Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for September 2022!!

Today I did Coffey Fit Raw Arms (new workout). I liked it as it was slower paced and no long rests. Oh, and not terribly long, but arms were worked well. This was 25 minutes as I did stop to write a little bit. More like 22 minutes actual workout. heartrate was 94/119 and I burned 67 calories. I then did CDorner 30-minute step class from 2 weeks ago, 33 minutes, 172 calories, heart rate 128/156, 3,679 steps. I wanted to do some abs but had lawn people coming out to do work. Total time was 58 minutes, 239 calories, 3,679 steps.

Roselyn, nice work with the youtube hiit workout.

Raw Arms 21:59 minutes
Biceps and Triceps of 4 exercises 10 reps each done in 4 rounds and then a finisher round at the end

Hi,

Walk and CL Stacked UB is done.

Debbie - I been looking at Marketplace, they want a lot of $$$$ almost as much as we payed for your house. I think the price went up since covid. It's insane. Great job on your workout.

Diane - we traveled all over the US with our dogs. RV parks do have laundromat. I just don't like using them. That is why I want a washer/dryer. I hated sitting there and waiting for my laundry to get done or others would take it out. I don't like people touching my clothes.

Nice job ladies on your workouts.

I am done for today.

Almost forgot to check in. I did KCM Splits Upper Body this morning. I haven't done that dvd in years. I remember that I always did the Total Body Premix, but I think I like it better as is. I substituted a couple cardio drills for some standing ab stuff she does, that seems ineffective to me. I am really sore from Leg Day yesterday. That was my first lower body workout in a couple weeks. Ouch.

Now we are taking the dog on a long walk. My daughter, the dog walker, is out if town this weekend. It's supposed to rain the next 2 days straight, so gotta get a good one in. We are supposed to get almost 3 inches of rain. Ugh.

Good workouts Ladies! Packer opener tomorrow. Football season is upon us.

I did 2 miles on the TM and then 15 minutes on the bike this morning. I was dragging as I didn't sleep well at all!

I did not check in on Friday because we lost our internet connection due to the high winds. Friday's workout was 45 minute uphill walk on the TM and some leg exercises, then I stopped, it was too hot and humid to do anything else. Workout was 1 hour and I burned 423 calories.
Leg Ext.-
40# x 20, x 18, x 16, x 14, x 12, x 12
Leg Curls-
20# x 18, x 16, x 14, x 12

Saturday was a rest day. Today I did cardio, I was supposed to do Back and Biceps but I did not feel like lifting today so I did two Les Mills Combat workouts. I started with Combat #85, 30 minutes and the Combat #84, 30 minutes and I used my 1# gloves for then entire workout. I did a good stretch at the end and I was surprised that this did not irritate my shoulder, so that makes me happy. The workout was 1 hour 8 minutes and I burned 588 calories. I love this Les Mills On Demand that I purchased for the year, I am sick of walking so this is a great way to burn calories and chisel my muscles which I need after a summer of splurging. I bet I will be half dead tomorrow!

Great job on the workouts the past two days, we are all doing so well keeping up with our workouts! We are supposed to get cooler weather starting today, 20 degrees cooler than it has been the last 3 weeks. I cannot wait for winter this year, worst summer weather I can remember my entire life in California. Make it a great day.

Hi,

Walk this morning and CDoner Fitness 30 Minute Stretch and Mobility Routine With a Chair. The stretch was pretty good. Chris lost me when she was talking about a hat :)

Great job everyone.

Today I did Michelle Dozois Body Fit 360 Athletic Conditioning. This one can be deceiving. It sure winds me every time. I have always liked this one the most out of all her dvds. I find it easy to make lower impact, but it still gets me. I did the Athletic Stretch afterwards.

A rainy gross day. I think I can sneak in a quick dog walk though. Its pretty windy too. Should be a fun time.

Good workouts!

Jolie, glad it is starting to cool down.

Belinda, her stories during stretches can be so annoying.

I re-discovered a YT channel I haven't done it a long time, Fit Body by Julia. I used to do some of her workouts but they became too long (and hard!) and I forgot about her. Anyone, one popped up that was only appr 35minutes and the title caught my eye. She's been doing a series titled Best of Peleton Bootcamp where she takes the strength sections out of various Peleton bootcamp workouts and records them as strength only. She has a Peleton top on in the first one so I don't know if she's a Peleton instructor or not but the first one was a fun metabolic workout. I've saved the rest in the series to try later.

I had an excellent workout this morning, I did two RAW workouts and they were both very fun.

The first was RAW Box & Pump 7, so glad I tried this one. Diane said it had compound moves in it and that usually isn't something I like to do, but this one was fun. The boxing combos were fun. This is how it went:

1 minute each drill

Boxing: 2# hand weights
Dumbbells Snatches: 12#
Reverse Lunges: 10's

Boxing: 2# hand weights
From Hip Cleans: 15's
Side to Side Squats: 15#

Boxing: 2# hand weights
Side Lunges/Lawn Mower: 12's
Alternate Hammer Curl/Overhead Press: 12's

Boxing: 2# hand weights
Squat/Hammer Curl/Twist to Knee: 10's
Scales: BW

Workout was 27 minutes, burned 195 calories, HR was 124/163.

Then I did RAW Arms and it was suppose to be four exercises in a row, then repeat for a total of 4 sets with 10 reps each. But Kelly was all over the place with this one. So this is how it went:

Dumbbell Curls: 12's - 10 reps
Overhead Triceps Extension: 10's - 10 reps
Hammer Curls: 15's - 10 reps
Overhead Triceps Extension: 10's - 10 reps
Hammer Curls: 15's - 10 reps
Kickbacks: 8's - 10 reps
Kickbacks: 8's - 10 reps
Dumbbell Curls: 12's - 10 reps
Overhead Triceps Extension: 10's - 10 reps
Hammer Curls: 15's - 10 reps
Kickbacks: 8's - 10 reps
Dumbbell Curls: 12's - 10 reps
Overhead Triceps Extension: 10's - 10 reps
Hammer Curls: 15's - 10 reps
Kickbacks: 8's - 10 reps

Fiisher: Supinated Curls/Tricpes Push Down/Curl Up/Down - repeat this several times. I used 8's

Workout was 23 minutes, burned 176 calories and HR was 123/152.
Weird how she did that in the beginning, I'm not sure why she lost track so early in the workout - there were only 4 exercises. She used 20's where I used 15's and 12's, I couldn't believe it. I probably could have gone heavier at times, but just stuck with the weights I listed above.

Diane - Thanks for the recommendation of Kenra hair products, I will check them out! Great job with your workouts. Wasn't it weird how Kelly did the Arms workout? I hope the others aren't like that! LOL!

Great job with your workouts everyone! I am at work and have to get going. Hope you all have a great day!
 
I did a 30 minute bike on Ifit - climbing to the top of a volcano in Costa Rica. 30 seconds standing climb, 30 seconds seated climb.

Jolie - I think you have a rowing machine? What brand? Do you like it and would you recommend? Do you do any workout videos on it?

I am tired from my kickboxing yesterday; I am so happy that it did not irritate my shoulder.

Debbie, great job on the two workouts this morning. The arm workout looks really good!
I am really enjoying STS again, I think I just like traditional weightlifting workouts right now so this is a great series and I already own it. I do love my Les Mills subscription for the kickboxing workouts, there are hundreds of workouts to choose from :) I get my Kenra products at TJ Maxx for a really good price.

Cam, great job on the workout and dog walk yesterday! I always like Michelle's workouts, she is very motivating, and she has loads of energy.

Doreen, great job on the ride today. Yes, I have a rowing machine and use it all of the time. I do not do long workouts, I love to do it in-between sets or use it on Back day. It is a total body workout, and it really works your legs too! I got the Sunny Fitness one of Amazon, I spent more for a higher version because my family are quite big, and it had to be able to support larger people. My dad is 89 years old and uses his all of the time. There are rowing workouts you can find on youtube and apps if you want to do long workouts. It will kick your butt!!!:)

I hope you all have good workouts today.

Today I did Tracy Steen Total Body Strength by Muscle Group. Loved it! Each muscle group consisted of 4 moves/45 sec. There were also 2 cardio sets in there, which made it tougher. She hit it all. Also took my dog on a 3 mile walk. She had a lot of energy after a rainy day yesterday. There was lots of flooding. We got 6 inches of rain yesterday and overnight. My last day of vacation, so gotta make it a good one! Yay, the sun is coming out!

Good workouts Ladies!

Today I started with CDorner Total Body that she did today and got through 9 minutes and the moves we would be doing with a barbell or dumbbells. First move was squat press with a barbell, I had loaded with 10# plates at the start as she said about 12# plates she would use. Got through several and then just did squat, then she mentions next move was lunge with overhead and quit there. This was 28 calories and 9 minutes, 95/113 heart rate. I then did Raw Shoulder and Neck Limitations, 36 minutes, 112 calories, heart rate 99/120. I finished with most of CDorner Basic Step from today, stopped at second break and forwarded to BPM bonus and the stretch, 37 minutes, heart rate 125/146,. TOTAL 82 minutes, 318 calories, 4,091 steps.

Doreen, that sounds like a good discovery. A change is always nice with workouts.

Debbie, great workout. Yes, it was odd how Kelly did that workout. It comes out okay, but as I was writing it down I got confused as to what we were doing. I kept wondering about the other set of squats as I swear I do not remember doing them. Then the triceps and a break then start with triceps to make up for forgetting the triceps. I still liked the workout though. 20's would have been too much for me. I tried the few 17.5 and decided to stick with the 15's as much as I could. I love Kenra products.

Jolie, nice work on STS Back and Biceps even though you had interruptions. That is my problem as I often start the workouts late morning and that is when I get calls and people coming to the door.

Belinda, nice job on the walk and Fuel day 1.

Cam, I looked at that workout this morning, but decided I have not done many of hers yet and went for something I knew. Enjoy your last day off.

This morning I started off with RAW Back. This was an ok workout, I realized that I don't like working my back all that much. It's boring and I never feel like I'm doing anything other than causing myself pain two days after the workout. LOL. Anyways, this is what I did:

4 sets/10 reps
Seated Rows: 15's
Pullovers: 15# (did this carefully and did not go way back)
One Arm Rows: 25#
Repeat 3 more times

Finisher:
Run Rows: 10's
Scap Squeeze: 10's

Workout was 23 minutes, burned 155 calories, HR was 113/143.

Then I did RAW Cardio Finisher which was pretty fun and quick. She does snatches in the beginning and I used 12# for that (she used 20#), I don't think I could get 20# over my head for very long. Then she does 30 second drills and repeats them 3 times and then does a boxing finisher. It was pretty fun.

Workout was 14 minutes, burned 115 calories, did 1342 steps and HR was 128/158.

I also had time to do some stretching. Love getting up 10 minutes earlier, I feel like I have a lot of time to workout now. Weird.

Jolie - Great workout yesterday!! Love the double waves ones, they are so fun and really get in the muscles. I also like traditional weight lifting, the ones I'm doing now from Kelly are just that. Slow and heavy although I'm not going very heavy. I might look into the Les Mill subscription, how much is it?

Diane - That is why I kept track of what she did, I read your post first and knew she would mess up. It did work out ok, my arms are sore today so that is good. I should try the RAW Shoulder and Neck Limitations, I've never done that one. Looks like a good one.

Have a great day everyone!!
