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
Lynda, my daughter has a chocolate lab that is 2 months younger than Gertie and she is a bit more husky and her nose is a bit wider or something. Not a lot but a bit different facial features. Gertie is pretty slender and when she sprawls out on the floor she makes me think of a wet seal because her coat is kind of glossy. One of the differences in the other dog though is that she runs the 15 acres and even with that the vet told them she was getting fat. She has slimmed down a bit since they got the puppy to play with. Gertie lays her head on the arm of the chair or my lap and gazes at me. Sometimes it is for attention and petting. Sometimes it is closeness. If she is on the floor or I am on the floor she needs to touch me or put a paw on me. She divides her attention between me and my husband. It is really sweet. I had to laugh at the blarney bun burners and ball 5 times. That would be a mouth full. The ball roll ins was one of the things that was harder to do after my knee surgery for some reason. I never had a problem before and even now if my knee is a bit off the ball roll ins kind of hurt when trying to kee pit stable.
Josie, you have quite a plan for the workouts. I bet that you will enjoy the peanuts when they get there
I love a veggie pizza.
Judy, that's great that the cycling didn't bother this time. I am sorry to hear your husband is feeling bad and needs to go to emergency care.
My granddaughter 18 has been sick for several days. Tuesday she was vomiting all night and was so dizzy she could not walk. Her head hurt and she had vertigo. She said it started with her ears. It was so weird and they were trying to figure it out. Yesterday she was able to get up and move around a bit. Anyway my daughter called the doctor which is her best friends husband and he got her some medicine and gave instructions. He said he had 4 patients in two days with the same thing so it is probably a virus. She is hoping to be back to normal by Monday for school otherwise if she can go someone else will need to drive her. That Kelly Coffey move with supermans on the step hurts and I moveto the floor. I also don't like pull overs with the head on the step and feet on the floor holding the hips up. They do this on Hammer and Chisel and I just lie on the bench. It is too uncomfortable picking up a heavy dumbbell to do this.
Deb, nice work on the Kelly Coffey both workouts. She does do some different moves and I think not all of them are for everyone. I have put a couple of mats in my wish list at Amazon. My Nike yoga mat is pretty thin and is looking frayed. I got a black one from Beach Body with one of my workouts and I hate it when I am sweaty it slips and I was using it one day on my daughters tile doing abs and the pressure of my shoes rolled off part of the surface. I would like the mat to not be slippery and be a bit thicker.
