Hardcore Fitness Maniacs For August 2015

Today I did Kelly Coffey Muscle Up Full Body weight workout, 67 minutes followed by a You Tube yoga with Kassandra afternoon yoga 13 minutes. Total time was 80 minutes and calories burned 348. There is very little rest through this workout and all dumbbells

Debbie, nice work on squat rack legs. I understand on the front squats. I always felt it in my neck and shoulders if I went very heavy with the bar and I do not have a rack.

Roselyn, enjoy your rest day :)
 
Today I did T 25 Gamma 3.0,28 minutes, 224 calories, followed by X10 Cardio Blast, no warm up, 17 minutes, 109 calories. I finished off with Yoga for tight Hips Kassandra, 35 nutes. Workout was 80 minutes and calories burned 412.
 
Roselyn, I am sorry if I missed a post. As far as Piyo, it would depend on what you are wanting. It is good if you are not expecting to feel like you really worked out hard. Sort of like to me Cathe's Barre workout. You do get strength, you do get some flexibility work and some lower intensity cardio. I would just not expect it to make me gain lots of muscle. It may be a good addition to Body Beast. It is more intense than yoga. It does include the shorter low impact Turbo Fire workout. That is not much work to me. It is just okay. For me Chalean does the in and out thing with legs and knees twisting and it sort of scares me for my knee. I like portions of it for different reasons. Lower body define feels more like yoga to me. The core work is really good without weights. I liked the extra set that used the gliding discs. The intervals were good as they were quick paced and burned a bit more calories and had some bodyweight strength involved. The fundamentals disc is not a follow along disc. I have problems playing my Ready to Sweat or whatever the shorter cardio one is in my dvd player. Probably the player though. It plays the intro and advertisements and then the workout won't play. It plays everywhere else though. I am not sure if this helps. Upper define is more like core work in planks with upper work like variations on push ups, lower body define is really a lot of yoga type moves.

Today I did Body Beast Total Body, 39 minutes, 261 calories followed by Beast Abs, 11 minutes, 47 calories. Workout was 50 minutes, 308 calories. It has been a frustrating morning and I got my workout in late. My phone's keypad quite working after I did a T mobile update They helped me get rid of the update reminders after I had already updated and now this. They have not replied on that. I got a new Tablet and I cn't get it to work with my printer. So, this occupied a great deal of my day so far.
Workout was good though :) Sagi goes pretty fast through the moves on this Total Body workout that is circuits.

Today I did Run Fit by Candace and had an excellent workout. I woke up with a horrible headache and almost went back to bed. I took a Claritin because I'm sure it's allergy related and felt a bit better. By the time the workout was over my head was clear. I have improved by .25 miles on this workout. I remember when I first started it my goal was to be at 2 miles by the end of the 2nd steady state. Today I was at 2.25 miles by the end of that steady state. Woohoo!!!

Workout was 52 minutes, I ran 3.8 miles!!!!! and burned 394 calories even though I think it was more.

Diane Sue - Nice workout!! I've never done the Beast Total Body, it looks fun.

Roselyn - You should post your weights, I'm curious to see what you use for Beast workouts.

Hope you all have great workouts!!!
 
Today I did To the Max 54 minutes, 348 calories. It seems low but, okay. My HR maxed out at 161. I then did Piyo Define Lower,22 minutes, 80 calories. I never noticed that Chalean says this is the moves from align put into a flow. I always thought align was sort of useless because it was not really a follow along workout. Total time was 76 minutes. I want to incorporate the two Tempo workouts this week Maybe a lower body workout. I have to work in the possibility of no workout on Monday as we will be heading out of town for the day.

Debbie, cardio quite often helps clear my sinuses. It is just hard to push to do it. Nice job on attaining goals :) Both Total Body and Lucky 7 are nice Circuits. Lucky 7 is much shorter at around 25 minutes or maybe 22 but it is tough.

Roselyn, Piyo is good for helping with flexibility when you are lifting heavy. Body Beast doesn't have much for stretching. I just didn't want you to expect it to be more intense than it is and be disappointed. There are tough parts and both of the core workouts are pretty good.
 
Today I did STS Meso 3, Week 3, Shoulders, Biceps and Triceps. I had a great workout. i changed the exercises in the last grouping again. Went quite heavy and really felt it today.

This is what I did:

Standing Barbell Press: 12's - 2 sets/12 reps (warmup)
Standing Barbell Press: 47# - 6 reps
Barbell Curl: 50# - 6 reps
Flat Bench Dumbbell Extension: 20's - 6 reps
Repeat 3 more times

Seated Lateral Raise: 13's - 6 reps
Incline Curls on Stability Ball: 21's - 6 reps
Double Arm Seated Overhead Extension: 36# - 6 reps
Repeat 3 more times

Upright Rows: 50# - 6 reps
Seated Concentration Hammer Curls: 21# - 6 reps
Close Grip Barbell Press: 67# - 7 reps
Repeat 3 more times

Starting to look forward to STS being done. I'm not sure what I will do next but probably Body Beast again.
 
Today Tempo Back and Biceps, 50 minutes, 205 calories. I was going to do it when I came back from grocery shopping but, so little sleep last night due to allergies that I knew if I waited I would be too tired by the time I came back.
I forgot how tough tempo is and the layout. I started wrong on the first set so heaviest was on the 15 reps :confused:

Debbie, nice work on the weights. I think that I hate working shoulders more than anything else.
 
Today I did Cardio Coach #1 and had a great workout. I really like this one, short, sweet and intense.

Workout was 36 minutes, ran 2.56 miles and burned 282 calories.
 
Today I did Party Rockin Step 1 Extreme 8 combos and finished product, 66 minutes, 408 calories. I then Ripped with Hiit abs 1 and 2 23 minutes, 90 calories. Total time was 89 minutes and calories burned 498. I needed to work off some of the calories. My daughter bought me a fresh coffee cake she made me and a vanilla latte for my birthday breakfast :D I have been off sugar of any kind, even stevia, and only a bit of fruit for 3 weeks now. I think I am going to have to restart my Whole 30 after the family birthday party Sunday and a out of town trip. next week. I willstill try to stick with it but cheating does not count in a whole 30. Anyway it tasted yummy and I am not sorry at all. I think t week there are no celebrations or anything so maybe that will be the right time.
 
Bulk shoulders today, need to start posting my weights and I am too lazy to walk downstairs to look at my sheets now;) I will say this round of beast I am following schedule with no added cardio and have seen some changes in muscle growth and fat loss.

Nice workouts girls!!

Today's workout was Beast Tempo chest and triceps, 52 minutes, 146 calories. I followed this with X Train Bonus Rear Delts 14 minutes since there is no shoulders in the Tempo workouts.

Total time was 93 minutes, 370 calories. It may have been a bit different as my HR monitor kept losing my HR.
