Today I did CDorner Step #489 60 minutes, 347 calories, heart rate 127/155, 4,745 steps. I finished with Yoga Adrienne Neck, shoulders, upper back and some CDorner mobility, 29 minutes, 60 calories. Total time 89 minutes, 407 calories. I spent some time working with my dog on leash walking. At least I have finally gotten him to not turn and jump on me. I even got him out to the front yard and he walked to the mail box, front door and back around to the back yard. I may get him leash trained finally.

Belinda, good for you getting in a nice long walk and Zoom pilates class. I think Cathe's 3rd LMR 2 bonus download is supposed to be up tomorrow. I should go look and see if she has said what it is. I don't see it. I was sure I read it on one of the emails this week.

This morning I did RAW Lift w/CardioAcceleration #4 and had a great workout. This one was fun except the squat thrusters, I ended up just doing her modification of the side to side lunges.

I used my step with 2 risers and each exercise was 45 seconds on/15 seconds off. This is a 30 minute workout.

Circuit 1
Gorilla Row: 25's
Reverse Lunges: 15's
Triple Inner Thigh/Squats
Repeat

Circuit 2
Lateral Raise/Front Raise: 8's
Side Lunges: 8's
2 Knee/Jacks
Repeat

Circuit 3

Squat Thrusts off Step
Repeat

Circuit 4

Then I did RAW Boxing Finisher using my 1.5# egg weights. This is a great compliment add-on to the first workout I did, loved it.

Total workout was 46 minutes, burned 320 calories and HR was 125/180.

Can't believe it is already September. Geez! I'm LOVING the weather, though!

Have great workouts today!

Heat wave here this week! :( This is what I did the past few days.
Wed- 4 mile walk
Thursday- All In Upper Body
Friday- 4 mile walk
Saturday- 6 mile walk
Sunday- rest day
Monday- 5 mile steep uphill walk on the TM, wow oh wow was that tuff but I did it!
Today- CL Upper Body Challenge with the ball.

My bathroom is finally finished so I will be back to regular workouts going forward, no need to be missing them for contractors until we start the next one!

Debbie, great job on the workout today, that looks like a good one. Do you take Beet root, Olive leaf extract and grape seed extract? Those would help a lot! Olive leaf especially.

Diane Sue, great job on the workout and it is great when our dogs behave on the leash, right!

Belinda, nice job on the walk and workout. What free subscription are you doing?

Have a great day.

Debbie, great job on RAW Lift w/Cardio Acceleration #4 and boxing finisher. I always have mixed feelings about September. A bit cooler, but it means summer which I love is over and I am not so much a fan of rainy weather.

Jolie, nice work on the walks, CL All In Upper Body, CL Upper Body Challenge with the ball. I am hoping to get my dog out for some walks here and there. It has taken time to get his trust. He still has separation anxiety when we are gone or out of the room. I am working on that. He is cuddly over all.
 
Hi,

Today I did zoom dance workout and day 2 of the yoga challenge.

Diane - great job on your UB workout. It was the original LMR? I am downloading the bonus upper body. I will do that one tomorrow.

Debbie - great job on RAW Lift w/cardio Acceleration #4 and finisher.

Jolie - great job on your workouts. I’ll bet your bathroom looks fabulous. What color did you pick? I need ideas. I am not following a free subscription. I am doing a free 30 day yoga/pilates on YT. I did do a free Pilates class on Sunday. I follow the instructor for a while and like how she teaches Pilates. Her subscriptions is a little expensive.

Good night.

Belinda, yes it was the original LMR. I downloaded the LMR 2 bonus upper body heavy weights. I wrote down all of the moves and would never do all of those bench presses with 25's. Way to much I think for my pain areas right now. It moves from lots of chest to close grip then lots of triceps then by the time it gets to shoulders the weights get much lower. When I do decide I can try I will go much lighter. Mostly 10 reps for all moves.
Nice work on the zoom dance and day 2 yoga challenge.
 
This morning I did Cardio Pump Workout #1 which is a very fast but fun boxing workout by Kelly. I was going to use my egg weights but this one is way too fast for that. It is a fun workout with great combos.

Workout was 31 minutes, burned 254 calories, did 3797 steps and HR was 136/157.

I also did RAW Stretch 2 - (Diane, this is the one we were looking for. She renamed it for YT I think. It's under Floor Work/Other). I was only able to do about 15 minutes of it, but I do love this stretch workout and the music.

Jolie - Great job with your workouts! I bet your glad your bathroom is finished! Yes, I'm taking beet root. My BP is still high but I haven't taken it for a few days. I will check it today to see if the beet root is helping. I've been taking them about 2 weeks now.

Roselyn - Nice job with your workout.

Diane - See my note above - I found that stretch workout. I love the Cardio Acceleration workouts, I'm going to do the others. I guess they are similar to Box & Pump, she just uses different cardio exercises instead of boxing. They are fun, though. Great job with your workout, that one looks like a good one!

Belinda - Nice job with your workout!!

Have great workouts everyone!!
 
Hi,

Today walked early this morning, I also did LMR2 UB strength: Chest, Triceps and shoulder. It was around 40 min. Great workout. She goes a lot heavier in LMR2. I went lighter but added more reps. I also did D3 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW0v0k7UCVrmxjRdKSXQPWWnptNmd87dA. I thought my arms was going to fall off after LMR2 UB.

Next Thursday I have my eye surgery to rotated my lens. I will not take a rest day until my surgery. I know I will be out for a few day’s. I still will walk.

Diane - I hear you on the 25’s. Cathe used the same weight in LMR2 today. I went lighter but added more reps. Cathe did mostly 10 rep range. I did like it.

Debbie - great job on your workout.

Roselyn - nice job yesterday.

Have a great day everyone.

Debbie, nice work on Cardio Pump #1 today. Stretch #2 is not the one I was looking for. Stretch #2 is 20 minutes. The one I was looking for is 14 minutes long. I am pretty sure it is not there anywhere. I have went through everything more than once. I do like stretch 2 though. I am just a little careful of stretches and mobility that has me folded over moving back and forth, as it seems like it might not be so good for the spine if it is prone to fractures. I keep modifying those moves I always thought it would help open up space but coming back up in a curve not so much. You got away without doing the balance at the end:p

Belinda, good for you getting in LMR2 bonus chest, triceps, & shoulders today. The bonus workouts are all supposed to be heavy weights. I don't think the LMR 2 will be that heavy. Whenever I decide to do it I will be going lighter. It seems that most of the time spent on it hits chest and it is short when it finishes off with shoulders.

Belinda - Great job with your workout!!

Diane - Sorry, I thought you meant the one with the Christian music is the one you were looking for. I don't remember the one you are talking about? LOL on me not doing the balance moves. I always seem to miss doing that because of time. So did you subscribe to Kelly's YT channel?

Have a great day everyone!
 
Yesterday I walked the pup 3.8 miles, it was so hot. Today's workout damn near killed me! I did Les Mills Combat 30 using 2# egg weights and 1/2 of extreme cardio fighter with the egg weights. Wow oh wow will I be sore, I have not kicked that much in a long time. I love kick boxing; I am starting back at it again. Two more days of hot weather and then it will cool just a little bit.

Great job on the workouts everyone!

Daine Sue, what does LMR stand for? My dog has anxiety when I leave too, I have to leave him every day just so he does not get too attached.
Tomorrow is a walk and then Saturday I am meeting my parents for breakfast so no workout.

Have a great day.
