Hardcore Fitness Maniacs September 2026

Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment and a hyaluronic injection in my knee. We went by our house and the painter was done with the garage and garage floor and working in the kitchen area. Tomorrow we should be getting our appliances delivered. Today I did Lauren isometric hold weight workout total body. I don't have the info on me right now. I followed it with a cardio build bone workout that was low impact with an added impact optional. I doubt I will be working out tomorrow. We are going shopping for a microwave after measuring at the house. It will probably be another week before we really get a lot moved in. Yeah, we had a little rain shower today. Things are terribly dry here. This has been one long over 100 degree summer. Just going out and getting into a hot car is miserable.

Debbie, I will see about some soaps once I am moved. I am glad your mother is okay. I don't know how you encourage someone to drink water. I love water myself and have bottles all over the house and in my car. As far as the charts and information, they scare me when I see mine, but the doctors are not all that worried, some things are just kind of normal with aging I guess. They read worse than they are. I have my daughter look at mine and most of the time what looks bad to me is nothing to worry about. Although she looked at one of my heart scans and said she was surprised they didn't put in a stint. Not sure why as I have no problems at all. I wonder why I am going to the heart doctor every year to check me out. They send me home and say I am okay. Raw Right to Bare Arms sounds like a fun workout.

Jolie, I am really sorry your mother had to go to the hospital again. I am glad walking is working well for you. I get up and walk around the front 5 acre area of hills around my daughter's house with my dog in the mornings, but it is more of a slow casual walk, because he wants to check the woods for rabbits and squirrels that ran to hide.

Belinda, have fun at your daughter's wedding. You are so good at keeping up with workouts even when you are not at home.
 
This morning I did RAW Kickbox July and had a great workout. I really like this workout, it gives me a lot of step. The music is so so but some of it is really good. It is a fast one so using egg weights is a no go.

Workout was 39 minutes, burned 318 calories, did 4778 steps and HR was 132/171.

Roxie - I have always been a big water drinker, I love it. Now I have to get my mom to love it although I noticed she's drinking quite a bit at the nursing home. Crazy what a number dehydration can do to you.

Diane - You certainly have a lot on your plate right now. Don't worry about ordering soaps, I just wanted you all to see my fall collection. It turned out great! I'm the same with water, I have it everywhere. There are days I catch myself because I'm not drinking enough, especially on the weekends. I can feel it too, I'm dizzy and have headaches when I do that. I agree on the tests, that must be why. No one seemed really concerned about some of her numbers. I just pray she can be with us for a little longer, she worries me all the time. I think you would love Raw Bare Arms workout, it was a good one.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Evening,

The wedding was amazing. The weather was hot day. I am so happy for the bride and groom. We celebrate d 3 day’s. It was so much fun.

On Saturday DD’s yoga retreat instructor from LA came and thought a yoga class before we all got ready to get hour hair and make up done. It was a restorative yoga class, felt amazing. The venue was beautiful, barn style wedding. I can’t hardly walk anymore, taking a rest day today. Hopefully I can get a workout in tomorrow.

Thanks for the congratulations on my DD’s wedding. I am happy to have gained a new son.

Evening,

today I did LMR LB plus Pilates.

I met my son and daughter in law for lunch today before they leave tomorrow. Sadie had a vet appointment they checked her electrolytes. Her numbers are normal, yeah. Her vet said that Sadie is A systematic. She also believes when Sadie had pancreatitis a few weeks ago, it was Addison Disease. On Sept 24 she will get her hormone shot. The vet will taper the prednisone again. I am so happy Sadie is doing so well.

Debbie - thank you so much. My DD is beautiful inside and out. My son in law is amazing. Couldn’t ask for a better guy, lol. I get along with him well from the beginning. Great job on your Back and chest workout. Can you please repost the link for your soaps? I can’t find it anymore :(

Jolie - sorry about your mom. I hope she feels better soon.

Diane - I hope the hyaluronic injection gives you some relief. I will get the same shots tomorrow. Glad your house is moving along for you to move in soon.

Good night.

This morning I did RAW 4DS Legs & Shoulders and had a great workout. I also wanted to do the Kettlebell Finisher that was originally part of this workout but couldn't find it. So I found one called Kettlebell & Kickboxing and I did about 10 minutes of that. I think I will do that entire workout tomorrow, it was fun even though I'm not a fan of kettlebell workouts. Every now and then it's fun, though.

Workout was 41 minutes, burned 249 calories, HR was 115/148.

Belinda - my website is www.pureheavennaturals.com - The fall release it out there. I will be posting a Halloween one the first of October. Use SAVE10 for 10% off your order. :)

Roxie - Great job getting your workout in!! It's supposed to get humid here again too. I'm over it already!!!! Can't wait for fall.

Hi to everyone else!! Hope you all post soon.

Have a great day everyone!!
 
Oh my goodness it is so hot here. I'm sure it is all over the place but fall just needs to arrive so I've been incorporating some leg exercises now my therapist said whatever I feel I can handle ,taking it slowly still with the legs, I did a Caroline upper body workout today

Evening,

I had hyaluronic injection in both knees today. I hope this is it.I been having swelling/pain in both my ankles. My Rheumatologist took an ultra ultrasound of both ankles, I have a lot of inflammation. My dr said it’s in an area where you usually don’t get inflammation. He wants me to get an MRI done on both ankles with contrast. It could be RP, RA or OA. I got a lot of blood test done today.

Today I did LMR Core fusion. That’s it.

Debbie - thank you for the link. I will check it out.

Good night.

No workout today, I had something really scary happen to me yesterday. So I went to the bathroom right before I left work and a stabbing pain was in my right side right after and it hurt to pee. That pain lasted until I went to bed last night. I thought my appendix burst just like my husbands, the pain I described to him was about what he felt. However, I've had this stabbing pain my entire life on and off but it was more of a "runners stitch" and would go away within 30 seconds. This time it last hours. I drank a laxative and I do believe it was gas buildup because the pain was gone by the time I went to bed. I don't think appendicitis pain comes and goes. At least I hope it doesn't. I wish there was a simple test to take to see if that could be the problem but every doctor's office says to go to the emergency room. Why? So I can sit for 6 hours like my poor husband did? I guess if it happens again I'll have to go, but I just hate the thought of that. Our healthcare system is so broken.

Anyone have this experience before with gas? I had on an elastic band pair of pants and it was really tight. As a matter of fact, all my pants are tight now because I've gained weight and really need to concentrate on losing it. But that area got really compressed with the waistband tightness and I think that's what caused the blockage of gas. I mean seriously. If it's not one thing it's another.

On a happy note, my mom should be released from rehab tomorrow or Friday so I'm so happy about that. She is doing amazingly well!!

Roselyn - I'm glad you are able to do some leg workouts now. Take it easy, it will all come back strong and you will be good to go!!

Roxie - Good job with your workout. I was going to do the Kettlebell one today but skipped it due to what I explained above. Hopefully tomorrow I can do it.

Belinda - I hope the injections help you as well. Hopefully the MRI will show what is going on. I feel so bad for you always going through this stuff. You are one tough cookie!! You and Diane both! Great job on your workout.

Jolie disappeared again. LOL!

Have a great day everyone!!

I started a post yesterday and never got back to it:rolleyes: We are busy so I try to fit something in when I can. Tomorrow we will go to the house and wait for our appliance delivery.
Yesterday I did Lauren Cardio & Strength Bone Density workout 34 minutes, 220 calories. This one just uses 5# dumbbells and does cardio intervals of low impact followed if want to do the higher which a lot of is just a little hop or light stomp. 34 minutes, and had restarted from doing first 5 minutes, 31 calories. 251 calories, HR 133/161. I followed it with Pilates Chair Workout & Dynamic Stretching( a new osteoporosis friendly workout) I liked this one and look forward to using it more. It was 17 minutes, 50 calories. Total time 56 minutes, 301 calories.
Today I did Lauren 30 minute Low Impact Walk at Home Music to the Beat, 30 minutes, 178 calories. I like the music and she does not talk through the workout. HR was 153/178. I followed with Lauren Upper Body with 1 dumbbell 23 minutes, 92 calories. Total time 53 minutes, 270 calories.

Debbie, gas pain can be very bad. I have done that and it hurt to walk. Maybe try a gas tablet to see if it helps. I have done that and it helps relieve some. I had that happen recently, and kept going over anything new I had eaten of supplements taken. I totally avoid sugar alcohols in my protein bars, powders, and other supplements. I can only tolerate a tiny bit. I use Ora Coat dry mouth lozenges at night and try to keep them as only 1 rather than two as suggested because of the Xylitol in them. I avoid beans. It took me a few days of weeding out the items that could be causing it. Also I found that a lot of Quercetin could cause it. It was Ultra Allergy capsules. I had to lower dose. If it keeps up often though you might get it checked out. I figured out how to relieve my issue.

Belinda, good that you did not do the injections before the wedding. My knee felt worse for several days. No one said rest it. I exercised so probably made it worse. I looked it up and read you should rest and not lift heavy things. I had also carried heavy groceries up the hill. The gel fills it and makes some pressure for a while.

Hi to the rest of you. Sorry I have to run and rinse hair color out of my hair.
 
Evening,

Today I did LMR UB modified and lighter weights.I didn’t do that would hurt my knees.

Debbie - thank you for the link. I will check it out. That is scary. I hope the pain will not come back. Sorry you went through it. Please take care of yourself.

Diane - my rheumatologist warmed me out the shot, that is why I waited after the wedding. He said, it can cause more inflammation after the shot. He wasn’t wrong. I modify mostly. My knees/ankles hurt so bad today, I did most UB sitting instead of standing. I did skipped a lot of exercises and did my own thing. I am wobbling today. Tomorrow I see the vascular surgeon, they will do an ultrasound of my cramping legs. I hope I can schedule the MRI as well tomorrow. I am already in the same area.

Good night.
 
This morning I did RAW Kettlebell & Kickboxing. What a fun workout, I really enjoyed it. I do think I did this one before because I remember she was having issues with the light smoking and she had to stop the video to fix the problem. I used a 10# kettlebell and 2# dumbbells for this workout. She also has a really good ab section at the end.

Workout was 38 minutes, burned 280 calories, did 1865 steps and HR was 127/176.

Diane - Great job getting some workouts in, I'm sure you are insanely busy right now. Moving can be such a stresser. Yes, that gas pain was incredibly painful, I'm still afraid it will come back. I'm trying to also wear looser fitting pants and I purchased a couple of mid length dresses (which I'm not much of a dress wearer) in order to keep my midsection from being constricted with stupid tight pants all day. I do take gas tablets occasionally but didn't that day. Oy, that was horrible!!

Belinda - Great job with your workout yesterday. I'm sorry your knees are hurting again, that sucks!!! I hope the shots help a bit.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi,

Today I did LMR Yoga fusion modified.

Debbie - I hope the gas pain will not come back. I think it’s a good idea wearing lose fitting dresses. I wasn’t a fan of dresses too. Now I love wearing dresses. I think like Diane mentioned it will take a while for the shot to work.

Good night.

Well, my mom is home finally. Brought her home this morning. She didn't seem right to me, she seemed very tired. Yesterday she was all happy and had all this energy and today not so much. I get it, she's 89 and will probably have good days and bad days, but I worry about her.

This morning I did RAW 4DS Bi's & Tri's and had a great workout. I then did the cardio add on - Heavy Bag Finisher. I haven't hit my bag in a log time, it felt great. I had a really great workout today.

Workout was 40 minutes, burned 227 calories, did 1056 steps and HR was 112/158.

Roxie - When she went to fix the light in that workout, I rewound it a bit and did the other side. I hate not having even sides work out. LOL!! Nice job on Pull!!

Belinda - Good job with your yoga fusion.

Have a great weekend everyone! So glad it's Friday!!
 
Did an upper body work out today

Went to watch my 3 year old grandson play soccer lol (herd ball) so much fun to watch then went swimming with him and his little brother who is 1 and my daughter because my cousin has a heated pool although it was 97 here today but it’s great for my knees

hope everyone’s having a great weekend
