I then did Ripped with Hiit Abs 1 and 2, 23 minutes, 92 calories. Total time was 83 minutes and calories burned 465.

Debbie, I posted on September but wanted to let you know again, thanks for the information on the Fit Bit differences. I would be disappointed if I got the wrong one.

Roselyn, any news on your Dad?

Today I did Body Beast Bulk Back. 30 minutes. I dropped some of the weights by 5lb other than increasing on the ez bar rows by 2 lb.. I have had a lot of neck and trap soreness and headaches the last few days. I am not sure about shoulders tomorrow. I will have to see. Some of it might be doable since it is bulk. I then did you tube Sarah Beth Yoga, 20 minute deep stretch for neck and shoulders and Intermediate, power Hatha Yoga 30 minutes.
Weights today were

Debbie, nice work.
 
Today I finished 6 weeks of Body Beast. Next week I will do more metabolic stuff and cardio with yoga for a break before I go back to heavy weights. My workout was STS Cardio Core Circuit, 51 minutes, 350 calories, 8:40 zone 1; 11;32 zone 2; 3;10 zone 3. I then did Body Beast Shoulders going lower this time on the weights. 37 minutes, 152 calories. I used just the Polar for this. I am pretty sure with Map my fitness I have to have my other devices off. It picked up at first then lost the connection and I never could get it back. Total time was 83 minutes, 502 calories. I also did some more yoga with Sarah Beth on You tube doing Deep Stretch for chest and back and Post workout yoga stretch. I didn't count these in time and calories.
 
I forgot to put down my weights :oops:

Today was Bulk: Chest. Had a great workout. Love this one but sometimes they go way too fast with the reps. I did them at my own pace.

This is what I did:


Super Set:
Incline Dumbbell Fly: 15's/20's/25's - 15/12/8 reps

Multi Set
Pushups: 15/12/8 reps
Russian Twist: 30 seconds (did this twice)

Diane Sue - Nice job with Bulk Shoulders!!!
 
Today I did To the Max Triple Tabata Mix 30 minutes, 185 calories. I then did Lean Legs and abs + bonus barre, 62 minutes, 295 calories. I used Map my Fitness for both and got the HR to work but it was still pretty high so I made adjustments. Total time was 92 minutes and calories burned 480. MMF had me over the workout manager on Triple Tabata. I used the calories per hour app to help make adjustments. The Lean legs workout was not way off but said 346. That would be cool but I am sure it is not correct.
 
Today was shoulders yesterday legs, I will post my weights tomorrow I get so lazy.

My dad is doing good, getting some strength back thanks for all the prayers.

I am glad to hear he is doing better. I have been praying and wondering since I haven't seen you post for a couple of days.

Today was supposed to be Bulk Legs but I decided to do a treadmill workout instead. My knees are bothering me so I didn't want to do legs with weights. The last time I ran on my treadmill was 9/18!! I can't believe it's been that long. I love Body Beast but really miss running. I think while I'm doing Bulk I may double up and do two body parts a day so I can have maybe two days on the treadmill. I'll see how it goes. Each bulk workout runs about 30-38 minutes. I think it can be done if I can get in my workout room by 5:30.

I did Run Fit today and had a great workout. Workout was 54 minutes, I ran 3.57 miles and burned 366 calories.

Roselyn - So glad to hear your dad is doing better!!!

Diane Sue - This calorie burn stuff is bizarre, isn't it? I know I burned more than 366 calories with almost an hour of cardio.
 
Today I did Les Mills Combat Ultimate workout with a yoga warm up with Sarah Beth, 54 minutes 334 calories. I finished off with 23 minutes more of Sarah Beth Yoga from you tube doing yoga for neck and shoulder tension. yoga for upper back tension, and yoga for hips and low back.

Debbie, I always feel a bit baffled by my calorie burns. Today I just used Polar. It seemed I could hardly get it to read much over 125 bpm on the heart rate. That being said I tried to put my all into it and some extra movements so maybe it is just me. I read on facebook that the woman who wrote Paleo OMG and other cookbooks and has a blog did workouts and she showed her avg hr to be in the 170's and max in the 207 and up to around 218. Now I have a hard time seeing that ever happening.
 
Today was Bulk: Arms. Had a great workout. Also walked on my treadmill for 1 mile afterwards.

This is what I did:

Progressive Set:
Standing Dunbbell Curl: 10's/12's/15's - 15's/12's/10's - 15/12/8 - 8/12/15 reps

Single Set:
Dumbbell Tricep Extension: 20#/25#/30#/20# - 15/12/8/8 reps

Force Set:
Wide Grip Barbell Curl: 30# - 5 sets/5 reps, no rest and no putting weight down

Single Set:
Skull Crusher: 25#/30#/35#/30# - 15/12/8/8 reps

Progressive Set
Concentration Hammer Curl: 10#/12#/15# - 15#/12#/10# - 15/12/8 - 8/12/15 reps each arm

Diane Sue - That is so frustrating. I just take comfort in knowing we are really burning way more. We gotta be!!! LOL!!

Progressive Set
One-Arm Kickbacks: 5#/8#/10# - 10#/8#/5# - 15/12/8 - 8/12/15 reps each arm

Weighted Crunch - 10# - 3- seconds

Have great workouts everyone!!!
 
Today I did PEdal Power 59 minutes, 489 calories followed by Great Glutes stability ball, floor work, and stretch, 23 minutes, 80 calories. Total time was 82 minutes, calories burned 569. Since I did the compound stuff Lean Legs on Monday I decided this was sufficient for a little and give my knees and shoulders a bit of a break from the weights. I really am not a fan of the overhead stuff while doing squats. It makes my neck and shoulders hurt.

Debbie, nice work on the weights. I have though about doubling up on those shorter workouts. Usually though by the time I am done with one I feel worked enough that I am not sure I would work as hard on the second workout. They wouldn't be too long cutting off a warm up and a stretch. It depends on which ones put together. I usually am pretty well done after legs.
 
today was bulk arms and piyo core. I have been so busy but i promise to start posting my weights again, i have cardio tomorrow and then I am doing body beast again so i will definitely post weights
 
Today was Bulk: Back. Had a great workout. Also walked on my treadmill for 1 mile afterwards.

Today I did Ripped with Hiit Low Impact Hiit 2, 30 minutes, 201 calories. My Aunt is coming to visit today so that is all I had time for. Then really I am sort of on a bit of an active recovery :p I am not very good at recovery. I wouldn't have slowed it down a bit but my body was starting to yell at me. I will try to get in some yoga stretching sometime today. I have been adding that every day.

Debbie, nice work on the weights :)

Roselyn, looking forward to you posting weights.
