Today I mixed up some mostly cardio workouts that are low impact. First I did Cathe's Low Impact Crush It Live, 33 minutes, 204 calories. I changed the moves from overhead on some moves with the weights and one move, I just did not use a weight that had you move forward and punch out with a dumbbell. I have done this one before but wanted low impact today. I then put Cathe Live Low Impact Cardio Strength with Step to try out. I did not do all of it but it was doable for most of it and I can see I can use the first part for a low impact cardio. I did 39 minutes of this one out of the 53 minutes total and watched enough to get the moves written down. I finished off with YOu Tube Fitness Blender Feel Good Stretch cool down. 15 minutes, 40 calories. This was a somewhat active stretch. Total time today including the stretch was 87 minutes and calories burned 504.
Low Impact Cardio Strength with Step live format:
6 minute warm up
step cardio with one riser on each side 17 minutes
break and raise step to 3 risers each side unless you want to stay with one
10# dumbbell step up and over repeating then up and over with an overhead press
then up with a side raise leg and upright row( no weight)
switch to 5 or 8 # dumbbell leg adduction with a front swing all on one side then switch sides(I did a bicep curl here)
5# lateral raise knee up all one side then switch sides (I used no weight here)
At 32 minutes mat - I dis some stepping and watched part of this.
Straight leg push ups, standing rear flies, repeat but push ups with an arm out, repeat but push ups with shoulder tap
lying triceps press, pull overs, overhead seated extension repeat
I started back here and did the biceps
bicep curl seated, hammer curl standing repeat I did 15# the first time but I felt it a bit in the shoulder so dropped to 10#
I did not do the core which was crunch, plank, and superman
I did the stretch but it was pretty brief
Doreen, I have not heard of that workout. You do find some different workouts. A nice metabolic burn to start the weekend
Belinda, Les Mills Plyo Hiit is a tough one. Nice workout. It is rare for me to sleep all night without waking up. Sleep disorders are hard to deal with.
Laura, wish you some positive sleep vibes. I am so sorry.

Today I did Cathe Live Buns, Barre, and Ball 49 minutes, 249 calories. I didn't expect the calorie burn to be that high but I think it is correct by perceived exertion. Anyway, it kept showing my HR from anywhere around 59 to 64. I even tried stopping Bluetooth and rinsing it and retrying. My resting HR is generally around 55. Maybe it was correct. I liked the workout. I got a good burn without weights I then wanted some cardio and put in Boxing and Leg Blasts live, and did quite a bit of it. I did the w/up and boxing that lasted till 33 minutes then started with weights work cardio blasts alternated with legs. I did the snowboard cardio with squats at 15's that is done twice stopped at the next cardio blast that was lateral hops with a tuck, I forwarded to find the stretch and ended up doing the final move of deadlifts with 15's (Cathe had a 15 and 12 in her hands) and did the stretch. This was 42 minutes and my HR was 117/147 so maybe the monitor was working? 265 calories. I finished off with a Fitness Blender compound cooldown stretch that was nice 7 minutes, 18 calories. Total workout time was 97 minutes and calories burned 532.
I discovered last night that all along both shoulders and lats up into the neck it was literally feeling sore when I would put pressure on it. I did some foam rolling and it made a huge difference. Later I was just surprised how much better it was. This morning it was fine when I got up. So, I am thinking mobility, stretching, and rolling may be the key to getting past this because the injury probably has made everything tight. I thought I would give the boxing a go today and limit weights to see how I do.
Talking about veggies, I made a recipe today post workout from my Whole 30 cookbook that was yummy. It was Brussels sprouts, butternut squash and onions pan roasted in olive oil with some sage, nutmeg, salt and pepper. I fried an egg in the skillet too and tossed it on top. They suggest to make it a meal you could add chicken to it .
Belinda, Slow and heavy is a good one.

This morning was a quick Ruthless - 19 Full Body Circuit. I forgot he does leg floor work in this; fire hydrants, pizza press, etc..... not forever like most floor workouts but enough to feel it. I hate floor work but after I had done one side I was committed!
My 10yo's birthday party was this afternoon. We went ice-skating. I think my arches and ankles will be screaming at me later! I'm hoping I can get another quick workout in later this evening. I'm feeling so short-cut on workouts these days! But work is at full tilt for the next month so I guess something is better than nothing.
Diane Sue- I've been really surprised in the past how much rolling a tight body part out really helps- almost instantly!
Belinda- What wonderful news for you and your daughter!!
Laura- best wishes for some sweet dreams!!

Doreen, happy birthday to your son. I would say skating is another wrkout. The seeming unending floor work is kind of boring but it is effective. You are doing good.
Belinda, another workout done? You seem to get a lot in. When I was younger I could put in 3 hours of working out and do daycare along with taking care of my family. I have slowed down considerably. I am 63 and sometimes wonder where I got that energy, nut I think it was probably not that healthy or necessary to work that hard. I would put 10 miles on the treadmill and still d o a step workout or weiggts.

Diane Sue - wow, you look amazing and young That is great you have so much energy. I have never worked out for 3 hours, lol. Lately I been wondering if it's healthy or necessary to workout over an hour? Maybe an 1.5 hour is too much? I wear a Fitbit, I don't stop until I have all my steps, lol. I know once the weather gets warmer my workouts are getting shorter too. I always will walk my dogs and aim for 10000 steps a day.

Hi girls,
Hope you having a great Sunday. Today I did Jillian Michael Yoga Meltdown Level 1. I can't remember the last time I did that dvd, must been years. The workout reminded me of 21 Day Fix yoga. Not bad for 35 min. Jillian was very calm in that one
Have a great Sunday, everyone. That's it for me today. I will relax the rest of the day.

Good morning,
Today I did Turbo Fire 45 EZ Class + TF Stretch 10 Class = 55 min.
Diane Sue - I had JM Yoga Meltdown for years. I think I only done it once? Back them, I wasn't into yoga. I couldn't even hold myself up with down dog, LOL! I guess, practice makes perfect. I really like the looks of Cathe Live. Fantastic job, girl!
Waving Hi to everyone that checks in after me.
Have a wonderful day, everyone

Today I did Cathe live Rock it Sock It, 53 minutes, 380 calories. Ripped With Hiit Abs 1, 10 minute Ab Chisel, 11 minutes, and Turbo Fire 10 minute abs and 10 minute stretch, 45 minutes, 171 calories. Total time was 1 hr 40 minutes again and 551 calories. I also threw in some foam rolling and shoulder stretches while loading workouts. I think more than half of Rock it Sock it is boxing and upper focused. The shoulder and neck are a lot better and I have not had to take anything for it the last two days
Belinda, Turbo Fire Fire 45 EZ never seemed like an easy workout I always thought the 55 Ez was easier. Funny I did a bit of Turbo Fire this morning but it was abs and stretch.
