Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did M&F Hers Time to Burn Fat Rotation - Day 1:

Warm up 5"

Circuit A: - Repeated 3 times
Dumbell Squat into Overhead Press - 10 reps (modified into lateral raises instead
Leg Extension - 10 reps
Mountain Climbers 50 reps

Circuit B: repeated 3 times
Step Ups - 30 per leg
Hamstring Curls - 10 reps
Triceps Pushup - 10 reps

Circuit C - Repeated 3 times
Cross Punches on heavy bag for 1 minute
Kicks on heavy bag - 15 per leg
Alternating Punches on heavy bag- 1 minute
Ab Crunches - 30
Bicycles - 30

Circuit D - repeated 3 times
Cardio - high intensity 3-5 minutes (did fast football runs on rebounder and ran up and down my higher step for this)
Dumbbell squat into upright row - 15 reps (modified into front raises)
Jumping jacks - 30 (used dumbbells and did shoulder raises at same time)

cool down/ stretch

I added ankle weights and dumbbells to the ab work and used dumbbells while doing the jumping jacks doing lateral raises at the same time. Used the heavy bag in the basement for the bag work (hope my shoulders are okay from the impact). I also added an extra set of squats heavier and held a sumo squat at the end for 30 seconds to burn my legs out.

Workout was 73" and I have no idea how much I burned, as my HRM won't work. The button fell off last night. Good thing a new one is on the way.

I finished off with Prevention Slim, Strong & Firm Ballet segment (25") with my red band. Felt this in the shoulders and a bit in the legs with the red band. Also did the stretch off of this DVD and I love that segment.

Have great workouts everyone. Off to eat my oatmeal and then I'm applying at the Health Club.
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!
I posted my workout last night. Burned 418 cals!!! WOOHOO!!! Today I am working legs with weights and will work shoulders and abs. I am off today, and I don't have too much going on for the day..after last night at work, I need to chill. Had a customer tell me to slow down. I hate when people tell you to slow down...makes me want to speed up. lmao!!!:p I told him I would slow down when I am dead. :eek:
 
Good Morning, I am not sure what I am going to do yet today. No definite plans. I would like to make it a lower body day but kind of wanted to use Drill Max. I have some errands that I need to get out and do.

Lora, it sounds like you got in a good workout. Would have liked to hear what your HRM said:) I know when I did the Pit workout my arms felt it. Good luck with the health club job.

Woke up not feeling like working out at all. Probably because it's leg day and how I dread it! But once I got started I had an excellent workout. Supersets again and I love how this saves so much time. Workout was done in 45 min.

[font color=indigo]Quads/Hamstrings/Calves[/font]
1:30 min. rest between each superset
Squats:
85# - 12/12/12
superset w/
Elevated Dumbbell SLDL's:
35's - 10/10/10
[font color=blue]***I liked this combo, the SLDL's felt really strange using dumbbells but it was a good strange. Went lighter with squats and I'm glad I did, this just felt perfect.[/font]

Bulgarian Split Squats:
70# - 12/12/12
superset w/
Hamstring Curls:
50# - 12/12/12
[font color=blue]***Another good combo. Wasn't sure about this one since you work one leg at a time with BSS but it felt good. Got a great burn.[/font]

Leg Extensions:
90# - 12/12/12
superset w/
Dumbbell Calf Raises:
35's - 25/25/25
[font color=blue]***This was an okay combo, didn't feel much with the calf raises. Quads felt strong with 90#.[/font]

Overall I had a great workout. I feel pretty energized right now.

Anne - Yes, the salon looks very inviting! Good luck girl!

Lora - Nice workout this a.m. Thanks for the HRM site you posted yesterday. I will check it out.

Suz - I'm not sure about my body chemistry and the HRM. Could be I suppose. However, when dh changed the battary, the one in the strap was corroded due to the gasket not being installed properly by the factory. He fixed it so hopefully that was the problem. I'll find out Wednesday when I do cardio again.

Char - Nice calorie burn yesterday! Woo hoo! You go girl!

Goood Morning ladies. I am going to do a circiut today. just can't decide which yet. Then some yoga. My whole body is sore, and not from exercise. Worked late last night, and have to again tonight.

Anne, I do love the building. Good luck with it all.

Lora- so did it feel like a hard WO? I know last night you weren't sure it would be challenging enough. Have you heard Seether's Fake It?? I LOVE it. Great song. I just love his voice.

Deb- good job! Hope that HRM starts working properly again.

Char- It is annoying when customers try to tell me how to do my job. SOunds like the job is going well for you, so that's great. And you can see your nails a bit in your pic, and they look great.

DS- hope you get your WO figured out, and make it a good one!

Meg - so good to hear from you again stranger!! I love that Seether song a lot cuz ya know....Shawn Morgan (lead singer from Seether) just went thru rehab and I'm pretty sure that song is inspired by going thru "the Program" cuz it is in a twelve-step program that they teach you to "fake it until you make it" when you are first getting clean since it's so hard to function without being under the influence. Gotta love it. Yes, I agree, he has a rockin' voice! He's intense and amazing live. Love those passionate peeps. RE: the workout......No it didn't seem that hard...but I've been in some sort of mental zone working out lately where I don't feel like I'm working out that hard, but when I'm finished, I start feeling like I've been hit by a Mack Truck.....LOL. I think all of this job frustration is getting to me and I"m zoning out workout out. I've been going crazy Spinning and lifting. I've been "passionate" about it!! LOL. I'm jealous of you being sore from work! I need a job! Were you around a few weeks back? I had a job in the medical field...worked there for 2 weeks and the girl I was replacing decided she wanted to stay....so they had to let me go. Who has worst luck than me??
 
Good morning ladies! I feel ALOT better today (finally!) :)

Lora: Nice wo this morning. I bet that got your blood pumping! :D

Debbie: I love DB SLDL's. I miss having that exercise in my leg routine. Supersets do save alot of time. How are you doing, by the way? :)

Diane Sue: I hope you have a good day! The weather is so perfect here

Anne: Yay on the DOMS! I love feeling that I worked myself all over in the gym :7

Meaghan: Have a nice workout today!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's hilarious ... I have to switch pages back & forth on here 'till I remember everyone's names :p haha! :)

I go back into the gym this afternoon ... yay! :7 Back & chest. I will report later! :)

Penney
 
Wow, that sucks about the job Lora! I can't believe they did that to you! Rediculous. So don't be jealous of anything over here, cuz honestly it has been ONE WHOLE MONTH since I did a WO. I know I know, pathetic. I have been working alot, and under alot of stress with the ex, and so much going on. But I finally feel like I have a bit of a routine back in my life. I want to put things back together, you know. Plus having a broken computer again kept me from coming here everyday, and I had no inspiration and motivation from all you lovely ladies! So please, feel free to kick me in my a## now!!!!

Morning maniacs!

Anne-nice building...good luck!

Great workouts everyone!

DS-thanks for posting the Eoin Finn (Sp?) website. I did one of the podcasts this morning and it was great!

Plan on doing a bike ride and then an ab routine from Oxygen Mag.

Have a great day
 
Meg - It is good to see you posting again!!! :) I need to download that song by Seether, I love them as well.

Penney - Hi girl!!! Don't worry, we all have two windows opened when we reply here. It's too hard not too. That's the only thing I hate about this forum. It would be so much better if you could see everyone's response when you press "reply". Anyways, I'm doing much better, thanks for asking! Feeling almost like my normal self again. Can't wait to see your workout!

Dallys - I'm never in the mood for leg day. LOL!

Randi - Great workout girl! KM is a tough one! I like how you added push/pull to it as well.

Lisa - Have fun!!! :)
 
I finished my workout. Now I really hve to hurry and get my errands run. Found out I am picking up grandchildren from school all week. Workout was Tracey's Sweatfest step segment #1, then I did Kimberly Spreen Kickbox Bootcamp no w/up or str.. I held 3# dumbbells for most of the cardio portions. I then did Butts and Butts Leg blast. On the leg blast weights were
walking lunges 12# dumbbells
1 leg squats 20# dumbbell
hammer punches no weight
lunge squat combos I held 10# dumbbells
fire walkers the green band
low pulse lunges 12# dumbbell
leg press 20# dumbbell

Lisa, glad you found Eion's site useful. I think I need magically hips after my leg workoutLOL

Penney, I try to remember everyone's posts. Sometimes I post and come back and reread and then edit to add comments.

Hello everyone!

This morning I did BM2 b/c I never got to it yesterday. I ended up spending waaay to much time at our new Kohl's with my sister. But that was fun. Then I went home and watched movies with DH. That gambling one with Drew Barrymore and Wild Hogs. That was funny. Sure didn't burn any calories though. I'm sad to say that I was pretty tired by the end of BM2 and had to drop from the 15# to TEN pounds for shoulder presses. Sheeesh! What a weenie!!! I was so tired after the pushups! Well, and all that cardio. :)

Lora - You asked if I liked Children's Services. I did except for some of the reports I typed that were oh so very sad. But mostly I liked it b/c I love to type, in case you haven't noticed. ;) But I was in college and I knew it wasn't a long-term thing for me. I'm not sure I would have liked it so much if I knew I had to do it day in and day out forever. It might have been too depressing. It depends on how much you can remove yourself. I was much younger then.

Char - GREAT job on the calorie burn!!!

Debbie - Awesome leg workout! Yeah, I bet it was just that corrosion. You'll probably be all set on your HR monitor now.

Storm - I can't believe your abs aren't sore. Amazing!

Meg - That must have been some shift you worked! :) I'm glad you're on the upswing. I hope things get better and better for you. We've sure missed you around here.

Penney - I hope you have a GREAT workout today! I'm glad you're feeling better finally.

Dallys - Hope you get a ride in. And enjoy slimming down with your Slim Series. :p

Randi - Great workouts! I hope you enjoy all the little doggies at work.

Lisa - I hope you enjoy your bike ride too!

Diane Sue - Another great workout. Have fun picking up the grandkids.

Back to work. It's DEFINITELY been a Monday!

Hi all,

I still enjoy following your thread and reading about your workouts etc.

Fitness Freak - You look great! I was wondering, you never indicate that you do floor work. Do you only do the standing leg work and cardio? I personally hate floorwork, and I'm always looking for an excuse to justify why I don't do it. No my legs aren't perfect, but walking lunges with weight seem to help the most. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Tracy
 
Tracy - I haven't done floor work in a long time. I don't see a need for me to do it. As long as I like what I see in the mirror, then I'll just do what I'm doing. It's good to add in every once in a while, though. Variety is the key. Lift heavy, eat well. :) That's my motto.

>That was funny.

Suz

OMG! I watched "Wild Hogs" yesterday too!:D
 
Whoa! I did Bootcamp today!! I loved every minute of it!! OK OK, I did skip the terminators, I needed a water break! LOL! But it was a great WO and I am SURE I burned atleast 1500 calories! I had to shower right away cuz I haven't smelled that bad in a while! Hehe.

Deb- glad to be back. I was rocking to Seether during my WO.

Suz- thank you for missing me. I missed all of you too. My shoulders are my weakest part, I had to drop weights during presses too.

Dallys- hope you get your bike ride in today!
