Hardcore Fitness Maniacs June 2025

Today I walked the pup 3.4 miles this morning and will try to get a walk in this afternoon, but it is hot today!

Debbie, I have not ordered the dvd's yet, but I will! Great job on the shoulder workout, your weights are very close to mine in each exercise.

Belinda, I just got the cloth ones but have not used them yet. Great job on your workout.

Diane Sue, I hope everything has worked out for you!

Roselyn, nice job on the workout.

Have a great day.

Hi,

I did CL#528 Turned Up Trisets: Upper Body. Great workout.

Diane - I hope all went well today. Thinking about you.

Debbie - yes, those are nice bands. Where did you find those colors? I love those bands. I regret not using them before. Impressive weights on your shoulder workout. I still can’t lift very heavy with shoulders.

Jolie - nice job on your walk today. It’s so hot, humid and lots of rain here.No walk. Open those bands. You will like them. I had mine for years.

Roselyn - nice job!

Good night.

No workout. I got multiple areas they injected today. He had ordered it with a conscious sleep, but when the nurse set up the iv she came back and asked me if I could endure without it since insurance does not pay and I would have to pay 400 up front. So, it was tougher than I expected. The pricks were okay for the local after a numbing agent, but when they went in for the injections it hurt. They said I got a reaction so that showed they got the correct spot. I have bandages all over my back area. My back is sore this evening. He said I could go ahead and workout and start doing things when I asked. I told him does that mean I can pick up an 80 pound barbell, he looked at my face and saw I was kidding said I hope not. I laughed and told him things have slowed down over the last few years. I don't do that anymore. He does have a sense of humor. If this does not help, he said he could do a nerve block. Yikes. I am still going easy because most medical center protocols is 4 to 6 weeks then pt or lighter strengthening stuff.

Jolie, nice job on nice work on the pup walks, XTrain Burn sets, mix up of shoulders, biceps and triceps. STS 2 body parts are thorough and not fast. A good number of moves and variations.

Roselyn nice work on Upper Body.

Belinda, nice job on the two live zumba classes. I like the fabric loop bands. Mine are a set CDorner had on her website from Amazon. I often sub the lighter one on leg work that has the firewalker bands. They are a bit hard for arm work though. Those bands do not look as heavy as the ones I have. My doctor just told me to wait a week or two after the first procedure. Then this other came up. I do not want to already feel bad when I start. I don't want it to mess up my weekends so I may start Monday if I feel a lot better. The Mexotrexate is 2.5 mg 4 tablets once a week. I started the folic acid adjusting since my b complex has about the same as half a tablet folic acid in one tablet. I cut the folic acid in half to make a little over 1 gm. I read up on some websites and talked to dil about it and suggestions is start with the folic acid. My derm daughter is the one that suggested so that I split the tablet since I am already taking some. No folic acid on day of taking methotrexate. I seem to get a better heart rate and number of steps on some of those walk workouts.

Debbie, good job one STS 2 body parts shoulders. Oh, I tried that Raw foam roller and I thought Kelly lost her mind on some of those moves. Particularly fast and the feet over the head in a plough and coming back up just made me think neck pain and back pain galore. I do not know what she was thinking. I tried it twice and gave up on some of it and did fast forward till I saw the whole thing the second time.
Thank you for the prayers.

I also did the Boxing Premix from Kelly's Youtube channel as well. It was 22 minutes, burned 140 calories, did 2269 steps, HR was 117/160.

Diane - So sorry you are going through all of this. I hope this helps and that it was worth it. Yes, Kelly was nuts doing that on the roller. Crazy!!

Belinda - These are the bands (similar) to the ones I have: https://www.amazon.com/Honmein-Resi...rkout+cloth+bands&qid=1750345324&sr=8-24&th=1

Jolie - Order those DVD's!! You won't regret it!

Have a great day everyone!
 
Today I did CDorner Step Aerobics Cher, (really slow paced) 32 minutes, heart rate 118/154, 172 calories, 118/154 heartrate. Followed by Cardio Balance 18 minutes, heart rate 141/185(this cannot be right as I looked when it was 172 and I was just standing warm up tapping my foot and not breathing hard or anything. My battery was low so maybe that was it. Total time was 50 minutes, 290 calories, 3,440steps.
 
Hi,

Today was live zoom dancing plus SBF UB.

Diane - great job on CDorner Step Aerobics Cher. Those bands are like Cathe’s latex mini bands. Mmmm…I need to look at CDorner bands. Mine come in different strength levels.They are very sturdy. Listen to your doctor! You are on a low dose MTX. That is interesting cutting the folic acid in half. I always learn something new. I take my folic acid on MTX day, never had a problems. I have been doing this since I started MTX. I have an appointment with my Rheum next week, I will ask him about it.

Debbie - those bands look bigger than the once’s I have. I do have Cathe’s orange and green butty bands. Those I like.I do like the price on those bands, lol. They are a lot cheaper than Cathe’s .

Jolie - I hope you had a great walk with your pups again.

That’s it for me today. Tomorrow I get my new dishwasher.

I have the boss bands fabric bands, but did not get the other bands because I have light medium and heavy bands. CDorner called them Regina bands because someone named Regina gave them to her. They look like Debbie's.
 
This morning I did STS 2.0 One Body Part Legs. Had a great workout, I really like this workout. This is a good workout and a no dread factor for me.

1 minute rest between each exercise

Squats: 20's - 8 reps
Squats w/Pink Fabric Band: 20's - 2 sets/8 reps
Elevated Squats: 25# - 10 reps
Dumbbell Deadlifts: 25's - 8 reps
Dumbbell Deadlifts: 25's - 8 reps
Close Grip Sumo Squats: 30# - 8 reps
R/L Reverse Static Lunges: 15's - 2 sets/10 reps
R/L Side Slide Lunges: (did Elevated Deadlifts with 25's instead) - 2 sets/8 reps
R/L BSS: (did elevated squats instead) - 25# - 2 sets/8 reps
R/L Forward Leaning BSS: Did the same as above
Barbell Hip Thrusters: 35# - 3 sets - 10/8/8 reps (KILLER!)
R/L Side Lying Hip Raises: Skipped
In the Box Calf Raises: 15's - 16 reps facing forward, side, back, side - total of 64 raises (I did them all forward, I don't get the box thing)
In the Box Calf Raises: 15's/8 reps as above - total of 32 raises (Again, I stood forward the whole time)

Tough workout. It was 47 minutes, burned 228 calories and HR was 106/131.

Of course my HR is back to normal now. I'm supposed to get that recorder thing put on my chest next week but I sort of feel like cancelling it. But what the heck, may as well do it just in case something is going on.

It has done nothing but rain here the last two days. It's incredible how much rain we have, our backyard is a lake. It's crazy.

Diane - Good job with your workout, I'm glad you are able to do something after the procedure. You are such an inspiration!! My Garmin does that, too, when the battery is low.

Roselyn & Belinda - Great job with your workouts!

Have a great day everyone!!!
 
Hi,

Great job everyone.

Yesterday I did Cathe's XTrain Burnsets Chest and Back and had a great workout. The incline Chest flies hurt my collarbone for some reason, so I had to go down to flat flies. Today I walked the pup 3 miles, and I will get in another mile or two this afternoon. I ordered new shoes since mine have been discontinued, and I am finding it difficult to find another shoe I like and is just as comfortable.

Debbie, I looked into getting the Body Parts dvds and they are $24 per dvd, that is $90 for the set of Body Part workouts! I will wait till I can find them cheaper, also there is no STS 2.0 set available right now for some reason. I have almost all of the other DVDs in the set, I just want to purchase those and be done with it. Great job on the leg workout today. We have had barely NO rain this year in CA!

Diane Sue, great job on the workout yesterday.

Belinda, nice job on the Cathe Live workout!

Roselyn, way to go on the workout!

Have a great weekend. I will be walking a lot and cleaning :(
