Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Saturday April 14

Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did a little bit of Tracey's Kickbox Sweatfest & Hi/Lo Sweatfest for a total of 45 minutes and burned 290 calories. I also did Slim Series Cool it Off Express 30". I liked Cool it Off X....felt good. My body is beat....but no rest until next Saturday when we leave for Vegas!!

I got Slim Series Express last week but they won't actually be released from Beachbody until the end of the month. A bunch of us at VF ordered from a link someone posted. They were in computer school and somehow got in Beachbody's backdoor to the website and found them. When BB caught on, they stopped it. It's only a set of 4 DVDs and they are a half hour each. Made to compliment the Slim Series original series.

I liked the Kickbox except I can see where some have said it's rather repetitive. You don't need to think a lot. Didn't really do enough to comment further, but I didn't think the double timed moves were too quick like others stated.

The Hi/Lo was a bit hard to follow. No breakdown and I'll need to do it a few times to learn it, but it was fun. I could probably make it more intense after I learn it also. They have someone do the low version and the high version.

Diane Sue - I know JillyBean is in Sculptfest but which exerciser is she? The girl with the dark blonde hair to the left (when looking at TV)?

Have great workouts or rest days. I have an early dental appointment and then it's the usual Saturday routine. We're going to see Slow Burn with Ray Liota. Looks good. I'm expecting a BPAL package, but not sure if it's my Milk Moon/Monster Baits order or something else. We shall see.

I'll be back later.
 
Morning ladies, ,,,,
I finally tried ccoach. I did #2.It wasn't bad. The workout went really fast, compared to just getting on thing and going... 43 min in no time. I sprinted the hills and did i think 3.2 miles and 450 cal. I will do another this week...

Can you believe we are supposed to have a snow storm on Sun??

I miss Char baby... Hope the move is going well ....Excited for you...

Marietta, think we otta coax Deb to do a competition.?????

Everone else, good morning and have a great workout today...

Where has miss amber been???
 
Lora, Jillybean is the blonde on the left of the screen. You can see pictures of her on Jillybean's fitness diary at Tracey's forums.

Anne, Puddle is still the same. I keep hoping one morning I will just walk in and she will be up and moving around like normal.

Today's workout will be cardio, yoga and some abs. Tomorrow is a rest day.

Workout was just under an hour. Now thats more like it! My HR was up the whole time and I actually broke a sweat.

Lora - great workout. Let us know how that movie is. Have fun!

Anne - No competition for me. :) Great going with CC #2. I like that one and it does go by fast. Love those workout!

Diane Sue - Praying for Puddles, that is so sad. :(

I miss Char too!

Going to lunch with my mom and then some shopping. Hope you all have great workouts!
 
Good Morning
Today is Cardio not sure which one I want to do. My legs are so sore from PLB last night.
Diane Sue I'm so sorry to hear about Puddles that just breaks my heart! I will be praying for Puddles and you.
Lora great workout as always!
Off to work
Randi
 
Hey Maniacs! Not sure what workout I'm doing today. If it warms up it'll for sure be a Mt. Bike ride. It's been cool and windy the last few days. DH made me some French Toast this morning. Egads! The only healthy thing involved was the Adams peanut butter. Sure was good though.:9

Lora- So, you have all of the new SSex (love that abbreviation!)?
Keep us posted on those, because I might want them. Love Debbie Seibers!

Anne- The losing weight thing is not going well at all. I don't know what's wrong with me. My eating is horrible lately. Not like me at all this time of year. I only need to lose 6 lbs, but that much extra weight on me is so noticable and I feel like a walrus!! I've got to pull myself together! How you doing? Lost any yet? My taxes weren't as bad as I thought...only $800!! Yahhhwhoooo!

Debbie- Great workout! I know you are loving the shorter rests.:)

Diane Sue- Jillybean looks pretty good in the clips. Can anyone view the fitness diary's on Traceys forum?

Randi- Nice you are all sore in the legs! Only we can understand your joy!

Char- We need you! You are like the backbone here! LOL!

Suz- How is the 10 in 10 going?

Hi- Jen and Marietta and Meg and all you others out there.

Gotta run...Fat in accumulating on me as I sit, I can feel it!

Made it out of my dental appointment without any negative news. Always a good thing!!

Diane Sue - When are you expected to find out Puddle's prognosis? The vet hasn't given you any definitive answers yet, right? He's thinking some type of arthritis? Is Lyme's ruled out yet? I bet you're beside yourself. I hate when our little ones are sick. They are just helpless little animals. (My guess was right about JillyBean).

Dallys- I will keep you posted on SSex....however, I'm not sure when I'll be doing them....as I really think you'd need to do a rotation to use them since they are so short. However, I have debated doing all of them as one long workout. There is Cardio Sculpt, Cardio Core and 6 minutes Abs and then Cool It Off and that's it. I wish she would have done a larger series. Not enough Debbie for me!! You're lucky you live in a nice biking area. I bet it's pretty scenery. (by the way, you and I must be having the same problem in the food area - I've not been having a very healthy relationship with eating lately. I'm not usually this bad either -- must be the time of year or something. I only need to lose about 7 pounds. Those last pounds must be the hardest to come off or something!

Deb - great workout - as usual. Did you see GH?? Did you like it. I will be sure to let you know about the movie, although ever since Goodfella's Ray Liotta is the coolest and I usually like the movie's he's in! Do you remember him in Goodfella's? Great movie. Classic!!

Meg - are you liking the Name on a Bullet song off of Nickelback's latest CD? I love that song. It rocks. Hope things are okay with you!

Yes, I miss Toasty also. The place just isn't the same without her!

The DH bought Brooklyn a little interactive toy from Walmart today. It's a little birdie that chirps when you bat at it. My cat's are freakin' out over it. It's funny. I guess she's officially "spoiled" now that he actually came home with a special toy for her. :) Wish I could post a picture for everyone.

Hi to everyone else!
 
Dallys - I get that way too, sometimes. I hang onto those freakin' last 5# like my body just can't live without it. WTF? I'm there right now but I'm not really trying to lose it yet. I will be in about two weeks, though.

Lora - I seen Thursday's GH, not Friday's yet. Thursday's was good, can't wait to see Friday's. I love shoot-outs. I loved how Lulu slapped Maxie. She so deserved it!
 
Deb - I didn't think you'd be back from shopping already. The movie was pretty good. We both really liked it, but we also both agree that it probably won't be popular or do well (which is the case with a lot of better movies we see). It had lots and lots of twists and turns. Ray Liotta did an excellent job and it was a good story. Deception, lies, sex, politics, etc.
 
Evening ladies... I did cc#3. It was ok, i liked 2 better. I am working my way up. The 10 second sprints shouls have been 30sec.
It is cold ugly and miserable here. I am so ready for summer...

Awful quiet here today. Where is everyone.

Well, it is Sat night and most people have lives and do things on Sat nights.After last week, i am done...going out.that is. Well, gonna go play with grandson..
Have a great night.
 
Hey Crazies! Got my Mt. Bike ride in. Went for 1 hr. 45 min. Burned 680 cals (yet the fat hangs on. LOL!) Carma is getting in much better shape. Although it was not hot and that make a huge difference with her. I did much better and had tons more confidence with my feet clipped in. Stayed clipped in the whole time.:) Our once private little trail was smothered with all sorts of people! Was not happy about that. Can't wait until it gets alittle warmer and then we can go up higher in the mountains where the traffic will be minimal.

Have a fun night maniacs...but not to much fun. (Anne!)
Party at my house if you want to come over...Grilled lettuce leaves for all...that sounds fun, eh?

Lora - Sounds pretty good, I'll probably get it when it comes out on DVD.

Anne - I don't go out either, I'm a couch potato in the evenings. I like it that way!

Dallys - Great going with your Mt. bike ride!! Great calorie burn!!! I'll be over in about an hour! :)
 
Today I did Cardio Fusion Premix mix and match no stretch then I did Body Max 2 abs twice and the stretch, I followed this with Yoga Shatki Basic Flow. My dd Candy came over this afternoon and had dinner with us, then this evening my dd Crystal came over with her family. I have been messing with the hot tub again which maybe I am at the point that I do not want to talk about it:(

Dallys, you can look at Jillybean's workouts on the forum.

Lora, I have not heard the results of Puddles tests. No definitive answer. I wish there was and the vet is not sure either. The good thing is she is walking around more this evening. I am so hopeful that all of this will make her better.
