Hardcore Fitness Maniacs October 2025!

Hi,

Today I did a OnDemand Pilates hips/balance. I also went for a nice walk outside.

This afternoon I had a live zoom Pilates coaching call: we explored progressions for familiar Pilates moves and focus on performing them with better form. She guided us through a mix of demonstrations, hands-on practice, and time for questions — think of it as a friendly, interactive tutorial. It was very hands on. My core is getting stronger, lol. The pilates push ups were tough on my shoulder/biceps. I don‘t think the shot did a lot for me.

Diane - how are you doing?

Jolie - I have OnDmand too. The instructor had a virus and wasn‘t feeling well. Glad your tooth implant and mom‘s recovering well. Wishing both a speedy recovery. Great job on your workout,

Debbie - nicely done today.

Roselyn - great job.

Good night.

Saturday I did CDorner Cardio 30 minutes, 213 calories, heart rate 144/162, 3,437 steps and a yoga stretch, 35 minutes, 76 calories. Sunday was a rest day and enjoying my grandson's stay. Today I did a full body workout with CDorner and she uses a stability for all of it with some dumbbells. I did not write down the moves. I used 10# and 8# dumbbells. This was from today, 48 minutes, but I had paused the watch and forgot to start it back up right away, so I got 39 minutes at 129 calories. I also tried the foam roller workout she did recently. She said some was exercises and some was rolling. Too much on my back as she did the whole back and rolled with her head way back. I prefer using the roller like Cathe does in the pilates workout. I added some stretches on my own. This was 21 minutes, 40 calories.
Total time today was 69 minutes, 169 calories.
I am sitting here and my dog lying here sleeping at midnight and I heard what sounded like an animal whining. Harvey heard it too. I just looked outside, and a young cat was crying on the patio. I hurried and shut the door so Harvey wouldn't run out the doggie door. I hope the cat leaves as we need to make a bedtime run outside.

Belinda, when do you leave on your trip. I do not like cold wet weather. I hope you have some nice weather there. Nice work on the pilates workouts. That is nice that you are getting some good form pointers and a stronger core. My shoulders and back are hurting. I thought since Chris was working through a back problem it would probably be okay. I had some balance on the ball with fore arms on the floor and it was not helpful for my pain. I don't know if I mentioned it, but the doctor had me stop the medicine. I am still trying to feel rested, because I am sleeping a lot. Getting my appetite back a little though. I am sorry the shot does not seem to be helping.

Roselyn, nice work on glutes and abs today.

Debbie, great job on Raw Box and Pump #8 today.

Roxie, good job on Raw Day #1 4 day split glutes and abs and Sunday's Slim in 10.

Jolie, I am glad to hear your mother is doing well and things are good with the dental implant. Nice work on the walks with your dog.
 
I woke up so sore this morning that I just could't do much. My body is so tight - I'm sure the result of not taking time to stretch. So I walked on my treadmill for a bit and then did RAW Stretch. Of course I didn't give myself enough time to do the whole stretch workout, but I did most of it and it felt really good.

Treadmill workout was 25 minutes, burned 172 calories, went 1.25 miles, did 2931 steps and HR was119/136.

Roxie - Great job getting week 1 done, sounds like you are enjoying the rotation!

Jolie - Glad your mom is doing better, that is good news!! I'm also glad your tooth implant went well. Have fun with P90X!! I don't think I've lost any weight yet but my clothes are fitting a little better. I hope to do the MT again Thursday.

Roselyn - Great workout!

Belinda - Good job with your Pilates workout!

Diane - We have stray cats all the time and my two cats fight each other because of it. So frustrating!! The vet called in "displaced anger" - they think they are fighting the cat outside, which is really weird. We make sure all our blinds are closed at night because that is when they usually appear. Just don't feed the thing, it will never go away!

Have a great workout today everyone!
 
Good morning. Today I did P90X Shoulders and Arms and I loved this workout. This is a slow paced workout where you can do 8 to 16 reps depending on your goals and the weight that you chose to pick up. I did 12 reps and went heavier than the last time I did the workout and it felt like I was lifting nothing! Boy, all I can say is taking a break from weights makes such a big difference in being able to go up in weight and making gains. When we did STS we always had the recovery week after the 4 weeks of lifting and I see why she did that before moving onto the next Mesocycle.

Debbie, maybe take an active recovery week with walking and stretching and your body will thank you for it! You have been going hard for a while lately, maybe you just need a short rest? Great job on the rest and the stretch!

Belinda, it sounds like you are enjoying the Pilates classes and walks.

Diane Sue, how fun to have your grandson visiting you, I hope you had a great time! Nice job with the workouts, you are doing great!

Roselyn, nice job on the workout.

Roxie, way to go on the workout and getting that first week in the bag!

85 degrees here today!!!! I am going to lay in the sun and get a tan and read a Christmas book LOL! Have a wonderful day.
