Hardcore Fitness Maniacs April 2026

Hi,

Today I did SBF HiiT and Pilates hips & core. Hopefully it will warm up this afternoon to go for a walk.

Jolie - thank you! I am still waiting for the sleep apnea test results in 2 weeks. If the sleep study test comes back negative, that will point that the enlarged artery comes from RP. Which isn‘t good either. It‘s very rare people getting an enlarged Pulumary artery from this disease. I have to look at all the CL workouts I like, I will post them here.

Have a great day and workout.
 
I hope you all had a great Easter. I had a really nice one with my mom, brother, my niece and her fiance and my husband. This year my brother and I did the cooking. I made a lasagna and he ade homemade bread. YUM!! Such a good meal. My mom did the salad and I bought apple pie for desert. And of course we had all kinds of chocolates.

This morning I did Elevated Upper Body Strength - Chest, Tri's and Shoulders. Wow, what a great workout, I loved it. This is how it went:

Alternate Chest Press: 20's - 8 reps
Chest Press: 25's - 10 reps

Workout was 48 minutes, burned 149 calories (whoopee!), HR was 85/128. Can't believe the low calorie burns lately.

Great job on your workouts this weekend!!

I'm on spring break and made some soap today. The technique I tried was a bust, I am so bummed. I still hope the soap itself comes out ok. It should, I just couldn't get the type of swirl I wanted because the consistence was way too thick. :(

Have a great day everyone!
