Today I did Cardio Coach #1. Had an ok workout. I think I'm taking a rest week next week since it's Labor Day weekend and all. Plus my mom goes in for eye surgery on the 5th so I won't be working out anyways. My body needs some down time. I'm done...

CARDIO STATS:
40 minutes total
10 minutes below zone
16 minutes in zone

331 calories burned
2.25 miles traveled

Had a hard time getting my HR up. I never see 10 minutes below my zone, that is weird.
 
Workout was not wonderful but I think my leg feels better right now. I started with Slow and Heavy Shoulders, followed Butts and Guts abs with the stability ball. I then put in Tracey Anderson's Trampoline total body workout and did the warm up and upper body stuff and skipped the legs and finished with the ab section. This was 14 minutes. I did Shiva Yoga Shatki dancing warrior 4, backbend, shoulder openers, and lunge segments 22 minutes. I put in but I did 21 minutes of Freedom from Back Pain Yoga. This is not a calorie burner, it does nice careful stretches with form pointers and hits on posture as well. You get a lot of leg and hip stretch with it. I spent 1 hr. and 41 minutes
I think that I will do each 3 days of upper body parts and maybe see where to go from there. T25 Gamma has shipped already so I should have it pretty soon. I want this leg problem gone!!

Debbie, I will be sending prayers out for your Mom next week.
 
Today I did legs and used the workout from STS - Trisets. Had a good workout but my knees are really hurting lately. Especially the right one. I did most of the workout when I got to the 3rd triset workout group, I only did the rounds twice. Not sure what is up with my knees?

Everything was 10 reps with a 1 minute break between each triset.

Narrow Stance Squats - 20's
45 Degree Lunge - 12's
One-Leg Sit & Slides - 12#
***Repeated 2 more times

Diane Sue - Thank you! :)
 
Today I did Slow and Heavy Triceps, Biceps, and Abs, 60 min, 192 calories. I then did Tracey Staehle's Hi/Lo Med Ball Med ball mix skipping all but one of the cardio segments, 37 min, 179 calorie. I then did Shiva's Power Yoga Flow starting with forward bends and hip openers till I got to the pidgeon and felt it in my knee and I stopped and switched to Chakra Namaskar, 27 minutes, 66 calorie.Total time was 2 hr. 4 min, and calories burned 437. If something hurts I am not doing it! So anyway the knee feel pretty good right now.
DH came home early and bought me some beautiful flowers :D

Debbie, I am sorry to hear that your knees are bothering you. It is just one for me but I think I injured something.
 
Cardio today. I think after tomorrow I'm taking my week off. It will end up being more than a week rest but I need it. My knees were killing me during this workout. This time it was my left knee. Not sure what is going on. I'm wondering if I should buy new running shoes when I can. It seems ever since I bought those Brooks I've been having knee and ankle problems. Saucony's never did this to me. Not sure that is the cause but I suppose it could be.

I did Run Fit this morning. Had a good workout despite the pain.

CARDIO STATS:
56 minutes total

Today I did Slow and Heavy Chest and Back followed by Brook Benton's Yoga Burn. Yoga burn might have been a little much with the mountain climbers and jacks. They didn't really bother too much. I did have to modify a little on the pidgeon though. I did not burn many more calories than I probably would burn doing household activities. 325 total in 85 minutes
 
Today I did the upper body premix of STS Total Body. Had an ok workout. This is my last workout until Sept. 9th. I really need a break.

I changed some of the exercises around with this one. Like for the 1st Triset it has you doing Dips. I hate Dips so I did Standing Overhead Extensions. 2nd Triset has you doing Barbell Rows. I did Barbell Standing Curls instead because I don't think there is enough bicep work in this workout. Plus I didn't want to do rows.

Triset #1
Flat Bench Barbell Press - 40#/16 reps
Chest Flyes - 12's/16 reps
Tricep Overhead Extensions - 12's/16 reps
REPEAT triset with 12 reps

Bonus Burn - Tricep Pushups - 10 reps

Triset #2
Barbell Curls - 20#/16 reps
One Arm Row - 15#/16 reps
Standing Dumbbell Curl - 12's/16 reps
REPEAT triset with 12 reps

Bonus Burn - Bicep Curl w/Band - Many reps

Triset #3
Standing Overhead Press - 8's/16 reps
Upright Row - 20#/16 reps
Lateral Raise - 3's/16 reps
 
Workout is done. It took some thinking but I can out with something that worked.
Warm up and mobility from P90X 2 Recovery and mobility, 16 min. followed by Jackie Warner's Crunchless abs full workout, 33min., 175 calories. I then did Cathe's ride stopping after each segment to test out the knee and see how it felt to walk around. This was the warm up, first three sequences and songs, stopped at the heavier hill climbs and did the last flat and fast seated and standing tempo ride, then finished with the recovery and stretch, 35 minutes, 196 calories.( I did not use a lot of tension on this). I finished with budokon weight loss maintenance workout 33 min, 127 calories. Total time was 1 hr. 57 min and calories burned 534. I also did a little foam rolling and used a croquet ball on my hamstrings and calves. I didn't count that. I got my T25Gamma workouts yesterday. I am going to attempt the upper focus one tomorrow. I also think that the Pyramid might be doable for me after previewing.

Debbie, I never had luck with Brooks shoes. Saucony were always pretty good but the heels never hugged enough around my skinny ankles. I have a pair of very expensive Nike running shoes that I cannot wear. I tried different inserts and everything and I still had achy legs and feet. My granddaughter tried them once when she was here and I did not say they bothered me, but, she came back saying her feet hurt in them. My last two pair have been New Balance Cross trainers. I wear them for everything.

Roselyn, it has been hot here lately. From what I understand we should have some cooler weather next week.
 
This morning I started with a two minute ride on the spin bike to warm up and some foam rolling. I then did Tracy Anderson Total Body Trampoline warm up, a few of the weighted arm moves to warm up and then the trampoline workout front side, 18 minutes, 104 calories. T then did T25 RIP'T UP, 29 minutes with the stretch, 187 calories. I did not do all of the jacks and followed the modifier some. Calories burned 187. I know that I can improve on that but was trying to be careful. I wanted more delt work so I did X Train bonus delts, 13 min, 58 calories. I finished with Bob Harper's Yoga For the Warrior skipping the shavasana, 55 min, 205 calories. Total time excluding my own warm up was 1 hr 55 min and calories burned 564.
T25 Gamma RIP'T Up was pretty good. I had my HR up to 147 on some of it and I wasn't putting my all into it.
 
Workout is done. I really enjoyed it. T 25 Gamma Circuit, 30 minutes, 207 calories. I modified a bit but not much. Then I did Z Cut Yoga, warm up series 2 times (lots of push ups through the vinyasas), Crescent, warrior has lunge jumps, balance plyo, bonus abs, 2 times cool down. 44 min, 238 calories. Total time was 74 minutes and calories burned 445.

Roselyn, I bet you are happy. Enjoy your weekend.
 
Hi everyone- I didn't know that this thread was still going on over here. Long time no talk to! Good to know that it exists....however it has gotten smaller.

Diane Sue - what did you think of the Tramp workout? Did you like it?
 
Lora, so good to have you back :D I liked the Tracey Anderson Tramp workout. She used light weights for some of it. It hit total body. I couldn't do the lower body segments justice though because of my knee but I think it is a good workout. A lot is like the moves she uses in some of her other workouts. I really do wish she would talk and cue though, although she is not hard to follow:) I am not sorry that I purchased it. I have her Design 3 that I preordered coming Tuesday.

Today was T25 Gamma Pyramid, 29 min, 200 calories. Gym Styles Back, shoulders and biceps, 51 minutes, 289 calories. I finished with Z Cut Power Yoga w/up, crescent, and cooldown , 18 min, 87 calories. Total time was 98 min and calories burned 576. My knee/leg is considerably better. It seems twisting and twist hops are the things that really bother it.

Roselyn, I am sure you are enjoying having your son home

Debbie, have a nice rest and I am still praying for your Mother.
 
Diane Sue,

Yes having my son home was great,now I am sad all over again.

I did Gamma Speed this morning, have you done this one yet Diane Sue.
 
Roselyn, I would love to do Speed 3.0 but I previewed and too afraid to try it yet with the leg injury. I can modify some things though. The others are good though. I really like the feel of these workouts.
 
This morning was not a heavy duty workout. I just did what I could. I did Xtrain all out low impact Hiit double step premix with core 1. 40 min, 237 calories. I didn't want to add any other cardio so I could see how this workout affects my leg afterward. It really didn't bother my leg at all while doing it. I think jumping type propulsions bother more. Particularly jack moves. I wanted a good core workout so put in Supreme 90 Core Dynamics doing the w/up (modifying jumps) and the first two circuits. Once he got to side planks with leg raise and plank jacks with arms I knew I was done with it. 16 minutes 70 calories. I finished off with Les Mills Pump Flow, 20 minutes, 50 calories. Total time was 76 min, calories burned 357.
