I did get part of a workout in this morning while the team was warming up. The soccer complex has a bike/walking trail that I followed for a while and then found a playground with some cushy surface and I did 30 minutes of Peak Fit Anytime Anywhere workout.

This morning was cardio. I did Cathe Live Ready Set Step, 45 minutes, heart rate 133 average, 159 max, met 5.9, 293 calories, 4,431 steps. I then did Cathe Live time saver Step Grooves, 35 minutes, 225 calories, heart rate average 125, max 149, 3255 steps. Total time was 80 minutes, 520 calories. I need to head to the bank. I want to get back so that I am here when they deliver our reel lawn mower. They have quit bringing packages up by the door as much and leaving them set by the gate. That may not be UPS though. Probably USPS. Fed Ex is the worst. I have had them throw them down outside the gate or heard packages that were tossed over the gate hit the pavement. I purposely keep Gertie inside when I know packages are coming so that is not the issue. We had a nice time last night with my daughter and her children celebrating her birthday. We are having a family celebration on Sunday. I need to go pick up some things.

Doreen, I sometimes feel unmotivated for a workout series I start. You got in a good workout. I like workouts like Les Mills Pump where they use the weight plates that are open like handles. It adds something a bit different.
 
Hey everyone,

I am still in DC. I mention last week that my nephew from Germany came to visit. We are showing him DC. He never seen DC in the summer only in the winter. We will stay in DC until Friday, than we will all drive to WV. He likes outdoors and wants to do some hiking and see some black bears. Maybe we drive up for a day or 2 to NY? Besides walking I haven't done anything else. Hopefully I will get a workout Friday. Today we will go to the zoo. Tomorrow he wants to see the National Aquarium.

Keep up the good work. I will be back in a few day's.
 
Belinda- sounds like fun with your nephew!

I signed up for another month of CoffeeFit Raw (before she raises the price back). This morning I did Compound moves - very good, metabolic workout. She and Sammy only use 10#s. I started with 10#, switched to 15# and then back to 10# If I do it again I'll know better when to use the 15#s but I still got a good workout. Then I finished with Raw Just Step for 22 minutes to get some steps in. Love that step workout. Easy to follow straight forward athletic step!!

Debbie, I didn't realize at first that I had to reset the Map My Fitness app to not log the stuff for me. When it does that Fit Bit adjusts what they got. Usually if I enter a different calorie burn for the same exercise and use the exact time given by Fit Bit, I get the change to where I think that it should be. The burn is only counted once when I put it in MFP myself with Fitbit time. Once in awhile Fit Bit will be higher when it comes to more intense cardio. I just like my numbers more accurate. Good for you doing the challenge.
 
Belinda, it sounds like you are enjoying your time with your nephew. He is getting to see a lot :)

Doreen, I liked that Kelly workout and I love the Step only workout. I have done it many times. I think she said she filmed another yesterday? I am probably going to drop Cathe live soon and just keep Coffey Fit Raw for awhile. I will think about it anyway, but I am missing some of the dvds and Kelly's new ones will come along soon.
 
This morning I did Cardio Weight Tabata Intervals. I loved this one. It starts with barbell lifts alternated with low impact cardio on a tabata timer. Then she moves to some floor work with pushup, abs, bridges, etc. Very good workout!

Did you see she posted clips of the 2 new workouts? They look like they will be fun!

Today was cardio. I did Cathe Live Jabs and Kicks, 55 minutes, average heart rate 137, max 166, 354 calories, met 5.9, 4,736 steps. I then did Kelly Coffey Lean Body Circuits boxing premix 20 minutes, heart rate average 143, max 171, met 6.1, 135 calories, 1,768 steps. I finished off with a Jessica Smith Youtube stretch 18 minutes, 30 calories. Total time was 93 minutes, 519 calories. I used 1# gloves for jabs and abs and my boxing gloves for the heavy bag tabatas. I wore 1.5# gloves for Lean Body Circuits boxing. This was 6,504 steps for the two cardio workouts.

Doreen, I loved that workout. I have done all of them except the run with me, as I do not have a treadmill. Just a tread climber and spin bike. I saw she filmed tow more. Her new workout clips look good and lots of good sounding premixes.
 
Good morning,

Yesterday we walked/hiked at Great Falls. It was so HOT. The heat is killing me the last few day, especially walking around at 100's.

Today I will try to get a workout in.

Diane Sue - we having a lot of fun with my nephew. I been to all those places in DC. My kids live in DC for over 8 years. There is always so much to see and do in DC. BBL to report my workout.

This morning I did RAW Weights tabata. Wow! That was tougher than I expected. Kelly is so good at putting together time efficient workouts. I used 30# as my heavy weights for rows, bench, squats, deadlifts, 15# as by curls and 10# for shoulders and tris. I then followed with Raw Intervals #3 and did 15 mintues of it before running out of time. That was a perfect add on because she starts that without a warm up and it worked the same muscles as I just finished with the Weights tabata!
 
Today I did Cathe Live Total Body Giant Sets #2, 62 minutes, (58 actual), met 4.2, 287 calories, heart rate average 106, max 145, 1,284 steps. I did write everything down before I did it, but I still had to stop and make a couple of changes in my notes. Cathe sometimes lists an order of the names of the workouts and then when they are done, they are not quite in the same order or the count is off, which is understandable when you are doing something live. I then did Coffey Fit Raw Just Step, 24 minutes, 172 calories, met 6.5, 2,220 steps, heart rate average 155, max 188. Total time was 86 minutes, calories burned 459. I really wanted to go to Sprouts so I could start on some things for Sunday's family birthday dinner. It has been raining almost non-stop. Our sun room decided to leak the last two days, so that is a real hassle. It was fine at first. I am ready for it to stop. My Spark is little, I won't go out when there are flooded roads. It is just not worth it. Hopefully it is gone when I pick up my grandchildren from school Monday.

Doreen, nice workout choices. Yes, Kelly does have some very good time efficient workouts that do not leaving you feel like you were not worked hard enough. I have noticed a couple of the workouts where she did not do a warm up. I remember her on one of the earlier ones suggesting you might want to do a warm up first. I think she said something about having just finished a run before one of them. She mentioned that when she posted that she was getting ready to film the Intervals 4 workout.

Good workout Diane Sue- Giant Sets live looks like a winner.

This morning I did Kettlebell and Kickbox Raw. This is where she had trouble with her lights. Next time I'll remember to rewind and do the other side of the boxing combo when she stops the filming to fix her light. She said it was supposed to be a less intense workout but I used a 50# kb for the swings and a 20# for the other moves and I felt it was really challenging. I love her workouts where she combines these two.

Then I followed with Intervals #2. A good workout but I didn't feel it was all that intense. I probably won't return to that one.
 
This morning I did Cathe Live Move It, 37 minutes, heart rate average 140, max 164, 239 calories, 3025 steps. I then did Cathe Live Crush It Low Impact, 34 minutes, heart rate average 130, max 159, 232 calories, 2613 steps. I finished off with Coffey Fit Raw Stretch, 28 minutes, 60 calories, 72 steps. Total time was 99 minutes, 531 calories. I see Kelly put up her band workout on her raw channel. It looks like she uses the stability ball and tubing. I will have to preview it. It wasn't up when I started my workout, I checked before starting.

Doreen, I think that is the one I have used 20 and 25# kettlebells for. My heaviest kettlebell is 35#. I like the way Kelly works kettlebells into her workouts.
