Morning Ladies -

Today was Kick Punch & Crunch and I did 1 segment of StretchMax also. I'm having the usual yogurt and cereal for breakfast and lunch will be salad with cheese with fruit and pretzels for snacks. I had a "bad eating" weekend and pigged out a bit due to PMS, etc. I always get a little out of control for a couple days when I first start. I hate that!

Have great workouts everyone.
 
You & me both !!!(with the pigging out due to PMS)
Last night I actually sat down with Hershey Kisses and I never do that!!! That wasn't enough chocolate apparently because then I fixed a hot chocolate with marshmallows, and it was warm here in Ohio yesterday........80 degrees! But needed that chocolate!
Today I will do GS Back, Shoulder & Biceps, and cut our grass (takes about an hour with the push mower), and TRY , TRY, TRY to eat better! Planning on yogurt before working out, then maybe a protein smoothie after. Salad with grilled chicken and fat free red wine vinegar dressing (my currant fav!) and fruit for lunch.
Just know you weren't alone this weekend!!
 
Hi Ladies,

Yesterday I did a run and Push Pull. I needed a change from the Hardcores yesterday. I think I will do Kickmax tonight.

Have a great day!

Good Morning,

A beautiful Monday to everyone, I just love this sunshine! ( With apologies to everyone in Denver )..

Today was CW, I just couldn't bring myself to do HSC today, I am feeling kind of tired, PMSing and all. Still, what a fun workout that is!

Have a great day all.
 
Good Morning,

Still getting over a cold. I took it easy this weekend and just chased my 4 & 10 year olds around the yard in a game of tag.
I did GS legs floor work and calf raises (trying to improve the sape of my calves)and session 2 of coremax.

Have a great sunny day!

Hi everyone,
I was away for the weekend but...
Friday I did PS Legs and Abs.

Saturday was off.

Sunday I went for a 35 minute run. I'm not sure how far it was though. My quads really hurt today. I am so sold on the whole cross training theory now. I can do MIC and BM and feel no muscle soreness, but after a half hour run I'm sore.

I slept in today (late night yesterday), I'm hoping to do GS C&T tonight (at least the Timesaver). I still unpacking and grocery shopping to do tonight.

I did Biceps, back and shoulders yesterday and today I have extreme pain in my traps and sides of my neck. Does everyone attribute this to the band? I watched my form. I don't know if this is a good sore or bad sore....being that I have neck and shoulder problems. I also did the pullovers with heavier weight than usual....could this have caused the pain?
 
Good afternoon,
Todays workouts were I Max 3, Gym Style Chest & Triceps done entirely with the Bowflex, Abs, with the Bowflex & Muscle Max abs & Stretch.

Lora, I too have issues with my neck & shoulders. For me it seems to be the band. This is the only exercise that is different for me. I have raised the weights on other workouts with the pull overs and not had a problem. I do heavier than Cathe for these. It still seems like it could affect the shoulder area some as Cathe says it works the rotator cuff.

Have a great day.

Hi Ladies, I did GS back today.Had a bad weekend too ,all that half off easter candy my hubby bought x( x( except for me I just ovulated,thats when its tuff for me !!!!!x( Really staying focused today !!!):) :) I wonder if its the Moon LOL:eek: :eek:
 
The full Moon isn't till the 25th, but I know Mercury just went retrograde.........if that matters to your sun sign at all.
 
Hi Everybody!

I've started Week #2 of the HC Strength rotation. Today was GS Back, Shoulders & Biceps. I'm beginning to see some vascularity in my arms -- very motivating for those of us who don't mind that "look" when we're pumping iron! I feel the duration between the core workouts is too long for me so I also did the Coremax "Tough" 18 min. premix. I'm still getting used to the stability ball but did better today than on Friday. I have an umbilical hernia which was aggravated a little by "planks" so I've got to be careful. It's more of a "cosmetic" flaw...I believe the risk of serious injury would be greater if I opted for a surgical repair of the hernia (not to mention the inherent risk of surgeries).

My diet was very good today...good thing because I indulged in some "white flour" carbs this weekend! Not necessarily a "bad" thing with strength training but I like to keep myself in "check".

Hope you all have a peaceful night.

~ Kim

HI Ladies,

It was the Viper for me, I needed to burn some calories after a day of very bad eating at a baby shower. Back to clean eating today.

It was a beautiful day here in Maryland!
 
Hi everyone!

Looks like I'm west coast evening last:7 :7.

Rainy spring in Oregon, after an extremely warm and sunny late winter...

I did IMAX extreme today, doing 8" for the C&W parts and 6" for the IMAX 2 parts. I also extend the C&W cardio by doing an extra set each side while the crew is doing the compound weight exercises, because I did not want to lift at all today.

I did all the air jacks in interval 5, all the tuck jumps of interval 7 and all the plie jacks in interval 9--a first for me--it must be a Hardcore thang:p

Ugh, but my weight is still plateaued after a good start with the Hardcore series.

take care
Maggie
