Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Wed March 28

Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did Barry's Bootcamp Chest & Abs and non-treadmill cardio. I also did a little bit of Step Euphoria with Kim Miller (one of my new CIA's). Workout was 1 hour 25 minutes and I burned 470 calories. I also did Ravi & Ana's Yoga Beauty Body (45").

This CIA step workout was one I previewed yesterday and it looked like the coreography would be a bit hard for me to get so I tried it. It is going to take some work to learn. It also has a hi/lo workout on it that looks okay. The music in the new Gay Gasper CIA is excellent. I really like it. It reminds me of old Tae Bo Live music.

Well, I guess the kitty's name is Brooklyn. She looks more like a Brooklyn that any of the other names we were debating. She was watching me do step aerobics this morning. It was funny. I don't think she knows what to make of exercise.

Diane Sue - I was thinking I should cut down on my cardio for a while so my body doesn't get too used to it and expect it every day or else I'll start gaining weight. I've been doing it for 2 months now, so if I change it up now, I should be okay, right? Also, do you think if I cut back for a couple weeks, that would be long enough to change things up? thanks in advance.

Have great workouts. I'll be around for a bit and then I have to take Brooklyn to the vet to get checked out per the store that sold her to us. I guess it makes her warranty valid. Yes, that's right.....a cat that comes with a 3 year warranty! LOL.
 
Morning ladie. It is officail. Got 1st cold since Christmas... Sore throat too.

Congrats Diane Sue on your Anniversary...

Deb, you are an Aries... Me April 8th. No cookin on Easter this year for me. Going out...

This morning I worked my shoulders and abs and then did some cardio. This is what I did:

Shoulders:
Barbell Shoulder Press: 50# - 1 set/10 reps then did 3 negative reps; 1 set/10 reps and 2 negative reps

Wide-grip Upright Rows: 50# - 2 sets/10 reps w/ 3 negative reps w/each set

Lateral Raise: 17's for 10 reps, then dropped to 12's for another 12 reps

Bent Over Lateral Raise: 17's for 10 reps, then dropped to 12's for another 10 reps (these burned)

Dumbbell Shrugs: 35's - 2 sets/10 reps then dropped to 25's for another 12 reps

Abs:
Muscle Max Abs

Then I did Cardio Coach #2, skipped the warmup because I didn't have much time. These workouts are getting easy for me. Wore my HRM for only the CC workout which was 33 minutes, was in my zone for 28 minutes and burned 193 calories.

Lora, great workout!

Anne - Yes, I'm an aries, borderline. I'm bullheaded on some things. Yea, where is Meg and Marietta for that matter? I seen her on the open forums, how come she doesn't post here anymore? :(

Hope you all have great workouts!
 
I'm pretty sure Meg's having some personal problems.

Deb - Great shoulder workout. That's pretty darned good if CC is getting easy for you!
 
Good morning, today workout is step and abs. I may do a stretch tape or yoga. I have a lot going on. In a little while I am taking Mudd to the vet to be spayed. I will get her back tomorrow. At noon my son in laws dad is dropping off my grandaughters things and their dog. They will be staying here tonight. Their parents should return from their ski trip tomorrow evening. I posted in open discussion about my dinner last night. Love my roses dh got me:D

Lora, I think a couple of weeks would be a good start. You do need to let your body adapt to it a little. I have found that when I cut back on cardio I usually do not have as much of an appetite:) I cut back when I was doing the M&F Hers rotation. I did that one for 6 weeks but the last two had a little more cardio because the strength work had jump rope and squat jumps in it.

Anne, thanks on our anniversary. Sorry you are getting a cold. I seem to always get them in August:( Right now I am dealing with the sneezing watery eyes of seasonal allergies. I hope you can get your workout in.

Hi to everyone

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

More packing today. FIL joked I would even pack him...NOT A CHANCE! He has been doing and saying things that make me want to crack...I cannot wait to get away from him, but most importantly, I cannot wait to get a brand new bigger home. The fence we will get around back yard will be the nicest and most expensive, I'm afraid! Yikes! Vinyl white fencing with 2 inch spacing so Speck cannot escape with her tiny self. I have calls to make and I have to start putting things on my calendar lest I forget. My body is sore and although I burned alot of cals yesterday weight is up. WTH? I am looking like I am putting on more muscle so I got to be careful now...never thought I would say it, but I am FINIALLY starting to get bigger,but I love the challenges of heavy weights, etc. so what to do? I have a problem now.
I am gonna get in some ab work today and that is about it. Got to much to do and besides my legs could use a break today. Arms still sore too. DD has allergies. Sneezing like mad. FIL wants to know where everyone is going, what time, when, how and where. Leaves post it notes about every tiny thing. Going to toilet..who cares, ya know??!!! LMAO!

Charlotte~~
 
Morning Maniacs! It SNOWED last night! We have at least 3 inches out there. So, that's gonna make my bike riding trail all muddy now.:(

Lora-Great you got a warranty on the Brooklyn! LOL!

Debbie-Nice workout! Those negatives are hard stuff. Yeah, where is Marieta and Janie and Missy and lots of others who came and went? I hate when you just start getting to know someone and then they disappear.:( It takes awhile to get to know people on these forums.

Diane Sue- I saw your annivarsary post. Bill is such a romantic! You are really lucky to have each other.:)

Meg-How are you? Hope you aren't getting a cold.

Anne-Sorry you have a cold and a sore throat. That sucks! Maybe you immune system is down from the surgery and all the hours you are putting in. You need a vacation! A real one!:D

Well off to find the dog poopy in the snow. DH keeps stepping in it.

Char- looks like we posted at the same time.:) So, do you want to get bigger? Do you want more muscle? If so, sounds like you are on the right track. I don't want more muscle, I just want to be "toned".
LOL! I knew that would get cha'! HA! Seriously though. I have enough muscle in my upperbody, just need some more in my lowerbody. But, mostly I have this layer of fat that loves me and won't leave me. Kinda like your FIL. ROFL!

Bionics,

You got snow???? lol. I really think if I gained another 1/4" to my arm, I would be fine with it, but I noticed too when I push myself with the heavy db's that I get more definition too and so I think if I can get up to curling with 45# db's in 3 sets, I might have exactly what I want. Now my legs are getting thicker and I don't think I want them much bigger. You would think biking alot would burn off more muscle there. That is the area I have to especially watch and so I think I will start going down in weights and doing more reps for lower body and continue the biking. Now my lower back is very stubborn and wants to hold fat there. Eventually I will find a way to get rid of it. LMAO about FIL. Silly woman.

Charlotte~~
 
Dallys - I guess when you pay as much as we did for her, they come with a warranty. We never heard of such a thing before.

Toasty - I never did understand how the heck you fit in a small top! I may be small on top and an ectomorph, but even I need large tops in Juniors. I also have to buy large in workout tops. I had my large, fitted yoga top on the other day and when I got sweaty working out, I was stuck in the thing. It was too tight to pull off! I thought of you and your smalls at that moment! Maybe you'll have to go up a size to accommodate all of that muscle in your upper body!

Diane Sue - I will *try* to cut back on my cardio but sometimes I get carried away and don't want to stop......and since I don't have to get ready for work!! I have noticed that my pants have been fitting just ever so slighly looser in the thighs and butt since I started adding the Fluidity and Iballet. I'm going to continue doing them twice a week with Barry's rotation.

Meg - hello! Good to see you. PLease keep in touch and do let me know what you end up liking from what I sent. Miss you around here and on the yoga thread too.
 
Lora,

My chest area is very small...very small frame, etc. I am quite petite in that area. However, T-Shirts are very tight around tops of arms.

Meg,

WTH? Where is my email? I ain't got all day, ya know? Gotta pack. Hurry. lol.

CHarlotte~~
 
AArgh choking on Dalls's comment about a layer of fat...I am a cow compared to you...LOL...

Charlotte, i think you look awesome...
Just think more muscle, the more you can eat and look awesome..
You are goofy. You are not getting fat at all...I want your abs.

Hi meagan...

Diane Sue, you and Mr. Bill (OH NO MR. BIll) are too cute.It is nice to see people happy after all those years..
 
Toasty - I would think your lats and shoulders would be busting out of smalls too!! You're a freakin' maniac with the weights.
 
I finally got my workout in. I took Mudd to the vet first. The other dog showed up here at 10:30. She doesn't really want to play and Puddle doesn't want to leave her alone.

Maeghan, good to see you check in:)

Dallys, I have seen those kettle balls. They cost a lot and I would want lots of different sizes:)

Lora, I know what you mean about getting started and having a hard time stopping.

Lora,

lol. BTW, nice name for your new kitty. Very classy and unique. Like it. I hope she adds more happiness and love to your life. We can never get enough of those things, ya know?

Well I really don't have much left to pack now. I have to give all the dogs a bath today and still do my ab work. My dd just got the 3rd season of One Tree Hill so I suppose we will be watching it again soon. We are both addicted to it. I made alot of calls today. I am really getting anxious and kinda nervous about moving. I just want everything to be on time..floors in, fence in, etc. I have to remember to tell FIL to smoke out on back deck at night as I have windows open now and the smoke comes in and wakes me up. I smell everything. lol

Where the heck is Marietta?? I dunno....

She's around...

Hi Everybody!

You guys know how I get and then I feel bad and so then...you know.
