Good morning,

STS M3 W3 D35 + JS WS3 D52 Pilates + Yoga + SBF D3 of the Restore & Release Int-Adv Total Barre all done. I am almost done with JS WS3 rotation.

I will be back later.
 
I think I forgot to post yesterday. I did Pull Day plus bonus abs. I had read the reviews about the wrist issue so I was ready for the abs workout and modified by putting 8# dumbells on my step with 3 risers and did the plank style work off of that set-up. It worked well for me but I bet I could just use the step top with the dumbells on top for more intensity without bothering my wrists. I liked the abs - I feel it today!

This morning I did Mixed Impact Cardio and then KCM Circuit Burn (which had just come in from interlibrary loan). I like MI Cardio though there is one blast with tuck jumps that I will need to modify. This morning I just did a squat pulse instead of a tuck jump but I could also use my mini-tramp for that blast. Overall- I like how it keeps moving and you recover from the blasts with a lower intensity move instead of just marching.

When I started Circuit Burn I realized I had done it before somewhere in my past!! I don't own it so I must have done it when I was signed up for the Pump One streaming. It was like weird de-ja-vu` trying to figure out "why and when have I done this before!!"

The rotations with XTrain and RWH and Fit Split look TOUGH!!

Good Job Belinda on WS3 rotation. There are a couple of those workouts I still need to try. Foundations, Yoga, Flow - they just have not appealed to me .
 
Today's workout was Fit Split Boxing Boot camp/ legs glutes, 58 minutes, 370 calories. I used map my fitness for the calories today as my Fit Bit seems way off today and the sleep stages is not working. It may be because this morning I shut down location service and my app would not work without it on. I am not sure it had my average heart rate at 113/ max 145 which I felt was low. Map My Fitness runs off my blue tooth and watch though. This brought the workout to a 5.8 met. The workout manager has 8.5 met and 544 calories. I am almost always at least two mets lower. I used some weights heavier than Cathe. Not a lot though, 15's instead of 12's, 12's instead of 10's. I finished off with Kelly's Body Design yoga segment, 14 minutes, 34 calories.

Doreen, nice idea for the wrists on Fit spit abs. I put the bar near the bottom of the Fit Tower and had it read if I felt I needed it. I have been sore both times I have done this and I see it is on schedule tomorrow with the pull workout again. I do not usually feel the ab workouts, but this one I feel.

Belinda, you are going to really enjoy your new toy :)
 
Belinda- Have fun with your new toy! Hope it helps to relieve some of your pain and is just plain fun.

This morning was Push Day but I got interrupted during the legs sets. Oh well. I find it interesting that these workouts are drop style sets of 10, 8 sometimes 6. I think the pacing and the superset format still makes it burn but keeps these workouts moving for the shortened time. I will say that I'm enjoying that shorter, condensed format of the weight lifting.

I followed Push day with Circuit Burn workout 2. This one I don't think I've done before. Again- I'm enjoying these workouts wondering why i didn't click with Kelly years ago. But I think a few years ago if a workout didn't completely kill me I thought it a waste of time!! Now I see these in a different light.

I have one more to pick up from the library today but I forget what I requested.... I guess it will be a fun surprise. Then I'll compare my notes and see if I want to buy any of them!
 
Hi everyone,

Today I did the 30 min beginner JumpSport dvd (cardio, strength training & core). It was pretty basic. I felt confident enough to tackle fit-split-mixed-impact-cardio-pull-day = 29 min on the JumpSport :) What a different it made on the JumpSport. Mine came with a handle and I am holding on to dear life :D I did had moments when I let go of the handle bar. I am afraid I bounce right out the door with that thing, lol. I also did JS D53 Cardio HiiT and SBF D4 Arm Target with No Planks = 13 min + Arms and Upper Body = 10 min.

Next week I will be done with Jessica Smith WS3 rotation. I will only do STS and SBF.

Doreen - good job this morning. Maybe I need to give KCM another try before I sell all my dvd's.

Diane Sue - good job on your workout yesterday. Sorry about your Fit Bit. I hate when mine messes up. Hope you got it figured out. I would go with the Workout Manager, lol. Those workouts are high impact.

Yesterday DH dropped of 7 bags full of clothes at the VA hospital. They need winter clothing for live in patients. The last few day's DH and I been cleaning out our closets. I have way to0 many clothes :( I had brand new Clarks shoes ( I both them to small and never returned them) Hopefully someone else can use them. I also will drop off books to our public library on Friday.

I will try to be back later. Have a great day.
 
Today's workout was Kelly Coffey Build and Burn Kettlebell Kickbox fusion, 27 minutes, heart rate 129 average, 161 max, 1,694 steps. I used a 15# kettlebell with 1# gloves. I then did my rotation workout, Fit Split Pull day, 40 minutes, 203 calories, heart rate 104 average, 133 max, 1045 steps, finishing off with Fit Split bonus abs, 13 minutes, 63 calories, heart rate average 110, max 135. Total time was 67 minutes, 376 calories.

Belinda, when I got my rebounder it came with the URX MT dvds and a bar but they did not use a bar due to on and off the rebounder work. I never used the bar. I tried it with Suzanne Bowen and it is not very stable for putting body weight on. I have used the Fit Tower with it for some of my bounce workouts and per someone elses advice, put weight plates on the base of the Fit Tower and that works. I love having the rebounder. I just looked over the mixed impact Fit Split again since that is on the agenda tomorrow and saw some places that I thought the rebounder would be a good choice.

Doreen, those Fit Split workouts do seem to get a real lot in in a short amount of time. I like the weight workouts. The Abs bonus seemed much easier this time. I was sweating though :) This was my third time through it.
 
Diane Sue - the handle bar that came with the JumpSport is very sturdy. I should try not to hold on that much, lol. Good tip on the weight plates on the Fit Tower. Today I did do some on the floor and on the JumpSport, worked out perfectly. I didn't see any new moves in that workout. I thought it was all new? Mmmm...

Nice weights today.
 
Maybe we just have so many instructors and so many dvds that there is not many moves that we have not done :)

Today was Fit Split Mixed Impact Cardio and I did the scrambled # 1 double cardio, 48 minutes, heart rate average 132, max 162, 4,597 steps, calories 337. I used between Map My Fitness and my calories burned calculator. Maybe I need to unpair and re pair the Fit Bit although I don't see where that will help. I shut it down this morning and charged it up. It just does not seem to be working well.
 
Good morning,

I am done with STS D30 + JS WS3 D55 Cardio Interval Sculpt and SBF D5 Pretzel Target for Upper Glutes = 8 min + Foldover Intermediate Target = 14 min.

Diane Sue - can you call a tech about your Fit Bit? I done that a few times and they really helped with the problem.

That's it for me today. Have a great Friday, everyone.
 
Hello! I woke up this morning with a really stiff back. Not quite sure what I did but now by the end of the day it already feels better so I must have just slept on it wrong! So this morning I just tried to keep it easy and just try to warm up and work out the stiffness. I did WS3 Barefoot cardio core which was perfect. Hoping tomorrow I'll pick up where I left off on the FitSplit rotation!
 
Belinda, I guess I could contact Fit Bit. They just did an update a few days ago and I wonder if that has something to do with it. I remember a SB Youtube of the pretzel target move. It is a good one.

Doreen, I am glad to hear that you are feeling better.
 
I am posting my workout and need to get a shower as my son is coming over and my husband is getting ready to put the shelves in the closet that I painted last night. I may need to stain more wood. Today I started with Amy Ross You Tube workout #5 rebounding, kickbox, bodyweight 20 minutes, heart rate average 135, max 170, 129 calories, 1,680 steps. I then did the Fit Split Push only workout on my rotation, 42 minutes(10 more than the actual time) 160 calories, 903 steps, heart rate average 101, max 145. I wanted a good stretch so did The Art Of Flow Yoga with Zuzana, 46 minutes, 102 calories. I skipped some of the ending meditation stiff. I can only lie there so long and listen to someone make suggestions that are supposed to be calming and sometimes seem weird. It is probably just a me thing. I love this workout though. I always feel good afterward. She gives a lot of instruction and different levels for the poses. Total time was 1 hour 48 minutes, 391 calories.
Weights
Bench Press 20# dbs x 10,8,8 reps superset with chest flys 15# dbs 10,8,8 reps
Knee tap push ups bodyweight 10,8 reps

Belinda, today there was another Fit Bit update. I am hoping that helps.

Doreen, I hope you were able to get back into your Fit Split rotation.
 
Hey guys,

Today's workouts: SBF D6 Lower Back - Back Body Target + JS WS3 D55 Barre Sculpt.

Diane Sue - hope your fit bit is working again after all those updates.

Doreen - hope your back is feeling better soon. Be careful!

Have a great weekend everyone.
 
Good morning,

JS WS3 D56 Deep Stretch + SBF D7 Stretch 6 is done. I also finished JS WS3 rotation.

That's it for me today. Have a great Sunday!

Today was a rest day. I had brunch at my daughter's and two of my younger grandchildren came home with me for a few hours. I got my new Kitchenaid Spiralizing and peeling attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer today. I had Amazon gift cards from Christmas and decided that that was what I wanted. I like using a spiralizer, but my Padermo hand turning one is a lot of work and does not work well for harder veggies like sweet potatoes. I also got a Whole 30 Fast and Easy Cookbook that looks really good. I made a Broccoli Beef stir fry last night from it and cooked up cauliflower rice.

Belinda, I bet the deep stretch felt good. I have been trying to fit more stretching back in. I have gotten lax on that.
 
Good morning,

STS M3 Week 3 D31 + SBF D8 Adv Barre Cardio Fire = 40 min is done.

Diane Sue - the deep stretch felt amazing. I really like WS3. Have fun iwht your kitchenmaid mixer. I have one of those hand held one, gave it to my son.

Doreen - where are you?

Have a great Monday, everyone.
 
Good Morning! Diane Sue- have fun with your Kitchen aid attachment! I got a Kitchen aid mixer for Christmas and I saw all the attachments that could be ordered!

Belinda- Good job finishing WS3.

This weekend I did LI Cardio and Metabolic conditioning. My back was still a bit stiff so I was very cautious and didn't feel like I good a good feel for it. Sunday I did nothing! This morning I did Shred Cardio. Except I had to keep pausing between blasts to help the guy that lives with us get showered and ready. Oh well. Then I did Fit Spit abs.

I did head to the thrift this weekend and found a couple pair of workout capris so that was fun.

I also decided that I like WS 3's weight workouts so much to buy WS2 - Metabolisim Booster. Jessica just does a great job of putting together circuit workouts that are short, fun and effective! And I love the purple player and how easy it is to get to the workouts from my Roku or on my phone. I'm really seriously considering not buying a DVD ever again
