Hardcore Fitness Maniacs - Oct 2

Morning Maniacs -

This morning I did ATRM Fast Fusion with Grace Lazenby and the Upper Body Segment from Exhale Spa - Core Fusion. Workout was 60" and I burned 309 calories. Not sure if I do the glute work with legs on the wall correct on this. I'm never sure how much to tuck my pelvis and lift up off the floor when they say "slighlty".

Have great workouts everyone.

Deb - I thought you liked Papa Roach's music? No? Or do you not just like them? No worries either way.

Ugh! I am not sleeping well due to all the coughing, so when I get up in the morning I feel horrible. I did not want to workout and I can't tell you how many times I wanted to quit during it. But it's done, and I did well, especially considering how I feel. Now if I can just get through this party tonight!

Kickbacks Double Arm - 8's/10 reps
***Drop sets, 10 second rest between each set. Tri's were on fire.

Lora - It's not that I don't like them, they just aren't my favorite. Like for instance, Seether - I'd buy every CD they ever made. Papa Roach, i wouldn't spend money on them. The music you tell me to download by them have all been good, though.

Linda - Sorry you still aren't feeling better. Coughing sucks. You did very well with your workout, though. I can't wait for Meso 3!

Workout this morning was STS disc 18 back and biceps, then I did Kelly's Body Training strength mix 16 minutes(this was mostly upper and core work. I think it is the upper floor segments and the hip mix is the lower floor work) I had a hard time with all of the various pushups because my arms were already spent from STS. I had to stop here, but wanted to try the standing workout #1 so did that when I got back and finished with STS extended stretch. Now I pretty much know what exercises are on Body Training. Total calories burned today was 648 55% fat. I also added some foam roller work. My legs were tight this morning after Wed STS leg workout and yesterdays CC Candace. I did the hills and those make my hips and thighs tight.

Linda, I like Walking Strong. It burns a decent amount of calories even though you are walking because of the hills and light weights. I think I burned close to 500 calories with it. It has been awhile. I like the side walking and stuff that she does for the legs. I keep forgetting that I have it.

Lora, I think taking 1 day to do a nice long yoga/ stretch workout would be good for you. That way since you feel the need to do something you are but giving the rest a bit of a rest.

I keep coming by to read up most days, but it has been busy around here, Halle was sick and I feel like my body is doing everything possible to fight off whatever it is, and I think she had swine flu. Very mild, no fever, but dizzy, headache, sore throat, tummy ache, ear pressure, eyes hurt, just odd things. The symptoms of it, and it seems lots of people are not getting fever, so it is going undiagnosed and being spread. It is all over her school. Anyway, I've been getting the workouts in and feeling good about it all

Linda - sorry you are still feeling icky. When you are that close to finishing STS, it is just hard to not get through the workout!

Diane Sue - I found a copy of CC#6 by Candace on amazon and am going to get it.

Debbie - so glad your mom is doing well!

Lora - it is hard to just take off, isn't it? I know. When I do it, or just do something low key when I need it, I do feel stronger next time. And sorry your work situation is so dim. Some retail stores are so good, some just suck. Sorry yours is one of those, and all the best in finding something that you love, where you are respected.

Today is the last day of Meso 1 for me. I dropped the P90X part b/c Mark is taking them with him. He actually did chest and back this week. He doesn't like the idea of doing an hour. I suggested that he do the first run through and not the second for now - better than nothing, and get ab ribber x in.

Next weekend, I am doing a duathlon, and Halle is doing one for kids! She is officially hooked.

Shana, swine flu is here in our community too. Along with the flu. People next door have the flu. One of the schools decided against their carnival tonight because so many children were out sick. I think you will enjoy CCC Candace.

DianeSue - Thanks for the info. I am thinking about doing that one tomorrow since I don't feel like jumping around, but yet to do something because I will be stuck in a car for 4 hours tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I am in the middle of complete party preparation chaos here or I would stay and talk more. Gotta run....

I did Pure Cardio and abs today in the Insanity series. Tomorrow will be day 6 then rest and then start again on Monday. I am enjoying but really have to make sure my nutrition is good to keep up. So that is a good thing because some days I know I don't take in nearly enough calories, but I am now.
