This morning I did Step Sync, 57 minutes, 302 calories, heart rate average 129, max 146, met 6.3, 5,917 steps. I then did Step Boss abs 2, 10 minutes, 41 calories, heart rate 121 average, 147 max, met 4.0, 96 steps. I finished with the Step Boss Extended Chair stretch, 15 minutes, heart rate average 96, average 131, 21 calories, 10 steps. Total time was 82 minutes, calories 364, 6,023 steps. I have been cleaning house and steps are 10,349 right now. That is great for me. Tomorrow is ladies game day so I may come back from there and do Kelly's 5 day strength chest and triceps. I have to leave early enough to find the house since we are doing it at someone different this time.
Debbie, that is great that you got a good fit with the shoes and new inserts. I think my arches are different on each foot. One seems high and one seems lower which makes one foot appear longer than the other. I am sorry that you are still dealing with your neck issue. I fully understand and you are not a whiner. I do PT exercises every day off and on during the day. I just do not usually put those down on my workouts. I try to get in plenty of stretching too. I would like to have more time for workouts and then a good long stretch, but that is really hard to do. I felt so good the next day after doing the stretch Kelly has in her 5 day strength program. It is 36 minutes long or I would add it on a lot more. I am going to do the strength workouts again this week. I will give a day between a couple of them to do just cardio and stretching.
Doreen, I have not done that one in quite awhile. Nice choice.
Belinda, Kelly's Build and Burn upper body, Split sessions workout #1, Body Shop has an upper body premix. I remember using that one when I had the torn miniscus, you can also break up Muscle definition and leave out lower body segments. I don't remember the premixes for that one or if there were any. I think there was though because I printed out the worksheets and there was a lot of pages that looked like they were separate mixes. Her new Strong and Lean has a no legs moves premix. I have only done this one once since I got it. It uses a barbell for one move, dumbbells for the next, and then tubing on each body part. I bet that push up segment on lite would be a hard one with being on the knees. I was thinking of Muscle Up too. One workout is all upper, the other does have lower in it, but there may be a mix to skip lower, or just skip it yourself. She does not go back and forth from one body part to another.
Jolie, I don't know why shoe companies are constantly changing their shoes. I used Saucony for quite a few years, I used Brooks a couple of times, but they just did not fit right. Then lately a favorite was a couple of pair of Adidas which were very comfortable for light work as they were flexible, but they do not stand up to lots of turns and heavy weight work. Now I am on my 4th pair of Reeboks. I specifically like the CrossFit Nanos, but I can never seem to find the # 5 model and in my size anymore. It is odd how they can fit just right one time and I try to buy the same shoe and suddenly it is very snug?? I have had my eye on Hokas. They look like they would be comfortable. Kind of an expensive shoe though.
I have used My Fitness Pal for years. I also have My Net Diary which I like. Did you know Fit Bit has a pretty good database if you log online for tracking. You can also add foods that are not there just like MFP. I just started messing with it. You can favorite foods that you use frequently.
I have to say your meals do not look like much food for how hard you work out to me. I hope it works well for you. I shouldn't talk, as I have been bad about eating enough calories lately and need to gain back some weight. Usually I am at least 10# heavier than I am now if not more. My appetite is up the last few days though. I think it is more stress eating than anything else though. I tend to do that and it gets me in trouble with junk food around. Also trying to monitor cholesterol and saturated fat intake has changed things for me. Even though I was not eating that much to begin with. Your salad sounds much like my favorite only no cheese in it. I usually go for spinach or kale for the greens. I just pasturized an egg for some salad dressing that has an egg in it and I will use almond oil. I love salads.
