Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for January 2015

Debbie, I sort of contemplated the abs instead of finishers pre mix .I am not a fan of the band upper body stuff. You got a nice workout in. Those power pulls with the band worry me. Really as far as delts and band work I generally have some pain afterward. I think that the weight work is good. Shoulders were easy when I was younger.
 
Today I did Cardio Coach #3. I was so tired this morning, I'm shocked I had such a good workout. At first it didn't feel right at all to be on my treadmill, but then after I warmed up I was good to go.

Workout was 40 minutes, I ran 2.29 miles and burned about 255 calories.

I won't be working out tomorrow as I have to be at work really early. Not happy about missing a day, I've been on a roll here.

Diane Sue - My upper back is feeling it today. I have a knot on my right side but it's not too bad. I was worried about that band work as well, but I didn't go real tight. I stopped when I felt the burning.
 
Debbie, it is probably good that you stopped when you noticed the burning. I believe there are some without the finisher mixes. I don't mind the barbell rows though and the crazy eights are good finishers.
 
Today I did Ripped with Hiit Low Impcat 2 mix with abs 1, 37 minutes, Ripped with Hiit Circuit upper mix #2 no blasts, 37 minutes, and I finished with Tai Cheng Neural Reboot. Total time was 1 hr 43 minutes and calories burned 462.

Today I did Party Rockin Step 1 and followed with the intention of doing Ripped With Hiit lower circuit. Minus the blasts. With the circuit lower I did, squats weighted pulse lunges, weighted lateral walk. That is all. Plenty of texts and family helping move things. I got my spin bike today :). Missed having it. ,

Today I did the new Ripped Hiit Lift It, Hit It Back, Bi's & Shoulders- No Finishers. I liked this workout, a lot. I changed some of the exercises because I wanted to, :)

This is what I did:

Then I did Bonus Abs #1. I like that one. I stopped after the 1st set of planks. Those got me.

Diane Sue - Nice weights and workout yesterday!!!
 
Today I did Ruthless Hardcore Circuit and x10 cardio blast yesterday was weight work

Diane Sue, so far the two I did are Hiit, today was 3 minute intervals, kind of like Insanity, 20 minute workouts right to the point!! I got 20 dvds for 26.oo on amazon so far I like, the 2o minutes makes it nice to add on to weights too.

Nice workout today Debbie.
 
Today I did Ripped with Hiit Hiit Circuit Lower Body mix #7 with abs 1 and added on the stretch, 58 minutes. I added on Great Glutes Stability Ball and bonus chair work 14 minutes, I finished with Tai Cheng Tai Chi segments from phase 1 and 2, 20 minutes. Total time was 92 minutes. I hate to mention calories. Total was 444. I was feeling good at the 381 I got with Ripped With Hiit till I saw the workout manager had it over 500. Oh, well, the workouts are doing good things and the calories seem to be making little difference. I have been doing Ripped With Hiit since December 9. I think maybe after a couple of months I need to change a bit

Debbie, nice work. I don't really hate concentration curls but, they sure are hard. I think I dislike the prone preacher curls more. I plan on doing the 4 set mix of chest, shoulders, and triceps tomorrow.

Roselyn, that was a good deal on those workouts. Had you heard reviews on them before you bought them. I like reading reviews on Amazon.
 
Today I did Cardio Coach #6 with Candace (it was a Candace week) and I did Challenge 1, 2 and 4. I don't like 3 so I usually skip it. Had a great workout!
