Hardcore Fitness Maniacs October 2026

Good morning,

Today I did Pilates lower body = 23 min + Jessica Smith 20 min Lift: Lower Body Splits. I am trying to keep my weight workouts around 30 min. I will go for a walk shortly, Sadie needs to get her exercise too.

My plan the next few weeks is to keep my weight workouts around 30 min (do 2 or 3 a week). Depending on how I feel. Pilates I will do 5 times a week, need the mobility/stretching. Do my dancing Tuesday/Thursday/Friday, I love it. I also will try to walk more outside. I will do more JS workouts, not sure why I am not doing them more often. I don’t feel wiped out with her workouts.

Have a great Monday everyone,

No workout for me today and really no good excuse. I woke up at the time I get up and was so comfortable and slept so good for once that I didn't want to get up. I should have, though, because my cats can hear my watch buzz to wake me up so they knew we should be getting up. They started their stupid meowing until we did get up. Those two drive me crazy sometimes.

I'll be back at it tomorrow.

Diane - Great workouts the past two days. I think I tried Box to Rock and didn't care for it much. If I remember correctly she doesn't really tell you how the moves will go, she just does them. Is that right? I like to 2nd one better. If you liked the workout I might try it again.

Belinda - What kind of surgery did your DD have? I will say a prayer for her. Why so many surgery's? I don't really remember you talking about this before? Sorry if you did and I missed it but I try to read posts every day. Hope she's ok.

Have a great day everyone!!

Evening,

Today I did live zoom dancing plus Pilates for posture. I also went for a walk.

Debbie - great job on your Workout. DD had cancer, they got the tumor out. Her margins are still very high. She needs a 4th surgery, next one is Nov 4th. Great job on your workouts.

Hi,

Today I did a JS Upper body plus Pilates. Getting ready for a short walk.

Debbie - thank you! Means a lot to me. Great job on your Kickbox workout today.

BBL
 
No workouts yet this week. We keep having things come up and trying to go take care of some medical things, but interruptions happen. We had a natural gas leak and they were here digging up our yard and putting in a new meter. Today we got up early so we could go out and no natural gas, cold water!! So I had to call to get someone sent out to get it back on. So, tomorrow we will try to go get errands etc. done.

Debbie, the moves on Box to Rock she does the moves and adds on to it then you just repeat it through the whole thing. It is okay, but the repetition and the one song over and over through most of it made it kind of boring. The music was okay, I guess. Nice work on Raw Kickbox July.

Belinda, praying for your daughter. That is a lot of surgeries. Good job on JS Upper Body plus pilates today.
 
Where is October going?!
my hamstring still bothering me so my doctor put me on a steroid and an inflammatory called meloxicam the pharmacist said not to take them together however I reached out to my surgeon and he said yes I can take them together. I'm only on six days of steroids I'm still being cautious. I might do my steroids first and see if I need the other inflammatory my knee really wants to bend and then the hamstring is fighting against it. I've been dealing with this since June 30 girls. I did do a chest workout today keeping up with my upper body doing isometric for my hamstring and trying to do knee therapy. I am woman hear me roar.

This morning I did RAW Strength 1 Cardio Acceleration and had a good workout. I like these kinds of workouts, they are fun.

Workout was 34 minutes, burned 219 calories, did 1115 steps and HR was 114/148.

I had to get a CT scan for calcium buildup in my heart area. Say a prayer everything is fine. My family history has nothing but heart problems. My mom was just diagnosed of the beginning stages of heart failure and my dad died several years ago of a heart attack. I hope my healthy lifestyle hasn't stabbed me in the back!!!

Roselyn - I'm so sorry to hear your are still having problems with your knee. That is strange how your hamstrings won't let your knee bend. Is that from what happened earlier when you had to have surgery? Did that cause this issue or is it new? I hope you start getting flexibility in there soon, that has to be so uncomfortable!!!

Belinda - Good job with your workout yesterday!

Diane - That is scary on the gas leak, I hope it's fixed. Our infrastructure is so old and we are seeing a lot of house explosions due to gas leaks in our area. It's ridiculous!!! Hopefully yours is good now.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Diane - sorry you having medical stuff coming up. I hope all is well. I am so sorry about the gas leak. I hope everything is in working order. No more problems.

Roselyn - you are doing amazing. Keep up with your workouts. Thank you for the prayers! I really appreciate. Yes, the power of prayers.

Debbie - staying a prayer for you. I hope your CT scan comes back normal. Glad you had fun with your workout.

Good night.

Belinda - great job with your workout yesterday and the walk, it really has been a beautiful fall!! I've loved it.

Haven't heard about my CT scan yet. Apparently MyChart has been hacked, which great. WTF??? So I hope I can see how it turned out soon.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Today I did CDorner Cardio Arms Met Com Dumbbells, 31 minutes, 162 calories, HR 111/147. I then did Lauren Strong Core with mini ball/ osteoporosis friendly, 23 minutes, 52 calories and Lauren Standing Stretch 12 minutes, 29 calories. Total time 66 minutes, 243 calories.

Roselyn, I am sorry you are having problems. I take meds together that are generally recommended to not be taken together. My arthritis doctor put me on them. Sometimes it is okay. Meloxicam never worked for me. I probably still have some sitting around.

Debbie, I always dread those CT scans. I am getting a chest CT next month. My pulmonologist orders them to check my lung nodules and they usually show plaque build up. I always dread it. I hope things are good for you. Some how mine is a tad worse. I need to call and schedule the appointment with my cardiologist that I cancelled while at my daughter's house. Nice work on Mega Mix #3. It looks like a good workout. We use MyChart and it seems fine. I kept getting updates on tests my husband had yesterday. It seems like there is a lot of places getting hacked. My Credit Union is back to normal. I tried to contact one of our life insurance companies to change my address and could not do it because they were hacked and trying to get their information backo_O. I had noticed it was taking longer than usual taking the payment auto pay. This month it was normal time so maybe I should check again. I hate trying to adjust address with everything after a big move. I got my new voter id card in the mail today. Wonder why not my husband since I mailed my husbands and my applications in the same envelope. Hopefully it show up tomorrow.

Belinda, nice work on the 2 zoom dance classes plus pilates and a nice walk with your husband. Weather is nice here right now. I thought I would take my dog out for a short walk in this neighborhood and he was fine till he saw a car coming up the street and he tangled himself up in the leash freaking out. I got him loose and let him go. He headed back to the doorstep waiting to get back in the house. I was hoping he would be fine with vehicles because cars drove up and down the road when at my daughter's. But then I guess he felt safe as there was trees and fence clear around their property.
