Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Monday July 30

Good Morning Maniacs
Took this weekend off of working out. Went to Pasadena Ca with my mom to visit my bro and his family. Did a lot of shopping there and went to the beach:)It is beautiful over there. This morning I'm doing S&H legs and Gym style floor work BBL
Randi:)
 
I ended up doing The Firm High Definition Sculpt followed by about 10 minutes of cardio. Workout was 1 hour and 4 minutes long and I burned 330 calories. Didn't have time to do anything else, as I have a job interview this morning.

Have great workouts.

Randi - you're up early today. Glad you had a fun weekend.
 
I have to apologize for not being active here these last couple days. It's been a crazy weekend with my mom's 70th birthday party and all. Had a great time and she sure was surprised! The look on her face was priceless.

This morning was Chest & Tri's and truth be told, I so wanted to stay in bed. I am so tired. But not much can keep this woman down so I got up and had a pretty excellent workout.

Chest
1 min. rest
Barbell Bench Press (warmup): 85# - 2 sets/10 reps
2 min. rest
Barbell Bench Press: 105# - 3 sets/6 reps (up 5#)
1:30 min. rest
Incline DB Press: 40's - 3 sets/8 reps (up 3#)
Decline Flyes: 35's - 3 sets/10 reps (same)
Weighted Elevated Pushups: 20/20
**Notes: The incline presses at 40# db felt AWESOME! I was surprised I got them into position so easily today. That made me really happy! Pushups about killed me today with less time rest.

Triceps
2 min. rest
Close Grip Barbell Press: 85# - 3 sets/6 reps (same)
1:30 min. rest
Skull Crushers: 55# - 3 sets/8 reps (same)
Bench Dips: 45# - 3 sets/10 reps (up 5#)
**Notes: CG press felt great today, last week I was a little sloppy with them, this week I had great form. Same with the skulls, last week was a little sloppy so I stayed with the same weight to get my form down.

Hope you all have a great workout! It's getting humid here - YUCK!!!
 
Ended up doing Gym style leg floorwork first then s&h legs and shoulders. Then I took a little nap:)
Great workout Debbie:)!!
Lora good luck on your interview!
Randi
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Doing Chest/Shoulders/Triceps/Abs today. Son usually has been working out with me, but has to work today. I am off today. My glutes are still very sore from P90X. Weird how this workout gets my glutes so sore and butts and guts does not, not like this, but Butts and Guts is way harder in my opinion too. Interesting though.
 
Debbie, before long you can just lift me.. Won't need a barbell..
The numbers girl.. I am impressed..

Well, Dallys been working out for me. So far B&G and CC..
God i feel like i could workout and i am not. I may just go and walk on the treadmill for an hour or so. I am trying to be good.. Boredom is killing me..

All went really well. I will try to snap a pic for ya all later. I look like someone beat me up. Gotta run to the store later..
Need a few groc..Thank god for sunglasses..


Char, i can do any Cathe weight leg tape and B&G is way the hardest. I feel it the most.Must be fun working out with the son.

Gonna go to Wally world ang get a few CD's. I was going to download , but not always compatible with ipod..

I love that song rock star..

Gonna get a bath.
Have a great day all..

Hey Maniacs! finished a 3.68 mile walk with Carma, listened to "Greenday" and "Free". Took 55 min. and Pedometer says I burned 246 cals. and my HRM says I burned 299. Either way, I was surprised at my calorie burn for just walking and I was surprised how high my HR stayed. AHR was 130 and it got up in the 140's and 150's at times. I never wear my HRM walking, because I figured it was wasn't really that great of workout. Maybe I'm wrong?
Will do MM later for Anne.:)

Char- Exactally the same with me. P90X legs makes me VERY sore and B&G doesn't but yet it's harder. Weird.

Debbie- Great workout as usual.

Lora-Great workout.

Randi- Nothing like the beach.:)

Anne- If it's the one by Nickleback, I totally agree. Love that song.

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars and
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
in the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And well...

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Hey Maniacs!

I got up early and did CC#4 on the elliptical. Only stayed on til it was over - 45 minutes. Tough workout though! Had to be to work early for SEEK - kids' summer camp. Last week of it. Woo hoo! Lots of lost parents this morning and teachers driving me mad!!! One teacher had only 4 kids (out of 7 - small class that I added late) show up so she calls me AFTER the class starts and wants to cancel it! Like I'm supposed to send these little 5-7 year olds home after they've been looking forward to it? In June she couldn't handle 15 kids (which her afternoon class will have this week) and now she doesn't want to teach with only 4 kids. Good grief! I told her no - she has to teach so suck it up. These parents have already paid too.

Randi - I'm so envious that you got to go to the beach in LA. :( I miss it so much. Glad you had a great time.

Anne & Dallys - LOVE that song!

Better get back to work. Better go visit some of the classes and make sure all is going well. There are 11 this morning and 10 this afternoon. We have about 300 little kids running around our college this week. I love it! :)

Happy workouts everyone!

Lora - Good luck with your interview!

Randi - Great workout, girl! You'll be sore for sure!

Char - BRING IT GIRL!!!

Anne - You crack me up! My goal is to bench my body weight which is 125#.

Dallys - Awesome walk, girl! Great music too! Woo hoo!

Suz - #4 is a HUGE dread factor for me. I haven't done it in a long time. It's very challenging for me. Great going!!!
 
I was dragging this morning but finally got my workout in. I then went to GNC and got some vitamins and calcium. I ran out a week ago. Picked up some protein powder and got home and found it had high fructose corn syrup and sugar in it:( I should have read the label. Today I did Kelly Coffey Step Box stopping at the cardio weights segment, I then did Amy's Kick Box EX premix good nrg no w/up or str (had the core work in it), then Slow and Heavy Triceps, Biceps and Abs(added some weight here) finishied with Amy's Str#2 off of Abs and Stretch.
Triceps
dumbbell seated french press 25# 3 sets
dumbbell lying triceps 20# dumbbells 1 set, 15# 2 sets
dumbbell triceps kickbacks 12# dumbbells 2 sets, 10# 1 set
triceps dips 45# barbell in lap 2 sets
Biceps
dumbbell biceps curls 25# dumbbells 1 set, 20# 2 sets
dumbbell hammer curls 25# dumbbells 1 set, 20# 2 sets

Hi Everyone,

I just saw this check-in and don't know what you have to do to qualify to be part of it, but I just had to say that, Debbie, I thought I was doing pretty good with my strenght training but after seeing what your doing I am totaly blown away!!!!:eek:

Diane Sue - How does it feel to work bi's & tri's on the same day? Did you find your triceps fatigue quicker or about the same as when you work them with other muscle groups? Nice workout too, by the way! Also, what rotation are you doing now?

Anne - You're funny!
 
Debbie, triceps was first so it was the biceps that I was struggling with :) It is amazing how putting different muscle groups together or changing the pace can make it harder to lift what I am used to. My rotation is one I put together. I just spent 3 weeks doing Cathe's Slow and Heavy legs adding standing kickbacks and calves on the Bowflex and using Gym Style upper body. Now I have switched up to all Slow and Heavy. I also have been doing one lighter circuit on Saturdays. The last time I added Butts and Guts floorwork to it. I also am changing my days up a little with S&H.

What a day at work! I thought it would never end.

You all had great workouts. Lora - how was the interview?

Diane Sue - I got your answers last night. Thanks!

It's 8:10 and I'm falling asleep on the couch. I need to go get laundry out of the washing machine and I think I might be out like a light. :)
