Good morning,

I have a live zoom Pilates for core today.

Diane - the therapist doesn’t think PT will heal the tear. I hope she is wrong. The motion in the lower body is aggravating the pain. I hope we have warm weather coming in soon. I am done with the cold. Sorry you outside a lot in the cold. Stay warm. Great job on your shoulder workout. Impressive weights.

I will catch up on personals. BBL

Today I did not know what to do for a workout, so I ended up doing STS Meso 1 Disc #2 Back and Triceps and had an excellent workout. On the weekends I can get into my gym room and use my cable machine so I like to do Back with this device if I can. Also, with doing STS, I can do two upper body workouts per week and hit the muscle really hard if I lift heavy and that works out perfect for me right now. I love Cathe's older workouts so much more than any of her newer workouts. I also have so many DVDs that i need to start using them again, why not!

Belinda, excellent job on the workouts this weekend. I love Strong Upper Body and Core, I must have done that one at least 20 times!

What a beautiful day today! 80 degrees and it makes me happy. I just love wearing shorts in January and it is a rare occasion! Have a wonderful day.
 
Hi,

Today was Pilates Full body with the band.

Jolie - fantastic job with M1 D2. I hope I can start STS soon. Love this series. I have never done Strong Upper Body and Core. I loved it. I will defiantly do that one again. Time went by quickly too.

Roselyn - great job with your Leg workout. I hope you right about hitting 40’s soon. I can’t wait.

Where is Debbie and Diane?

Have a great workout and day, everyone.
 
Wow February!! Come on, we just need to get through this month and March and we should be in the home stretch for this horrible cold winter! I'm ready for it to end.

This morning I did Iron 17 - All Upper Body and had a great workout. I skipped Iron 16 because it was dedicated to only hamstrings. I don't need my hamstrings to get pulled tight again and I just don't see the need to work that body part only. It gets enough work with all the leg workouts she does.

She does dips as a Staple exercise throughout, I just did different triceps exercises because if freakin' hate dips.

60/30

Chest Press: 25's - 2 sets
Staple: Skull Crushers: 12's - 30 seconds

Pullovers: 25# - 2 sets
Staple: Skull Crushers: 12's - 30 seconds

Landmine Rows: 30# - 2 sets
Staple: Overhead Tricep Extension: 15# - 30 seconds

Arnold Press: 15's - 2 sets
Staple: Overhead Tricep Extension: 15# - 30 seconds

Lateral Raise to Front Arc: 8's - 2 sets (killer)
Staple: Close Grip Press: 15's - 30 seconds

Partial Rear Delt Raise: (I did Hammer Curls w/Twist): 15's - 2 sets
Staple: Close Grip Press: 15's - 30 seconds

Finisher - 60 seconds
Around the World - 5's This is holding dumbbells with palms forward and taking the weights in an arc out to your sides and then over your head. Killer!!!

Workout was 40 minutes, burned 188 calories and HR was 102/134.

I don't have time for personals but great job on your workouts!!!

She does a warmup with the band doing slow walks back and forth for 60 seconds

Sumo Squats: 30# - 2 sets

Banded Only Hip Thrusts: 2 sets
Band Hip Thrusts, Hold (holy Mother of God!)

Banded Lateral Walk - 60 seconds
Banded Squats - 60 seconds

By this time I couldn't feel my legs, I'm not kidding. This was intense. She is coo coo for cocoa puffs!! LOL!

Workout was 44 minutes, burned 139 (really?), HR was 86/118 (really). This is what bums me out about these workouts. I am working hard and hardly burning any calories. I know, I'm burning it all day long, but still...

I'm sorry everyone, I don't have time for personals. I am knee deep in Solo & Ensemble and have a Math Mania event tomorrow. Crazy!!
