Good Morning Maniacs,

Tuesday morning was busy but great! I only did the first 25 minutes of Body Max since I had to be at the gym for a 5:30 & 6:30 am client. The gym was closed so I had to improvise. I got my second client on an outdoor circuit on the field and it was so great that I decided to do the same for myself after she and I were through!

2 circuits of each: bleacher runs, side lunges, step ups; run 2x around field; firewalkers (I brought my band)

The I went in the gym and hit quads and abductors again:

5 sets Leg Extension (heavy!!) 8/8/7/7/7
ss w/
firewalkers 20/20/22/24/25 (I need a more resistant band. I'm using the grey and need to switch to black)

4 sets Sissy Squats w/plate on chest: 15/14/14/13 (last set drop set)

Have a great workout!

Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did WSFL cardio. I did 7 intervals of 60/90 on the Rebounder and then for the 20 minute segment, I did Katina Hunter's Step Party 2. A little too hard to follow the first time thru. Didn't have a real "great" workout. I had a hard time and feel fatigued. Workout was 55" and I burned 460 calories.

Have great workouts everyone.
 
Great workouts guys! Today I ran the hills in the hood again. Trying to get my cardio capacity back up. I ran for a total 56 minutes - and the same thing as Saturday, on some of the hills my HR was over 180 so I had to walk a bit. Total calories burned 475.

Have a great day everyone.
 
Got on my treadmill yesterday after work and walked 1.5 miles. Took exactly 30 minutes. Speed set at 3.0, incline of 3%. I was freezing when I got home, it was only a high of 68 yesterday once I got on my treadmill and started walking I was drenched by the time I got done.

This morning I worked Chest and Back. I decided to change the muscle groups I worked these next two weeks. Straight sets today, supersets next week.

1 minute rest between each set

[font color=indigo]CHEST[/font]
Incline Barbell Press:
85# - 12/12/12
[font color=blue]***These felt good. Good weight for the reps I did.[/font]

Flat Dumbbell Flyes:
35's - 12/12/12
[font color=blue]***Shoulders did well with this until the last set, then the right one started clicking.[/font]

Decline Dumbbell Press:
35's - 12/12/10
[font color=blue]***These got harder with each set.[/font]

[font color=indigo]BACK[/font]
Underhand Barbell Row:
65# - 12/12/12
[font color=blue]*** Got good range of motion with these and held the contraction for 2 counts.[/font]

One Arm Rows:
25# - 15/15/15
[font color=blue]***Haven't done these in a long time. Good weight for the reps I did.[/font]

Pullovers:
40# - 12/12/12
[font color=blue]***Got a great burn here.[/font]

[font color=red]Should have done pullups but I just didn't have it in me this morning. Plus my forearms have been sore and painful and I can't help but wonder if that is the reason. I figure skipping one week, maybe two, shouldn't hurt me much.[/font]

That is all...
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Gonna do yesterday's workout today. Yesterday I switched it cuz of my working schedule (I need to stay on track to do cardio on certain days this week cuz I have to be at work earlier now) So this is what I did yesterday:

30 mins...

Traveled 4.2 miles
Speeds 9-11 mph
Burned 276 cals
Level 1

Today leg strength training and not sure about the blast moves inbetween...my neck is still screwy right now. Not sure I will be able to do deadlifts..as I am thinking that might affect my traps too much.

Great workouts everyone!!
 
Morning maniacs!

Boy are my bis sore!! ME does it every time if I haven't done it in a while. I have DOMS elsewhere also, but def in my arms. I have to hit the grocery store then I have a meeting with my lawyer later, then work all night. Gonna try to fit in my TM time inbetween, but that means I need to get my arse in gear!

I will bbl.

Morning Maniacs,

Not too happy with the breakdown. I need to find something else for M5. I'm REALLY sick of CC.
 
I did get my TM time in, be it was only 25 min. I did a very fast walk, with an incline pyramid. By the time I was half way thru, and at the highest incline, I had sweat dripping into my eyes. It was awesome!! But, alas, I have to leave. Got a meeting and then working till midnight.
There were some sweet WO's today maniacs! Have a great evening!!

Hello Everyone, Nice workouts.

I had a pretty good workout myself. I did GS Legs (standing) and I walked 1 hour and 45 minutes. I'm over my sis house so don't remember what weight I used but it was my norm, 6 sets of squats, 4 sets of static and front lunges, 2 sets of back lunges, 3 sets of pile and leg presses, 2 sets of deadlifts and worked calves, and out the door I went for a nice long walk:) :)

Tomorrow, I'm doing S&H chest back bi's and tri's and either CC8 or another long walk. Have a wonderful evening.
