Morning Maniacs -

I managed to get up at 3:20 am. I'm getting a little better. Was planning on doing CC on the Elipitical, but don't feel like doing it...so I'm going to go maybe do some kickboxing. Not sure what else. Can't be that long working out, as I have lots to do today. Be back later.
 
Good Morning, today I am going to do Slim in 6 Shape it up and some stretching. Unless I change my mind and do Turbo Jam 3 T and Lower body jam. I really can't remember what all is on Shape it up. It is an 1hr and 18 min.. It has been a long time since I have done it. I also have Tracey's Kickbox Challenge which has strength work and I like but forgot I need a stability ball. I could probably modify. BBL.

Good Morning Maniacs!!!!


Doing cardio today. Help me decide...

18 mile bike ride


O.k..girly girls...anyone have trouble putting on earrings with nails???? Finding it impossible and typing is improving some now that they are shorter...very pretty though..gonna keep up with them and be girly now. lol
 
I ended up doing Kimberly Spreen's Absolute Kickboxing. I alternated cardio and combat segments. Only used my 5# bar, as it's TTOTM and my back and sciatica seem to be flaring. Workout was 75" and I burned 460 calories. I also did Ravi & Ana's Bye Bye Back Pain off of Dr. Yoga House Call. Will have to try and do the Sciatica segment later...need it.

Have great workouts everyone. I'm eating breakfast and then I have to go grocery shopping. We have a meeting with our Realtor at 1:00 pm also. I never did get my Puddle of Mudd/Saliva tickets like I was supposed to. I've got to call them later to see where they are.

Toasty - good luck with the nails. I had nails that lasted 1 day. I couldn't do ANYTHING with them including putting my earrings or zipping my jeans! I like shorter dark nails, so my natural ones are fine for the crazy colours I wear. Got an imp of Midnight Kiss with my BPAL order yesterday. It's gonna be an all time fave of mine. I love it. It's sweet and sexy.
 
Lora,

Your teasing me with the perfumes. I feel like I need to order it and the Vampire Tears. I just bought a bigger box for my perfumes cuz I had too. lol...so I do have more room now. hehe
 
Toasty - I vote for the bike ride........enjoy the weather while you can!! You have to have Midnight Kiss......don't you like amber, red musk and sweetness. I typed a review last night.....sweet and sexy just like me. Like Mme Moriarty's little sister but where Mme Moriarty goes in the direction of patchouli leaf/peppery scent.....MK goes off into a Moriarty/Smut and Bordello spin........it's truly something that has to be experienced and I'm sure if you dont' like it, you can sell it. It's shooting up to my top 10 BPAL. I love sweet and red musk scents so I knew I couldn't go wrong. How do you like your Coffin? I didn't like my Crypt Queen fragrance. I already imped it all out. I have the Coffin out on the desk with my imps in it.....and I'm waiting for the DH to notice it and have a hissy fit. He hates the goth theme!
 
Today was Biceps and Triceps. My wrist still hurts a bit and I had to be really careful with the exercises. I kept the weights light and upped the reps. I did supersets again.

[font color=indigo]Biceps/Triceps[/font]
1:30 min. rest between each superset
EZ Barbell Curls:
45# - 12/12/12
superset w/
Close Grip Barbell Press:

[font color=blue]***EZ curls hurt the wrist a bit. I had to hold onto to the bar at a certain area to make the pain stop.[/font]

Hammer Curls:
20's - 12/12/12
superset w/
Skull Crushers:
45# - 15/15/15
[font color=blue]***Was suppose to do Zottman curls but the twist in the exercise really hurt. So HC worked well. Skull Crushers felt awesome, should have went heavier.[/font]

Concentration Curls:
20# - 12/12/12
superset w/
Weighted Bench Dips:
45# - 12/12/12
[font color=blue]***I was worried about the Concentration curls, they usually irritate my wrist but they didn't.[/font]

[font color=indigo]Abs[/font]
Cardio & Weights Ab work

Overall I had a great workout and I'm feeling more like myself again. My head is clear and my headache is gone. So I'm happy about that. Stress sucks!!!

I'll be back to read all your posts. I'm running late!
 
I say bike ride Char. Lora is right, before you know it it's ice storms and below zero. I did Circuit Max this a.m. and sweated buckets. Heart rate shot up in warm up, which tells me I am a bit run down. Lack of sleep earlier in week due to business travel so still feeling it. Have to do a day trip to Boston tomorrow, out of the house by 5:30 a.m. so no workout - unless Lora gives me a wake up call at 3am to work out!! Boy I wish I needed less sleep like you!!

Feeling burnt out, need a change in workouts. Going to hit the gym this weekend and push some heavy weights - real slow, low reps. Or maybe a vigouous 1 1/2 hour yoga class (taught by this 60 year old woman who might be the fittest gal over 50 I have ever met - we're talking one armed hand stands folks). Then a few hot tub sessions!

Debbie hope you're healing well.

Debbie,

I did skull crushers last week with 35# bar and thought that was good. WOW...so much strength you have in them triceps!!!! I want more strength in mine. I know if I can pull it off it might make my arms bigger, and you know....I would like that!!!:p ;)
 
[font color =purple size=2]Morning Maniacs! I want to workout this morning, BUT, if I don't get this house clean they will come and condemn it! So, this morning will be CleanXtotheMax. I will for sure go on a bike ride later today after work... Supposed to storm this weekend so I've got to get them in.
Does anyone else like that new Kid Rock song "Hott"? I love it, but it's not one you can just sing around the house. Dh would look at me like "who are you?" Hmmm, maybe I'll test it just to see his reaction. LOL![/font]

Lora- Nice workout!

Char- Bike ride for sure! Get em in while the weather is still good!

Julie-Lisa- Nice to see you posting again! STAY!

Diane Sue- Shape it up is the one with those killer Knee extensions on the floor with the ankle weights. Lots of good floor work in that one.

Debbie- Glad your wrist is feeling somewhat better. Great workout!

Gotta go clean toilets and all that fun stuff.

Morning,

Char-sounds like the bike ride got the most votes:p

I'm doing cardio today also.....raining cats & dogs here so I'll be doing a dvd for sure. Abs & yoga to finish up.

Have great workouts
 
Dallys -I love that song, but the DH says it's disgusting. I think his inspiration for that song was Buckcherry's Crazy Bi#@ch cuz I heard Kid Rock was doing BC's Crazy B song live for a while and then after his tour ended.....he goes back and the studio and gee.......look what he comes up with!! I like it though....even if you can't sing it around the kiddies! OF course, those are always the ones I like! LOL.
 
Good Morning
Last night was Imax then PLB night before that. MY legs are so sore! Tonight will be SJ&Px( Have a lovely day everyone
Off to work
Randi
 
I finished my workout. I did Slim in 6 shape it up doubling the weights on some of it. On the ankle weight work I used my 1 pound jolie shoe weights and silver tubing to increase the difficulty. Put my foot in the handle and held onto the tube. Then I did Turbo Jam 3 T. I followed this with Keli's foam roller flexibility workout. I checked my laptop of my itrain downloads. Apparently the ones I put on my mp3 player won't play on the laptop. It will play iteen boxing #1 because I never put it on the mp3 player:( I was hoping to do the stretch and yoga one I had on here.

Charlotte, I vote for the bike ride outside. Take advantage of it while you can.

Dallys, Shape it up does have some good floor work in it. I managed to get a good burn with the tubing and weights. I also held an 8# dumbbell on my thigh for the abbductor & adductor exercises.

Debbie, I am glad to hear that you are doing better.

Well went out the door. BLECH...too sticky for ride. Did my Imax 2 already. Hoorah...now I will clean some. I can't mow cuz dh and neighbor moved the drill press right by the push mower. (there is alot of stuff in my garage from fil's that we are selling..auctioning it off in October).
 
Good Morning!

Holy moly - you gals are busy bees this morning. I can't believe all the posts! This morning rode on my bike in the basement. Wish I could ride outside. Too dark in the am now. :( I didn't hear my alarm b/c Gizmo knocked it on the floor and turned the volume off. Luckily Amber jumped off the bed at 5:30 and woke me up! So I only got in a 50 minute ride. I'm becoming quite the slacker lately. Tonight I'm knitting with my girlfriends at Barnes & Noble or I would have done weights (do you really believe that?).

It's supposed to snow this weekend. YIKES! So soon. We leave to go see my dad in Washington a week from today. Our bird sitter came over last night. They were giving her the evil eye. :p I think they plan to be naughty for her.

Lora - I read your post last night. I think a lot of us struggle with body image. I do all the time. I can't tell you how many times I've eaten something bad for me and then come really close to throwing it up. But I doubt I could ever actually do it. I know how bad that is for you. And gross. I think you need to be really careful with your history. It's good that you work out and that you check in with these wonderful women here. They are so healthy and smart. And they are all about balance. I love that!

Char - Cute avatar. :)

I better get back to work. I have a lot to do.

Hey Maniacs! Taking a short break from work here.:p I don't want to be working! I want to go play outside, it's real nice out there, but you can tell somethings coming. Rain tomorrow and on Saterday, maybe snow! Only had enough time to clean bathrooms this morning so I'll have to continue the cleaning drudgery later today.

Char-Great going on Imax 2. I haven't done that in ages. Must be humid where you are. We just have that dry heat. LOL!


Suz- Your birds wouldn't torture the bird sitter!}( I think I might be kinda scared of Parrots. My cockatiel is moody enough!

Dang! Gotta go finish up work.
