Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for October 2022!!

Today I had an excellent workout, I walked 4.5 miles uphill on the TM, time was 82 minutes and I burned 627 calories. I can walk forever while watching a football game, the time just flies by, and it is better than sitting watching a football game right!

Great workouts everyone, we are killing it! I am trying to walk a lot the next few months, I do not put any weight on during the holidays, I love to eat chocolate! Also, my goal is to double the amount of protein that I eat, they say this will burn fat like crazy and it will help me get my muscle back that I am losing while getting older. I want to be cut again with good muscle tone, otherwise what is the use of lifting then?!

Make it a wonderful Saturday.

Today I did LITE Cardio Party, 41 minutes, heart rate 134/164, 230 calories, 4,284 steps. I then did LITE Pyramid Pump Biceps supersets and Triceps supersets and added 2 sets of 12 reps for side lying rotator cuff rotations with a 5# dumbbell. 21 minutes, 76 calories, heart rate 105/125. I finished off wit Raw Athletic Stretch, #2, 30 minutes, heart rate 75/91. Total time was 91 minutes, 347 calories, 4,462 steps.
I loved the Raw Athletic Stretch 2. It felt good and she takes her time and also fits in some movement. The music was fun and I found myself singing the tunes.

Debbie, I don't know why insurance companies waste time and money. When I had the torn miniscus the doctor had an mri set up right away. I always drove the then 100 mile trip back to my doctor because I did not want to change doctors. I would stay with family when I came down. The insurance said no I had to do an ultrasound and X-ray first. So, I had to see a surgeon in the city we lived in and he had to get the authorization at a local hospital from the insurance. It took a long time to finally get to the mri. Also I had to pay a 1600 dollar amount that was not expected right on the day of surgery. I was sure I was not supposed to have to pay. Anyway I got a surprise 6 months post surgery when the hospital gave me back my money.
Hopefully you can get some other testing and not have to go for an mri. It seems like there would have to be a reason for fluid in the knee though.

Doreen once in in a while my dog who is turning grey gets super peppy and is jumping and running like crazy. She must have got a bunch of energy the last three days because she has been bouncing all over the place and wanting us to play. Yesterday I was lying on the floor doing my stretching and she came flying in leaped over my head and grabbed her bone then came over to me jumping around and took off to get my husband to play with her. She did the same when I was trying to mop the floor the night before. I used to have a dip station that we had purchased from a gym. I used it for dips and leg raises. It also was handy for holding onto tubing as it would not move because it was too heavy. I wonder if the Fit Tower could be substituted. I hate when they make workouts that require extra purchased like that. I am sure she probably has an alternative move though.

Jolie, great job on the treadmill walk and the benefits while watching football. I would like to gain muscle. Particularly in my legs. Hopefully I can do that as it has always been difficult, but at least when I lift heavy they do not look like skinny toothpick legs. I keep telling myself not to do so much cardio and I might have more success. I do a lot less cardio than I used to though.
 
This morning I needed a quick weight workout. I did LITE PHA. I really liked this. Perfect for today.

Today I did a new one from Heather. 25 min Total Body Tabata. That was fun and challenging. Loved the exercises and it wasn't very high impact so I only had to modify a couple moves. Definitely saving this.

Going for a walk later.

E joy your Sunday!
 
Today I finished the October Fit for Fall challenge on IFit. I don't know if I will try the November challenge - there are other series I want to do and sometimes the challenges are just random workouts from different series. WE'll see when they post on Tuesday.

I am also working on my stupid paper for my stupid Master's class. I keep saying this is dumb but then I keep signing up for classes. But this one is really a lot of work for one credit but it is required. So its research and writing and there is no way around doing the work to write the paper! Yuck. Sorry for whining!!! It would make more sense if I could have used my own topics then I would have just researched something I needed for work!
 
Today is a rest day. I did Raw Athletic Stretch #2 again and added 5 minutes with the foam roller for upper back shoulder area. Total time was 34 minutes.

Doreen, nice work finishing the October Fit Fall Challenge. I agree, it would be so much better if you could choose the topic. That way it would be more engaging than some topic not really interested in. That would figure though.

Cam, great job on the Lite PHA and today's Heather 25# total body tabata.
 
I forgot to check in yesterday with my workout. My hubby and I went for a good walk at the beach, 1 hour 37 minutes, traveled 5 miles on a sand path and burned 738 calories. This morning my calves are sore due to walking in sand, your feet and legs get in a very good workout verses walking on pavement. Today will be a rest day, I really worked out hard last week and need a rest day.

Great job on the workouts yesterday everyone! I hope you all get in a good workout today if it is on the calendar for you.

This morning I did an Ifit full body workout and an upper body workout - each were about 15 minutes long. I was actually surprised because I had written off Ifit for good strength workouts - but these were advanced and worked really well! I saved both to favorites. Most of the time the trainers talk too much or explain too much but this time the trainer just jumped right in and got moving!

Today I started Raw Tabata Sculpt Ladder, but stopped 10 minutes in when we got to snatches. The walk out push up was also something rough for my shoulders and chest right now. So, that was 37 calories, heart rate 102/119. I then did Perfect Pump Lower Body, heart rate 99/123, 34 minutes, 94 calories. I finished off with Kelly, Cardio Fit premix, kickboxing, 21 minutes, heart rate 127/151, 113 calories.
I ended with CDorner neck and back stretch stopping at 19 minutes, 23 calories. Total time was 84 minutes, 267 calories. I forgot to check the steps today. I got a late start and was kind of rushed.
