Hardcore Fitness Maniacs Februar 2025

Yesterday I walked the pup 3.5 miles in the morning and 1.6 miles in the afternoon. Today I did Cathe STS 2.0 Upper Body 1 and had a great workout till I got a low back spasm while doing Bicep curls. Why!!!! So, I stopped and got down and stretched for about 10 minutes and I was able to continue with the workout, though I went with lite weights for the remainder of the workout. Still got in a great workout anyway. Walking hills is tough on the hamstrings, hip flexors and low back. I do stretch everyday now both mornings and evenings, but I still have a lot of tightness. I have to do hills since I live in the hills. I do have a path that I can get to with flat ground, I try to do that more and more. I am frustrated with my back to say the least. I believe I will be ok, not a structural but soft tissue issue.

Can you believe that we have 80 degrees here next week! We are getting very little winter, it is crazy.

Debbie, great job with the workouts the past two days. I love walking even on the TM, makes me happy for some reason. Does it do the same for you?

Diane Sue, if my back is good to go this weekend, I plan on doing Lite Pyramid Pump, the entire workout. Great job on your workout.

Belinda, great job on the UB workout.

Roselyn, nice job on the Chest and Triceps workout.

Make it a great day. No yard work for me today.

This morning I walked on my treadmill, that is all I wanted to do. I didn't have it in me to find a cardio workout from Kelly that wasn't boxing. So I walked.

Workout was 45 minutes, burned 315 calories, went 2.25 miles, did 5359 steps and HR was124/153.

Jolie - No, I can't say walking makes me happy. Now when I go outside to a park and walk, yes, that makes me happy. I read when I walk on my treadmill, it makes the time fly by. Great job with your workout, sorry to hear about your back. That is so frustrating when stuff like that happens. Hope it's better today.

Diane - Great workout yesterday! That is cool that you have so many boxing gloves. The ones I have work well with my stationary bag. I love that thing, wish I could do more heavy bag workouts. I don't like doing it when my DH is home because it's so loud. He was gone the day I did the workout.

Belinda and Roselyn - Great workouts!

Well, gotta go, I am so busy this week. It's going fast!! Have a great day!

Hi,

Today I did JS Lower body. This one was new to me, really liked it. I also did a dance workout early this morning. Not sure, if I get a workout in tomorrow. I have a follow appointment for my eyes, than a mammogram and infusion.

Jolie - nice job on your walk yesterday. Be carful with your hip/back.

Diane - amazing job on Pyramid Upper body. I use Laura Geller eyeshadow kit and make up too.I ordered food from Germany, it is telling me every day it’s coming. I hope it will come today.

Debbie - nice job on your walk today. I am thinking getting a walking pad for day I can’t walk outside. It’s too cold to go outside.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me. Have a great evening.

I got my new TV and set it up. Waiting on the wall mount though as it is late. Today I did CDorner Step and Strength from this week, 52 minutes, 331 calories, heart rate 137/`63. I used 8# dumbbells for the weight segments. It was pretty fast and I dropped to 5's the last part of triceps work as I felt it in my neck?? Chris was using 10# and Natsia was using 8#. I finished with LMR functional yoga timesaver floor, 20 minutes, 41 calories. I also did some back pod and foam roller for upper back. It is late (tomorrow :oops:)heading to bed.
 
Good Afternoon,

We have had 2 other snowstorms one last week and one this week got 4-6 inches both times. I am still messing with the contacts had another fitting this week they still aren’t right. DH went an saw a pulmonologist he has 5 spots on his lungs but they are tiny and don’t look cancerous but he had to have another CT scan and a breathing test this week so my stress levels have been high. We are spending our weekends watching the grandsons play basketball all day last games are March 1st then I host girls weekend on the 8th.

Debbie-workouts are back to being scarce and just walking. We got Charolette Tilbury this week in store and I am in love with her magic cream.

Today I did Raw Lower Lift & Kick, 44 minutes, 160 calories, heart rate 99/127 followed by LMR Lower Body foam rolling bonus(stopped after calf raises) and Pilates fusion timesaver foam roller, 29 minutes, 60 calories. Total time 73 minutes, 220 calories. I got my boxing gloves today. They are nice gloves and really feel like they are protective of the wrists.

Jolie, good job on the walk and yesterday's STS 2 Upper Body 1. Pyramid Pump both workouts is a long workout. I have done it that way, but prefer upper and lower separately. I checked the worksheets and decided not to do the lower body yesterday because it requires gliders, and I did not feel like arranging things to do it in the hallway or drag weights to the carpeted room.

Debbie, nice work on the treadmill walk yesterday. I get bored on exercise equipment. I used to read when I had a treadmill, and it did help the time go by. I cannot do that on the spin bike or tread climber. I have done it on the tread climber, but sometimes I would be reading and missed a foot staying on the treadle or trying to climb without hanging on and finding myself rolling back. It has a place for a phone. I can set my smaller tablet that I have now in one of the pockets for cups or whatever. My husband used to say he could hear me when I was upstairs hitting the heavy on the stand. It was louder because it hung on chains. We got rid of it and he got me the freestanding one with sand in the bottom cause I did not have room for the other. I still do not have a lot of room. I have to move it out into the room a bit to work around it.

Belinda, good job JS lower body that you have not done before and dance. I hope that your appointments went well. I have been buying some Laura Geller products lately. I like the Jelly Balms which I have 3 of. They are more moisturizing on my lips with heaters running a lot and drying me out. I like the eyeliner and clear lip liner I recently go. I use a lot of IT skin care products and foundation, but they are pretty much only making eyeshadow sticks. The sticks fall out of the tubes. The colors in the palate I just got are really nice and has a blush and highlight as well as eyeshadow. I may try some Laura Geller foundation sometime. It is hard to find foundation light enough. I was happy when IT came out with porcelain foundation.

Roxie, I am sorry you are worrying so much. I hope things are all okay with the tests. I am getting a chest CT the 3rd to check my lungs and the lung nodules that I have had for years. At first they had me going every 6 months to make sure nothing changed. My pulmonologist had me do a Pulmonology Function test earlier this month to check that out and see if I maybe had some asthma. It came out fine. They keep an eye on it. Enjoy the time watching grandsons playing basketball.
