Wow, where is the week going? I can't believe it's already Wednesday.

My entire upper body is so sore today! Woo Hoo! Even my triceps. And all the way down to my elbows. I love it!!

Today was cardio and I chose to do Cardio Coach #6 with Candace. Had a great workout! Had to use my Polar HRM again and the stupid thing kept losing my heart rate. Very frustrating. I think these HRM just hate me.

[font color=indigo]Cardio stats:[/font]
[font color=blue]55 min.
41 min. in zone
325 calories burned
3.4 miles travelled[/font]
 
Morning Maniacs-

I did Cathe's Lower Intensity Step with Heavy Shoulders, Calves and Abs. Workout was 68" and I burned 430 calories. My HR didn't get that high during the step cuz I was just learning it. This step segment will be fun once you learn it. The music was okay and went well with the step segment. I also did Dharma Yoga for Stress Relief 20".

Have great workouts everyone. I'm going to get my foot x-rayed this morning.
 
Good Morning, I did 4 day split LIS w/up and cardio 3 times with 1 c/d then the calves holding a 20# DB through the first part and then picking up the other 20 for the last part then the core work using a 15# dumbbell, I then did 4day split KB core work and stretch adding some resistance to this too. Cardio was 68 minutes not counting the w/up. I am going to do some yoga in a little while. I thought the LIS was fun. By the third time I pretty much had the turns and stuff down. I used an 8 inch step and added more propulsions to it trying to get the hr up.
I guess I never posted what I ate yesterday. I didn't put all of it in my pda either so I will go from memory.

1 coffee whey protein smoothie with light soy milk and splenda
2 salad of mixed greens, spinach, onion, 3 oz left over roast, small sprinkle of feta cheese, fat free ranch and bbq sauce mixed
3 really hungry still, so had one of the childrens cliff bars
4 la tortilla factory low carb low fat tortilla with chicken, lettuce, and salsa wrap Veggie stir fry with salt free seasoning
5 baked apple, splenda, cinnamon and fat free sour cream whey protein mix
6 another decaf coffee protein smoothie

Lora, good luck with your x ray. I hope everything is good for you.

Good morning!

This morning I did Higher Intensity Step. I planned on doing the cardio section 3 times, but since I SUCKED at the choreography I only had time to do it twice and on the second run through I did the 3rd challenge 3 times because I just couldn't get it. I am so uncoordinated. I didn't used to be. What is happening to me? The highest my HR got was 151 (which as you know is low for me) because I would just stand there staring. :p Sometimes I wish they would keep the camera still. But I suppose once you learned it that would be pretty boring. :) I about broke my ankle trying to jump around, turning backwards, looking at the tv and not paying attention to my step. It took me an hour since I did that 3rd challenge so many times. I also re-round another part back but I don't remember which one. I should have done it the day after a hard cardio workout like CC#7 instead of yesterday when I just did weights. Now I feel like a workout sloth again.

Lora - Good luck with your doctor appointment.

Randi - Are you enjoying the new workouts? Is your brother staying safe from the fires? I don't see any near Pasadena. One of the areas where DH and I lived is burning up. So very sad. It's just breaking my heart. I spent the first 30 years of my life out there, so it's all so close to my heart. :(

Debbie - Good job on your DOMS! Just throw your dang HR monitor in the trash and give up. You know you work hard!

Diane Sue - Great workout. I wish I would have "gotten it" by the third time today. x( Good job! Do you put your coffee drink in a blender?

Lots to do today. My assistant is off. Hopefully the phones will be quiet. Oh, did I tell you we are dressing up like the group from Little Orphan Annie? And 3 guesses who I have to be since I have red hair. And another 3 guesses who the only one is who has to make a costume. Yup. So I figured I'd try to find a dress that I actually might wear again so it wasn't a total waste of my time and money. So I've got to try to whip that up this weekend. I really wanted to finish that other dress by this weekend b/c I had another fall outfit I wanted to start. But so it goes. I'll take one for the team at work. :) We have a costume contest at work every year and we've won the group one a couple of years - considering there are only a few departments who enter as groups. I'll post pics next week.

Good Morning again:)
Just finished BC bi's and tris that one got my heart rate up the highest! Anyone starting the premixes yet?
Will probably do all cardio tomorrow.
Suz my brother is fine for now in Pasadena thank you for asking:)
Off to work:(
Randi
 
Lora - Great workout this morning. I haven't previewed the cardio parts of 4 day split yet. I need to do that. I'm interested in the Kickboxing one. Good luck with the foot.

Randi - Yay on the DOMS! I'm very sore today as well!

Diane Sue - You did the cardio three times? LMAO! You are the Cardio Queen! Where did you find children's Cliff bars?

Char - Great going with Ab Ripper. And your meals look really good! :)

Suz - Great going with your cardio. I can't believe that 151 bpm is low for you. LOL! I know I should get rid of the HRM but I like seeing how many calories I burn. I'm addicted to it.
 
Debbie - I know. It's easy for me to tell somebody else to ditch their HR monitor. DH tells me to ride without mine and just try to enjoy my ride and I look at him like he just landed here from Zulu! :)

[font color=red]Leg Workout for Today

Leg Press: [/font] 4x15x140

[font color=red]Leg Extension: [/font]3x15x75
Stable from last week

[font color=red]Strive Laydown Leg Curl:[/font]3x15x55

[font color=red]Standing Calf Raises: [/font]2x15x110, 12x130
That last set burned! :D

No cardio today.

Great workouts ladies! :D
 
I finished my workout. I have been spending way to much time surfing the net today. I need to run errands and do some work around hereLOL My Kelly Coffey Cardio Kick Stepbox came so I went and looked at it and did the core work which was interesting done kneeling on one knee punching and sided to side stuff. Looks like it will be fun. I then did Eoin Finn's Yoga Quickie. Does anyone have the Abs Diet 6 min meals for 6 pack abs book. I understand from reviews that they are basically high protein and fibrous carbs. I put it in my shopping list but haven't sent out the order yet.

Charlotte, I don't care for bananas all that much unless they are in a daiquiri LOL But I do like the ice cream. Don't like those yucky sweet fruit sauces they want to put on them either.

Suz, a costume contest at work every year sounds like fun. I do put my coffee drink in the blender. My second magic bullet broke so back to the blender.

Debbie, I got the kids Cliff bars at Target. I figure I am better off buying the grandchildren healthy snacks so when the temtation comes on me I eat healthy stuff:) They love those things. Did you find any recipes that interested you in the Oxygen Nutrition issue? I thought some of the soups looked good and there was Elaine Goodheads Chicken Curry that I was interested in but don't have all of the seasoning here.

>Penney - Excellent leg workout girl! Are you getting
>major DOMS with this rotation?

Yes! :D Of course, not as severe as when the rotation first started, but my gains have gone off the roof since the reps have gone down. I don't do very well w/super high reps, except for legs.
 
Penney - My legs seem to do way better with high reps too, but I hate doing light weights. I'm such a stickler about increasing my weights. Although my leg training hasn't been that heavy lately.

Diane Sue - No, I really haven't had a chance to read it. I will soon. I flipped through it and that was about it.
 
[font color=darkpink size=2]Hey Mainacs! I did Bootcamp and Bis and tris. I loved this one! Very fun and my hr got right up there. I loved the weight work too. On those crazy tricep dips off the ball with your feet on the step, I found that if you put your ball in an upside-down riser it's WAY easier to actually do the exercise (my tip for the day) LOL![/font]

Eats for today:

[font color=blue]B-Oats-protein powder-ff milk-frozen berries
L-3 smallish pieces of left-over homemade pizza.:eek:
S-Baked apple-protein powder-lf sour cream-cinnamon-splenda
D-Green Salad-Chicken or Tuna-sweet potatoe[/font]


LoraGood luck with your foot xrays!

Debbie Glad you are feeling it in your tris. I love, love to be sore. LOL! Put a hammer to that HRM! Well...don't, but you know, don't let it mess with you.;)

Diane Sue Great workout! Those kid Clif bars sound interesting. How many calories? Sometimes the normal size ones are a little to big when you just need alittle pick me up. I just bought some of the Clif muscle builder kind and they are pretty good. More protein in them then the basic ones.

Suz Yeah, that 3rd challenge with test you for sure! It will take me awhile to get that one down. I was just flippin' around the step like fish outta water at times. Graceful I wasn't! ROFL!

CharThat banana is probably the only fruit that guy ever gets! I don't think I ever really liked banana splits, although I like bananas. Now, give me a warm fudge brownie with ice cream and chocolate syrup...look out!

Randi I felt BC got my hr the highest too.:)

Penney Great workout! You're doing great on the poundage!
