Just getting ready to go work it.

Diane Sue- meant to ask you how heavy you lift with Tracey's walking workout when You are gonna lift weights the next day. Not sure how low to keep the arm weights for uppper, etc. Also, what do you mainly use your weighted vest for besides legs? Do you walk with it and do you find it increases the intensity. How many pounds do you use?
 
Good Morning:)
Lora I saw STreet Kings, Awesome movie! I love Keanu Reeves he did really well in that movie! Have a good workout!
My upper body is sore but I worked it hard yesterday!
Today is 4Ds Bootcamp circuit lower body plus calves. Have to be at work at 6 yuck! I would so rather be working out right now!
Have a great day

I'm back.

I ended up doing Strength Attack with Trish Muse. Workout was 60" and I only burned 321 calories. I used my Bender Ball for all of the ab work and with a weighted med ball....I felt it. This was a workout that alternates high rep/low weights and heavy weight/low reps.

This workout was pretty good....but the weight work should have been longer. The weight work was only about 25 minutes with 15-20 of Core and a 20" stretch! Next time I do this, I'll do the weight section twice and use a shorter stretch. It felt good....but I just don't have the time for that. The other thing is that biceps were totally omitted....so I added 3 sets of curls with 17 lb DBs.

Have a great workout everyone............ugh Monday.......back to work! Yuk!
 
Good Morning:D

Good Morning, I just finished the cardio portion of my workout. I will go back and do Amy's Slo Mo legs and add some calf work on to it. I did I Max 3 and the cardio only of 4DaySplit HIS. I have not done one of the I Maxes in months. I think I will probably need to lower the impact for a couple of days:) I put two mats over my carpet to pad up the workout area some when I did this. I have found this has helped a lot.

Lora, when I use Walking Strong on a day before weights I only use 3-5# dumbbells. I have only used the vest for leg work and planks. I keep meaning to try it walking on the treadmill. It is 20# and I have not tried taking any of the weights out of it. DH uses it on the treadmill.

Maeghan, I did poorly on the diet all weekend. Had Mexican food two days in a row. The dinner here was better than the restaurant yesterday though as I cooked black beans and made a veggie tray and large salad. Ate one enchilada. But there was chips and salsa and that is a weakness here:9 A couple of cheat days doesn't hurt once in awhile. We just clean it up again and in a a couple of days will be right back where we were.

Well I had pizza yesterday..just two slices. And ya know, I love those chips and salsa too. Next time Coni comes down my way, we are gonna have A WHOLE BUNCH OF CHIPS AND SALSA!!!!!!!!!!! lol.
And yeah, my weight is back to 120, but as long as there is still tuna fish around..no worries.
 
Good Morning Everyon -

I did a conditioning workout today that was fun. I need to work on push ups and building endurance.

Pike Seated leg Lift 15 Can anyone do this? This is much like that levitating thing Cathe does on the core max and I really think my arms are too short to do this or that my torso is too long in relation to my arms? Any tips

instead of those I did incline curls with 10# plate - 3 sets.

Help me levitate!
 
Good Morning Everyone!

It's already busy here this morning.

I'm gonna do Total body Rotation, hubby and I are going back to the Y. More equipment, more room! So I feel I can do better with the Total Body Rotation of Debbie's!

I'll check back in later and post my workout!

Meaghan - It happens, you'll get back on track. I had a big slice of pizza yesterday and it was so good, but I did eat better last night.

Hope everyone has a great day and kick ass workouts!!!
 
Today's workout was suppose to be cardio because I am still VERY sore from Saturday's workout. So I get all ready to do my cardio, get on my treadmill and turn on my MP3 player. Damn thing was dead! So instead of just doing steady state, or of course I could just do CC #4 like I planned, just not with Sean yapping in my ear, I opted to do my shoulder workout.

BAD MOVE! I didn't eat anything before my workout because I always do fasted cardio. I lost energy FAST. I was quite upset but made the best of it. Half way through the workout I took some BCAA's and that seemed to help.

1 minute rest between each set

[font color=indigo]SHOULDERS[/font]
Lateral Raise:
15's - 15 (warmup)
22's - 12/12/12
[font color=green]Dropped my weight to 15's with the last set and repped out with 10 reps.[/font]
[font color=blue]***Got an excellent burn but 22's just seemed so heavy this morning.[/font]

Arnold Press:
22's - 12/10
20's - 10
[font color=blue]***Crashed and burned big time here. I lost energy fast. Was quite bummed because I'm usually really strong with this exercise.[/font]

Barbell Overhead Press:
55# - 10/9

Was suppose to do Incline Dumbbell Shrugs but those really bother my neck and upper back so I skipped them.

Should have done cardio....
 
Morning Maniacs,


This morning was back to supersets, 4 sets of five with a one minute rest.

Chest/Back
Incline Barbell Press

5/5/5 - 95# ***could barely do 95# last week, so why I thought I would try 97# is beyond me, but at least I finished!***
Overhand Barbell Rows
5/5/5/5 - 95#

Shoulders/Biceps
Barbell Military Press
5/5/5/5 - 65# ***very hard***

Then did some hanging ab work.

That's it from here.

Linda - Nice workout! You killed it today!

Char - Great going with the Chest/Back. However, I think I either sent you the wrong exercises to do the repping out with or you did something different. Let me know and I'll correct it if it was my mistake.

Lora - I usually gain weight in my abs and hips when I let myself go. Have no clue what shape that would be. I'm a mesomorph body type. I can't go too heavy with the weights for my legs or my quads get too big. I'm not really lifting all that heavy for my leg work.
 
I finished my workout. I did Amy Bento's Slo Mo and added 3 sets each of Bowflex 310# 10 rep leg press and 310# 25 reps calf raises.
I used the 20# vest to up a couple of the weights on Slo Mo
Sumo squats were 8/70, 8/80,8/80
Jefferson squats all 3 sets 8/35#
cradle side lunge 2 sets each side 8/60#
wobble squats 3 sets 8/50
hammy rockers all 3 sets 8/15# dumbbells
glute wraps (have a hard time w/this because my bar is so long
I used my 9# body bar and wore 2 5# ankle weights on one leg so had to switch back and forth all 3 sets
single leg rock up squat w/ stability ball and dumbbell 3 sets 8/20#
I finished off with Amy's 10 min solution stretch

Ally, I have never been good with those levitation holds. I get my feet off of the floor once in awhile. I use my push up stands or two yoga blocks under my hands.

Ally - I use yoga blocks when I do levitation holds. My arms aren't long enough to push me off the ground. And I don't do these often since I hate doing them! LOL!
 
Debbie, Diane Sue - thanks! I thought I was freakishly short armed!! They are hard and make me feel quite inferior. I may not do them anymore either.
 
Just wondering if any of you ladies will be going to the roadtrips? I just got an email about them! I would love to go. I'll see what happens!
