Hardcore Rotation Checkin for Thursday Aug 4

You know Susan I was thinking the same thing. I didn't really think about where to add it though, but tomorrow probably would be good.

Is anyone concerned about losing any muscle development from all of this cardio? Before Cathe I only did cardio, but I've learned over the last 6 months to balance weights and cardio.

edited to say: Thanks Susan for the suggestion on getting CTX. I should just do it!
 
I'm back...

It has been a busy day for me but I did go out for a run during lunch today. I think we ran about 4 miles. It was hot!!!!

Sabrina...I hope you enjoy your trip!! I hope have plans to do some sort of workout due to all the fudge it sounds like you are going to indulge in.

Susan...Yeah, I really didn't enjoy SJP that much. It was okay...but I guess I'm just not crazy about hi/lo and that crazy combo with the "pose". Just couldn't get into it...it will just have to grow on me. I think I need some upperbody as well...I might do PUB or something like that. I didn't understand the numbers you were putting behind the exercises on the previous post...Is that how long you are going to do them?

Nicole...I'm doing IMAX 2 tomorrow...I don't like it as much as IMAX3, but I do like it.

Terri...good workouts girl!! Glad you are getting rain...we need it really bad!! I think we may get a little tonight.

Dallas...definitely get CTX!! Get SJP when you have nothing else to buy (just kidding).

Enjoy the rest of the day!!

Marietta-lots of water activities since we are going to a huge water park. I believe there is also a gym in the hotel. We are staying in a condo they(the hotel) just opened last week. I could take my laptop and a couple workouts too!! Just thought of that! Goody for me. KPC could go since I wouldn't have to take lots of equipment with me. What others? Have to think on it. I am getting that fudge too!! :9

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! I will post until Monday morning.
 
Sabrina....take KPC and look up Cathe's vacation workout. It's really good!!

I meant to say earlier to Dallas (I think)...I'm calm now. I'm glad you guys were there for me. I just couldn't take it anymore!!

Where is the vacation workout? Thank you!:)

This evening it looks like I am going to do Leaner Legs and then a coremax workout instead of the ab segment in leaner legs.

Have a great evening. I will be doing good if I can stay away from the ice cream! LOL!
 
Sabrina,

I'm about to do my class...remind me tomorrow and I'll send it to you...okay?

I'm back...Here is the "Vacation Rotation"

25 minutes a morning is all you need to maintain enough so that when you come back you will not feel out of the loop. Bring one set of moderate pound dumbbells (5 or 8 pounds) Here is a sample two week vacation workout:

Monday/Wednesday/Friday

a) Warm Up:
5 minute brisk walk

b) Legs:
Leg Blast:
30 seconds non-weighted squats
30 seconds plyo jacks
30 seconds squats/ with dumbbells in hands
30 seconds front kicks (no dumbells)
30 seconds side kicks (no dumbbells)

Forward lunges (with dumbbells)....3 sets 15 reps (Rt leg 15 / Left leg 15 then do the next set).

Back lunges (with dumbbells).....Same reps/sets as forward lunges.

c) Torso/Arms
Chest: 3 sets of 10 push ups...On last rep of last set hold push up 1/2 way down for 20 seconds.

Back: One arm dumbbell rows (put both weights in one hand) do 3 sets of 15 reps per arm.

Biceps: Concentration curls (put both weights in one arm)do 3 sets of 15 reps.

Triceps: ALTERNATE one set of dips (15 reps) with one set of double arm kickbacks (do as many as you can with that weight and good form). Do three alternating sets.

Shoulders: Seated bent arm side lateral raises (10 reps) right into rear delt flys (as many as you can with that weight and good form). Do three alternating sets.

Abs: traditional crunches for 3 minutes and then flip over and hold a one minute plank

Stretch



Tues/Thursday/Saturday

A 25 minute walk/run (this includes 5 minute brisk walk warm up and three minute stretch).


I did this when I went on vacation a few months ago...not what I'm used to, but very effective.
