Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Sunday April 8

Morning Maniacs -

I'm off to do some cardio & yoga. I'll be back in a bit. Didn't want to get out of bed this morning.

Happy Easter.
 
I ended up doing Cardio Coach 3 on the Treadmill & the Bike. I started doing it on the TM & Elipitical, but the Elipitical broke again. Now it seems to be in the computer part. I also did Tae Bo Live Advanced and then Tae Bo Amped Super Charged Fat Burner (just part of both). Total of 70" of cardio & burned 500 calories. I also did Rodney Yee's Power Yoga Total Body.

I really wish Rodney would do more yoga practices where he teaches a class and interacts with the class like he does it Yoga Now. He really has a great personality and I bought more Rodney DVDs cuz I liked him so much in Yoga Now, but it's just not the same when he does voice over and only goes thru the poses. You see a totally different side of him in Yoga Now with Mariel Hemingway.

Have a great Easter everyone and try not to eat too many goodies.

My Mom will have a basket of chocolate (of course) and it's TTOTM, so I probably won't need anyone to twist my arm! I already feel like the good year blimp. I"m so freakin' bloated.

I'll be around for a bit and then the DH & I are taking the nieces to the movies before dinner at Mom's. We're going to see the Lookout.

Have great workouts or rest days.
 
Good Morning, I will do some cardio this morning since I took off Thursday. I am not going to church after all. Puddle was sick to the stomach during the night so carpet cleaning is in order again. I am sure it is the pain medicine. Her leg is so swollen we will probably be going to the vet again tomorrow. The family will be here this afternoon and we are grilling hamburgers. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter Sunday:)

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

This morning I worked Back, Biceps and Forearms. Had an excellent workout. However, this week the exercises consisted of a lot of machine work which I can't do. Its frustrating to figure out what to do instead. I did the best I could.

Back:
Wide Grip Pullups: 4/3/2½ (getting better on these!)
Reverse Grip Dumbbell Rows: 25's - 3 sets/12 reps
T-Back Squeeze: Purple band w/10's - 1 set/10 reps (this really put an uncomfortable stress on my shoulders so I dropped the weight) 8's/Band - 2 sets/12 reps
Pullovers: 35# - 1 set/12 reps; 37's - 2 sets/12 reps

Biceps:
Barbell Preacher Curls: 50# - 2 sets/12 reps; 1 set/10 reps
Concentration Curls: 20# - 3 sets/12 reps (I hate this exercise)
Incline Alternate Dumbbell Curls: 20's - 2 sets/12 reps; 1 set 11 reps

Forearms:
Overhand Wrist Curl: 12's - 3 sets/12 reps
Underhand Wrist Curl: 15's - 1 set/10 reps (these really hurt my wrists for some reason, I don't like doing them so I only did one set)

Workout was 1:35. These 3 minutes rests take forever!!!

Hope you all have a great day!
 
Happy Easter!!
Today is my rest day:) Have to work today 12-6 this sucks! I cant believe we're opened!
Have a great day everyone!

Hey Maniacs! Happy Easter to everyone and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Anne!

Today will be a NROL workout. I'll post later after I do that.
Hope you all have a great day. We had our family party yesterday and I ate way to much! Will have to pay for that in my next few workouts. Oy! Need to really tighten up my eating. Been bad lately.

Diane Sue- Sorry to hear Puddles is still not well. I hope it's not to serious.

Debbie- Great workout! I hate those long workouts. I bet you can't wait to get past this phase.

Lora- I like Rodney too. I only have his "Yoga for Athletes". It's a voice over. I don't really like those either.

Randi-Sucks you have to work today.:(

The most effective workout isn't necessarily the longest or the hardest; it's simply the smartest.

Hi ladies! Happy Easter to all and Happy Birthday to Anne! I am on the fence about working out today...it's the last day of vacation and I feel like being bad every minute now! }( }(

Randi-That stinks you have to work! Hope it's over quickly! I enjoy Deb's rotations, too. My next one will be her Getting Ready for Summer one. (I will sprinkle in a few Jari Love's for good measure-I really like her weight work-not better than Cathe but just for a change.)

Deb-Great workout! Who needs machines?!? :)

Dallys-Whatever you have eaten this week....surely I have matched it.....and washed it down with the most high-calorie coffee I could find! :) I will be back on track this week! :)

Diane Sue-So sorry to hear about Puddle's leg swelling...thinking about you and hope the vet can do something. Hope you had a nice time with your family. Who wears the grilling pants in the family-you or Bill? :) My DH absolutely wears the grilling pants BUT I have to stay over his shoulder when he breaks out the seasoning (uses too much) AND let him know when to take something off the grill (tendency to overcook things). (Um, OK, maybe I wear the grilling pants after all.) ;)

Lora-Did Brooklyn get a stuffed bunny for Easter? I do wish Rodney's personality would come out more on his DVDs. He interviews well, too-his print interviews are always insightful.

Hi to Anne, Meg, Marietta, Suz (check your pm) and anyone I may have unintentionally missed! Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Anne!!! :) My birthday was on Easter last year. Its weird, isn't it?

Dallys - Yes, it'll be nice not to have such long workouts. Next week will go fast with only 1 minute rest periods.

Randi - What do you do? What is open today? There is not a store opened in this area. Sucks that you had to work.
 
Hi ladies! Back again...actually ended up on the right side of the fence today and did LEGS at that! Tonight's WO was S & H Legs followed by Muscle Max Lower Body Premix. It was DH's birthday, and for all you science fiction folks, we spent the weekend watching the entire boxed set of the Star Trek series-the all the episodes featuring the Borg. The set is 6 DVDs and consisted of some Next Generation episodes and some Voyager episodes. I had never seen any of the Voyager episodes and they were really good. Even if you are not interested in this at all (I can't imagine why :) ) if you know someone that is a Star Trek fan, it would make a great gift.

Have a great night!

Jen, I wear most of the cooking pants grilling or other in our house:) DH can cook though. One year I had to have surgury and he cooked the entire Thanksgiving dinner Turkey and potatoes and everything. I am taking Puddle tot he vet first thing when they open. We put her in our room with her bed because she really did want to run around and greet everyone.

Anne, how was your birthday?

Lora, my dd bought me a large gold egg with hazelnut chocolates. I ate quite a few. Boy this is sheer torture for me. I need to hide them somewhere.
