Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Tuesday May 13

Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did Katina Hunter's Interval Party high/low cardio. I haven't done this for a long time and it had quite a bit of impact in it. I will have to do lower impact the rest of the week, as I don't want to end up with another stress fracture. This ended up being a fun workout and didn't require much thinking. However, I still have to work really hard to get my HR up. Workout was 56" and I burned 517 calories.

RE: the plastic bottles - I drink out of a bottle of store bought water daily and refill it during the day...but throw it out each day....so hopefully I'm okay.

Have great workouts everyone.
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Lora,

Great workout! Nice calorie burn!!!!!

Today I am going on elliptical. My left knee has been bothering me more...makes clicking sounds too. Not painful at all though..alittle more achy. Anyhoo, will report back later with my stats.

Yesterday I worked back and biceps. Just busy with dh and couldn't get on computer much. So here is what I did yesterday:

BICEPS:

Hammer Curls with 40's 3 sets/8

Preacher Curls with 60# 3/8

BACK:

Have a great day everyone! I hope I am not too sore tomorrow.
 
Today I decided to do an iTread workout. I downloaded three new ones about a month ago and have only done one of them. So today I chose Set 23 which was 40 minutes. These workouts are tough. Constant running with only a few short breaks here and there. They kill me. This one had some endurance runs, sprints and hills. It was a fun workout.

[font color=indigo]Cardio stats:[/font]
[font color=blue]44 minutes
35 minutes in zone
292 calories burned
2.78 miles travelled[/font]

Then I did the ab work from 4DS Kickbox workout. That one is a good one but I don't care for the oblique work. For some reason it really hurts my neck.

Lora - Nice workout. Excellent calories burn! I have your Avon, it's coming in tomorrow so I'll get it in the mail to you ASAP.

Char - You blow me away with your barbell curls. I can't believe you curl 85#. Awesome girl! You're an animal!
 
Good morning:)

I ate myself sick yesterday, my tummy was hurting and I looked like I was 4 months pregnant, sick I know. Strange, when I eat any foods out of.....what I call my norm, the food always get caught in the top part of my stomach. I ordered a small pizza on my home WTH was that all about? Any who, I am back on track, that’s all that matter.

This morning, I felt the need to burn a few calories so I did abs and Imax 2 had so much energy I’m sure my neighbors heard me.

Tonight, if the weather is nice I’m going for a nice long walk, nothing under a 1.5 hours. bbl
 
Morning Maniacs,

This morning was cardio. Did 4 DS Bootcamp and SPJ Hi/Lo add on. Needed to be quiet as DH was home from a trip and sleeping in. Also have major DOMS in my lats from the T-bar rows. Not sure what I did different to cause that.
 
I finished my workout. I had fun playing around with my new HR monitor. Workout was Amy Bento's Hi/Lo Knockout repeating combo 3/4and ko then on to the abs and stretch. I had to stop the monitor here and pick up grandchildren and take them to school, so came back and started it back up and did Slow and Heavy triceps, biceps, and abs. Calories burned total was 731. Calories burned for Hi/Lo knockout was 469. I did not know where the hr was while doing the cardio so when I came back I figured it out during S&H. I stayed in my middle training zone 2 for 58.4 minutes zone 3 high was only 4:53 minutes. This goes by my HR zones. You can do it with just the chart if you like but the Nike had Jay Blahnik(a fitness instructor) give them the idea to set your own zones with a 15 minute test. He says HR charts are not accurate for everyone. They do not take into account how you and your body are feeling. I redo the test once a month or when the monitor reminds me so if my fitness levels change it will be accurate. Sorry such a long post.

Awesome workouts everyone!!! We are all kicking butt today! :)

Wonderwoman - Welcome!! Glad you stopped in and posted. My answer to your question is yes! I get in a slump every now and again. Actually, I feel like I'm in one right now but I ALWAYS DO MY WORKOUTS no matter what. Unless I am taking my scheduled rest week, I force myself to workout if I have too. Luckily that doesn't happen too often. It's normal, though. Our bodies can only take so much and then you get burned out. Changing your routine or taking a few days off can help that.

With my eating, yes I am there right now. It is so hard for me to eat chicken anymore. I'M SICK OF IT!!! I try to mix it up and make it different each day, but that gets hard. But I keep eating clean. I think of the results and that just makes me want to continue eating like that. I also give myself a cheat meal or two on Saturdays. Most of the time that day turns into a cheat "day".
 
Yes fitness freak I know that feeling all tooo well. My BSN vanilla came in yesterday had some this morning after imax2 words can not even describe how yummy that is OOOOMMMMGGGG can hardly believe its good for me protein pudding is back ordered. Oh Well, good things come to those who wait right? Thanks
 
Welcome Wonderwoman!

I just got done eating my tunafish and can't say I really like it one bit, but pretty much stick with my same eating 6 days a week and then will cheat on one day. I need to go to Trader Joes in Northern Virginia and see what kind of good food I can find to stock up on.
 
Hi Wonderwoman!

Nice to have you in the group. As far as motivation goes, I am similar to Debbie in the fact that I never miss a work out, however, I am nowhere close to her in the strength category (working on it though). For food, I do best during the week when I am in my routine with work and I pack my lunches and snacks for the day. Every evening, I will throw some sort of lean protein source on the grill (chicken, flank steak, top sirloin, lean pork) and make a big salad to go with it. That is usually dinner during the week. On the weekends I like to cook and allow myself my little more leeway, but am also more active, not sitting at the desk all day. So I guess it evens out.

Take care and have a great day!

Wonder Woman welcome. The menu goes out the door once in awhile for me. I tend to be more focused during the busy week but on weekends it is harder. Most of the time I do good though. I know what not to bring in the house LOL Family gatherings generally ruin my resolve. Going out I sometimes do well and others I just go for a cheat meal. Fortunately this does not happen to often. I had one big cheat day mothers day with mashed potatoes, white rolls, and ice cream with brownies :9. I swear I have not eaten mashed potatoes in a couple of years. I just jump right back into my routine again and am fine.
