I don't know how Cathe does those Lower Chest Incline Flyes with 12's. My God those are hard! I'm hoping to be able to get a bit heavier with those because I really feel it.

I really love this workout! Very fun exercises!
 
This morning I did Party Rockin Step #2 plus the bonus material from #1, 76 minutes, 509 calories. I then did the abs from Lean Legs and Abs. I am hoping to figure out how to get weights in tomorrow.

Debbie, I particularly like Burn Sets. It is nice to be able to do it as set or pick one or two body parts and do them. I also like to add the delt bonus in to those workouts as well.

Roselyn, nice work.
 
Today I did one of my Cardio Coach Mixes and had a good workout. I almost didn't workout, I was so tired when I got up this morning. But I soldiered through. I did well, infact. Glad I did it!

Workout was 42 minutes, ran 2.5 miles and burned 371 calories.

Hope you all have a great day!!! Rain all day again. :(
 
This morning I did T 25 Gamma Pyramid, 29 minutes, 191 calories. I then did Lean legs and abs no core or stretch, 32 minutes, 22 calories. I finished with Great Glutes skipping the warm up, 40 minutes, 252 calories. Total time was 1hr. 41 min. and calories 666. Not superstitious but normally I will add a bit to get past 666. I know that is silly :) I did pick up 15's instead of Cathe's 8's for some moves and used light weights for some moves that used nothing. I also used the blue firewalker band.
 
Today I did Xtrain Legs - I did the Standing and Barre sections of the workout. I had a great workout and my legs are jello right now. I like the Barre section, that one kills. I'm assuming that is what Ballerina's do when they train. No wonder they are so thin and lilthe!

Love this series. I need to explore more of the workouts. I'm hoping to have time this weekend to watch Burn Sets and Super Cuts. I'd like to check out Hard Strikes, too.

Diane Sue - LOL! That's funny about the superstitious remark. I'm the same way with the number 13. LOL! I can't finish or start anything when the clock is at 13 after. Isn't that weird? And I'm not superstitious either.

You all had great workouts yesterday! Nice job! Have a great FRIDAY! :eek:
 
This morning I did Kelly Coffey Shape Up both workouts 54 minutes, 400 calories. I then did Kelly's Muscle Definition biceps(missing from shape up), triceps, and abdominals, 37 minutes, 228 calories. 91 minutes, 628 calories.
 
Yesterday i did kickboxing today no workout. Left last night for springfield and brought my son home today from college, first year done!!

So back at it tomorrow.
 
Today I did Les Mills Combat Ultimate Warrior, 56 min., 366 calories. I followed with 25 minutes on the Treadclimber, 250 calories. I finished off with Combat Core Attack, 18 minutes, 85 calories. Total time 1 hr 40 min. , 701 calories. I ordered P90X3 with my Amazon gift cards that I got for Mother's Day. I hope I can find my pull up bar. If not I will be subbing on some of it.

Yesterday I did Tabatacise today was focus T25 Speed and some pilates work.

Debbie let us know how P90X3 is and FINALLY i am buying a HR monitor which do you have and/or would you recommend.
 
Hi everyone! This morning I did Burn Sets - Chest, Back & Shoulders. Wow, what an excellent workout that was! I had a great time and went pretty heavy considering. I think I can go even heavier next time.

I wonder why Cathe didn't do a burn set for Legs. The only leg workout in this series is the the one I've done a few times already. She should have done a burn set for legs. Oh well...

This is what I did:

CHEST
Dumbbell Chest Press - 25's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 14 reps
Dumbbell Chest Fly - 20's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 12 reps
Incline Dumbbell Chest Press - 25's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 11 reps
Pushups - 16 reps

BACK
One Arm Row - 25# - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 12 reps
Double Arm Row - 15's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 10 reps
Rear Delt Fly - 10's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 12 reps
Supermans - 24 reps - used no tubing

SHOULDERS
Dumbbell Overhead Press - 10's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 9 reps
Single Arm Lateral Raise - 5# - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 10 reps
Single Arm Rear Delt Raise - 5# - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 10 reps
Scarecrows - Skipped (way too hard on my upper back

Again, had a great workout!! Loved this one!!!! Can't wait to do Bi's & Tri's on Wednesday!!!

Roselyn - You were right, this was an excellent workout! Loved it! And I don't have P903X. Also, I used to use a HR monitor I got from Wal Mart, it was the best one I ever owned. But I haven't been using it in a long time. I'm tired of the wearing it and the chest strap kept sliding down. Very annoying.
 
The website was down this morning.

Today I did Cardio Coach #3 and had an ok workout. I was so tired and just wanted to go back to bed. I really had to push myself to get on my treadmill this morning.

Workout was 37 minutes, burned about 335 calories and ran 2.25 miles.

I viewed Hard Strikes. Wow, that one looks a bit hard and not to upper body friendly. I wish they would have had someone doing modified ways to do each section. I thought it was going to be a sort of kickboxing workout but no luck. :( Oh well... I may try it one day to see how much of it I can do without hurting myself.
 
Wow, is this website slow lately or what? Maybe it's just my computer? It took me almost 5 minutes to get to this point to post my workout. Yikes!

Today I did Burn Sets Bi's and Tri's and had an excellent workout!! Loved this one!!!

This is what I did:

BICEPS
Dumbbell Curls - 15's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 14 reps
Simultaneous Rotational Curls - 15's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 10 reps
Concentration Curls - 20# - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 8 reps
Hammer Curl Double Arm Crazy 8's - 12's - 24 reps

TRICEPS
Tricep Pushups - 3 sets - KILLER!!!
Lying Tricep Extensions - 12's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 12 reps
One Arm Kickbacks - 8's - 2 sets 10 reps; 3rd set 12 reps
Double Arm Overhead Extension w/Tubing - 14 reps - Couldn't do the pulses, this killed me!

Fun stuff! Loved it!

Where is everyone???
 
I'm still here and have been working out. Just incredibly busy and my husband and I have been looking at houses.
I guess I left off at Saturday. Sunday was a rest day.
Monday I did P90X3 Total Synergistics with the Cold start warm up(not required but can be a 12 minute add on. I added 7 minutes of moves 1-5 and 12 because I forgot to count reps., This was 49 minutes, 257 calories. I then did P90X3 Agility X 34 minutes, 273 calories. Total time was 83 minutes, 530 calories.
Tuesday I did X train all out low impact hiit Timesaver floor, disc, core 1, 37 minutes, 227 calories. I then did P90X3 yoga 30 minutes, 85 calories, and P90X3 Pilates 30 minutes 95 calories. Total time 97 minutes, 411 calories.
Today I did the cold start warm up with the challenge workout 44 minutes, 219 calories. I then did P90X3 MMX 32 minutes, 282 calories. I finished off with Dynamix 30 minutes, 164 calories. Workout was 1 hr 46 min and calories burned 664. I just made my green smoothie of pineapple, mango, kale, ginger and coconut water. This one is pretty good.
I am liking P90X3. The MMX had quite a few sprawls in it. It really kicked it up a bit. I like the Dynamix which is to help mobility. The yoga gets a lot in for that short of time. Agility X had some long jumps and things that left my knee achy. Particularly since I am at my daughters and just did it on the carpet. Total Synergistics hit everything. Some with weights and some without. Challenge was various push ups and pull up/chin up variations. I had to use my tubing on the door. No pull up bar. I have no idea where that is packed. There is a lower and upper workout that should be worked in somewhere. I wish I would have bought the bigger set with Ab Ripper X 3 and the other two lower and upper workouts. I am surprised they left the ab ripper out of the basic package. It does have a lot of core in the other workouts though.
 
This morning I tried Xtrain All Out Low Impact Step. I loved it! it was fun and she didn't go on and on with each exercise. It was really hard on my right knee,however. I have a real hard time going down for lunges anymore and some of the exercises really hurt. I wonder if a knee brace would help? I may have to get one and see. This workout had me work up a good sweat but didn't leave me dying like a lot of her other cardio workouts do. I enjoyed it and will definitely do it again. I forgot to post for yesterdays workout that I also did the Core #1 workout. My abs are sore today along with my bi's and tri's!!!

Roselyn - Yes, Xtrain is awesome! I'm loving it!

Diane Sue - Did you sell your house? Where will you be moving to? I hope you find something soon. Me and my dh would like to move up closer to lake here in Ohio and get a house right on the lake. That is our dream.
 
Today my workout was short. I am tired. Didn't sleep much and was up at 5:30. Today wa P90X3 CVX, 34 minutes, 313 calories. I then did LIS Turbo Barre floor work and stretch, 19 minutes, 75 calories. Total time was 53 minutes, calories 388 calories.
Next time I do CVX I will be sure to do the Cold Start. It started right out with jacks with overhead presses for 1 minute. I prefer a better warm up of some sort. I really did like it though. I was checking out the other workout for this week and am sort of missing the weights. I think that there is more weight work in the second and third blocks.

Debbie, yes, we sold our house fairly quickly. We are staying at our daughters while we look for another house. That is why I am making adjustments and hunting for ways to get in workouts.
 
Today I did my own Burn Set Leg workout and then added some from Xtrain Legs. I had a great workout. Yesterday my right knee was really bothering. Badly. But today it's ok. Not great, but ok. I was able to do these exercises with minimal pain:

Dumbbell Squats - 20's - 2 sets 10 reps; 1 set 12 reps
Static Lunge - 15's - 3 sets/10 reps
Barbell Deadlifts - 42# - 2 sets 10 reps; 1 set 12 reps

Here I went to the Xtrain workout and did these selected exercises:

Low Pulse Lunges - 5# (love this exercise, burns great!)
Single Leg Deadlifts - 10's
Firewalkers - my stupid band broke. I'm so sick of having to buy these bands just to have them break after a couple months. Very frustrating
Pizza Press - No weights - These burn, love them!

That is all. I didn't want to over do it with my knee.

Diane Sue - I remember you talking about moving and actually thought you already did. Not sure how I missed all this! I need to start taking time to reading posts all the way through. Oy!!! I hope you guys find something soon.
