Where is everyone?
Today I am so sore from yesterday's workout that I decided to do Yoga Stretch. It felt good and was much needed.
Have a great Friday everyone!

Debbie, I guess I forgot to post. I did a shorter workout and we took our Dogs and a load of things to my daughters. Trying to finish up moving out since we close on our home in a few days.
Yesterday I did Kelly Coffey Shape Up Cardio only mix, 32 minute, 321 calories. I really like this a lot. The whole workout is done in 8 rounds tabata style. I then did Intensity Timesaver Low Hiit and Bootcamp skipping the warm up 30 minutes, 263 calories. Total time 62 minutes and calories burned 584. I will come back and report today's workout.

This morning I did Amy's Body Box. I really enjoy this one. She is her usual self in putting in some interesting moves, 72 minutes 700 calories. I followed this with Flex Train skipping the warm up and core, 42 minutes, 317 calories. Total time was 1 hr 43 min and calories burned 917. Tomorrow the movers are coming so I have to get things finished put together.

I wanted to start Xtrain today but I haven't received the workouts yet. I'm supposed to get them today. I decided to do Gym Style Chest and Triceps because I have a feeling the Xtrain workouts are similar to Gym Style. I could be wrong, but the description sounds a lot like Gym Style.
I listened to my body, went fairly light and didn't do all the exercises for fear of irritating my rotator cuff/neck and upper back. Good lord, you would think I was 80 years old!
This is what I did:
Pushups - Only did three of the drop sets. Stopped at the 12 reppers
Dumbbell Bench Press - 20's - 3 sets/12 reps
Dumbbell Flyes - 15's - 3 sets/12 reps
Incline Dumbbell Bench Press - 15's - 2 sets/12 reps
Skipped the Incline Flyes.
Close Grip Bench Press - 40# - 2 sets/10 reps no bonus
Skipped Dips
Dumbbell Lying Extension - 8's - 2 sets/8 reps
***Back in 2008 I was using 15's for this workout. OMG. What was I thinking? No wonder I injured myself!
Seated Overhead Extension - 15# - 2 sets/12 reps
Cross-Body Extenstion - 8# - 2 sets/12 reps each side
***Back in 2008 I used 12# for this exercise. Wow. I was insane! I honestly don't know how I did that!
Cross-Body Extension w/Band - Pink Band
Skipped both kickback exercises. These irritate my upper back so I decided not to do them.
That is it. Had a good stretch and feel pretty good. I'm shocked at the weights I used doing this workout. With Close Grip Bench Press I was up to 60#. For Flyes I was using 20's and 25's. No wonder my rotator cuff bothers me.
Stupid. I wish I would have worked out with more sense back then, but back then I was strong and felt good doing heavy lifting. Now I'm paying for it.
Oh well, what can you do!
Sorry about the comments. Just thinking out loud here...

No workouts Saturday and Sunday. We were moving things and travelling. This morning I did X Train All Out Low Impact Hiit floor and disc cardio and followed it with X Train Super Cuts with Core #1. Workout was 85 minutes, 570 calories.
Debbie, I am trying to train smarter on the weights. I have found doing the Gym Styles with the tubing for shoulder work and back has caused quite a bit of neck pain. It causes so much tension in the area no matter how much I try to be careful.

Today I did Cardio Coach #1. Had a pretty good workout. I like this one, it's quick and fairly an easy one for me to do. I was too tired to do anything tougher this morning.
Workout was 40 minutes total, ran 2.25 miles and burned about 328 calories.
I got Xtrain yesterday. I haven't had time to preview it, but plan to do that when I get home from work. I'm impressed with all that is in that workout set. Cathe went all out on this one and for the price I think it's a steal. I cannot wait to watch the workouts. The cardio looks high impact as usual so I don't know how much I'll be doing those, but the weight workouts look awesome!
Diane Sue - I agree, tube and band work irritate me as well. The burn is what gets me, my muscles don't seem to like that anymore. I am always really careful when using the bands.
I see we lost Teddy again.

Today I did Pedal Power Extreme mix, 73 minutes, 648 calories. 18 miles. Nothing else. Things have been pretty busy lately. I am trying to get a t shirt quilt done for my granddaughters graduation in May.
Debbie, there are premixes and chapters on X train that are not so much impact. I think you will find parts of the cardio that are not so much impact in X Train. The weight workouts are really good.
Yes, it seems Teddy wasn't here long.

Today I did Gym Style Back, Shoulders and Biceps and had a great weekend. I'm going to start Xtrain next week but next week will only be a 3 day workout due to work stuff going on early on two work days. I'm bummed. I'm going to do the Bi's and Tri's workout and the Chest, Shoulders and Back one. Then I'll probably do a Cardio Coach workout.

Had fun with this one.
Diane Sue - I watched a few workouts yesterday and they look awesome. I watched a Tabata one and I may be able to do a few of those. I'll try them at least, they look fun.

Today I used the Tread Climber for 32 minutes, 337 calories, max HR 164. I then did X Train Burn Sets, Triceps, Back, Shoulders, and Stretch 45 minutes, 234 calories. I had to adjust a few moves because I did not have a step or substitute. I just did standing reverse flies and bench stuff was on the floor. I need to pull my bench out of storage or air up a stability ball (which takes up space) to do the incline work on biceps. I am trying to figure out how to get in everything.
Debbie, even the step only on Tabatacise is really a good workout. Some of the tabatas are more doable than others. I use my rebounder a lot for things like flying jacks and tuck jumps.
