Wednesday Workout

that sounds like a REALLY decent lower body workout! How do you do the plie squats on the step, one leg on the step, one on the floor? I'd like to try those:-)

Hi,

  Today Cathe called for Plyo Legs.  I couldn't see doing that one since I did Power Hour yesterday.  I started the rotation off a bit anyway so I knew I wouldn't be doing Plyo legs lol.

 

I did Cardio Camp this morning.  Such a fun routine.  I burned 436 calories.

 

Have a great day

Great job, and great burn.  Also glad to hear you felt the kickboxing workout more this time around as well!DarcyOn Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 8:22 AM, <fitgrl222@...> wrote:

 

Hi,

     This morning I did 's Kickboxing workout #1 & Weights workout #1 (back, legs & chest)  I used my weighted gloves for the kickboxing and it did make a difference.  I really enjoyed the music in this one also.

 

Not sure why she has you doing legs in this workout again today when yesterday was all legs, but it wasn't bad.  I'm really surprised that I'm not sore from all that yesterday.  Maybe it'll kick in later.

 

These combined workouts ended up being an hour long and I burned 454 calories.

 

 

 

 

Have a great day!*~~*

Good for you working out anyway and thanks for the inspiration!

Wednesday workout

Hi,

This morning I got up with zero energy. had down cardio blast (premix #1) I actually questioned myself as to if I could even do that. I pushed myself and did it and man was I glad it wasn't too hard. In this premix she only does the plyo's one time through.

I burned 361 calories. I'm glad its over.

Have a great day!*~~*

Hi,

This morning I went with a mish mosh using Amy Bento's Advanced Step workouts. I finished with Shiva Rea Daily Energy and did the core and forward bend sections.

Here's how it went:

ASC3 warm up, combo 1, combo 2

ASC2- combo 1, combo 2, power ups

ASC3- power ups, cool down

This was fun except for on the power ups I got confused and didn't have a lot of room...PLUS, I FELL. I was starting the power ups on ASC3 and right at the beginning I was a little bit confused and down I went. I didn't hurt myself, thank God. If anyone could've seen me they would've laughed lol.

I burned 564 calories.

Off to get cleaned up and wait for UPS.

Great job, - you are right though, this one is very hard on the back. I ended up trading this DVD for that reason!Donna

Hi,

This morning I went with SLO-MO Legs and did 2 Set Legs NRG PREMIX. I proceeded with this workout very cautiously. I knew I'd be modifying in places and that's what I did. This workout is killer on the back, especially when you already have a back that's not too friendly a lot of times. The 2 sets was better then 3. I think I did pretty good and my back felt OK throughout the workout.

Sumo squats BB 40 (I put the bar on my shoulders as if to do just squats. My back felt much better like this. It took A LOT of the pressure off)

Jefferson Squats (1) 20 3 sets (the DVD messed up here. next time stop I need to stop on the 2 sets. I added the 3rd because I already started doing the first side)

Cradle side lunges 40 BB 1 set

wobble hack squats 2 risers 15 2 sets ( I like this exercise)

hammy rockers (high step w/ 2 risers) 10 2 sets

glute wraps 20 BB 2 sets

single leg squats ball (1) 10 DB

I don't know if I'll get any DOMS and hopefully my back won't bother me later.

Have a great day!*~~*

I remember doing that leg workout once years ago. You definitely have to be careful with that one.

Great job on getting an earlier one in!  Good idea about just holding the weight.  Glad it worked for you (ball exercise).DarcyOn Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 6:13 AM, <fitgrl222@...> wrote:

 

Hi,

   I had to get up really early this morning to get my workout done.   Got a service guy coming at 9 am.    I did STS legs #6.    I'm hoping for more DOMS, but I have a feeling I won't get it this time.  I usually get it one good time and then if I repeat workouts I don't get it anymore.  BUT, I could get a surprise,  these are tough workouts.

 

 

 

Front lunge+ back lunge

alternating front lunge 12

leg press 15

one leg elevated lunges 10

deadlifts wide stance-  SKIPPED

one leg slide back lunges with paper plate  10

side slide lunges with paper plate 10

one leg sit N stand  (I modified here and did both legs and 6 risers on my high step, 12 lb)

squats narrow stance- 20

calf raises  20

low pulse lunges 10

stiff legged deadlilft on platform- SKIPPED

wall squats double leg- 8 (modified and held the weights the entire time)

lateral step ups- 15

45 degree lunge- 12

squats narrow stance- 20

static low end lunges- 10

wall squat with ball and leg extension

leg press with band on high step

firewalkers

calve raises- 20

 

BONUS LEG BLAST:

standing kickback with band

supine double leg outer thigh press with band

inner thigh raise with band (not sure why she says band here because they use ankle weights. I used 2 lbs)

 

 

 

 This was tough.  She doesn't stretch at all in this one so I had to do a couple stretches on my own.  I wanted to do some of the extended stretch, but I just didn't have time.

 

 I'm so happy I got it done so early.  Off to get ready for school!!!

 Have a great day!*~~*

Wow, what a workout !!!  Two tough ones back-to-back!!!Anxious to hear how 's appt went. I'm bummed because Sawyer is color blind, but I think in just one eye.  I've known it for quite awhile.  Id' be very shocked if someone told me he wasn't.....

Hi,

  I got up at 5 am this morning and did my workout at 6.  I'm feeling some DOMS from jari's workout yesterday so I wasn't sure how cardio would go, especially that early.   I did a lot better then I thought I would.

 

I did In The Ring and did the warm up and all 4 combos.  After that, I did the first half of Tracey's Core Conditioning (thanks for the idea Bernadette)  Man, is that one hard.  Those long holds are just killer. 

 

I didn't realize how long I had been working out until I looked at the clock and realized I had about 5 minutes to spare.  I did my own stretch (which I hate doing) because of time. 

 

I ended up burning 629 calories.  

 

and have eye appointments this evening so no yoga for me. I'm pretty sore and tired anyway.

 

Have a wonderful day!

Hi,

The school called last night around 10:30 and say that it was canceled again today. So I knew I wasn't getting up at 5. I did get up at 6:30 though.

This morning I did Step Moves and Ab Circuits (no equipment abs) I really enjoyed the step this time around. I didn't do all the knee ups. I'd say I did them every other time. I put in leg raises and hamstring curls. I liked that a lot better. Some of the combos in this workout are so fun, especially the one with the bow & arrow, love that one.

The abs were great. I really felt those. Wasn't in love with the planks, but even got through all those.

I burned 455 calories.

Have a great day

Maybe the treadmills are plotting against us! Spooky, LOL!

Great job, funny, my treadmill mysteriously started working again, too.  I hope to be back on it tomorrow or at least be able to do an outdoor walk tomorrow.  So far, resting my back today has proven to be a good idea, it feels better than it has in a week, so maybe I did just need to take a day off!

I did 45 minutes on the treadmill, which suddenly started working correctly. That's an " easy " workout, which I do for cardio alone. Why 45? Because that's how long an hour TV show lasts without commercials. I crank the treadmill up to the fastest walk I can do. I can't really run or jog because of back and foot pain. I built a shelf in front of the treadmill where I can plop my laptop and watch tv while walking. I have to be careful not to sweat all over the keyboard!

Good morning!

I've been wanting to try Slide & Glide from day one of getting these workouts, but I wasn't sure how my furniture movers would work so I grabbed some paper plates just in case. I actually started out with the paper plates and they didn't work any better.

I ended up doing all the workout without any disks, furniture movers or paper plates except for the lunges and the moving pushups, I did use my FM for those.

I did all the same moves as Cathe but made them bigger so most of it I was high impact. For the jumping jacks I did actual jumping jacks, same for all the rest of it. I kept my FM near by for the leg work and then I tossed them when she went back to the bigger cardio moves.

I can guarantee those of you that aren't crazy in love with the disk would have so much more fun without them in this one. In my opinion, there are some moves that aren't even necessary to use the disk, the stretch being one of them.

This is how I will do the workout from now. I used my tied band for the parts where she used her loop and it worked OK, but for the floor legs, triceps and biceps it just didn't last long enough to get any real burns so I might skip that next time.

Here are my numbers:

Calories: 347

Avg: 131

Max: 174

Steps: 2700

I'd like to compare my numbers with some of you that have them and used the disks.

Have a great day!~

how long are these workouts.. I got them but right now too busy to do more than 30 min

This one was 50 minutes. I was going to do the Barre workout today, but was like an hour and 15 minutes so I had to pass on that. I do think most of them are under an hour. There are many premixes too that are shorter.
