Holy crap, it is July. This can't be possible. I'll be back to work before I know.
I am loving my long mornings and workouts. I need to figure out how to continue the intensity when I go back to work. I'm wondering if I can get up at 4 instead of 4:30, that would give me a good extra half hour to work out. I'm sure it's doable.
We had an amazing time in Amish Country and the weather was perfect! Spent way too much money but who cares? LOL!! My cat is doing good, too, they gave him meds for the throwing up issue. Been dealing with that his whole life. He has tarter on his teeth because I won't let him eat hard food, and she wants me to have him go in and get it scrapped off. Not sure I want to do that.
This morning I started out on my treadmill and walked for 1 mile, warming up my body. This has helped a lot, I think. My body is warm and I'm ready to workout. Then I did
RAW 4DS Shoulders & Legs. I did do the legs because the exercises aren't incorporating full squats and the exercises that did more of a squat movement, I kept shallow. Had a great workout:
1 minute each exercise repeating the circuit once
Heel Front Squats: 10's
Deadlift down/Squat Up: 10's (I only did the deads)
BSS: 8's (I did static lunges and went shallow and did only 1 set)
Repeat
Shoulder Press: 10's
Lateral Raise: 8's
Front Raise: 8's
Bent over Lateral Raise: 10's (30 seconds)
Repeat
Then I did
RAW Glute Finisher but didn't complete it completely. I did most of it but skipped the last set of clamshells and bridges. My legs were jello. Love this workout!!
Stretched a bit afterwards.
Total workout time was 69 minutes, burned 537 calories, did 3859 steps and HR was 134/168.
I didn't want to stop my watch after each thing so I just kept it on Cardio setting and did this whole thing. I hate starting and stopping my watch and all I really want to know is how many calories I burned.
Jolie - I'm so glad you are feeling so great, it's weird how salt can do that to you, but I actually see how that can happen. Your dad is amazing for figuring this out, he should have been a homeopathic doctor. Great workout too!
Belinda - I'm not a big fan of curry, not sure I'd like that. I need to find some new recipes. I've been making this veggie bowl where you saute mushrooms, onions and kale in 3 tbsp soy sauce until it's cooked down. Then I add 1/4 tsp Sesame Oil and chili pepper flakes. Then I bake a potato in the microwave if I don't have them precooked already and then I add it altogether and top it with the cheese sauce and some hot sauce. OMG, so good! I'm addicted to this stuff. You should try it, it's easy to make.
Roselyn - Great job with your workout! I'm glad to hear you are seeing results with this series. I really should try it but so much of it is legs and I just can't do much in that muscle group right now.
Cam - It's been beautiful here in Ohio the last few days. The humidity is coming back, though. I really feel the difference when working out versus when it's winter. I never seem to sweat in the winter. Great job on your workout. I like most of Kelly's music but there are some of her RAW workouts that I just don't care for what she selected. Her workouts are so good, though, that I don't care. I'll just turn it down. I wish she'd play more 80's music.
Diane - You have got to be kidding about the heart doctors? How can they all just be gone? Wow, what is going on lately? It is scary. Airlines are cancelling flights all the time because they are short on pilots. I have to laugh because they blame retirement and not wanting the stress but everyone with a brain knows it's because they mandated the vaccination - that is when the walkouts started to happen. That is why everyone left their jobs. Not sure why your doctors did, though. The mandate for them has been in effect since day 1 almost. I hope you get your results and I hope whoever does them knows how to read them. Yikes!!
Doreen and Roxie - Where are you girls? Hope you are both doing well.
Have a great holiday weekend! I hope you all have a safe one too!
