Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Monday Sept 24

[lorajc]

Morning Maniacs -

I didn't know what to do this morning since I lifted yesterday doing my Jillian Backside workout. I did Preventions Slim Sleek and Strong which is a Pilates/band based workout. They used the yellow band and I used the green thining it would be enough, but I barely felt it. That was 50" long and then I did the HIIT segment off of Abs Diet 2 on the Rebounder but again, my HR only got into the 140's....so it wasn't a very intense workout. I consider it active rest. I'll have to try and figure out what I want to do for a rotation. Until then, I'll probably stick with some functional fitness this week. Workout was 1 hour 30" and I burned 402 calories.

Have great workouts or rest days. I've got to go apply for a job that was in the paper. It's an entry level secretarial job and I'm probably just wasting my time. I hardly ever get called for a regular secretarial job that only requires a High School Diploma and 1 year of experience. I don't know why, cuz I'll work for entry level pay!!! This is so frustrating. I'm sick of this emotional rollercoaster.

Back to the iron today and it felt GREAT! Was a little worried about my forearm but it feels good so hopefully it will stay that way. I stretched it out quite a bit between exercises. It still feels a bit tight.

[font color=indigo]Back[/font][/size]
1 min. rest between everything
Wide Grip Pullups: 8/5/5
[font color=blue]***Was happy to get to 8, these felt pretty hard this morning, though.[/font]

Underhand Barbell Rows:
75# - 8/8/8/8
[font color=blue]***Loved how these felt. Low back was able to support me in a flat back position. That's really hard for me to achieve.[/font]

Dumbbell Pullovers:
45# - 10/10/10

[font color=indigo]Chest[/font][/size]
1 min. rest between everything
Barbell Bench Press:
105# - 8
115# - 6/5
[font color=blue]***Used a wider grip then normal, made this harder for me but I liked how it felt. It was hard to do full range of motion so I probably should have kept it at 105#.[/font]

Decline Flyes:
35's - 10/10/9
[font color=blue]***These felt good and no shoulder clicking for once.[/font]

High Incline Dumbbell Press:
40's - 8/8/8
[font color=blue]***Got a great pump with these. I always feel really strong with inclines.[/font]

That is all.

Morning Maniacs! Todays plan is a TT workout with HIIT and if it's not raining later today, I'll go on a bike ride.


Lora Hope the job works out for you. I'm sorry you couldn't stay at the other one. It seemed you liked it.

Debbie Great workout! I bet you're happy to be one with the iron again.}(

Diane Sue Enjoy the rest of your workout.

Toasty Your posts are getting shorter and shorter. Hope you have a great workout after work.

Marcia I did notice the "Crane" name in "Psycho" but didn't really think of the "Birds" connection. Isn't Norman so creepy?

Suz How's your weather? It's pretty chilly here this morning. Supposed to rain too.

Hi to everyone who follows!

Good morning!

This morning I did Power Hour. I love this workout. It's one of my all time favorites. Since I haven't been doing legs much my legs were shaking SO MUCH! I wish I would have gotten up earlier to do some cardio. I got up at 5:15. I need to take lessons from Lora!

Dallys - Yup, it's raining here. We have a frost warning for tonight and rain mixed with snow.

Lora - Good luck on the job search again. I know you're so tired of it. Did you ever go to one of those temp agencies?

Back to work for me. Later gators!

Hi, all.

This a.m. I did B&G leg blast premix (is that what it's called? the one without the warm up). I did B&G's warm up, then the premix stopping before the stretch, did the bonus footage (leg press, sit n stands, glute squeezes, abs on ball) then did a stretch segment from Amy's abs and stretch.

BBL.

Have a great day!

 

[needsmotivation]

Lora-That stinks about your jobx(

I did MIS and the Shiva Rea yoga. Workout was 108min.

Wish it would cool off here!!

 

[toastythemosty]

I am still working it. Did my thing on elliptical. Burned 210 cals. Gonna work abs/chest/back after dinner.

 

[lorajc]

Suz - yes, I've been signed up with a Temp Agency for a while now...but nothing!

 

[toastythemosty]

Finished workout:

Abs: various for 20 mins

Chest:
25# db's for bench 3 sets/10
35 pushups
decline flyes with 35's 3 sets/8

Back:
Lawnmowers w/40's 3 sets/8
Lat Pulldowns 80# then had to drop to 70# 3 sets/8
Chinups 5/5

Tired tonight that is why my numbers suck. I work tomorrow evening so I hope to do better as I will be more rested during day.

 

[dogs2birds]

Lora - I'm sorry. Hang in there. You're so good at keeping up with your workouts when most people would crawl under a rock! You are a very strong woman.

Char - I don't think your numbers suck at all. I think you're too hard on yourself. Especially with all you've been through. You look great!

I'm so inspired with the women here. You all amaze me!
