Hardcore Rotation Checkin for Friday Jan 13

[lorajc]

Morning Ladies -

Happy Friday the 13th to everyone! This morning I did TLT Endurance for Movement. I liked this one the least because it had so much I couldn't do. I had to modify quite a bit and it took away from the workout. They do a lot of plank work and a lot of pushups sliding the paperplate with your hands and then mountain climbers in plank position sliding the paperplates with your feet. I'm not allowed to do any of that. It was hard to find modifications to fit. I tried doing the pushups on the wall and sliding my hand out and then I did some chest flyes. I ran in place when they did the mountain climbers. (I also feel stupid that I have to do pushups on the wall because of my injury cuz I've seen people on exercise forums make fun of pushups on the wall - that's the way they teach you in Physical Therapy and for injured people - it's not that I can't do them on the floor....but when I do, I get severe spasms in my upper back).

I'm a bit bummed cuz I went over everything I'm currently not doing (in my exercise program) with the doctor the other day when I was there for my neck/shoulder and she said I'll probably never be able to do pushups again or lift my arms higher than shoulder heigth due to my injury. She suggested I use Nautilus equipment. She said that free weights are hard on people with injuries like me. Also, I'm going to get a set of Trigger Point blocks/injections for my neck and shoulders at my next appt. She said I have quite a few severe trigger points.

Have great workouts everyone and I'll try to check back later, although it's Pay Day (hectic in my dept) at work and I'll be busy all day.

Hello Eveyrone,
Today I am not sure what I am going to do?? One of my TLT's if I get a chance. I am going to check on my ds here in a few minutes to *see* if he still has a temp. Last evening at around 5 pm it spiked up to 104. So I am going to go ahead and call his Dr., and update today. If she wants to see him that might be all day thing???

Lora I did the edurance dvd on Wed, and it was hard. I ended up gettin out my carpet sliders and using them is lo of the plates. Worked so much better. I am not sure which one I liked the best yet, but I really liked Gens. I really liked those squats and the squat turns.

Susan and Dalllas how are you liking your Tlt's? I have only gone through them once each, but from what everyone says they get harder the more you do them.


Hey Susan thanks for the advise I did take yesterday off, and I may today to Hey and you ARE NOT a complainer!! I love hearing what you always have to say!! You make me laugh with some of the of the things you come up with. Hope your biceps got a good workout last night POPEYE ha ha.

Dallas thanks for the hug!! My my ds name is Colby. I always like to tell him he is my little cheese.:7 Keeping baby Glenn in my thoughts and prayers. I know your poor sister is going crazy!!

Terri how do you like doing SS's with the joilies?? Are you going to get those shoes Lora got???

Marietta you really get a lot of use out of your treadmill. You have me wanting to get one. If only I could find a place for it

Diane Sue. I LOVE BIRK's!! Matter a fact last X-mas I bought myself 4 pairs when I was in Chicago. My sister has a place that has everything. I cannot go barefoot. I wear birks while I am working around the house etc.....

Sabrina how's it going?? Hope you are getting all organized My 30 days to a simplier life has gone to the road side :7

Well gotta go,

~Nicole

Morning ladies!

Lora-That TLT workout sounds tough. Don't think about the things you can't do, think about the things you can do!!

Nicole-I hope your son is feeling better today and the temp is going down. I hate it when the boys are sick. I feel so bad for them. I am all up in the air with getting things organized, especially with work.

I need to find a workout for today but I am not sure what I want to do. I went for a walk last night. It is raining here today and it looks like it will be raining all day. ICK!

I will be back later! Have a great day!

Hi Dallas, Diane Sue, Marietta, Susan, and Terri!!

TGIF Ladies!

Lora-I agree with Sabrina that you do a lot and more then some peope without injuries and you should be proud. As you know I was injured in a car accident a couple years ago. I don't have too many physical injuries left from it but I remember the year+ that I did and you do a heck of a lot more exercise then I ever did. I was a baby and sat around feeling sorry for myself. You continue to workout and are a inspiration to all of us!

Nicole-I love the jollie weights and I enjoy using them with SS. I think I am going to order the shoes Lora has. I had that brand before and liked them. I love the colors in the pair lora bought! Very cute I hope your liile guy feels better today. Let us know.

Diane Sue-In the pair of Saucony's I had before there was plenty of toe room. My toes will go numb as well if there is not enough room. Not sure why they do though.

Sabrina-Did you show the condos yesterday? I hope you get your first client soon.

Dallas-Is your nephew coming home this weekend? I thought you said he might be. I am so happy he is better and they fixed his problem and will be a much happier pain free baby!

Susan-Yes I think we all are so excited for you to have the baby! I love hearing all the details etc. I went to one of my clients the other day to se her new baby and OMG she was so adorable! Made me ALMOST wish my son was that age again

HEy Marietta-What do you have planned for the weekend?

My son will find out today if he has the job. Turns out yesterday when he went to meet the team that the job is down to him and one other guy. He called me last night and invited me to come down to where he lives for the night and stay at his gf's. He lives a little over an hour from me in Colorado Springs. I am going down this afternoon and I am looking forward to a change of scenery! We will all go do some fun stuff tonight and maybe a movie dinner etc. I will ocme back home tomorrow afternoon sometime. SO very sweet of him and his Ashley to have me down. My son said he thought the break from my work phones etc would do me good after my recent stress and I have never seen his gf's house that I hear is decorated Beautifully!

Ok I am off to do payroll then workout with a tear it up and a run. I will check back later. Oh sorry I wrote a book!

Morning Everyone!

I'm glad it's Friday and glad it's a three day weekend with the kids!! I don't know why, but I completely overslept today!x( No time for even abs before the kids had to get up. :-( Now i have guys installing the bar cabinets in the basement. So, whenever they leave I'll be jumping on the treadmill. I'll do Cathe's Advanced treadmill run that Marietta posted yesterday. That's probably all I'll get in today. :-( Oh well.

My nephew will be getting coming off the breathing machine! :7

Lora ~ I agree, you do a lot! Just think how creative you have become. You always find ways to modify.

Terri ~ Have fun at you son and gf's house this weekend! Will you use your new shoes for Cathe cardio? Let me know how they compare to your Ryka's. I'll be needing new shoes soon! ;-)

Nicole ~ I'll keep your ds in my thoughts and prayers. He's been through so much. :-(

Marietta ~ What do you have planned this weekend? How did you dance session go?

Susan ~ How are you feeling today? Are you off today?

Diane Sue ~ Are you feeling better today? Hope your grandkids are better too. I couldn't get through with the school today..that's not a good sign!

Sabrina ~ How did the showing go?

My ds6 starts ice hockey tonight. I don't even know if I can watch! He's so excited.

Have a great weekend....just in case I don't get back here. I'm off today because of missing my workout this AM.

Hi everyone,

I just got back from having my last Ultrasound. The baby is estimated to weigh 5lb.1oz. right now.

Yesterday was supposed to be just LowMax, so, I skipped yesterday working out altogether. The right side of my pelvis REALLY hurts and I can hardly put any pressure on it.
Today is Biceps and IMAX2. I will do biceps, but NOT IMAX2.

Lora, can you do push ups on a stability ball? That would add more of a challenge than against the wall, but not quite as tough on your joints as doing them on the floor. I agree with everyone else saying you do A LOT for someone who has injuries. btw, I dont do the stretches I mentioned yesterday. I am familiar with muscles, and know exactly what you are referring. Here is a link that pictures a couple of stretches:

Dallas, Ice Hockey! THAT will be fun to watch! Little six year olds skating around.... too cute. Have a great run today!

Nicole, I think I'll really like the TLT's. They are good "add ons" or "rest day" workouts I think. My BBBB was scratched so I'm exchanging it. They put the replacement DVD out by UPS the day BEFORE she emailed me the UPS return label!

Terri, have a great evening with Ashley and your son. It will be a nice break.

Sabrina, did you show the condos? Have you been able to start up your exercise routine yet?

Diane Sue, sounds like you have difficulty finding sneakers you really like. I do too. I have very small feet and have to wear children’s sneakers.

Hi Marietta, you're probably out for a run right about now.;-)

Good afternoon
Today I did iFIT Redrock treadmill workout plus added on to 4.75 miles,GS BSB,CM #3 str. I didn't increase the intensity on the treadmill like I usually do. Still feeling a little weak and fatigued.

Susan, I hope you can get some relief from your discomfort. The baby will be here soon. My oder daughter was 5#4 oz when she was born. So tiny. My niece called this week to tell me she was pregnant finally. They have been to doctors and had procedures tried for the last 5 years. I pray everything goes well for them. Around August we will have another baby to cuddle Yes I do have difficulty with shoes fitting. I have quite a few pair of fitness shoes. Right now I am pretty much wearing my RYKA's They hug my heals well but I wish there was a tiny bit more toe room.

Nicole, I recently discovered Birkenstocks and have bought several pair of them. I have one pair I want, but am waiting for them to e mail me from Zappos.com with my size and color. These are the first shoes I could wear all day without wanting to kick them off at the first opportunity. I hope your son gets better soon and you don't have to go through what you did last time.

Terri Thanks for the info on the shoes. I had read reviews on them and they seemed to contradict each other on fit. I think most said they were roomy. I have had numbness in both feet for quite some time but my right is the worst. This is the first time I had a doctor say anything about it.

Dallas, how is your nephew? I hope he is recovering. He is my prayers.

Hi Sabrina, Marietta, & Lora
Have a great day
