Yesterday I just did Cathe's Yoga Relax. That has some nice shoulder stretching in it and I like the slower pace.Today nothing. I will be carting weight plates and boxes upstairs when I get home to the new house later today. I am sure that will be plenty.

Debbie, I like the pyramids. That looks like a good rotation. Nice work

Today was cardio and I had a puke status workout. I chose Cardio Coach #6 w/Candace and had an awesome workout. I skipped the 3rd challenge because I ran out of time and because I don't like it much. Still, the workout was a good one.

50 minutes total
7 minutes below zone
21 minutes in zone
24 minutes above zone
421 calories burned
2.75 miles traveled

I am so sore from my weight training and my abs are screaming at me today.

Diane Sue - Thanks, I like pyramid training too, and it's been a long time since I've done it. I'm enjoying it. Really looking forward to working my legs tomorrow. They really need some major attention!

Hi Guys,

I have to apologize to you guys for MIA. The only thing I’ve been doing is running, I’m so ready to continue with Meso 2 and 3. But, I swear I can't get up in the morning, all the life have been drain from me, really, that's another story.

Last night, ran 5 miles

This morning I had to adjust some equipment to workout. The movers had the Dip/knee raise station at the opposite end of the room from where I wanted it and the treadmill on the opposite so I had to move them then pick up the partially dismantled heavy/speedbag stand and move it since it was on top of my weights. I started with a 1 mile in 13 min walk/jog on the treadmill 100 calories. Then I did all of Amy's Drop Sets. 91 min(wonder why it says 60 min on the cover ?) I burned 617 calories doing this one. I raised some of the weights this time. Stuck with Amy on the shoulder work though. Total time spent was 1 hr 44 min and calories burned 717. I really like the 8,10,and 12 reps with variations on the move each set. My P90X2 workouts should be here today.

Teddy, sorry that you are feeling drained. I am glad that you are still getting the runs in. Maybe once you get some rest you can turn it around and get back to STS.

Debbie, great job on acquiring some muscle soreness I had sore abs this morning too but, mine was probably from coughing so hard. I wish these allergies would stop. Spent too much time in the wind. I need to get back to posting my weights too.

Diane Sue, what do you think of P90X2?

I did Drill Max today been a long time for this one, had fun.

I loved Plyocide even though I don't think that I did my best. I made it through it, It has a long warm up about 12 min, and along cooldown stretch about 12 min as well. The rest is the workout. Tough stuff with some balance stuff added. I figure if I do all of this rotation I should have some good balance and agility stuff going on. It seems from what I have looke at that there is a lot of one sided stuff too. No work sheets for plyocide. It moves quickly. Nothing repeated, most segments are 1 min.. They are grouped together and then a very brief rest(It seemed brief anyway) starting with a balance move on the next
round. I had my high step at 4 risers for the box stuff, I think after realizing I am not jumping up onto it(although I did a few times out of habit) and jumping off, that I could have it higher. Anyway, plyoocide was 54 min, Calories burned was 363. Max HR was 164. I am sure I can up all of this but feeling sort of under the weather, low back hurting, legs sore, I think I did an adequate job. Not great, just adequate. I then put in the Recovery and Mobility workout and skipped a little of it. I started after the warm up(yoga I think but not saying something else was there) 12 minutes, mobility using the foam roller for a balance tool and leg raise front to back and side to side, squat with o/h press 5# bar(I used 9), balance on one leg toe touch on other side, then 20 min(I think longer) foam roller stuff. Tony really knows the technique. I hurt lying on that thing. He does 5 min right and then 5 min right legs then 4 min right and left with the upper body, added a little bit of both sides stuff, then he did some of the mobility again followed by yoga moves and ending with the foam roller for stretch. This workout is 56 minutes if you do the whole thing. Felt great. I did a lot of the shoulder and delt stuff. He encourages spending more time on the problem areas. Total time for me was 38 min and calories burned was 136. Probably because of the leg swings etc..

Roselyn, I have only played with 3 of the P90X2 dvds. I like them a lot. Monday is Total Body I am looking forward to it. These seem to be a lot of mobility, stretch, balance. They do have strength too. I will post as I move through them.
