Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Monday July 7

Morning Maniacs -

This morning was WSFL strength circuit followed by metabolic circuits. This was deadlifts followed by prone jacknife/pushup/cable row lunge for 10" followed by squat/shoulder press & pullups for 10" and then HIIT. Intervals of 30/90 for 6 rounds, but I did 30/60 for 8 rounds.....still could only get my HR up to 150. Not sure what that was about. The intervals are short....so either I'm getting super efficient at these and my HR just isn't elevating or I'm too beat to work hard enough! Workout was 58" and I burned only 420 calories. Tunes were Motley Crue's St.s of LA.

I supposed I better stop this rotation before I really burn out on it big time and never want to do it again! LOL Obviously it's not working....either cuz of my diet, the fact my body has adjusted to it or maybe I'm not just working hard enough cuz I've become bored with it. I really don't want to burn out on it to the pooint that I never want to pick it up and do it again (sort of like what I did with my Cathe DVDs). On the other hand, I'm determined to see a result before I quit!! I'm psychotic!!

Have great days everyone.....Ugh....back to work. I loved the long weekend and don't want to go back.

Diane Sue - Do you know if Lush Retro is a limited thing or is it back for good? How did you find out about it. Did you buy any retro Lush?

Good morning all - imagine me the first post.

I have a dropped a % body fat - don't know if it was the WSFL program or being sick or what.

Anyway, today I did a new circuit designed to kill me!

Pull ups 3 sets of 4 reps (I can do these unassisted!)
Push up - 4 sets of 12 reps
bench dip - 4 sets of 12 reps
hanging leg raise 4 sets of 8 reps
box jump 3 sets of 12
burpee 4 sets of 8
squat jump 4 sets of 10

Have a great day and workouts everyone.

Good Morning All!!

Lora--bummer that the workout isn't going as well as you'd like. I wish you tons of motivation to find out what works best for you!

Ally--great job on the pull ups and % drop in body fat. Way to go. That's tough to do. Regardless ~ AWESOME!

I enjoyed my workout this morning, but felt like I was in a bit of a fog for most of it. Although I had a three-day weekend, it never seems like it's enough. I'm feeling quite irritated and anxious and I'm not sure why.

I did Cathe Low Max this morning followed by a back workout:

Lat pull downs x 5: 15/10/8/8/7
Chin ups x 5 (unassisted): 7/5/5/5/5
Lower back x 5: 15/15/12/12/12 (personal best!)
Underhand cable rows x 4: 9/8/9/8
Straight arm pull downs x 3: 10/10/10
ss w/
Mid rows x 3: 8/8/9

Have a great day!

Laura

Lora, I don't know if the retro Lush is limited or not. I know it is available online only. I have not ordered any yet. Almost did an order this weekend. I found out about it when they sent me an e mail.

Morning Maniacs,

The sore throat is still lingering, but I am feeling better. Any I started a TT rotation today.

Superset A
RDL
8/8/8 - 105#
DB Chest press
8/8/8 - 40's
***the RDL was suppose to be with DB's but I don't have DB's heavy enough to challenge me and was surprised how hard the chest press was w/ 40's since I can go way heavier w/ a barbell.

Superset B
DB Reverse Lunge
8/8/8 - 35's
1 Arm Shoulder Press
8/8/8 - 25#

Think I will have some good DOMS in my legs, hey were shaking by the end. Then did 20 minutes of intervals in a 30/90 ratio. Did side jumps, suicides, forward jumps, forward bounding, traveling speed skaters, & suicides again.

Lora Be careful with WSFL, I think you can burnout easily with that program!!

Wow - this place is dead today! What's up with that?

Linda - You'll have to let me know what you think of TT. I tried a couple....but was not overly impressed, but I think it was mostly cuz I was just trying one workout and it just so happened that I picked one that only worked part of the body and I was disappointed and had to add a bunch of other stuff in. Let me know if they are WSFL tough. Yes, I think I need to be careful. I slept in until 5:00 or so each day over the long weekend (and I NEVER sleep past 4) and then this morning at work while I was putting filing in order, I started to doze and the office manager caught me ...........and I really can't afford to lose my job. My job is gettting a bit boring........filing, filing, and more filing.

Has anyone tried Walden Farms "No Calorie" Balsamic Vinagarette dressing? My fitness friend gave me a bottle and I'm afraid to taste it. LOL.

Great workouts everyone.
 
Hey Maniacs!!!

Went to chiropractor today. Felt really horrible even afterwards, but I need to go few more times until things will improve. So bad that when I cough or sneeze, I feel pressure in my back. I am not working upperbody for about a week til things stabilize. I don't want to risk making the areas worse, and when I do catch up on my workouts, I will have to go lighter in weights on some moves. Seems like I really screwed myself up this time around. :-( Going to Kings Dominion tomorrow so I am thinking I probably shouldn't ride the rollercoasters either.:-(

Sorry for the gloomy report. Keep doing your thang!
