This morning I did STS 2.0 Lower Body 1 and had an excellent workout. I haven't done this one since early August.

This is how it went - 1 minute rest between each exercise

Squats: 20's - 2 sets/10 reps
Front Squats: 30# - 2 sets/10 reps (those were tough on my shoulder)
Barbell Deadlifts: 40# - 3 sets/10 reps
Dumbbell Reverse Lunges: 15's - 8 reps
R/L Reverse Lunges: 15's - 8 reps each side
R/L Static Lunges: 15's - 8 reps each side
Close Grip Sumo Squats: 30# - 10 reps
1.5 Close Grip Sumo Squats: 35# - 2 sets/6 reps
R/L Side Lunges: 15# - 2 sets/8 reps
R/L Static Side Lunges: 15# - 8 reps
Barbell Hip Thrusts: 30# - 3 sets/12-10-8 reps (really felt these!)
Barbell Calf Raises: 40# - 20 reps
Elevated Barbell Calf Raises: 40# - 2 sets/12 reps
Barbell Calf Raises: 40# - 15 reps
Stability Ball Hamstring Roll Ins - Skipped
Stability Ball Quad Raises: Skipped

I had to skip the last two exercises due to time. Workout was 47 minutes, burned 257 calories, HR 116/150.

Belinda - You should try some of Wil Yeung's recipes, they are good and easy. I love to watch him cook, it is so fun to watch. He cuts vegetables like nothing. Wish I could do that. Nice job with your workout!

Roxie - So sorry to hear about your right eye. Do you have macula degeneration? I hope they can do something to slow down the vision loss. Nice job on the treadmill walk!

Diane - I also cut my own veggies, frozen just isn't the same to me. They usually end up being all mushy after they are cooked and I don't like that at all. I know what you mean when you say your fingers lock up, mine do that from time to time as well. It scares me and I hate the feeling. I get a lot muscle cramping in my hands too. Aging sucks!! Nice workout yesterday!

It's cold and windy here today, in the 30's with 55 mph winds. Yikes!! The weather is certainly changing now. Boo!!!

Diane - great job with Step # 413 + Raw Glute Finisher and CDorner stretching. Thank you…I hope the weather is good too when we pick up the RV.

Debbie - since you like his cooking I will give it a try soon. LOL, wished I could cut veggies like him too. He makes it look so easy. Great job on STS 2 Lower Body today.

Roxie - sorry you having eye problems. Great job on your TM workout.

Waving Hi to every that checks in after me.

Yesterday I forgot to check in, I had an early appointment and I ran out the door without posting. Yesterday I took the pups for a 3.5 mile walk through the hills, pushing a baby jogger with my senior dog in it was a workout!!! I must be pushing at least 30#s up the hills that way, my hamstrings are feeling it today. Today's workout was CL #351 Intense Upper Body and I had such a great workout. I like this one a lot and you can either go heavier weights with less reps or go with Cathe and do lighter weights and more reps. Today I did heavier weights and it felt great. This workout you do each body part by itself, and you repeat the round 2 times.

Debbie, great job on the STS leg workout, wow you are strong in the legs. I cannot do a whole workout for just legs anymore; my knees would be destroyed. I am moving my Max Trainer into the house this weekend so I will start using that to get my legs in shape for ski season. I am also using my rowing machine and if I use the highest resistance, wow, what a leg workout. The recipes sound delicious!

Diane Sue, so sorry that you still have that pain in your rib area. Have they done an ultrasound to see what is causing it. I am sure you have mentioned it in the past, but I do not recall. Great job on getting in your workouts even though you are dealing with these issues. I like lite weight workouts, there is no dread factor for me

Roxie, sorry to hear about your eye. Way to go on the TM workout!

Deanna, welcome to the group of some old ladies with a bunch of re occurring injuries and health issues LOL! Not really, we have all been lifting heavy weights for a long time and no some of us are feeling it as we are getting older. I have been in this group for well over 15 years!!! Great job with the workouts.

Roselyn, nice workout.

I hope you all have a great day. We have sun the next few days and then it is getting cloudy. It should be 72 degrees today so I am laying in the sun for a bit and reading a good book.
