and nauseous so that is not for me.

Diane Sue - You are killing it with those workouts, nice job. My ribs only hurt with certain exercises, it's really weird. I'm definitely getting them x-rayed next week, I already have an order in to get it done.

Roselyn - Nice job on your workout!! Kicking butt and taking names!
 
Afternoon

Today’s workout, Cardio Coach “press play & MIS Abs. Headed out to Walmart to find a kettlebell that weigh less than 15 lbs. Tomorrow I have Art of Strength on rotation, and 15 lbers a bit to heavy, got to build up to that. 1 week left of Meso 1, moving on I vowed that I was going to complete all three cycles.

Debbie - Candances, nice work.

Roselyn, Jolie and Diane Sue, hello, I will check back later.
 
Today I woke up feeling really good, first time in a while. I walked outside, 5.5 miles, 1 hour 40 minutes and I burned 891 calories. I walked fast the entire time and got a kick butt workout in for my legs. I love walking hills.

Debbie,
good job on the running today! I cant wait to order my inversion system, hopefully that will help in the long run.

Diane Sue, I ordered the Hemp drops that go under your tongue. I will also order the ointment to rub on my lower back, my dad is going to try it for his shoulder pain as well.

DOZ, nice job on the cardio workout today! TJMAXX has good deals on kettlebells.

Roselyn, I hope you have a great workout today.

Have a nice day.
 
Went to Kohl’s in Macedonia found some nice deals Then Walmart brought everything I needed for my grandkids and things I didn’t need. How the heck I leave without a kettlebell; didn’t think about it until I was on the freeway headed back home, that’s was the main reason I went, duh Now I got to use the 15 lber,

Jolie- I LOVE walking can’t wait until Ohio weather change. Nice workout, and nice calorie burn.

Roselyn - hello now I got go investigate Cathe’s Metabolic workout lol. Nice job I’m sure it was a doozy.

Enjoy your day everyone, got 2 grands 3 small dogs over, and 3 more grands coming tomorrow
 
This morning I did Cardio Shred, cardio only mix, I was going to do a Z cut cardio, really wanted something that was quick and I knew exactly how long it was going to take. The Z Cuts are taking a bit of time as I write down some notes on each that I am tucking in the holders with each. So, after the first round I stop and make notes. I will do the cardio another day. Maybe tomorrow with a strength. That depends on my energy levels :)

DOZ, I forgot to mention that I have 4 of the AOS kettlebell workouts. They are good workouts. Sorry that you forgot the kettlebell. I have two of several of the weight increments in my kettlebells and one 10#because I have a cardio kettlebell workout that is fast paced and it just works best for that, and one 35# It seems I use the 20 and 25# ones the most. It depends on what move I am doing with it. When I do Kelly Coffey's Build and Burn Kickbox Kettlebell Fusion I generally wear 1.5# gloves and use a 15# kettlebell. I am sure that you will have fun with the grandchildren this weekend. My family is all coming over on Sunday after church. I am cooking and preparing for it and the Easter goodies :)

Debbie, it really does sound like it would be a good idea to get the ribs x rayed. At least you would know what it is and maybe give insight on how to deal with it.

Jolie, great calorie burn for that walk.

Roselyn, I hope you had a good workout today.
 
Today I did a total body workout, I had an excellent workout and love this one!!

Workout was 35 minutes, burned 229 calories. Avg HR was 122 and Max was 169.

Then yesterday when I was searching for information on Candace Grasso, I found she has workouts on Youtube. I seen one called Ripped Abs II and did this workout with my new TV that streams awesomely! It was a tough workout but probably only because I haven't done abs in a while. This was 6 minutes long. She has a Ripped Abs I out there as well but it was 14 minutes and I didn't want to do it just yet, maybe next week. Fun stuff, you all should look it up and do it, it was a great ab workout.

Then I walked on my treadmill at an incline of 2%. Did that for 40 minutes, went 2 miles, burned 219 calories and went 4879 steps. Avg HR was 86 and Max was 136.

Nice workouts yesterday everyone! I don't have time for personals today as I have a lot to do before church at 3. Hopoe you all have a very blessed Easter!!

Roselyn, you seem to be really liking the Yvette Bachman workouts :)

Doz, do you watch your grandchildren every day? I used to do that and run them to and from school. I would get up very early to workout and do all of the transporting and taking care of the small ones. Now I just keep them occasionally. One daughter is homeschooling. Most of the grandchildren are driving and graduated or graduating this year. I have 3 younger ones. Two are home schooled. My daughter was teaching and stopped and has been homeschooling since her little one was born almost 4 years ago. She may go back into some sort of teaching job soon. I watch my 7 year old grandson summers when school is out.
 
Today was my rest day and family day. Church then family gathering and dinner.

Doz, that was a long workout :) I remember Reebok Step with Gin Miller. It was fun.
