Hardcore Fitness Maniacs Oktober 2024

This morning I did RAW Lower Lift & Kick. I really liked this workout and I wanted to work legs today. This one is a good one for that. Next time I will use 30# for the Deadlifts/Squat Ups and the Lunges. 25# was too easy.

Each exercise is 1 minute

Elevated Heel Squats: 25#
R/L Chamber Kicks
Repeat

Glute Squat: 30#
R/L Back Kicks
Repeat

Deadlifts/Squat Ups: 25#
Knee Circle/Twist
Repeat

Alternate Side Lunge: 25#
R/L Side Kick
Repeat

I did about 10 minutes of lower body stretching as well.

Workout was 44 minutes, burned 269 calories, HR was 119/147.

Great workouts this weekend everyone!! No time for personals and I have a crazy week ahead!
 
Saturday, I did Raw Box and Pump 8 38 minutes, 144 calories, heart rate 111/135 and Walk Strong 3 Jessica Smith Total Stretch, 18 minutes, 32 calories. Sunday was a rest day. Today I did CDorner Power Step 28 minutes (did the warmup twice because I restarted with cardio setting, heart rate 138/164. Finished with CDorner Full Body Stretch with towel, 33 minutes, 39 calories. My ribs and chest hurt so bad. I called my doctor and am going in tomorrow morning. I need to find out what is really causing this. I keep waking up in pain and having to take Advil and use my heating pad. I want to be sure I know what is wrong before making decisions on med. Being careful today with putting pressure on chest wall and ribs.

Belinda, window cleaning is a lot of work. I could never reach the top of windows without a ladder. Our last house I never cleaned the outside of the upstairs windows myself.
Nice work on the walk yesterday and today's Jessica Smith week 2 upper body plus stretch.

Roselyn, nice work on STS 2 legs and bullyjuice 10 minutes abs, yesterday and today's STS shoulders and hiit bully juice.

Debbie, great job on Raw Lift and Kick workout.
 
This morning I did RAW Kickboxing #5 and I know I've done this one before and I really like it. The combos are fun. Kelly says it's fast and it's not necessary to use egg weights, but I used them for all the combos except the last one which was really fast. The others were very doable with egg weights. Good music in this one, just wish I could have heard it. Until the end, she kept it really low.

I then did STS 2.0 Metabolic Standing Abs which is my favorite on this DVD. That is a great little workout.

Total time was 52 minutes, burned 422 calories, did 4424 steps and HR was 138/178.

Belinda - Great workout yesterday!

Roselyn - Hope you had fun in Springfield. Great job with your workouts.

Diane - I'm so sorry you are in such pain with your ribs. I'm glad you are going to get them looked at. Maybe they should do an Xray? Sounds like maybe one is cracked or something. That just doesn't sound right at all. Keep us updated.

Have a great day everyone!

Yesterday's workout was a 3 mile walk with the pup. Today's workout was RAW Burn Out Upper Body, and I did really well with the weights, I went lighter and more reps than Kelly. Workout was 40 minutes, but I have no calorie burn to report, I forgot to charge my watch last night. My right shoulder hurts a little bit when I do chest presses so I have to go really light right now till I get it fixed by the Chiro. I was supposed to go yesterday but I screwed up the days. I will be going tomorrow first thing in the morning so it will be my rest day.

Debbie, great job on the past two workouts, those look great! I will write them down and give them a try.

Roselyn, nice job with the sts workouts!

Diane Sue, I am so sorry to hear about your pain, I hope the doctors get to the bottom of the issue, so you do not have to live in such pain. Nice job on the workout yesterday even though you are going through this pain.

Belinda, great job on the workout yesterday.

I cannot believe that it is almost November already! Have a great day.

Hi,

I had physical therapy for my neck/shoulder/biceps/ knees this morning. I did JS Strengthen: Lower Body, really liked it. It was Push/Pull set #1 quadriceps + hamstring. Set 2: Glutes + Hip Fexors, Set #3 Adductors + Abductors, on the end she did a nice cool down/mobility. I also added 10 total body mobility.

I am scheduled for laser surgery for cataracts. Nov, 11 I am scheduled for pre op.

Diane - I am so sorry you in so much pain. I hope your doctors can figure out what is wrong. I hope you feel better soon. I was wondering the same as Debbie? I hope you didn’t cracked on:( that’s how I have to clean windows with a ladder. I am too old to clean like that, lol. DH cleans the outside. We are still looking for the tilt windows.

Debbie - great job on your kickboxing workout today.

Jolie - nicely done today.

I am getting ready for a walk. BBl

No workout today. I went to my doctor and she says she thinks it is costochondritis/tietze. She asked lots of questions and pushed around on the area. I kept thinking the symptoms went more along costochondritis. She did send me to the imaging place and they did x-rays so we can be sure nothing was missed. So, she gave me a prescription of meloxicam to take for a few days when I am inflamed, and I picked up the suggested Salon Pas lidocaine patches. Also, she suggested I be avoid exercises that set off the inflammation. Hopefully the x rays come back okay.

Debbie, good job on Raw kickboxing #5 and STS 2 standing metabolic abs.I really liked that one too. I guess I need to lay off kickboxing for a bit though. At least till the pain lets up. I have been skipping weights with the kickboxing workouts because they just seem to aggravate things. I still get my heart rate up well.

Roselyn, nice work on STS 2 Chest.

Jolie, nice job on the walk yesterday with the pup and today's Raw Burn Out Upper Body workout. I hope the chiro helps your shoulder.

Belinda, nice work on Physical therapy and doing JS Strengthen Lower Body. That sounds like a good lower body workout. I missed stretching and mobility work today. I am hoping to get some in tomorrow. I was told by an eye doctor that cataract removal was pretty simple procedure. I was talking to someone recently and I guess there is set up appointments etc as well.
I hope you can find the pull down windows. If I find a name for some I will let you know. I have lots of papers and manuals on things installed in this house by the builder, but I have not come across the windows. They really put a lot into this house.
 
This morning I did STS 2 Biceps (One Body Part) and had a great workout. I went higher in weights with some exercises. I could have gone higher with the barbell curls and next time I will.

This is the workout:
Barbell Curls: 30# - 2 sets/8 reps
Barbell Curl/Pause Reps: 30# - 8 rep
Kneeling Alt. Sweeper Curls: 15's - 8 reps (I did these seated)
Kneeling Double Arm Sweeper Curls: 16's - 8 reps (I them seated)
Hammer Curls: 20's - 8 reps
CrossBody Curls: 16's - 8 reps
Kneeling Hammer/CrossBody Curls: 16's - 6 reps (I did them standing)
Incline Curls on Stability Ball: 15's - 2 sets/10 reps
Single Arm Preacher Curls: 17.5# - 2 sets/8 reps (I did concentration curls because the way she does these on the stability ball does not feel right to me)
Banded Dumbbell Curls: 15# band plus 5's - Lots of reps
Reverse Curls: 12's - 2 sets/12 reps
Barbell Wrist Curls: 8's - 16 reps (I used dumbbells)

Workout was 43 minutes, burned 181 calories and HR was 100/137.

Jolie - Great job with your workouts!! Yes, you have to try some of the RAW workouts I have done recently. They are all fun!

Belinda - I will need to have cataract surgery soon too. Just a matter of time. Hope it goes well for you. Usually you can see a lot better after they do that.

Diane - I will need to look up costochondritis, never heard of it. Glad you were able to get X-rays, they should do a thorough check to make sure something isn't cracked or broke. I hope that whatever it is, it gets better soon. So sorry to hear you are going through all of this. :(

Roselyn - Great job with your workout!

Have a great day everyone!
