STS BODYROCKERS MONTH OF MARCH

Hello again!;)

Sunday's workout ended up being another dvd that I've had forever, Jari Love's Ripped 1000. It was out of my league back then :eek:, completely doable now. :D I bought several of hers from Ross for around $5.00 each.
 
Good Morning. :)

I decided to nix my rest day y'day in favor of continuing my work outs until I leave for Vegas on Thursday since IDK how much, if anything, will get done while I'm away.

That being said, y'day I did the weights only premix of XT Cardio Leg Blast, the ankle weights section of BBL High and Tight and 3 sets each of 2 stability ball ab exercises at 15-20 reps per set.

Today will be cardio of some sort. Not sure what I'm in the mood for quite yet...

So the big boss comes back to work today which means the ball should start rolling on my move to the accounting dept! :D The only thing I am not a fan of is that my desk is sooo much smaller then the cubicle I was assigned to as a file clerk. I also hear it can get dreadfully hot over there. :( I may have to buy one of those personal cooling units that they sell in the hi-tech stores to keep me from melting!:eek: A good B'day present idea perhaps? ;)

Wiggie:: Great work outs (as usual!)!!!:D Oh the gym DID put a hurtin on me on Saturday but this time it was MENTAL not PHYSICAL!!!:eek: We were going over the sales end of it which scares the cr@p outta me! :eek: Did some role-playing and again, I was like a bumbling idiot! :eek::rolleyes: I basically need to practice this stuff every time I go there from now on until I'm more comfortable with it and I told the pt manager that. He's all for it. I have atleast 2 other people there that I can practice with besides him so that's good. I can't believe you hadn't done TBTS lower body until now! I love that work out! :D

Ok, time to get my sweat on!:p
I'll be back!:cool:
 
Back quickly to report my work out...

TBTS Back/Biceps/Core Premix omitting Biceps work followed by XT Cardio Leg Blast Cardio Only Premix. Good stuff! :)

BBL!:cool:
 
Hi girls!!

Sorry I wasn't around this weekend. It's been a crazy busy few days. Friday was my rest day, and after work I judged the High School Mock Trial Tournament. It was lots of fun!

Saturday morning I got up and went to Burn class at the warehouse/gym. The instructor set up 7 stations. 3 rounds, 1 minute at each station for a total of 24 minutes. Tough stuff! After that, we played a tennis ball game. Basically, the instructor has a bag full of tennis ball; an exercise is written on each tennis ball (crunches, jump squats, push-ups, etc.). A class participants starts at the far end of the warehouse, runs to other side, grabs a ball, throws it back to the instructor who yells out the exercise. Then the class does that exercise until the first participants runs back, tagging the next participant who runs for the next ball. The class keeps doing the first exericse until the instructor yells out the next exercise, so you are moving the whole time. I hope that makes sense, lol! Overall, I loved the class! After class I went to the Cincinnati Childrens' Museum with my sister and nephews. The drive alone is an hour and a half, so needless to say it was a long (but fun) day.

Yesterday I took it a little easier with Bob Harper's Yoga for the Warrior. I'm so glad Wendy convinced me to get that DVD. It might be my favorite yoga workout! I also went on a walk yesterday after lunch with DH, played outside with my MIL's dog, and practiced my markmanship a bit. Most of yesterday was spent cleaning, doing laundry, groceries, etc. The usual get-ready-for-work routine. :)

Wendy: Yay on the move to accounting!! You should get one of those hand-held fans that spritzes water every so often to stay cool. :) Are you excited about Vegas??? I'm excited for you! :) Way to rock your internship interview!! I'm sure getting another perspective will be super helpful. Oohhh I love this morning's mish-mosh. You are the mish-mosh queen! :p;) I'm sure you'll get the hang of the sales end of things soon. You're such a smartie, a few more practice sessions and voila! :)

Wiggie: Oh my goodness I forgot about your upcoming run! How long is that race again? You are going to do fabulous, i'm sure. :) You've been doing some killer workouts lately. Imax 3 makes me shudder. :p I also enjoy TBT Lower Body split. It's a nice change from some of Cathe's longer lower body workouts. I love finding good deals on workout DVDs! $5.00 = awesome!
 
Happy Tuesday! :)

I got down and dirty this morning with X-Train Tabatacise. All. Five. Tabatas. :eek: :eek: :eek: It was rough. My cardio capacity is weak right now, so i'm trying to build it back up. I reduced the impact during one of the recovery blasts and added an extra 10-15 second break between tabatas 3 and 4. But other than that, I did the workout as is. I also did 42 situps. I'm trying to work on pace, so did 20 situps at goal pace, then rested, then 10 situps at goal pace, then rested, and then 12 situps at slightly under goal pace. My plan is to work up to 40 situps at goal pace (i.e. 40 situps in under 1 minute).

Hope you gals are having a great day so far!
 
Hi there Ladies!!:cool:

Monday's workout was Cardio Core & Start it Up by DS. I didn't feel like doing too much. Tuesday's workout was More Cardio Strength by MD.:eek:


Wendy: I am sure you're exaggerating re your role playing, :rolleyes::p It's just so different from what you're used to, now I would be really be terrible at that since I'm not that outgoing.:eek: So you leave Thursday, I'm soooo excited for you!! You've been doing some tough workouts good idea to exercise everday now, I'm sure you'll be too busy honeymooning to workout, well I guess honeymooning is a workout in itself, just alot more fun!!:D:p;) Congrats on moving to accounting!!

Katie: No worries about not being around, we miss you but we understand! :) Oooh that mock trail sounds like fun, how'd you get involved? That Burn class sounds intense, not as intense as FBI training though!!:eek: You definitely earned that yoga workout. I like that "down & dirty" comment. I'm going to check out that clip & see what that's all about.:p When you do situps does someone hold your feet or would that be cheating? :rolleyes: My race is a 5k.:confused:

Ok~ Work out complete! FINALLY! :eek:

XT Bi's & Tri's Timesaver premix rounds 4-9 + Crossfire Plyo & Firewalker Tabata premix! :D

Wiggie:: Seriously, NOT exaggerating! I was stumbling over every word during the role playing the other day! :eek: Thanks for the vote of confidence tho! :) Nice work outs! Even when you don't feel like doing much you still kick butt! LOL re the honeymoon "work out". My DH tries to use that on me now and again. It doesn't work though! :p

Katie:: Wow all 5 tabatas!? I haven't done that yet and there is a definite reason why! :eek: You rock! Glad you enjoyed Bob the other day. ;) I need to get back into yoga but I just don't have the time. I stretch as much as I can but full yoga work outs just aren't happening right now. I should be ashamed of myself for not MAKING the time! :eek: Great job on the first run of sit ups girl! As Wiggie would say--You got this! :) Yep-super excited for Vegas but also super unprepared! I don't have ANYTHING packed yet! :eek:

So when I get back from Vegas I will email the new internship contact and set up our first appointment! Sooo excited! :D Nothing new on the accounting job front yet. Big boss is back but nothing has been said. Not worried. I am sure he is playing catch and up and with me leaving for several days it's quite possible the "official move" won't take place until I return. I am going to be running around like a mad woman tmrw though. I lost 2.5 hours manning the reception desk (phones) this afternoon when what I really needed to be doing was catching up the work on the file clerk side so I don't come back to a back-log of work! Tmrw morning I HAVE to work in accounting but in the afternoon I'll just have to get as much done as I can on the other side. I'm truly hoping they eventually find another way to cover that job and take me out of it completely...but until then I will do what I have to do! :)

TTFN!:cool:
 
Hello!

Today's workout was Bob Harper's Ultimate Cardio Body. I was struggling big time this morning. I had to take several short breaks. :confused: Not quite sure what my problem was.... Oh well! I'm going to chalk it up to a bad workout day and move on. :)

Oh, just thought I would let you know I made the first "cut" for the FBI. Only 8 more cuts to go, lol! :) It's a baby step, but at least it's a step forward, right? The next step is a logical reasoning/behavior analysis exam. I should take it in the next 30-90 days. I'm still waiting on notification of the exact exam date/time.

Wiggie: I definitely have those days that I don't feel like doing much too. But you did something, and that's what counts! :) High five! Yes, the FBI requires candidates to do situps with another person holding their feet. I practice by putting my feet under the couch. It does make it slightly easier on the abs, but it's killer on the hip flexors. The FBI also requires you to keep your hands behind your head. This is what is causing me issues. I can go faster and do more with my hands crossed in front of my chest. Sigh. Oh well! I can't change the test so i'm just going to have to practice practice! Yes, definitely check out Tabatacise. It's one tough workout BUT very doable. I find the "active recovery blasts" to be the hardest for me. :confused::rolleyes: But i'm kind of a weirdo. :D

Wendy: Whew, you had a really late night last night. I'm so impressed you still got your workout done. I would have thrown in the towel and went to bed. You rock, girlie! That's another great mish-mosh too. Um, you might want to start packing. You leave tomorrow, right? :p;) I also struggle to find time for yoga. I've been doing it rather frequently lately, but then i'll got 3-4 months without any yoga. Maybe we should all try to do a yoga workout at least 2 times a month. Thumbs down on your craziness at work. BUT, with that being said, when you're in Vegas you'd BETTER not be thinking about work. It's all about having fun my friend. :)
 
Good Afternoon. :)

I actually got up this morning in time to work out despite going to bed ENTIRELY TOO LATE last night! :confused:

I did the first 4 rounds of XT CBS-first two rounds were full rounds but on the second two rounds I left out the chest work. I followed it up with the first 20 mins (all I had time for) of BH's Ultimate Cardio Body.

Katie:: You and I must've been reading each other's minds this morning! LOL Don't feel bad about struggling through your work out. I only did 20 mins and struggled!!! BH doesn't mess around!!!:eek: Congrats on making the first FBi cut! Knew you would! Oh my-I would fail a logic/reasoning exam because I am totally illogical and unreasonable! :p I don't mind the business at work. It makes the days fly by and having the day before you leave on vacation fly by is especially fantastic so bring on the busy, baby! :D I just don't want to leave a bunch of stuff undone. That will bother me while I'm away. :rolleyes:

I am hoping to pop back in before the night is over but if I don't, I'm not sure when I'll be back. I can check in from my phone if I have some down time while I'm away. Regardless, I'll be back...at some point! LOL :p

I come home Tuesday evening...BFN!:cool:
 
Hello Ladies!!;)

I took my rest day as planned, I almost did a new workout I got from Kmart. :rolleyes: X-Factor:ST was on sale at Kmart for 21.04, so I got up to the counter to buy it. I had 21.04 on my rewards card so it ended up being free!!:D It has 12 dvds & some swivel push up stands.

Wendy: I sure hope you are packed & ready to go!! Have fun & be safe! Your job sounds like mine, when I miss a few days I am buried with paperwork when I get back.:mad: I try really hard not to think about it while I'm on vacation, after all, we deserve to have time off ust like everyone else. Good luck with your pt job!!

Katie:: Congrats on making the cut!! I would say making the first cut is probably the hardest. You were picked from hundreds, maybe thousands of applicants, way to go!! All 5 tabatas? You will rock that pt test when the time comes, I know you will!!:) BH's UCB is no easy workout, not sure if I remember it correctly, but I know one of his workouts began with a bunch of walk out planks & my arms were tired after the warmup!:eek:

Good morning!! ;)

Thursday's workout was X-factor dvd 1, it's about 35 minutes long. I was going to do # 2 also, but I felt like I had workout enough!!:p:rolleyes:

Have a great weekend!! :cool:

Friday's workout was Ripped & Chiseled by Jari Love. Saturday's was Fire 30 that morning & Xfactor dvd 2 that evening.

Hi Katie!!

Hi Newlywed!! :p
 
Hello beauties!!

I can't believe it's been so long since I checked in. :( Sorry about that! Thanks so much for the congrats re: the FBI progress. :):):)

Thursday after work I went to a class called Burn+. The class consists of 30 minutes of intervals/upper body/lower body and 30 minutes of abdominal work. I won a plank challenge (2.5 minutes), so that was fun. Overall I enjoyed the class but it wasn't quite the level of intensity that I prefer.

Friday I rested. I got an awful sinus headache and was out of commission most of the evening.

Saturday I started with the 72 drop-set pushups from Gym Styles. I did 2-3 reps on my knees and added an extra 10 second rest in the middle. After that I did Cardio Core Circuit. Yowza! That one never gets easier. Because I already did pushups and my chest was burning I modified any move that had a pushup in it. The workout was still super tough.

Yesterday I rested...again. It wasn't a planned rest day. Oh well!

Today i've got a Punch class after work. I'm super excited to get my sweat on. :)

Wiggie: Thanks for holding down the fort for us this past weekend. Excellent deal on your new workout series! Wow, it doesn't get much better than that, lol. :) So what do you think of the new XFactor series? How does it compare to Cathe? You've been rocking this workouts this weekend. I especially like Double HiiT Sunday. :p;) You rock!

Wendy: Hope you're having a fabulous time in Vegas!!!!!
 
Good morning!!:)

Monday's workout was Plyo X, It doesn't seem as hard as other w/o's I've done but boy was I sweating!!:p:rolleyes: Oh, I made a mistake my run on April 6th is a 10K.:eek: I leave Thursday morning for my conference in Myrlte Beach, lots of classes & lots of fun. :)

Katie: Way to go on that plank challenge!! :D;) I hope your punch class had the intensity you were looking for. Speaking of Intensity, maybe I'll do that one tonight!:p I don't have Gym Styles but I've heard it's tough. I like X-Factor, it's all bodyweight exercises, you can make it really intense or you can follow the modifier. Glad you recovered from your sinus issues so quickly, great workout Saturday.:eek: I need to follow your lead. I still can't do that roll back jump up thing,:eek: well I haven't tried that in a while. Maybe I'll try that one tonight & surprise myself.:rolleyes:

Have a great day!!:)
 
Hiya!

Punch class yesterday rocked. Except, my left shoulder (and left wrist) have been bothering me lately, and man my shoulder really started hurting last night. I've got an icy hot on it this morning. Hopefully that will help. This morning I did Intensity. EEK! It sure is a toughie, but one of my favs. :)

Wiggie: Yes, please do Intensity tonight. It'll be an Intensity-dedicated day. :D:p I HATE the roll back/jump up move. I can do it, but never as fast as Cathe and the crew. I'm always 1-2 reps behind. :mad::confused: So do you feel ready for your 10K??? I need to have a conference at the beach soon.... :p;)

Wendy: Are you back yet? We miss you!
 
Good Morning Ladies. :)

Well, we got back last night. I was exhausted but I went to bed at 10 and got up at 6 and feel pretty good this morning!

No work out this morning but I'm not worried. I'll start fresh in the morning...or maybe even tonight if the mood moves me! ;)

We had a blast! Drinking, eating, drinking, playing, drinking, shopping, drinking, sight seeing, drinking...and well...I think you get the picture! LOL :p

We have to order the pics we want from the Wedding Ceremony. Once we get them (4-6 weeks :rolleyes:), I will post a few for you gals to see. :) Any other pics I took are on FB already.

I will start fresh with personals today at lunch!
BBL!:cool:
 
Good morning!

Yesterday I went to Punch class after work. The instructor was on fiya, and so were my chest and leg muscles. ;) I sweated buckets and loved every minute of it!

This morning I did Horizontal Conditioning, Vol. 1. I got the DVD on sale a few weeks ago, but until this morning hadn't had a chance to try it out. The jury is still out for me. I didn't sweat that much, but my muscles were burning. It's a great total body workout. Candidly my left shoulder is hurting me again, so that could be why I have reservations about the workout (all those planks on a painful shoulder is not pleasant).

Wendy: WELCOME BACK!!!! It sounds like you had a fabulous time in Vegas! I can't wait to see pictures. I'll have to jump over to Facebook this afternoon or evening. How's the adjustment back to the real world? Painful, huh? :p;) I'm counting the days until my trip to Texas. :)

That's all for now. TTYL!!
