My grandson is supposed to be here soon. Today I did STS body parts legs, 51 minutes, 119 calories. I would feel better about weight workouts if I got close to what the workout manager has. It has something like 397 calories on this workout. That is it for me today. I had groceries come and now have to go order my collagen powder as somehow, I did not get it on my Walmart order.
I did not get a full nights sleep last night. My husband came in and I heard him fixing something to eat and light was filtering into the room. I do not always get woke up when he comes in. I did fall back to sleep and then somehow kicked something off of the bed and we heard it hit the floor. I went to bed at 1 am. Tried to get things done so I could enjoy grandchild time. Also fireworks were popping late and my dog came flying in the house barking and whining. Then every time a pop she would whine.

Debbie, nice work today. Isn't there a premix that omits the band work on that one? I kind of remember us talking about that in the past as some of it aggravates the trap and upper back area. I am getting better with this with all of the band work at PT and in Boss bands and with Chris. Not that I do not still get that pain sometimes. I still think a lot is posture. I just cannot look down for any length of time before I start feeling the pain hit. My shoulders, upper back and neck have been sore quite a bit with these new workouts though. I feel pretty good in that area today. I forgot about crazy 8's and 21's till she added them to the Upper Body workout in the new series. It is tough after doing the other biceps moves.
Have fun at the craft store and lunch with a friend. When I get into Hobby Lobby or a craft store I can spend hours and dollars! My children and I used to have fun going to the big Hobby Lobby complex that is now not there. It was like a craft mall that went from room to room.
Doreen, nice work with 2.0 Upper Body 1 first half and the dog walk today.
Jolie, enjoy the rest day and you and your dogs relax time. I have my grandson till Monday. The 4th of July my husband works and I will probably spend the evening consoling my dog through all of the fireworks. Those electric bikes are expensive. I don't see how they can give someone much exercise. My husband has one in his wish list though. I thought I was getting past allergies as I went through 3 months instead of weeks with an allergy reprieve. But they kicked up big time recently even when pollen was low. No allergy meds work including the Astepro which pretty much knocked me out that my doctor suggested since it "works for things other than pollen as well". I am thinking maybe mold or air quality that has been off and on warned about. But, something is doing it. I ended up the last two nights sleeping with my wedge so my head was elevated. I have had a headache more like sinus along with it.
At this point I like most of the workouts in the new series. They are not fast paced workouts. More concentrated moves. I will probably not do the total body workouts a lot. just prefer to concentrate on a part or two at a time. Upper and Lower was good except for I was still juggling around equipment even after doing them once. Most stuff can be done with the option of dumbbells or a barbell and there are substitutions with dumbbells or various ways to use the tubing for moves. I think that I am going to prefer the Body Part workouts and those were the ones I would have purchased if I was going to choose individual workouts. I like the abs workout that uses the weight plates, but all of the abs are on one dvd so yes on the abs. I have been posting the workouts so those that are interested can see what they are like. With a few notes. Be aware I am going lighter that Cathe. Those Hip thrusts are done by Cathe with her shoulders on a step and 75# barbell. It just hurts my upper back to do that. I am sure I can go heavier than the 40# dumbbell that I used. I do not have a bar pad. I think there are more form pointers and alternatives in the new workouts than STS had.
Belinda, that is a high number for air quality. Ours is good today at 42. I never thought I would look at that, but with allergies acting up for some reason I started trying to find the culprit. Actually I am not coughing and sneezing has let up. Pollen is very high, so go figure. I don't think we often have bad air quality here. Food job on STS 2.0 Upper #2 today. Sorry you do not get a walk in.
I'll hope to be back later for personals. Have a great workout everyone!
