Hardcore Fitness Maniacs Oktober 2024

Today I did CDorner #423 Step Workout with minimal breakdown, 47 minutes, 251 calories, heart rate 135/168, 4055 steps. I then did STS 2 Metabolic Core warm up 11 minutes, 46 calories. I also did CDorner foam roller workout (stopped when she had it on her upper hip/lower back) and did 8 minutes of her neck and shoulders stretch from her mobility challenge which was 12 calories. Didn't use the watch when I did the foam roller.

Belinda, nice work on getting in STS 2 Biceps done. Sorry Sadie is not feeling well. Poor pup. Hopefully when you get the RV back there will still be some nice days to travel a bit. That is quite a drive to get groceries. I stop at the one I used to go to once in a while when I go to doctors that way. Most of the time when I go to doctors though I would rather just go home.

Jolie, I would suggest something they were eating maybe since it is both dogs. Dogs get flus and illnesses though. I am glad the tests are looking okay. Nice job on Ripped and Ride 2019 Boxing Upper Body and Weights.

Debbie, nice work on Raw Boxing #7 today. I have done the same thing wasting time hunting for a particular workout. Is that one the one where she plays her sons music? If it is it is Abs Finisher under other workouts.

Roselyn nice work with STS 2 Upper Body 1.
 
Hi,

I just finished STS 2 8 week rotation with Triceps.Not sure what i will do next week, maybe take a week recovery?

Sadie - is eating and drinking again. Last night she started feeling like her old self again Thanks everyone for your concern.

I have no time for personals. I will be back later to catch up on personals.

Wow oh wow, what a week I have had with the dogs!!!! My older dog is fine now but the pup has a big issue. We found out he has eaten something, and it is stuck in his stomach. On the X-ray it shows something in there, but we cannot figure out what it is. On Monday he gets an ultrasound to show us what we are dealing with and then we can get a game plan to fix it. Hopefully not surgery, I have already spent $3000! Thank God for pet insurance, they will cover 70%!!!!!

Not much of working out this week but I did get a short one in this morning using light weights because I am just plan out tired. I did RAW Weights 2, 42 minutes with no calorie burn because my watch was dead this morning. I am going on vacation next Thursday so I hope to get in a workout or two before I leave. We are going to Mammoth Lakes to meet our son and his friends for a relaxing 4 days.

Great job with the workouts this past week everyone. Have a great day.

I do not feel like doing a workout today. I have absolutely no desire whatsoever. What is wrong with me? I usually look forward to it but today NO. Maybe I have too much on my mind and I just cannot focus on myself right now. Tomorrow morning is my pups ultrasound so I will finally get some answers on why he is feeling so bad. Thursday we are leaving on vacation, and I will be home Monday night.

Have a great Sunday.

Taking a rest day today.

Yesterday I did CDorner Old School Aerobics & abs (skipped the abs) 31 minutes, 161 calories, 4, 073 steps, heart rate 136/161. I followed with CDorner mobility day 6 full body stretch day 8, 14 minutes, 21 calories.
Today is a rest day. My hours are changing since my husband started a new job and will work day shift now. We were up at 5 am this morning. I am used to getting up around 8 or 9 so this will take a bit to turn around.

Jolie, I hope whatever your pup swallowed is not something that will require surgery. I have never purchased pet insurance and the most ever spent was around 1000 for a great dane we had and we ended up having to put her down as she was not going to live beyond another 6 months. Bad breeders on that one.
My vet told me to bring my dog back for a steroid injection because he could not do one after the shots. That is if she is still licking her elbows. Which she is and I really want to get the cone off of her head. I have to wait at least 2 weeks.
It sounds like you have a lot on your mind right now and maybe a day or two off will not hurt. A relaxing vacation sounds like something you could use.
 
No workout today, a lot going on around here. I just dropped off the pup at the vet for the ultrasound, I hope whatever they find is not bad. Also, I have new rain gutters being installed on our house, so I have guys working here all day. I have not been sleeping well because I am not getting in my workouts and I just do not sleep sound unless I workout.

Great job on the workouts yesterday! I hope you all have good workouts today and I will try my hardest to get a workout in tomorrow and Wednesday before I leave for my vacation on Thursday. I am going to the Sierra Nevada mountains so I will be hiking a lot and getting in my steps.

Hi,

I did a barre workout this morning plus dance workout.

Jolie - I hope your little puppy is ok. How is he doing? My thoughts are with you.

Are you guys buying anything from Cathe’s sale? She has some really good prices. I already have everything.

Jolie, I hope your put is okay and you get in the workouts that you want to do before you leave.

Debbie, nice work on Box and Pump 8. I really liked that one too. I am happy for the music being good even if it is loud. I wish the newer boxing ones had some good music. I think I read on the description of the kickboxing one that it had good music. I did not think it did, but the choreography was fun.

Belinda, nice work on the Barre and dance workouts today. I saw the sale, but I can't order right now. I do need some new yoga blocks though. Mine have chunks out of them and bite marks from grandchildren and one of my past dogs. I have all of the bands, mat, and things for the new workouts though.

Diane - great job on the Killer Legs, KB and Mat Yoga today. The prices are the lowest I ever seen. Wonder if Cathe stops selling DVD’s? I looked at the yoga blocks, they are not on the site.

I'll have to check out Cathe's DVD sale, is it still going on?

Today I did RAW Cardio Core Fusion and Boxing Finisher. Had a great cardio workout. I liked Cardio Core Fusion, I was even able to do the plank work segments she did. I really felt it in my abs which is good because my abs are getting really fatty. I hate it. My eating has been terrible lately and it sure does show. I need to get back on track and plan to. I am doing just that, actually.

Workout was 51 minutes, burned 401 calories, went 3333 steps and HR was 136/184.

Diane - Great job with Killer Legs, that looks like a good one but sort of has a fear factor to me reading your descriptions! LOL!!

Belinda - Great job with your barre workout yesterday. I am going to check out the DVD sale, I think there were a few I'd like to get.

Roselyn - Great job with kickboxing yesterday!

Hope you all have a great day and workouts! It is cold and rainy here, nice day to curl up on the couch and read a book!!

Today I finally got into the gym room and got in a great workout! I did CL #465 Strong and Fit All Upper Body, I love this workout. Workout was 1 hour and I burned 422 calories. You can either do high reps lower reps or pick a heavier weight and do lower reps. I picked lighter weights since I have not lifted in the past week. My muscle were burning pretty good by the last few reps. This workout does not have a lot of back exercises, so I added a few cable pull down exercises at the end of the workout.

My pup got his ultrasound yesterday and he is clear with no blockage. I gave him fiber supplements to help him pass the stuff that was either suck inside of him and we also induced vomiting to get the stuff out of his stomach. He is now clean as a whistle but boy was that expensive. Thank goodness for pet health insurance!

Great job with the workouts yesterday everyone!

Diane, if I did that killer legs workout that you did, I would not be able to walk for a week! great job

Debbie, nice job with the workout today. I did not buy any of Cathe's dvds on the sale because I have so many of them that I hardly use because they are too hard for me to do now, they high impact kills me!

Roselyn, nice job on the workout.

Belinda, nice job on the barre workout yesterday. Can you believe, I have never done a barre workout ever!!!

Make it a great day.

Evening,

today I had a physical therapy assessment for my neck this morning. I will start PT on Monday. I did a short posture workout.

I am so tired today. I will catch up in the morning.

Good night

Belinda, I hope the PT helps you. I looked at Cathe's gear before when looking at the mini ball and balance discs. I just went to Amazon and got a second disc like the first one I had purchased. I did not see the yoga blocks then either.

Roselyn nice work on the CDorner Kickboxing workout. They are usually fun.

Debbie, good job on Cardio Core Fusion and the plank portions. Plank work has been bothering my wrists lately and I really prefer them than ab work that has me holding my head off the floor. I like Killer Legs, it really is not as bad as it may sound. I have filled up half of one of those workout cards so have done it quite a bit.

Jolie, glad you got CL #465 Strong and Fit Upper Body today. I am glad that your pup is okay. I haven't noticed any soreness from yesterday's Killer Legs yet. My luck it will hit tomorrow when I am headed in for my arthritis appointment.
