Took the day off yesterday from work and workouts because I had to take my mom in for her pre-admissions test for her next hip surgery. Appointment was at 9 and we were there until about 11:30. Then we went to Perkins and had lunch. Had a great time with her, even though we were at the doctors most of the time.

Anyways, yesterday was beautiful and I had a great weekend. Love this warm weather and it's about time. Rode my motorcycle alot this weekend.

I did total body today and on tap was Muscle Max. Had an excellent workout. I had to skip abs, though. I really need to start my workouts a bit earlier to get it all in. I'm neglecting my abs big time again.

Gotta get my ass to work. Can't wait to get on my bike! :eek:
 
Hi ladies. DH and I ran this morning. Going to try to get the weights done at lunch. It's supposed to be upper body with plyo. Since I ran, I will likely only do a few plyo moves (if any).

Debbie - so glad you had a good day and are enjoying the motorcycle again!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!
 
Good Morning,

DH and I went for a walk last night so I didn't get the wts in. Tonite if it is not raining I am going to go for a walk and then try and get the wts. done.
 
Hi ladies.

So after my all-out HIS workout last night, I wake up this morning to this odd tightness/pain in the back of my left heel. I was limping around the house like a little old lady this morning. It's starting to feel a little better as the day goes on.

I gotta tell ya, I have absolutely no motivation for weights lately...:confused: All I want to do is cardio or circuits. Anyone else ever get like that?

I love weight work, but for the past few days I just stand there staring at my weights like "nah, not feeling it today" and I end up popping in a cardio/circuit DVD or getting on my bike and Cardio Coach'in it. Tonight is supposed to be weight work, but I'm already leaning towards a CC workout. What's up with that?!?!
 
I get that tightness - plantar fasciitis. I have found that step aggravates it more than anything else. Try icing it and lots of calf stretching.

Sounds like you might need just a bit of a break from weights or try a whole new type of weight rotation? Maybe do one muscle group a day?

Thanks Heather! Plantar fasciitis....I never quite knew what it was. It makes sense because I used to get this alot a few years back when all I did was step.

It's funny you should mention a one muscle group a day type of rotation because I was looking through my DVD collection last night and thought I might try a Cross Train Express rotation. I've had the DVD set since last year, I think. That or maybe 4DS. I'll think about it while I'm on my bike tonight...:p

You are just a boat-load of help today, Heather...THANKS!! :D
 
Hi Girls!!

I ended up doing a premix from Supersets, all upper body, and then did High and Tight from BBL. God that burns my butt! :eek: Guess that's good! LOL!

It is so HOT out today, supposed to reach 90-ish. I thought about a run. But I didn't want to go out when it was the hottest out. Maybe I'll try to get out first thing tomorrow AM, before it gets hot again.

Debbie: Sounds like you had a nice day with your mom yesterday, in spite of it being at the doctors. Great job on MM today!! that is a tough one! I'm feeling kind of lazy about my abs lately.

Heather: Nice job on the run and hope upper body weights goes well at lunch! What plyo stuff were you going to do? From STS or just random plyo moves?

Roxie: Nice that you got to walk with your DH! Hope you get to fit in weights today!

Melissa: Hope the heel is all better! Did you get a zing of pain first thing stepping on it this morning? I think that is a classic symptom of Plantar Fascitis. CTX is a good idea or 4DS. I did do one body part a day for a week, a few months ago. I had NEVER worked out like that before. It was VERY cool and different and I enjoyed it. It's not like CTX or 4DS, it's literally ONE body part a day. I think there's a few rotations like that from Cathe and Debbie, because I was checking them out at one point.

*waves* to Jessica and Nora!! Can't wait to hear what you guys are doing today!
 
Back from lunch weights: 3 sets of 8 reps done as supersets. I know I went up in weights, but I really don't feel like looking back to last week's - sorry, lazy me today.

Biceps - Preacher curls (16.5's)

SS#2
Shoulders - Dumbbell shoulder press (21.5's)
Triceps - Overhead extension (28)

SS#3
Chest - Flyes (31.5's)
Biceps - Hammer curls (21.5's - failed at 7 on 1st, got 8 2nd, failed 7 last set)

Plyo moves:
Explosive running man
Wide jump ups on step
Plie jacks
Ski hops

Melissa - glad I could be of some help today!!! Have fun contemplating weights as you ride ;)

Chris - If I have time, I have done some of the HIIT workouts for plyo or sometimes I'll do what I did today and just do random plyo stuff. My legs are fairly tired from hill repeats Sun, legs yesterday, run today. So I took the easier route today (sort of).

Roxie - I hope you get to enjoy a walk this evening!
 
:cool:Hi girls:)

I'm still having spotty internet coverage so I'll try to be back for personals later, but will check in now.

Here's today's workout:

Insanity- Plyo Cardio Circuit I substituted for Max Interval Plyo today. My knees just didn't feel up to it. MS Fatigue is really kicking my butt hard yesterday and today.

So I did
Insanity- Plyo Cardio Circuit= 40 Min
Calories burned= 601

Cardio & Wts Premix- Time Saver Compound and Heavy Weights=36 Min
Calories burned= 319

Total calories burned= 920;)


Ok, that's it for today's workout for me. My knees are so sore I'll ice them and hope I'll be able to workout tomorrow. I'll try to come back for personals. Have a great day girls!;)

Hugs!:):cool:
