Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for March 2016

Yesterday my fitbit said I walked 22,102 steps yesterday! It did include my 5 mile walk and I was busy too. Today I will not get a workout in due to the fact that my son has a busy schedule and I will be driving quite a bit. I went to the chiropractor yesterday because I felt like I was having spasms and I was stiff all over. All of my neck was out, shoulders, upper back, low back and both hips! Today I feel great, a little sore but good. I go to a Non Force Chiro and she does wonders for me! It is $60 and my insurance does not cover it but well worth the money. If I end up getting in a walk I will post it later.

Debbie, my fitbit doesn't have a WALK icon in the exercise mode. I used my RUN icon to track my walk but that is probably why my calorie burn seemed high. Does yours have a walk icon?

Diane Sue, the weather is perfect here today, sorry you will be having storms. I do love when it rains because we rarely get rain in Southern California.

Have a great day!
 
Today I did Cathe Live Muscle Max, 51 minutes, 256 calories. I skipped a little of it. This one does not use the step. Afterward I put on FitnessBlender.com and did two active Stretch workouts with Daniel one for upper and one for lower, 31 minutes, 51 calories. These held the stretch for one minute each and you were encouraged to hold the stretch and tighten the muscle so it has a bit of toning to it.
Muscle Max Live
w/u uses some light weight work for upper then squat kicks and lateral lunges 6 minutes
Lower 3 rounds of 3 moves as in tri-sets I believe Cathe uses 15# dumbbells and a 45# barbell
Squat 20# each hand 16 reps first round of 3 moves then 25's the send and third Reps change up from singles to 2/2count on some rounds
Static Lunge 20's rnd 1 and 25's 2 and 3 16 reps then 4 slow on
Deadlift 12 reps 45# all 3 rounds

Push ups and deadrows 2 rnds
Chest Fly and 1 arm row 2 rnds I did not do chest and back

Plie Squat with barbell I used 25# dumbbells 8 single 8 2/2 count
alternating reverse lunge with bicep curl that is single then triple
wide Deadlift 12 reps 45# barbell
At 35 minutes 2 round
shoulder press 15# ( I did a few curls first rnd then no weight shoulder press the second)
Medium tension band tricep kickbacks
(My band broke and I had to switch to my b-lines) biceps curls with band and 8# dumbbells
at 43:56 minutes core 3 exercises 2 rounds
side bend holding 1 dumbbell 15# I think they started lighter then Cathe moved to 15, 16 reps
Bootcamp plank 16 reps
ankle grabber sit up 16 reps
Elbow in on ground crunch up other arm up 16 reps

Debbie, enjoy the recovery. That is good that you are keeping up well with the eats

Jolie, that was a lot of steps :) You deserve a day off :)
 
Today I only had time to walk 2 miles, I had a dentist appointment this morning. Got to sleep in. :)

Jolie - 22,000 steps in one day? Wow, I couldn't even imagine doing that. The highest I've ever done was 17,500 in one day and I walked from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. non stop. Nice job. So when I walk on my treadmill I just go to the Run screen and choose Treadmill even though I'm not really running. There is no walking workout because walking is really just "steps" an that's it's default, you know? I like seeing how many steps I do in whatever time it is I walk, though. Today when I did my 2 miles (oh boy) it shows I burned 227 calories. I think that is pretty accurate but I don't think the calories it says I burn doing Cardio Coach is accurate because it's usually really low.
 
Great workouts today everyone! Debbie, you are so lucky you got to sleep in.

Today I have taken two walks for my workout. Yes, I am walking like crazy on my active recovery week.
1.5 mile dog walk at 7am. Workout at 9 am was 7 mile walk through the hills, this was tuff. I walked for 2 hours and burned 815 calories! Also I climbed 38 floors. My goal is to do 20,000 steps today and I'm almost there and it is just 1pm. Right now I'm at 18,624 for the day. I have taken this week off from work since my kids are on vacation so this gives me extra time to get out and get moving.

Debbie, thanks for the info on the walking using RUN mode. That's what I will do too. If I want to kickbox, since I love the Powerstrike DVD's, do I put it in run mode to read my calorie burn?

I still have not decided what I will do for next months rotation. I am really loving doing whatever feels good each day. I am thinking of doing STS Meso 3 (10 to 12 reps instead of 8 reps) with a lot of walking and kickboxing mixed in. :)I cannot do the low rep high weight workouts because I tend to get injured. This way I go alittle lighter and do more reps.
 
Diane Sue the Insanitys are all 30 minutes, there are 2 that are 15 minutes and those are just as hard!!

Today was shoulders.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
 
Today I did Crush it Low Impact live35 minutes, 232 calories. I then did part of Low Impact Hiit Circuit live, 38 minutes, 230 calories. Since it has so much upper emphasis, I went very light or modified by doing something else. I think I would have been better off just doing RWH Low Impact Hiit., since it is the same cardio moves. I forgot to post eats yesterday and didn't log all of it. I just had too much going on all day and have not been sleeping well. Lets see if I can remember.
Morning pre workout and workout the usual coffee, half and half, Greens Powder with energy, and BCAA powder
Lunch salad greens with tilapia and Beachbody Avocado Cucumber Dressing (I didn't eat much of the tilapia it was too fishy) this was at 4 o'clock
Dinner Mexican taco meat recipe from Fixate, spinach and greens, tomato, onion, whole 30 ranch dressing with chipotle powder stirred in
Snack 1 scoop vanilla whey, coconut milk,, honey, vanilla mixed together with blackberries and strawberries
I will start the April thread and put todays meals in before I go to bed.

Roselyn, I read so often than a short 15-20 minute intense workout is better than longer workouts.

Jolie, that is a lot of steps to work toward. You are really getting in the walks. I find it is nice once in awhile just to do whatever I feel like for awhile. Once I am in a rotation. I don't like giving it up. The con to just doing what I feel like doing is that I can spend an awful lot of my time figuring out what that is.

Debbie, good job on the calories and 2 miles. These devices all have their quirks. I am back to being frustrated with the Bluetooth. Today I just gave up and used the watch and transmitter. I will try changing the battery again. They do not last that long from what I understand. Although the Polar app says the battery is full but it also says my HR is 208 when I am standing there looking at it. So, I don't know. It is great when I know it is working right.
