Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for October 2015

I just did some yoga and stretching Saturday and Sunday. I am still not ready for the Beast. I got my report back from the doctor and my rheumatoid arthritis tests showed a slight elevation. They keep diagnosing osteoarthritis. Anyway lately I have had lots of pain in multiple joints. I was doing so well too :( Anyway, today I did URX MT Greg Cook metabolic intervals and circuits on my rebounder. I did a Sarah Beth You Tube Yoga for pre-workout and post workout with this. Time was 74 minutes and calories burned 402. I had to skip the jump push ups because my wrists were hurting before I started. I modified in some moves and only used the 2# sand weights when he used weights when he used them. Doing nothing makes the pain worse too. I refuse to be too much of a complainer. I just need to work through this and find what works. I added a new supplement that is Omega with Collagen II and glucosamine. I am hoping it helps. It was pretty expensive. Eating anti-inflammatory and low histamine is tough. Trying to stay Paleo as well.

Roselyn, nice work on the weights.

Debbie, great job on the forced sets. Those can be a lot more brutal than one would think.
 
Beast cardio and abs

Diane Sue, sorry about your arthritis, my mom has rheumatoid. Take care of yourself

I am still going back and forth about beach body coaching seriously, I did start a page just to see what happens, to post what I eat and free challenges, not quite ready to tell about my eating disorder years but starting to get the courage.
 
Today was Bulk: Arms. Had a great workout. Also walked on my treadmill for 1 mile afterwards. I used the weights as last time but went up with kickbacks, Next time I need to up it with a few other exercises.

This is what I did:

Progressive Set:
Standing Dunbbell Curl: 10's/12's/15's - 15's/12's/10's - 15/12/8 - 8/12/15 reps

Single Set:
Dumbbell Tricep Extension: 20#/25#/30#/25# - 15/12/8/8 reps

Force Set:
Wide Grip Barbell Curl: 30# - 5 sets/5 reps, no rest and no putting weight down

Single Set:
Skull Crusher: 25#/30#/35#/30# - 15/12/8/8 reps

Progressive Set
Concentration Hammer Curl: 10#/12#/15# - 15#/12#/10# - 15/12/8 - 8/12/15 reps each arm

Progressive Set
One-Arm Kickbacks: 8#/10#/12# - 12#/10#/8# - 15/12/8 - 8/12/15 reps each arm

Weighted Crunch - 10# - 30 reps

Diane Sue - I'm so sorry to hear about your arthritis, that has to be so annoying. I wish they'd have something that would make it more comfortable for you. I worry about getting that as well. There are times my finger joints hurt for no reason. Scares me.

Roselyn - I wish you well with your coaching. I had no idea you had an eating disorder. And you don't have to talk about that time of your life, but if you do get the courage, you might be able to help someone who is going through something similar. It's nothing to be ashamed about.
 
Today I did Kelly Coffey's Slim sculpting no overhead mix using a 15 kettle bell (I usually 20) 60 minutes, 318 calories. I am generally going with the Polar and calories burned app net calories. Interesting though that Polar app gives me a higher calorie burn than the watch even though both are working off of the same strap and transmitter. If I used Map My Fitness I burned 4 calories But when I log My Fitness Pal I change it if Map My Fitness Puts a higher burn in it. I finished off with Sarah Beth Yoga on You Tube doing daily challenge are all 15 minutes. So today was Tuesday's challenge. Need to get going. I told my grandson I would take him to the bank when he gets home.

Roselyn, if it is really difficult to share and makes you feel bad reliving it don't do it but, if you would like to and feel strong enough to share it could help someone else in the same situation.

Debbie, it used to be that my finger joints would just ache and it got where it would switch which fingers would ache and they would sometimes swell or even turn dark. Then they started clicking and snapping through movement. Now I have my two middle fingers that sometimes catch shut when I am doing a task like peeling the foil off a new bottle or pulling sheets up or something. I have to pry it open with the other hand. The doctor said she could send me to a neurologist who could use a needle to open it up and it would help for awhile but generally it will get where they stay closed and it would entail surgery. I am not wanting to do that.

Today I did Cardio Coach #6 with Candace and did Challenge #1, 2 and 4. I couldn't lift a weight today if i tried. I am so sore. I think I'll have to skip both the leg and shoulder workouts this week because I don't think I'll be working out on Friday. I have to work late Thursday and I won't want to get up that early on Friday. We'll see.

Workout today was 47 minutes, ran 3.13 miles and burned 337 calories. Treadmill said 438 calories, like those numbers better!!

Hope you all have great workouts!!

I didn't have much time this morning. I did Kelly Coffey Lean Body Circuits workout 1, 29 minutes, 278 calories. I used 15 lb for most of it but dropped to 10's for the overhead stuff. I generally use 20's for most of it but didn't want to push it. I will do yoga later today.

Roselyn nice work on legs)

Debbie, I can really feel the difference with shoulders and tiny increments. Nice job increasing weight.
 
No workout for me today, I worked really late last night. So I'm done until Monday. :) I need the break, so that's fine by me!!

Have a great weekend!!
 
Today I did Kelly Coffey Muscle Up workout 2 which is legs and arms, 30 minutes, 134 calories. I then did Turbo Fire Low Hiit 20, 20 minutes, 125 calories. I found another You Tube Channel Pointed out to me with rebounding workouts, Arnita Champion. She has other workouts too, that are not on the rebounder. She is very inspiring and the workouts look good. Today I did a rebounder 4 m tabata abs workout. It was actually 8 minutes because she explains a bit of what you are doing and then you warm up (I was already bouncing) and she warms you up and shows the moves, then the 4 minute Tabata workout. I burne52 calories with this. I finished off with the daily yoga with Sarah Beth which was Fridayy, Hatha hip opening 15 minutes, 41 calories. Total time spent 73 minute and calories burned 352.
Weights were as follows:
all are super sets done twice each:

Roselyn, I hope that your time off is nice.

Sumo squats 25's x 8 reps Super set with bridge 25 x 16r

Alternating lunge 25's x 8 reps super set with Stiff Leg Deadlift 30's x 8 reps

Curtsy Squat 20's by 8reps right then repeat left superset with frog squat bodyweight x 16 reps

Flip curls 4 reps alternating then 4 reps pledge curls alternating 8 total reps x 15's superset with skull crushers 15's by 8reps

Seated side curls 20's x 8 reps superset with overhead triceps extensions 25 x 8 reps

Hello ladies. Long time no see. Wanted to pop in and say HI. Been a rough couple years with sick parents. I am back in the game, slowly. Diana and Debbie. Hello. Where's Charolette?
Today is after burn. and some piyo. Take care. Nice seeing ya still on here.
 
Welcome back Anne. I understand how it is dealing with sick parents. I lost my Dad a little over a year ago. It is rough. I haven't seen Charlotte around in a long time.
Are you doing a rotation?

Today was Bulk: Chest. Had a great workout. I stayed the same with the weights as last week and really struggled on a few exercises. I hate how fast he does the Progressive Set exercise. Very dangerous. I always go my own pace but then they are way ahead of me. Not sure why they have to do that so fast?

This is what I did:

Super Set:
Incline Dumbbell Fly: 15's/20's/25's - 15/12/8 reps
Incline Dumbbell Press: 20's/25's/30's/25's - 15/12/8/8 reps

Forced Set:
Chest Press w/ Rotation: 20's - 5 sets of 5 reps no rest (went up here, last two sets were brutal)

Progressive Set:
Incline Press: 20's/25's/30's - 30's/25's/15's - 15/12/8-8/12/15 reps

Combo Set:
Close Grip Press to Flye: 12's/15's/20's - 15/12/8 reps

Multi Set
Pushups: 15/12/8 reps
Russian Twist: 30 seconds (did this twice)

Anne - So good to see you back! I'm sorry about your parents, I know what you are going through. Char hasn't checked in here in a while. I PM her here and there and she is still doing great!!!
 
Today I did X Train all out low impact Hiit and Core 1, 50 minutes, 325 calories. I need to get out for errands and see if I can get my flu shot out of the way today. I am still taking it slow with the weights and what I do. I will work the areas that are not painful and try to get the flexibility and mobility stuff in everyday. I generally have been getting some yoga in in the evenings. That helps me sleep. I may hit the doctor again on my neck though. It is improving a bit but really hits me in the afternoons and mornings. I am avoiding the Advil. I have taken way to much of that stuff. I really wanted to continues another 6 weeks of Beast but I think I may have to give it up for now.
