This week I am going to work mainly with the Ice workouts since I have two more coming later this week. I will do some other stuff as well. Today I did Ice Boot camp Circuit premix 6, main workout, blizzard blast, muscle meltdown biceps, and core #1, 83 minutes, 456 calories(calorie calculator using my hr average) I think fit bit mostly works for straight cardio workouts. It gave me some crazy calorie burn of 335. Map My Fitness linked t the Fit Bit gave me 551. I am always a bit ad of using the highest calorie burn. My max hr was 152. I then did Icy Core #2, 14 minutes, 52 calories which worked both with map my fitness and the calorie burn calculator. Fit bit gave me 29 calories which I am sure is incorrect. Total time was 97 minutes, and calories burned 508. Then again I look at workout manager and that mix is over 70 calories.
Biceps giant sets 12 reps each exercise 5 exercises 3 rounds
standing biceps curls 20,20,20 each hand
standing hammer curls 20, 20, 20 each hand
preacher curl on ball 15, 15, 15 each hand
incline curl on ball 15, 15, 15 each hand
concentration curl 17.5, 17.5, 17.5
I also added some weight to some of the core moves like I have done in other workouts. I used 8 and 10# dumbbells. Also 5# with the band work.
Doreen, I think that if you found the deluxe workouts from Hammer and Chisel you would like them. Cathe uses the med ball in the one Abs Circuit workout and also in the abs workouts that 3 workouts. I cannot remember which series. I always liked to do the tough core mix on that one and vary my med ball eights. Did you mention her bootcamp workout ? I am trying to think of all of them. It seems to me that part of the equipment that instructors use is more an advertising gimmick for some company and they probably get something for incorporating them into their workouts. Cathe's equipment used to be made by Altus which is an Oklahoma company. Academy Sports always carried that brand and I got a lot of the same equipment there. That includes the blue weight vest.
