Yesterday I went for a 4 mile walk at the beach with my husband and pup. Today will be a rest day, I have two appointments early in the day so this is a good day to take off from the gym. It is getting cold here overnight, it is time to move my gym into the house otherwise it will be too cold in the garage.

Debbie, great job on the workout, I like that one too!

Have a great day and great workouts today everyone! Nice job on the workouts yesterday.

Hi,

Sorry for not checking in yesterday. It was my DH‘s birthday. DD/BF came and spend the day with us. Got in a lot of steps yesterday.

Today I did JS TB tempo plus SBF stretch.

Tomorrow I have 2 PT appointments plus another appointment in the afternoon. I hope I get at least a walk in.

Have any of you done a professional teeth whitening? I had one done today at my Ortho office. Nobody tells you have to stay way from anything that can stain your teeth like raspberry, blueberries, coffee or tee for 3 day‘s. I will survive

Great job on your workouts everyone.

Today I started with CDorner Step with Guy. He was leading and I was all over the place, so stopped after 10 minutes and pulled out Ice Low Impact Sweat Timesaver Step with warm up and stretch, total time for both 38 minutes, 188 calories, heart rate 129/149, 2,773 steps. I followed with Raw Yoga Stretch, 21 minutes, 33 calories. Total time 59 minutes, 211 calories. I also did the back pod and some therapy moves adding some tubing thoracic spine squeezes. Everything says you need to strengthen the thoracic spine to take the load off the chest.

Debbie, nice job on Box and Pump 8. I love that one and the music in it. Wish I could do it.

Jolie, nice work getting in the walk. I hope your appointments go well.

Belinda, nice work on JS Total Body Tempo and SBF stretch today. Two PT appointments, then another appointment is a busy day. I had my teeth whitened at the dentist office once. a long time ago. You get a lot whiter teeth when they do that. Then I got the trays and the do it yourself at home to keep it up.
Giving up morning coffee is the difficult one:rolleyes:

Jolie - Great job on your 4 mile walk! I miss my walks with my sister-in-law, loved doing that this summer.

Roselyn - Great job with STS Shoulders, that is a good one!

Belinda - Happy belated to your DH!! Glad you had fun. Great job with your workout! No, I've never had my teeth whitened, not sure I want all those weird chemicals in my mouth.

Diane - How are your ribs feeling now? Or the area that has been hurting, is it getting better? I hope it at least gets to a pointy where it's tolerable and you can do some boxing again. I know how hard it is not to do boxing, I love it and hated when I couldn't do it because of that stupid knot I always get.

Have a great day everyone! I have 2 busy ones - today I have to set up for Academic Challenge and then tomorrow is the challenge! Yikes!!!

Hi,

Long day today. I had my Body Composition Testing done.They used a Bod Pod for the testing. Looks like you sitting inside a giant egg, lol She went over my numbers, made a few recommendations on how to add more protein. I lost another 2 pounds since my infusion. Since I got off all the prednisone, the weight is coming off. I will get the Metabolic testing on the end of this month. It‘s a program that was offered to me, I jumped on it. Kinda interesting!

I did SBF Upper abs. I also got a walk in between appointments. I had an hour gap.

Diane - great job on Chris with Guy step. Once I got done with Invisalign, the Ortho offered to do it. I sent me home with a home kit. My teeth feel so much better today. I probably will do the home kit from now on.

Debbie - thank you. I understand if you don‘t want all those chemicals in your mouth. Great job on STS 2 Body Part Chest.

I am tired. I will be back tomorrow. Good night.

This morning I did RAW One-on-One Kickboxing and then added RAW Egg Weights Finisher. Had a great workout and I really liked the One-on-One workout. It was fun with good music.

Total workout time was 46 minutes, burned 372 calories, did 4406 steps and HR was 139/172.

I don't have time for personals because my Academic Challenge was this morning (went great!) and I need to get everything cleaned up and put away. Have a wonderful day!!

Sorry for not checking in yesterday, I had a very busy day. My workout was CL All In Upper Body and today I walked 3.3 miles with the pup through the hills. I found my old Fitbit watch, so I am going to start using it till I get another device, not sure what I am going to get. None of these watches tend to last long so I do not want to spend a lot of money because I think it is a waste.

Great job on the workouts everyone! I am super board with my workouts lately and I am going to start doing some more RAW workouts going forward once I move my gym into the house. Those workouts do not take a lot of equipment or space.

Make it a great day.

I have a busy week and planning early Thanksgiving Sunday. My husband bought me another e bike that is smaller and we went out riding yesterday. Takes a bit of getting used to it having some power. Yesterday I did Raw Your Healthy Back 39 minutes, 97 calories(this was the one that was a 30 minutes to fitness dvd. I have done both before. Lots of core and lower back it this one. I then did Raw Travel Tubing, 29 minutes, 116 calories, heart rate 112/142. I finished with Raw Yoga Stretch 15 minutes, 30 calories. I also did the back pod work. I woke up this morning with no pain or stiffness. That does not happen often.
Today I just did CDorner Funky Disco Step # 430, 41 minutes, 205 calories, heart rate 132/153, 3303 steps. This was a bit slower and lighter paced, with Intermediate choreography. I finished with the back pod work.

Debbie, nice work on yesterday's chest work and today's Raw Kickboxing one on one. I previewed that one while using the back pod. The back pod and work on the upper back has really helped. I was reading various forum groups where they discussed getting through Costochondritis and back to lifting weights. I also run into their mentioning the back pod use and how much it helped. Most did the back pod stuff and worked lighter weights and built the back strength back up to relieve the rib pain. They said the same thing I have thought worrying that if I pick up the weights I will be in pain again.

Belinda, the bod pod sounds interesting. I would have went for the metabolic stuff too. I keep trying to up my protein and calories. It has not worked yet. I weighed yesterday and had dropped to 100 lbs. This is not good. I feel like I eat plenty. I started throwing in peanut butter on toast and extra snacks like that. Protein powder and making dishes with meat and vegetables. I don't remember ever weighing that little as an adult. Nice work on JS Upper Body Push Pull SS and 30 minute stretch.

Jolie, nice work on CL All In upper Body and the walk with the pup.
 
Today I had an excellent workout. I did Cathe's STS Meso 1 Disc #1 Chest, Shoulders and Biceps, 54 minutes and I burned 381 calories. I am using my old Fitbit for my calorie burn, not sure if it is correct or not but it was close to the last time I did the workout. It is going to get cooler for the next few days and then get up to 80 degrees around Thanksgiving so I may not move my gym into the house yet since the weather will be beautiful as always during the holiday. I cancelled hosting Thanksgiving, we just want to be active, my son is going surfing all day, my eldest son and husband are going for a motorcycle ride and I will workout and go for a walk at the beach. In the evening, we are going to BBQ Steak and Lobsters and call it a day. My parents' issues have been so stressful the past 6 months that I just need a break.

Roselyn, nice job with the STS 2.0 workout.

Diane Sue, wow, an E Bike sounds like fun. There are so many here at the beach all the little kids have them to get to school and the beach to go surfing. They put rakes on them and carry their surfboard with them, it sure gives them a lot of freedom allowing them to get around by themselves.

I hope you all have great workouts today.

This morning I did STS 2 Biceps (One Body Part) and had a great workout. I went higher in weights with some exercises but only by 1#. I also did the bonus exercises too. They were cool.

This is the workout:

Barbell Curl/Pause Reps: 30# - 8 rep
Kneeling Alt. Sweeper Curls: 16's - 8 reps (I did these seated)
Kneeling Double Arm Sweeper Curls: 16's - 8 reps (I them seated)
Hammer Curls: 20's - 8 reps
CrossBody Curls: 16's - 8 reps
Kneeling Hammer/CrossBody Curls: 16's - 6 reps (I did them standing)
Incline Curls on Stability Ball: 16's - 2 sets/10 reps
Single Arm Preacher Curls: 17.5# - 2 sets/8 reps (I did concentration curls because the way she does these on the stability ball does not feel right to me)
Banded Dumbbell Curls: 15# band plus 5's - Lots of reps
Reverse Curls: 12's - 2 sets/12 reps
Barbell Wrist Curls: Skipped
but added:
Drop Sets: 15's/12's/10's - 8 reps each, no rest

Waiter Curl: 20# - 9 reps (not sure about this one, it hurt my wrists)

Workout was 45 minutes, burned 215 calories, HR was 106/144.

Jolie - I think my Garmin Venu SQ is almost 3 years old. Haven't had on bit of problem with it, I love it. I don't blame you about Thanksgiving, I'm glad you are looking after YOU. That sounds like it will be a great day for you.

Diane - Great job with your workouts! Glad you woke up pain free for once, that is a great feeling when it happens.I'm sure you will be able to lift weights again, it just takes time. When I get the bad knot I usually have to stop lifting for a few weeks. I hate it but it does get better. And it sounds like you are getting better a little at a time. Your E bike sounds cool. I've never been much for bike riding like that, an E bike might make me like it! LOL!!

Have a great day everyone!
 
Hi,

Today I did JS Strengthen: Lower Body (Slow and Low). Some of these exercises my PT have me doing to strengthen my knees. I also did shoulder mobility with SBF.

Diane - nicely done with your workouts. I am glad pain free. I hope it stays that way. I also have to lift lighter weights. I am worried I lose all my strength.I still can‘t lift my arm up. I hope it will go away soon. I have my PT appointment tomorrow. It‘s a good idea eating more protein. On one hand the lady for the Bod Pod wanted me to lower my cal from 1600 cal to 1400 cal a day. I don‘t think I hit 1600 cal a day especially if I eat plant based. I get full quicker. I am losing weight again, once I stopped taking prednisone. I get weight everything I go to the infusion clinic. I got weight again, on Monday. I am down another 2 pounds. I put on a lot of weight the last few months I was on prednisone. That is so cool about your e bike. My neighbor as one. She loves it. Have fun.

Debbie - great job with STS Biceps.

Jolie - great job on STS M1 D1. Are you doing the 3 month rotation or 6 month?

Roselyn - great job on your workout.


Have a great day and workout.

Today I did CDorner Lower Body Ball and dumbbells and stuck with 15# dbs throughout. They were going heavier. This was 33 minutes, 83 calories. I follower with CDorner Chair Stretch/mobility that she did this week, 34 minutes, 46 calories. Total time 67 minutes, 129 calories. Not sure how accurate, as my Garmin was showing no zone on the screen. The app was not showing right so I shut it down and then the app found it. The app said connected, but it was not finding stuff on the watch. I also did the back pod stuff.

Lower body was done in 3 rnds rnd 1 and 2 45 seconds, rnd 3 was all 30 sec with 15 movement and 15 hold with last exercise changed
rnd 1 and 2
3 pulse squat 15# dbs
stability ball fore arms on bear crawl position to straighten legs and back to bear
wall squat 15# dbs
kang squat; squat/dead/squat up15# dbs
stability lying on ball hip lifts 15# db
stability ball roll ins
glute bridge roll in
rnd 3
same moves, but 15 sec movement and 15 sec hold except the kang squat deadlifts 15# 60 seconds
 
My biceps are extremely sore today! Yay!!!

This morning I did RAW Lower Lift & Kick. I had a great workout and really like these types of leg workouts. No dread factor!

Each exercise is 1 minute

Elevated Heel Squats: 25#
R/L Chamber Kicks
Repeat

Glute Squat: 30#/40#
R/L Back Kicks
Repeat

Deadlifts/Squat Ups: 30#
Knee Circle/Twist

I did about 10 minutes of RAW Stretch as well. I like that one.

Workout was 55 minutes, burned 277 calories, HR was 110/140.

Belinda - Good job with your workouts yesterday.

Diane - Good job with your workout. Sorry your Garmin wasn't working. Do you usually have the app open as well when you are working out? I don't, I only set my watch while working out and then the workout goes to the app when I'm done. Wonder what was causing your issues?

Roselyn - Nice job with STS back and Abs

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Hi,

I did JS Core Strength and Stretch with the gliders = 30 min. She also did some shoulder mobility on the floor with the disc, very tough on my left arm/shoulder. I really liked the exercises. Than I did yoga for 30 min for the lower body. I am all stretched out. I am done with JS week 4 for this week. I probably will walk or stretch the next 2 day‘s.

Diane - good job with your workout yesterday. I hate when the fitness tracker not working while I work out. Sorry about that. Maybe you need to reset your Garmin?

Debbie - great job on your workout today. Impressive weights. I hope one day I can lift that heavy again.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Today I did CDorner Aerobic Class from 3 weeks ago, high or low and 10 minutes of her Hot To Go Dance workout, time was 40 minutes with both, 214 calories, heart rate 139/165, 4,055 steps. I then did the back pod and finished with Flow with Mira Thoracic Spine mobility, first 15 minutes, 24 calories. I would have liked to do the whole 30 minutes but pressed for time. I have been cleaning and getting things together for Sunday. Tomorrow I will be mostly cooking. Lots of potatoes to peel and deviled eggs. I may take the next two days off of workouts. Maybe just mobility and back pod.

Debbie, nice work with Raw Lift and Kick. I enjoyed that one. No, I usually am not running the app while doing the workout. I just stopped to see why the watch kept saying no zone and it showed nothing, but was running. I kept going and when I finished it was not showing all of the workout and still said connected. I ended up shutting down the watch and when I turned it back on and checked the app it gave me a reading. My husbands e bike can go around 46 miles an hour. It is the same bike as the other he bought me that we are trying to sell. Too heavy and tall. I told him it was more like a motorcycle than a bike. He mostly just rides without pedaling. The small one I just got folds up and I got up to 12 mph, but when it started speeding up more if I pedaled, I backed off. It takes some getting used to. Funny, my husband road to our daughters the other day and someone rolled down the window of his car asking about the bike. He thought it was a motorcycle till he saw the pedals.

Belinda, I usually get in around 1600 calories a day and it is not enough. My doctor says I need 1800 at least. For me it is hard to get more than 1600 unless I choose to eat pasta and things I normally do not eat. I try to keep it heart healthy and watch macros. My Fitness Pal will not let me change my goals or anything. I am stuck with what I set years ago. I guess now if I want to do that I have to pay for premium which I will not do. Nice work with JS core with gliders. Maybe the shoulder mobility could help with your shoulder. I have been working on the wall slides with my arms. Just cannot get them all the way overhead. I couldn't get them overhead before surgery when I had a PT working with me.
