Hardcore Hottie Maniacs - for Saturday April 12

Morning Maniacs -

I decided to do a bit of cardio on my rest day...since I did that stupid Amy Bento the other day and didn't have a very good workout. I only did 20 minutes of intervals on the Rebounder - Abs Diet cardio listening to Papa Roach Paramour Sessions. Then I threw in the CIA workout Tap Less - Step More (which is really complicated footwork...so I've been avoiding it). Workout was 46" and I burned 390 calories.

I also did Yoga to the Rescue for Back Pain. This was not a flow like workout and it had a LOT of back strenghting poses and backbends....so not sure I liked it much.

Good news........Tracey's shipping her 2 new DVDs this week for those that preordered (you know I did). She had a long post on her Forum the other day on how different these are gonna be. The one has a foam roller stretch at the end!! They are filmed in her new studio and they are supposed to be good.

On other new workout fronts....Mindy Mylrea has some new workouts going on preorder April 15. A med ball one and some Gliding. I'll probably order a Gliding one and maybe the med ball. Her details are vague right now. I like her cardio cuz it's easy to follow and she's intense.....oh and she has 2 cylce workouts coming....yay!!!

Deb - Have you ever heard the song "Save My Wicked Soul" by Another Dark Day? (i think that's the band....mind just went blank). Did you see my PM? Is it okay for me to send the money like I want to?

Have a great Saturday everyone.
 
This is Week 3 of the rotation I've been doing. This day was definitely a puke status workout. OMG, I loved it! This rotation is definitely a keeper.

1 minute rest between each set (which made it worse!)

That is all....

Lora - I'll check my pm's. I'll also check out that song. Never heard of it.

Linda & Sandy - You both will love rotation when you are ready for it! Let me know!

Sandy - I'm sorry, I didn't see your post from Thursday. I thought you were doing the 8 week rotation I sent you? Anyways, I suppose you could do S&H for two weeks and then switch it up to total body. I don't see a problem with that.

Diane Sue - Thanks for saying my weights were good with my leg day. I didn't think they were. :)
 
Debbie, I would like a copy of that rotation also. I will do it when I get back from vacation.

Thanks!
 
Yesterday was my rest day - so today I tried to hit it hard!

sumo dead lift
50# Barbell 4 / 12

front squat
50# Barbell 4/12

step ups
25# Dumbbells 4/10
My heart rate really elevated on this

side squat
50# barbell 4/12
My back was getting fatigued on this one. I am not sure I am doing correctly.

static lunges
50# Barbell - 4/12

Then I decided to try the push up routine again and see if I would perform better not having such a fatigued upper body and it was better!

uneven push ups
10 each side
front and lat raise pusch up
5 each side (these are hard)
pop push ups
by this time I could only 10 total

Workout was about an hour. I have ordered a new heart rate monitor that will calculate calorie burn. Can't wait to get it!

Have a great weekend all - the weather is beautiful here. I want to go get some flowers to plant on the front porch.
 
Deb - I've been meaning to ask you .....what type of body shape do you have that you lift that heavy on your legs and don't bulk? Are you naturally an Apple that carries your weight higher up or what tendency is your body genetically ........if you were to "let yourself go"? I just can't see a person that is a Pear like me lift that heavy on my legs. I know Toasty has thin legs and complains frequently about fat on her upper back (I don't know where)....so I assume she can lift that heavy cuz she's a genetically predisposed apple.

Tracey's website is www.fitbytracey.com and mindy's is www.Fitflixs.com

happy surfin'........Tracey's new series looks very exciting and I'm also excited about Gliding and Cycling workouts.
 
Hey Maniacs!!!

Getting ready to do my chest/back work and abs. So I will report later if I can get on computer. lol. Just stopped by nursery today and got most of my plants...veggies for garden, hanging plants and some petunia's for pots and then I have to go back for the rest of flowers for my flower bed cuz the lady did not have the zinnia's in yet, and I HAVE to have zinnia's!!!!!! lol
Got me some barbeque chicken from down the road from church people and had that for lunch. YUM!

Later~

I thought I would do a quick check in. It has been busy around here today and I still have things to get done. Guests arrive at 4. This morning I did Amy Bento's Hi/Lo Knockout stopping at the core and did the Knockout premix skipping the w/up. This gave me the KO's and the final combo 3&4 with KO's also the abs(I used 10# dumbbells for those) I then did Butts and Guts Core ( I used 5# ankle weights, 8 and 10" dumbbells and for the planks I wore a 20#vest, then I did Tracey's Parts dvd yoga segment. Back to work:) I will check back tonight. I put on a kettle of spicey black beans and made a veggie tray so I don't eat so much junk:)

Hello!

Lora - I'm still checking out everything. I have my grandson today he's keeping me busy, but a good busy! I'm gonna check out the other web sites too for the dvd's. Looks like you had a great workout!

Debbie - Yes I was doing the 8 week rotation, but felt like I could shock my body a little by doing Slow and Heavy for a couple of weeks! I'm going back on your rotation then. I would love a copy of what you're doing now, it's looks really good! I've got to add cardio in and I would love to have an eliptical, but can't do that right now. I'm gonna check out some videos that Lora spoke about too.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm gonna do kickbox today for cardio!
 
Afternoon maniacs,

Have some good DOMS going so didn't feel like doing anything so I did the original Bootcamp cardio only premix twice! Work out was about 35 minutes and a lot harder than I thought it would be.

Debbie - looking forward to the challenge. Not sure how you did pullups after all that chest work.
