Debbie, I always like to see what others lift too.

Roselyn, I would love t see your weights. I wish there was quicker way to pull down though.
 
Today I did Cardio Coach #5. This one was a tough one for me, not sure why? I'm tired so that might be why. Challenge 2 about killed me. Glad I did it, though. The more I do this one,the more I like it.

Workout was 54 minutes, ran almost 3.5 miles and burned 385 calories which I think is wrong.Treadmill said 536.

Today's workout was Turbo Fire Low Hiit 20, 19 minutes followed by Body Beast Build Legs, 39 minutes. I also spent 24 minutes when finished with my strong knees dvd doing a few of the strength moves and the stretch. Workout was 58 minutes and calories 325. I didn't count the stretching stuff. I am on the 4th week of doing Body Beast. I hit Build legs twice and Bulk legs twice. I think I like Bulk legs better :) The giant and super sets are killer in Build. Maybe I need build more.

Debbie, nice weights!

Debbie, nice work. I don't know why it is that sometimes it is just harder to lift as heavy than others. Maybe activity before? Maybe the workout the day or 2 before challenged the area we are working more than we realized. I do like those hammer curls on that workout.
 
Today I did Body Beast: Build - Shoulders. Had a great workout and love this one. I really like the exercises in this series, they are so different than what Cathe does. I am so sore all over I can't even believe it. I do think I have to eat more,though. I feel very weak and I think it has a lot to do with my calorie intake. However, I've been staying with Myfitnesspal and I eat what it tells me to eat. However, I don't think it's enough.

This is what I did today:

Shoulder Press: 10's/12's/15's/12's - 15/12/8/8 reps

Roselyn - Nice job!!! I love Bulk, love the 5 x 5 reps exercises.

Diane Sue - Are you actually doing pull ups on a bar? If so, amazing. I just cannot do those anymore. I remember when I was up to 15 pullups.
