Hardcore Hotties Fitness Manics for 9/10

[Fitnessfreakk366]

Had a great workout this morning. Used weights that I never thought I'd see with my leg workouts. One was an accident but I was still able to do the weights I accidentally put on the bar.

1:30 minute rest between each exercise and set.

LEGS
Squats:
120# - 6/6 (up 5#)
110# - 10 (up 5#)
100# - 12/12 (up 5#)
***These felt really good. By the time I got to 100# I was surprised as to how light it felt. Low back is doing well with this exercise.

Leg Press Station:
220# - 6/6 (up 10#)
200# - 10 (up 10 #)
190# - 12/12 (up 10#)
***These felt good too. I'm progressing well with this exercise.

Static Lunges:
115# - 6/6 (up 15#)
110# - 10 (up up 15#)
100# - 12/12 (up 15#)
***This is where my error occurred. I thought I had 105# on the bar but when I went to lower it to 100# I realized I had 10 more # then I should have.

Leg Extensions:
100# - 12/12 (up 5#)

Hamstring Curls:
60# - 12/12 (up 2.5#)
***These burned.

CALVES
Leg Press Station Calf Raises:
220# - 15/15/15/15
***Toes forward, in, out and forward. These burned like hell.

ABS
Low Impact Circuit ab work
***Love this ab work.

That is all...

Morning Maniacs,

Okay here is the first Hurtin' Maniac checkin' in. Was up for over an hour last night with major tension in my neck from hauling crap out of my attic yesterday. This morning's workout was upper body and everything was a complete experiment trying to find what I could and could not do with the shoulder. I am disappointed to say that the shoulder is really messed up, but I was able to lower the weights and do things without any pain. So here it is and my motto for today was from Cathe..."It's all about how you spend your time under tension"

Superset A
DB Chest Press
6/6/6 - 30's **down 11#, had to lose the incline, but did these excruciatingly slow, Up 4 count, down for 8**
Rear Delt Flyes
10/10/10 - green band ***couldn't use weight and bend over, band was anchor around a pole and count was Out 2, Hold 2, Release 8***

Superset B
One Arm DB Row
6/6/6 - 52 **this stayed the same***
Floor Press
8/8/8 - 35's ***down 5#, count was Up 2, Hold 4, Lower 2 - chest was shaking like mad by the end***

Superset C
DB Tricep Extensions
8/8/8 - 20's ***dropped 1/2 #, because I struggle with the left arm and needed to make sure I controlled the elbow position for sake of the shoulder***
Incline DB Curls
8/8/8 - 23 1/2 ***stayed the same, DH said arms looked to bulky w/ this exercise***

Then cardio at 30/90 ratio for 6 rounds doing wind spirits out side. Really happy that the knee is doing so well!

Debbie - Awesome workout! Static lunges at 115#

Linda - What is a "floor press"? Good job at listening to your body. Hope that shoulder heals. Mine is feeling pretty good but tomorrows workout will test that.

Good Morning Maniacs!!!

Today is Chest/Triceps and I want to do more ab work..feeling jiggly there lately. I am also gonna take a fast walk for about 4 miles.

Debbie,

HAMMERTIME! Gosh...you are pulling off some mighty big numbers there. Very good job!!!!

Linda,

You too....working it this morning, girl!!! Very good!!!

 

[SheWolf]

Debbie - A Floor Press is just a chest press done while laying flat on the floor legs straight. I am assuming it's benefit is the limited range of motion?

Char - Thanks, go kick some butt on that workout!!

Great workouts everyone. Today is a rest day for me and I am so sleepy. It is cloudy and I want to go home and nap. Have a great day everyone.

My workout is done. Just having a mixture of 1/4 cup Kashi Go Lean with 1/4 cup plain fat free yogurt and 1/2 scoop protein powder. Then off to shower I did Amy Bento's Step ChallengeIII the whole thing and repeated the power ups because I wanted to see if it worked better with just the platform leaping over the bench(it did help), I then did the both abs segments using a 15# dumbbell instead of kettle bell for abs#1. I like the stretch on this one. It is nice and long and thorough. The entire workout burned 839 calories. 620 before I hit the abs. Then I did Amy's 10 minute solution tone trouble zones butt and thigh blaster with my blue heavy challenge pro band and finished with Gym Style legs calves with 25# db, and floorwork using the heavy blue band and a purple dynaband.
Total calories burned for lower body was 176. Total calories burned was 1015 and 60% fat. The highest my hr got was 157 and that was not very long.

Heather, welcome to the check in. I typed a long post yesterday and I lost it. I think that there is a lot of motivation here and you will get a lot of information to help you with your goals

Charlotte, are you feeling back to normal today??

 

[ashumate]

Diane Sue - how long was your total workout?

Diane Sue,

I was feeling back to normal yesterday, but my sleeping is still off and I didn't sleep much last night. Maybe I need to drink some milk and have some turkey before I go to bed tonight?

 

[SheWolf]

DianeSue - For the Powerups in ASC III are you saying you jumped just the platform without any risers? Or am I misunderstanding? I have yet to do the powerups in III, but I know the jumps over the step in ASC I scare me.

 

[toastythemosty67]

Just finished my walk of about 4 1/2 miles. Gonna eat lunch and then hit the weights. Will work abs first...Ab Ripper. tada~

Meals for today:

Low calorie day

M1: ON whey protein shake w/ 4 strawberries & 2 oz. banana (pre workout)
M2: Same as M1 (post workout)
M3: Banana Nut Bread BSN w/ 1/2 c. oats & 1 tbsp. ground flaxseed
M4: 1/2 can of tuna w/1 tbsp. light mayo on 1 slice Ezekiel bread; 2 tbsp. raw almonds; peach
M5: Zone Perfect Fruitified bar; Light yogurt
M6: Salmon; Sauteed veggies w/2 tsp. parm cheese
M7: 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites

1827 (goal was 1800)
53 g. fat - 26%
164 g. protein - 36% (goal is 201 g.)
181 g. carbs - 40%

I didn't even get close to my protein intake today which makes me mad. Low calorie days are so hard for me to figure out.

Nice workouts everyone!

I thought I posted a while ago but it must have went somewhere else or I lost it. Grandbaby got sick and I was jumping up to take care of her.

Linda, yes I just jumped the platform on the powerups. I think that helped. Once I get that maybe I can get over it with a riser under it

Ally, according to my HR monitor the workout was 2hr 56 min.. The hr monitor had me do a find my own zone this morning for 4 minutes before the workout started. I did the stretch on both Step Challenge 3 and on GS floorwork. I did have a break after the cardio portion to feed the baby. I know the case to Step ChallengeIII says 80 minutes. I am sure that does not include the 30 minutes of ab work or the power ups.

 

[toastythemosty67]

I did ab ripper x so far and now onto Chest/Triceps. Getting in a late workout. I forgot I had to take Ms. Pussycat and Tricky Nicky down to the Vets and then figure out dinner for my son as everyone else is away from home. So here I go.....

I will post stats tomorrow..maybe...it is a chest workout, afterall. LMAO!

I am doing Fitness Freaks leg blast rotation. What can I do in place of CTX upper body split?

 

[WD]

Roselyn, maybe you could do Muscle Max upper only or if you have Power Hour do it and skip the lower body segments.

I didn't get enough sleep last night and have been dragging all day, despite a couple little naps. I've also had several errands and subbed for a couple of my friend's classes, so although I wanted to do a longer yoga workout, I just did a twenty minute Sara Ivanhoe. Must do better with the workout tomorrow. Today was just not the day.
