Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for October 2022!!

[WD]

Today I did Raw Strength and Balance that Kelly just put up. I stopped at the stop point of doing all moves two times. She decides she went a little light and said you can stop there or continue as she was adding another set of all of the moves (only one). This was 35 minutes, heart rate 92/117, 84 calories. I followed this with CDorner Fun Crazy Cardio Core, (not so much fun to me, must be my mood) , 35 minutes, 162 calories, heart rate 118/147, 2,142 steps. This was balance & cardio moves with moves on the floor(no crunches in this one). I finished with CDorner 20 minute stretch and mobility, 23 minutes, 37 calories. Total time was 93 minutes, 283 calories, 2,408 steps
I think I did too much plank and on hands work and my shoulder did some snapping and hurts so I am sure this had to do with my not liking the core cardio. Kelly's Balance was plenty of core work on it's own.

Coffey Fit Raw Strength and Balance Oct 25
Kelly starts with 15# and 10# dumbbell requires 1. Suggests try to go heavier if you can at 20#, 12#, and 10# Also she suggests flat bottom shoes and not cushy ones for best doing balance work.
45 seconds work each move All moves are done twice and if you go to the end of the workout once more

bicep curl on one leg (started with 15# and dropped to 10 the last two reps) all right side 45 seconds then all left side seconds repeat 2nd set I used 12# dumbbell

Scale Kickback 10# dumbbell both sets

lateral leg raise with 1 arm overhead press 8# dumbbell and dropped to 5# after attempting for the rest of it

Bird Dog Raw 12# dumbbell both sets

Bridge bench press she says heavy 10# dumbbell both sets as I have to be careful of chest work

This is where she says that you can stop or go through all moves one more time with her.

I forwarded to the stretch. I did back yesterday and am not up for that much today.

Checking in with Tracy 40 min All Standing No Repeat Low Impact Cardio. Really liked this and for low impact, I worked up quite a sweat. Definitely high intensity.

Diane, its not you. I watched CDorner Fun Crazy Cardio and, other than that Donna being a major distraction, it looked kinda boring. She probably can't get too creative with ding dong Donna. She has absolutely no coordination. She was even late to the workout. I really don't know why she has her in workouts.

Doreen, I don't think I will get in on the STS. I am not that big into weight lifting. I tend to like cardio drills with my weights and I don't like "parts" weight work. So 15 dvds are waaaaay more than I need. Love Cathe, but there is a lot of good workouts on YT. I looking forward to seeing clips, though and maybe she will throw in a bonus total body dvd sold separately.

This morning I did Kelly's Power Splits Upper Body workout. I had a great workout and like this one a lot. It's tough if you go heavy. I used moderate weights and those pretty much did it for me, especially the shoulder presses. I went to failure on those.

3 sets of 50 seconds on/10 seconds off (although I rested a bit longer between exercises)

Incline Chest Press: 20's
Incline Triceps Extension: 12's
Incline Alternate Row: 12's (this one triggered something in my upper back the last time I did it so I went light)
Shoulder Press: 12's
Hammer Curls: 15's

Kickboxing Finisher - Used 2# dumbbells (this would be a great add on if needed)

Workout was 40 minutes, burned 307 calories, and HR was 127/174. Good workout.

Doreen - I'm toying with getting the workouts but not sure if I want DVD's. I'd like to start a program like this again but worried about all my aches and pains. We'll see. I'll keep an eye on the clips she releases.

Diane - After my workout today I had a few minutes to view the Strength and Balance workout. That actually looks like a good one for balance and I might try it one of these days. I'm sure it's not a huge calorie burner, though. Good job with your workouts yesterday. I won't do any CDorner workouts with Donna in it. She is annoying. She always looks drunk.

Cam - How is your mom doing? I hope she is getting better. LMAO on your comment of "Ding Dong Donna", So true!!! LOL! I also don't know why Chris has her in her workouts, it's just stupid. I'm sure all of Chris's sheep followers love Donna.

Have great workouts today everyone!!! Kick BUTT!!!

Yesterday was rest day #1 for the week. Today I did a 40 minute uphill walk on the TM, traveled 2.3 miles and burned 362 calories. Next, I did Gym Style Shoulders only, and had an excellent workout. Total calories burned was 551 and workout time was 61 minutes.

Seated Overhead Press DB's- 15's x 12, x 12, x 12

Lateral Raise- 8's x 12, x 12, x 12
No bands Finisher, I did Lateral Raise again burn out- 5's x 30

Rear Flys- 8's x 12, x 12, x 12

Upright Rows- 10's x 12, x 12, x 12

I could have gone heavier on every exercise, but I do not want to push it yet. Shoulder still hurts on while I sleep so I suppose I need to find a PT and get to the bottom of this issue. I think my collar bone is not moving like it should when I use my arm. I need some sort of exercises to fix the issue. I will look on Youtube first, it is amazing what you can find on this channel.

Debbie, great job with the workout! I am not going to get Cathe's STS, I will get it On Demand if I decide to do it. How can she do any better than the original STS? I am sure it is very similar but with more compound moves which I hate. I am going to focus more on steps and use the dvd workouts that I already own or do some other workouts on Youtube.

Doreen, Read above what I wrote to Debbie regarding purchasing STS. I think I have been there done that!

Cam, great job on the workouts this week! I am with you on STS, I do not need another weight workout, I like the workouts online for free!

Diane Sue, I have to get some more Turmeric, I am out of stock. I am going to try to find some free info online to help my shoulder issue, I think the doctors really do not know what to do for the issue. Since I won't take drugs, I am not wanting to go. However, my primary doctor wants me to go to try to get them to give me Prolotherapy injections that I had requested, or even plasma injections but I doubt they will do it. I have read that this helps tremendously well with the issue that I have. Nice workouts lately.

Roselyn, great job on the workout.

Belinda, glad to hear that you made it to Germany and that Sadie did well on the flight. Good luck with everything this week and I am glad to see you are getting some steps in after your long travel day.

Make it a wonderful day.

 

[dmerz]

This morning I did a 25 mintue rowing workout - a pressue ladder - fancy name for intervals!!

I forgot that LITE has the body part splits as add-ons. I will try to add those after a bike or rowing workout next week if I remember and have time.

It took me 3 and a half hours to go to the arthritis doctor, get blood work, and my prescription which I had called on 3 days ago and they had to fill it while I waited. I will get in a workout tomorrow. I told my doctor about my bone problem on my toe joint and he said if it is causing a lot of pain I can get an injection or just wait. I said I would wait. I can work out on it so, no to an injection. Otherwise he says hydroxychloraquine will not stop what is happening. I am not going for strong meds at this point. I am a lot more active than most 70 year olds. I watched some videos on youtube with the owner of the company I am going to purchase my curcumin from. He has a youtube channel with discussions and pod casts. He has a patent on the formula for the curcumin products he sells. There are several products all with curcumin in them, one has hemp and curcumin. I am going to order the advanced pro one that my friends doctor has her taking. She purchases hers at her doctor office. UltraCur® Advanced - The Power of Three! (ultrabotanica.com)
I also ran out of vitamin E and am going for tocatrienols this time without tocopherals. I am interested in the Ultrabotanica powdered supplement that has some greens, herb and plant blends along with curcumin in it. They offer 3 day samples but you have to pay shipping for them. I would just go with at least a one-month supply.

Cam, the funny thing was that Chris did not show Donna on the picture of the workout. She is also in the mobility as well. I started that and did another one. Interesting that Donna is 70. I think Chris did not seem to be pleased that she showed up late and with her boyfriend. I guess she is pretty forgiving though as she was still encouraging. Donna did seem really uncoordinated. I felt some compassion for her, but do not enjoy watching her in the workouts. I tried to concentrate on Chris. I was tired and that was a mood buster for sure. They seem to be good friends. There is a guy that she has on at times, and I hate watching him as well. I just skip the workouts when I see him there. She cancelled todays for some reason. Nice work on the all standing no repeat cardio with Tracy Steen. I will have to check that one out.

Debbie, nice work on Power Splits today. I keep trying to build up on overhead presses, but it really is hard even with 8# as I feel my muscles shake as I extend. Oddly that did not affect my shoulder as much as triceps kickbacks and the rows I did yesterday. I felt like something caught and made an audible pop. Then it seemed to relax and be okay till later and it was sort of a quick catch. It is achy today and I am going to forego some moves for a few days. We did rainbow moves overhead and pulleys in PT so I am not sure what it is. My shoulder may be a bit achy from the bench press and plank as well.
I did like the strength and balance work. I think balance is important to work on. No, it is not a real calorie burner. Nothing is a much of a calorie burner for me. I have just decided that my size and weight affect my calories burns even when I ramp the workouts up. I need to rewrite the Strength and Balance before I print it up and add to my binder. My Raw binder is getting full. I may have to start a number 2 one.

Doreen, I am interested in the new STS 2.0, but am sure I would not be doing it that heavy. I may not pre-order though. I will wait. The price as usual is good. I worry about putting all of those workouts on my external drive and they sure take up space on the computer and devices when I download them. I have a lot on my tablet. I put the user guides on my tablet so I can open it up and look at the workouts.

Jolie, I always go online and check out symptoms and look for things to help me decide what I need and can try for my problems before I take it to a doctor. I just think they often do not pay enough attention or something. Or they have certain guidelines and just do what is taught them and no further into finding the real problem. I think maybe a doctor that does naturopathic stuff like my friend has or if one can afford it a naturopath. I was thinking maybe a DO would be better. My problem is, being 70 and on Medicare makes it hard to find a doctor that would take me, so I end up sticking with what I have. I decided not to mention my rib and sternum pain. It comes and goes and I am pretty sure I know what it is. I will deal with it to see if it goes away and if not I will tell my primary doctor when I go in for my yearly in January or so. It is something that they do not generally do much for and often goes away on it's own eventually. I am sure I aggravate it when I work out sometimes. I know for one thing, not all Curcumin products are the same. I went through a lot when I had the surgery and used high doses to avoid the pain meds and muscle relaxants. I have read stuff on prolotherapy. I remember Dr Axe saying something about him and his wife getting it. For some reason I think they went out of country and got it. I may be wrong though. Maybe it was some stem cell thing.
Great job on shoulders today.

 

[cam64]

Checking in with ICE Boot Camp + Blizzard Blast. I really like this workout. It's is no joke! I am always get pretty winded from this one.

Debbie, my mom is doing better. It's been a stressful week and therapy is working with her on getting her strength up. She is so weak. I had a stern talk with the head nurse and she seems to have list listened to me. She seems to be getting a lot of attention. For $2000 + more a month ($8,000), they better give her lots of care. Ridiculous how much she is being charged. And then she's lucky if there is nursing coverage. Ugh! My brother just flew in so that helps.

Taking my dog for a walk tonight. Good workouts everyone!

This morning I did RAW Box & Pump 2 and had a good workout. I think this is my favorite Box & Pump, it has great 80's music and is just fun and goes by really quick. I went light with the weights because I've been lifting all week.

Boxing Drill
Squat Rows: 12's - 16 reps
Run Rows: 8's - lots of reps

Boxing Drill
Overhead Press: 12's - 16 reps (I did overhead shrugs)
Connected Front/Side Raise: 5's

Boxing Drill (I did this)
Overhead Triceps Extension: 10#
Run Kickbacks: 8's/5's (triceps are really sore, 8's were killing me)

Boxing Drill
Chest Flies: 15's - 16 slow reps
Run Press: 8's - lots of reps
Ab work: 5's
Hammer Curls: 12's - 16 reps
Run Curls: 8's - lots of reps

Workout was 41 minutes, burned 356 calories (woo hoo!), did 3325 steps and HR was 138/168. Love this workout.

Jolie - I think going to a PT is a good decision, I am very happy I went with my two issues. That is odd that sleeping on your side does that. I sleep on my right side every night all night and that hasn't happened to me. And we have an Xtra firm memory foam matress, that thing is hard as a rock. I agree, YouTube has some good stuff on it. Great job with your workout. I'm on the fence about STS, I didn't realize it was 15 DVD's. The first one is only 5 DVD's (I think).

Diane - Sorry for what you went through yesterday, what a pain all that has to be! Those popping noises scare me. It's funny because they don't hurt. My knee did that yesterday and it freaked me out. It was loud and I could feel it when it happened but it didn't hurt. And that is the knee I'm getting the MRI on. Weird.

Cam - Glad she is doing a bit better. Healthcare is in such dire straights right now. We can thank the vaccination mandate for that. My DH worked at an assisted living/alzheimer's facility and when the mandate came out almost half the workers walked out, him included. I don't think anyone has any idea what harm all that did to our work environment.

Belinda - Thinking about you, hope all is going good for you. I'm sure you are enjoying your family.

Have a great workout everyone!!

I did a 50 minute ride this morning. The trainer was in Iceland and I can't believe they didn't postpone the shoot- It was raining sideways and the trainer was being blown on his bike! You could tell he was trying hard to stay positive about it. The end was a pretty cool waterfall into a cave - that really makes you stay on the ride until the end because there is no capability to fast-forward on these!

 

[Jolie Fit]

Today I had a great workout, I did Cathe's Gym Style Back and Biceps and added in legs at the end. I substituted a few exercises to suit my issue and the workout was still great. Actually, I thought it was too easy and I used the same weights as Cathe. I love my cable machine, so I use that often when doing Back. I find that when I use cables and or gym equipment I do not get as hurt as when I use free weights. Total workout time was 47 minutes and I burned 324 calories.

Wide Grip Pull Downs- 50# x 12, x 12, x 12

1 Arm Rows- 20# x 12, x 12

Narrow Grip Pull Downs- 50# x 12, x 12, x 12

Cable Pullovers- 30# x 12, x 12

Deadlifts- 30# BB x 12, x 12, x 12

BB Bicep Curls- 30# x 12, x 12

DB Parcel Curls- 10's x 40

Conc. Curls- 12# x 12, x 12, x 12

Curl Up Roll Downs- 10's x 12, x 12

Hammer Curls- 12's x 12, x 12, x 12

No wrist Curls

Leg Ext.- 50# x 12, x 12, x 12, x 12

Debbie, great job on the workout today. I love 80's music, I listen to it when I walk, I never listen to the current music, or at least I rarely do. My collar bone is sore today from sleeping again, amazing how they say there is nothing wrong with it. There is still a knot on it, and it can get so sore, I worked my traps yesterday, did a lot of stretching and used the massager gun, maybe it is just sore from that. I am sick of this crap, I need to find someone that can really help me with this issue.

Diane Sue, thanks for the link for the supplements, I will check it out and get some! I am all of a sudden out of a lot of supplements, I need to get an order in asap. Bummer about your doctors appointment yesterday, I absolutely hate going to the doctors, it seems to be an all day thing lately. Also, they have such a bad attitude towards me if I do not do exactly what they say, which I never do, their egos get hurt. I hope you get in a good workout today. I cannot believe that you are 70 years young!!!!

Cam, great job with the workout, I remember loving that series. I love the ICE Muscle Meltdown premix, I added that to the end of my cardio workouts. Maybe I will do those next! I hope your mom gets the care that she needs.

Roselyn, nice job on the workout yesterday.

Doreen, I would not ride a bike in the rain, especially in Iceland LOL! How do you like your rowing machine?

Make it a great day. Cool an sunny here today, I love Fall weather.

Quick check in with Penny No Repeat Power Hour. Loved it! Nice amou t of cardio and challenging weight work. Getting ready for company this weekend.

About to take my dog on a walk. Just about every night we go somewhere new. She loves it.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Today I did Tracy Steen Sweaty Standing Abs and Low Impact Cardio 49 minutes, 212 calories, heart rate 118/155, 2,181 steps. I then did Coffey Fit Raw Glute Finisher with the fabric Band, 24 minutes, 62 calories, heart rate 90/114, 822 steps. I got a late start and had things I needed to get done. My granddaughter texted during the last part of my workout wondering if I got her wedding invitation and if I had rsvp on it. I didn't see the rsvp as I hung it on the refrigerator and a magnet was on top of the rsvp. I am not sure how tomorrow will go. I may need to go into town early to drop off a package and I have a Whole 30 order coming around 8 in the morning. My workout today was 71 minutes, 74 calories, and 3003 steps. Tracy's workout was pretty good and she used light dumbbells for all but a couple of moves. No jumping at all in this. I wish she had better music though.

Debbie, I love that Box and Pump workout and the music. Great job today. After the popping and some discomfort in my shoulder and arm I decided to be careful today. Maybe tomorrow or Saturday I can get a decent weight workout in. My big worry with the snapping is I worry I am pulling something apart from the surgery. It seems to be an angle thing. I keep moving it around to keep it mobile. I am assuming that the bicep tendon being held by a plastic screw would heal together at some point since they had me lifting weights around at PT and they surgeon wanted me to really work at being able to reach my hand behind and up my back. My knees pop like that sometimes. But then there is the time it got stuck and was really painful. I mentioned that before. I know it was out of place though as I figured out the next time how to push it back into place and the pain stopped. I now am very careful about getting my feet under me right to stand up.

Doreen, I bet the different locations and riders make the workouts interesting. Funny that they filmed, and he kept going with rain and wind. The waterfall and cave would be beautiful.

Jolie, great workout. I keep trying to remember which workout of Cathe's has certain moves I remember and could use. I should look at my work sheets or the workout manager and I could probably figure it out. Gym Styles is a really good workout series. I miss having cables to use. I used to have the Bowflex and before that a wall mounted system with the cables. Maybe it is because you already had something wrong and sleeping on your side aggravates it. I think my doctor thinks I am a lost cause as I am not there asking for more meds. I just want suggestions that will help, and he only knows medicine or an injection. I always worry about hitting my traps very hard because they generally get knots and I end up with pain up my neck and the burning knot. I had a bit of a knot yesterday and this morning. I did a stretch move that I discovered that seems to really help. Chris Dorner puts it into some of her mobility workouts but does not hold it long enough. She uses a chair, and puts her elbows on the chair, you reach back with your hands toward your shoulders and rest your head in between on the chair and hold it in that position for a while. It stretches out the triceps and upper back pretty well. I did that several times after my workout today and it quit bothering me. I have the curcumin formula coming tomorrow. The patent they have on it is called LPS or (liquid protein scaffold) which is NAC liquid that gets the curcumin into the system faster and more efficiently. The doctor pointed out that I have turned seventy and asked how it feels to be 70. I guess if I was in a wheelchair or something he probably would not have asked. I know a lot of people my age that can hardly get around, so I feel pretty good.


Cam, nice work with Penny Power Hour workout. I know if I took my dog for walks she would love it. I just don't. Too many other dog walkers out around here and I think the cat that sits on our front doorstep is our neighbor's cat.

Well, it is raining again. I just mopped up all of the muddy doggy footprints from the rain a couple of days ago. Oh well, off to bed.

 

[Jolie Fit]

Today is going to be rest day #2 for the week, I have plans to work out all weekend long, I love to walk on my TM while watching football games. I am sore from yesterday's, I wonder why I get DOMS again, it has been a long time. I slept pretty good last night, I woke up on my shoulder and it was not painful like it was in the past. Things are looking up!

Great job on the workouts everyone and I hope you all have a great weekend.

 

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Today I did not feel like working out at all plus I lifted enough this week and did way too much boxing. That seems to be the only things I can do right now. I decided to walk on my treadmill although I had to go really slow at 2.5 mph and that almost felt too fast for my knee.

Workout was 34 minutes, burned 351 calories (which is WAY HARD to believe), went 1.4 miles, did 3696 steps and HR was 153/174 (again, WAY HARD to believe at that slow speed).

I can't wait to go home, I'm just really run down this week. Looking forward to the weekend.

No time for personals, I hope you all have a great weekend!!! Great workouts everyone!!

 

[dmerz]

We try to take the dog out for a walk every day - otherwise he runs zoomies in the house like a crazy boy! I try to take him out for a walk in the morning too. I feel better leaving him for the day knowing he's already done his business.

I'm trying to finish up the Fit for Fall bike challenge on Ifit so today was another ride. This one was seated and standing intervals along a lake in Iceland. There were only 12 rides in this challenge and I had all month so i don't know why I'm having to cram the last 3 into the last of the month - I guess I did too much other stuff early in the month.

The band assisted dips in the latest picture of STS 2.0 looks fun - but would require another equipment purchase of those dip bars. So I may need to wait and watch the modifications. A month of On Demand to evaluate the equipment may be necessary!

 

[Fitnessfreakk366]

My insurance denied my MRI. Now I have to go see an Orthopedic surgeon to see if they can do anything before they decide to do an MRI. I'm pissed at my insurance company about this, why do we pay insurance for our lifetime and not reap the benefits? But on the other hand, I'm sort of glad. I actually thought that should have been the next step but my doctor decided to go right for the MRI. So we'll see. I feel like there is just fluid in my knee, maybe it just needs to be drained which really freaks me out. If they do that I hope they twilight me.

Have a great weekend everyone!!
