    Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for August 2023

    We took a quick camping trip this weekend to some alpine lakes for a bit of hiking and fishing and 4 wheeling. I did Penny Barnshaw's Strength drop-sets this morning from YT. I like this format and they are only 30 minutes long. I can't seem to squeeze any longer of workouts in anymore...

    Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for August 2023

    This morning I did WO 2 of Katami 4x4. The format is going to get old even though each workout is different exercises. Still 4 blocks of 4 exercises repeated 2x.

    I did KCM Boxfit this morning. Feeling my cardio is a bit down now because I've been getting winded easily!

    Debbie - I have freestanding rack stands (if that makes sense). They are separate units that I set up on either side of my bench when I want them. If not - I just move them off to the side. I'm not at home but I'll look up the brand of them for you. I did Katami 4x4 Change 1 workout today...

    Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for July 2023

    I did a Penny Barnshaw 30 MInute Full Body decending time workout on YT this morning and then took the dog for a short walk. Yesterday I checked out some new bike trails at the state park south of us. Good flowy trail but lots of climbing and lots of hike-a-bike sections through rocks and...

    Whew- back from vacation - we went to Steamboat Springs - about 4 hours away. Lots of kayaking, biking, paddleboarding. I should have taken an extra day off before heading back to work! Our internet has been down too - I'd switch but its so expensive - I think we might be due for a new...

    Yesterday I did a 1.5 hour bike ride in the morning before getting ready for a bbq with my sister and family. I was dragging this morning and must have slept horrible between thunderstorms and fireworks. So I did STS 2.0 standing abs 1 and 2. I enjoyed them both as they felt more like...

    Thanks Belinda - I picked up Paul's 10 DVD set for $15. We'll see - I'm sure its dated but he was a good instructor! I did 2.0 Body parts legs this morning. Have a great 4th of July everyone!

    This morning was bike to work day in Colorado Springs. So I rode to work. It takes about 30 minutes for me to get to downtown in the am. The real workout is this evening when I have to ride back home - uphill!

    We lugged the incline trainer down to the basement last night. It took both my son and my husband and a couple hours to get it disassembled, down and then re-assembled. Whew! I was trying to figure out why someone had put such a nice treadmill (originally $2999 retail) out for free but...

    Cam - I do think the key is portion conrol. And for me- trying to not emotional eat but only eat when I'm hungry. I cancelled Noom - I liked some of the initial readings and encouragement but I don't think I would keep it up even if I knew I was paying for it. I'm going to try a different...

    I did a bike ride today up Cheyenne Canyon on the Palmer trail. 2.5 miles of climbing and then turn around and fly back down!! I'm really feeling stuck on loosing weight. I still have 15lbs to loose and have been here for over a year! Nothing seems to budge. I seem to do ok during the day...

    I did Penny Barnshaw on YT this morning - modifying everything to low impact. My paid was back again last night (another kidney stone?) and it was hard to sleep.

    Did STS 2.0 Lower Body 1 today - well at least 45 mintues of it before I had to stop to get my day going. I had a bizarre weekend. Friday night by mid-back started hurting - was so painful I couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep and hurt taking deep breaths. Woke up with some...

    I did Trisets Total body timesaver 2 premix today which is Tri, shoulders, bis, and Legs. I think splitting this one up into 2 workouts works pretty well, one split is more legs focused and one split is more upper body focused.

    Jolie- that's why I taught my dog to run next to my bike. Its a lot easier for me to coast around on my bike when I don't feel like walking the dog but he needs exercise. I go really slow so its the dog's walking/easy jogging pace and we stop alot whenever he wants to sniff or needs a...

    Belinda - I ordered a Mountain Bike training video because I was curious as well as a scenic bike video in New Zealand because I've done a couple New Zealand rides on IFit and the scenery is beautiful. I'm going to have to get my heavy bag filled back up again. I just dumped it out to move it...

    Belinda - thanks for the comment on the Heavy Bag series. I had my eye on it at TotalFitnessDVDs after i got my heavy bag but couldn't justify $80 for the set.... but $15 I can handle!! So I ordered a copy. Today was a 30 minute bike ride and 2.0 active recovery until the dog started...
