Morning ladies,
Sorry I've been lacking in posts lately. I don't know what my deal is - just been preoccupied with other things.
This morning was day 17 - Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. The ab work is really good but it's HARD so I don't feel like I do as many exercises as I need to do to feel it. Have to think about that... Eats are still good but I'm thinking that I'm too carb heavy. Going to try to work on that.
Becky, I hope you're enjoying your time with your family. I'm sorry your tooth is still bothering you. That doesn't seem right to me. Did you check with your dentist? I'd love to hear your thoughts about CLX... I'm tempted. I love Chalene and would love to do a 90 day rotation with her. I can't afford/don't have equip for STS and won't until we move back to the states so I'd like to try something like this. Maybe I can put it on my Christmas/Birthday list. Oh, and thanks for the sweet words about my girls.
Katie, so Insanity descriptions. The three major workouts we're doing now are:
Plyometric Cardio Circuit - This one has 2 sets of 4 exercises that are repeated 3 times (for a total of 6 rounds). Each exercise is 30-40 seconds long so you're going full speed for 2-2.5 minutes and then a 30 second water break. Examples of the exercises are suicide drills, frog jumps, level one drills (down for 4 push ups/run in and out for 8), basketball hops, ski abs, etc.
Pure Cardio - This one does about 15 minutes straight of pure cardio, each exercise 1 minute, no breaks. I almost like it better because there are no repeat exercises and it just goes by quickly, but then there is the ab workout right after it and that one is tough - lots of "c-sit" positions.
Cardio Power & Resistance - This one is pretty similar to the circuit with a few resistance training (dips, push ups, etc) thrown in.
These workouts are about 35-40 minutes, the 2nd month they move up to 60 minutes. Honestly what I find strangest is that my cardio energy can be full speed but I have a hard time making my muscles do what I want them to!
Does this help? How is Collin? Is he feeling better? Did you resched your PT appt? (HAPPY FRIDAY!!!)
Kate, sometimes new teachers are good. Gina will do well, you know she's a good student. I'm praying for a peaceful transition for you and a burst of confidence for Gina! What kind of retreat is it that you're going to? I miss community stuff like that!
Klaudia, is Nevena going to a district or private preschool? Is she excited? How was the shopping? Your weekend sounds so great!
Robin, why did you delete your STS tracker? Are you still going to do it? How are your kids back in school? Good luck with FD this weekend! I did see that story on FB about the guy slapping the little kid in the store... oh geez. I don't know what I (more seriously Ryan) would have done in that situation.
Nina, we all have our slumps! The last two days have been really hard for me. I really DID not want to get out of bed this morning but I was so glad I did. I hate dreading my WO all day! Sorry about the fight with DH. Sometimes I do that too and then totally regret it! Ugh, I hope today is a better day for you!
Lisa, I hope you're soundly sleeping by now. Great job with GS legs and B&G abs. Have a great day!
Hi to Anne, Colleen, and Steph!
Have a great Friday all! I'm sad that we're here in France over Labor Day weekend. We have no plans and I'm really feeling the need to be social!
Off to mop my floor before I have to pick up kids.
BBL.
