Hardcore Fitness Maniacs February 2026!

This morning I did Iron 20 - Superset Arms, Abs and Core. LOL, I was just complaining about her not doing much biceps and this is a biceps workout. But she really doesn't work biceps that much in this series. This was an ok workout, I didn't care much for the ab section, she does some really hard ab work and I had to modify or change the exercise. And it went on and on. But I did what I could.

Tricep Dumbbell Press: 20's

Tricep Pushups - FULL

50/50/20 rest

Killer workout, especially the biceps. Hardly any rest through it all.

Have a great weekend everyone!!
 
Yesterday I did Lauren's Cardio Tabata Low Impact Kickboxing 33 minutes, 238 calories, heart rate 139/162 and a increase energy and feel great unmotivated workout using a pilates ball ,23 minutes, 88 calories. Total time 56 minutes, 326 calories.
Today I did Lauren's 1 dumbbell strength workout back, biceps, hips focus 35 minutes, and Japanese walk workout that does intervals of slower, moves and faster versions adding in arms. There was about 5 minutes of a CDorner hiit workout which I stopped at down to the floor plank. I did not separate them so total time was 72 minutes, 386 calories, 4,226 steps.

Belinda, I have not received my dvds yet. I did not order downloads this time. I looked at the exercises in the workout manager.

Great jobs on the workouts.
 
Friday's workout was 4 miles of walking the pup. Today I did Body Beast Bulk Shoulders and had an excellent workout. I could not get my Ript90 Shoulders DVD to load to save my life, so I did Body Beast and I am glad that I did. Wow, I love these workouts so much, traditional lifting exercises with NO fluff. My Shoulders are going to be "talking to me" tomorrow! I did not go really heavy since I have not done a heavy workout in a while and I did not want to pull a muscle or hurt my back. I still felt the burn anyway.

Great job with the workouts everyone. Sunny and warm today, I am going shopping to an outside mall at the beach today with my pup. I want some fresh air, and he loves all of the dogs he gets to visit with, and they have the best dog treats in the stores!

Make it a great day!
 
Hi,

I didn’t sleep well last night. I been dragging all day. I did managed to do a short Pilates for the hip. Resting now.

Diane - I haven’t received my dvd. I ordered both. I need to recheck my downloads they keep freezing. Could be also the strong winds we are having. I am mirror image to my TV. Glad you enjoy Lauren’s workouts.

Great job on. Your workouts everyone.
 
Yesterday, I did Lauren's Energizing Interval walking 24 minutes, 125 calories, heart rate 115/165 heart rate, 2,141 step and Power Pilates 35 minutes 88 calories. 59 minutes, 213 calories, 2,255 steps total. I used the pilates setting on my Garmin and I bet the calorie burn would have been more just using cardio. No workout today. I have a busy week next week.

Debbie, nice work on Super Sets arms, abs, and core. I think we do get in a lot of biceps with most upper body workouts. There was another instructor that I remember saying they did not do biceps much because it was not needed. I cannot remember who it was. It was a lot of years ago.

Jolie, good job on the walking the pup and Body Beast Bulk Shoulders.

Belinda good job getting in pilates yesterday and today's On Demand Dance and Zoom pilates class. My dvds should be here tomorrow.

Roselyn, good job on the rebounder and today's legs workout.
 
Hi,

I have PT this afternoon. I didn’t wanted to overdue it. They do work my hip/hamstring/core.

Diane - well done on Lauren's Energizing Interval walking and Power Pilates. My DVD’s came today.

Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me.

Roxie, nice job on the walk and getting some sunshine.
