We will!! We can be creative!
I am so very sorry Nicki. How difficult for you and your co-workers. You have had two big stressors in one week - whoa. Good for you to get some stress busting exercise in on Saturday. I am sure you are a great example to your coworkers.I have been slack this week. My boss died on site Monday and today we are told we will be working from home in teams - I am Team B and will go into the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. What a draining and rough week. I am mentally exhausted and know I need my workouts.
Thank you, Jane! Still not believing what happened.I am so very sorry Nicki. How difficult for you and your co-workers. You have had two big stressors in one week - whoa. Good for you to get some stress busting exercise in on Saturday. I am sure you are a great example to your coworkers.
Yes, you can do it! I am behind too but looking forward to the sense of accomplishment of completing it.8 more STS workouts left! I think I can make it. Will feel a sense of accomplishment when completed. I'm finishing up a month later than I had planned, but hey, life doesn't always go exactly as planned, does it?! Just enjoying each workout as I can fit it in.
I love all of Cathe's kickboxing and bDisk 29 Plyo Legs rocks! Got to be one of the toughest lower body and cardio combo workouts. Gasp! Only 50 mins but I had to pause the player a few times to gulp down lots of water! I have low bone mass so this workout is just what I need - high impact moves along with weighted moves with fairly heavy weights. Perfect prescription for building bone density! Afterward went for a beautiful 70 min. walk with hubby. Feeling good!
Nicki, Kick Punch and Crunch is a great workout!Hope you had fun with it. Cathe's kickboxing workouts are all super and this one is no exception. Planning to do Step Boss Extended Stretch tomorrow.
Today I did Body Blast - Kick, Punch and Crunch!
I know what you mean about the Fit Tower. I tried to use that as well and it didn't work and I'm 5'2". I do have the original cathe squat rack so that's what i'll use when i get to Meso 3.Crazy day yesterday that I for got to post yesterday workouts.
I did Disc 37 Legs squat rack followed by Ab hits #8 and yoga.
The long breaks between sets was hard. I was ready to go after a minute.
I wasn't able to lift as heavy as I liked. (I only did 70 lbs) I was using the Fit Tower and then I remember why I don't use the Fit Tower as much for a squat rack. It's too short for me and not really wide enough. When I get under the barbell I can't push up because of the bar over the Fit Tower so I have to squat forward then push up. I remove the top bar but side bars are not as secure that I felt comfortable with when adding too much weight. I wish I had a squat rack but I guess I work with what I got. I just won't be able to lift as heavy.
Today was cardio and did Les Mills Combat Power Kata followed 15 min. of yoga
I did Disk 38 today - week 2 of squat rack legs. I too can only use 70lbs for the back squats - my vest + what I can safely lift over my head. I am only 5'1" but just couldn't do it with the Fit Tower as a squat rack. So I ended up doing 16 reps / set. Not the way the program is designed but felt I still got a good workout. Like you said, Dchisum, got to work with what we've got.I wasn't able to lift as heavy as I liked. (I only did 70 lbs) I was using the Fit Tower
Whoa, you must have felt fantastic after doing BOTH the Extended Stretch and Yoga Max, Nicki! I did Step Boss Lying Stretch and Ab Stacker today. Lying Stretch is a nice little total body stretch. But I can see doing an additional program as most of Cathe's stretch workouts aren't really all that long. I may try that next time! Thanks for the idea.Yesterday I completed D19, Yoga Max and Extended Stretch
