Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for month of February

Today I did Piyo Sweat, 38 minutes, 142 calories. All of the push ups in this made my shoulder and neck spasms start back up. I then did Les Mills Pump Step, 31 minutes, 251 calories, avg. heart rate 143/ max. 168. I finished with Z Cut Power Yoga balance plyo series and cool down, 10 minutes, 40 calories. Total time 79 minutes, 433 calories burned.
 
Today I did a mix of Cardio Coach #1 and #3. I love mixing those two together. Had an excellent workout.

Workout was 39 minutes total, ran 2.25 miles and burned 345 calories.

Diane Sue - I'm going through the same thing again. I've unused the tennis ball and it has helped. Hope yours feels better.
 
Today I did X Train Tabatacise Level 2 tabatas 1&2, 24 minutes, X train Burn Sets Biceps and Triceps, 37 minutes, using Cathe's weights for most. I dropped a bit on the curls because I could feel myself tensing the shoulders while lifting the weights. I then did Kelly Coffey's Athletic Conditioning Stretch, 24 minutes. This is a basic stretch but it is done pretty slowly and the stretches are held a bit longer and sometimes were ballistic. The time is spent mostly on lower body though. I have only used it once so wanted to do it again. Sometime I will do Athletic Conditioning again but, not too soon after other plyo or legs work. My neck feels better today but still a little off.

Debbie, I have some soft balls that I use to lean into the wall and roll on a bit. It helps. Icing helps a lot. I hate that feeling. I am trying to give it time to mend before doing shoulders and back again. I have had this happen before in the past and managed to work around it till it seemed to mend itself. Although it has been more often of late. It really hit after I did the 4 sets Ripped With Hiit week and then tried to do a 3 set the following week heavier. I pushed too hard. It is frustrating. I guess as we get older we have to learn that maybe we shouldn't do things quite the same way.

Roselyn, thanks.
 
Today I did an upper body workout on my own. I did Biceps & Shoulders. Had a great workout. Should have done an ab workout, too, but totally forgot!!!

This is what I did:

Barbell Curls: 35# - 3 sets/10 reps

It is so cold here. It is -14 and that doesn't include the windchill. I wish spring would get here, I am so tired of this deep freeze crap.

Diane Sue - I sure hope it gets better. Mine is feeling ok, but still sore and I can still feel a slight knot. I'll use the tennis ball tonight again. That really seems to work well.
 
Today I just did Ripped with Hiit Low Impact Mix 2 Extreme Low Impact Hitt two and One Mix, 48 minutes, 364 calories. I went to lunch with a friend and picked up my grandson 15 to stay for movies and a fun evening. Cooking some steaks :)

Debbie, it is supposed to snow here the first of the week. I am glad that we do not have that really freezing weather. I really hate it. But sometimes it is beautiful if I don't have to go anywhere :) My neck and shoulder is still a bit odd so I am not pushing it.
 
No workout Saturday. We had our grandson 15 overnight watching movies [emoji4] This morning I did Kelly Coffey 30 minutes to Fitness Athletic Conditioning, 36 minutes, 260 calories. Average heart rate 133/164 max. I liked this one. I had only done the first few rounds before.

Sorry I didn't check in yesterday, I didn't workout because I walked over 18,000 steps on Saturday (which equaled about 8 miles) and by the time I got home my legs and feet were numb. I could hardly move on Sunday and yesterday I took another recovery day. My calves still feel like I did 1000 calf raises! Ouch!!
