Guest guest Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 No wonder you're fried, those are insane weights, way to go!! Monday Workout Good morning! I went through all the workouts I had left and happen to run across a DVD that I had made myself, titled "Mish Mosh workouts" I looked and it had a lower body stability ball floor routine, one body part a day upper body, and a 20 minute mish mosh abs. I decided to do this DVD little by little to make sure I want to keep it on my shelf or ditch it. So, I'm going to be doing one body part a day for this week, but actually doing 2 and then doing shoulders on their own. I plan to get LOTS of DOMS because with the way I made it (God help me) Its a total fryer. You'll see what I mean when you see the details lol. I think this will probably be my last heavy weights for a while. I want to get finished up with the last few workouts I have left and they are all circuit type workouts. But then I might end up putting those on hold once I get the Cathe workouts lol. I don't know that I will be able to resist doing them. So today I started with chest and back. Here's how it went. CHEST: Pyramid Upper Body Warm up chest press/flys (up only) 12/15/20 Slow & Heavy Bench Press (2 sets) 20 Flys (2 sets) 20 Gym Style Bench Press ( 2 sets) 20 Flys ( 2 sets) 15 Incline Bench Press ( 2 sets) 17 Incline Flys ( 2 sets) 17 BACK: Pyramid Upper Body Pullovers/ Double Arm Rows (up only) pullovers 15/20/25 rows 12/15/20 Slow & Heavy Rows ( 2 sets) 25 ( I did one arm rows and just one set) Pullovers ( 2 sets) 30 DB Dead Lifts ( I must've made this before my low back got real bad so I skipped it) Gym Style Reverse Grip Rows ( 2 sets) 20 One Arm Rows ( 2 sets) 25 T-Back Squeeze w/band (I used a 3 lb DB here) *not sure why I put a band exercise in here lol Bar Bell Pullovers ( 2 sets) 30 Low Back Work Stretch I'm fried! After I did my workout I took to school and then walked the dogs. I'm feeling pretty tired right about now and I still have a whole day to go yet. Have a great day!~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Good morning! Well, I FINALLY got to try my first workout from Cathe's new set. I chose the very first disk Afterburn. I sat down last night and wrote down the details of this workout. Those that have done this one, just ignore. She does 10 intervals total and she repeats each one twice. #1 squat digs squat press 10 DB #2 Mountain climbers- ( couldn't use the disk. They kept sliding off my feet) alternating front lunge- dixie cups #3 lateral skates front swing (1) 15 DB #4 air squats burpees w/ 2 pushups (legs in and out) - disks ( was able to use the disks (FM) here) *had to rest on the second round of burpees. Just felt too winded* #5 runners split rear lunge w/ hammer curl - 10 DB #6 kick through planks (I couldn't get my leg straight out to the side for some reason. Had to keep it bent which made my legs BURN) squat w/ one arm upright row 15 DB *had to rest on the second round of the kick through planks* #7 jumping jacks- disks (couldn't use the disks here so I modified with side step taps and did the same arm motion. This was a nice break for me) one arm clean & press- 12 DB #8 spiderman climbers- disks (couldn't use the disks here either) Did the same motion without them.) lateral lunge w/overhead press 15 DB #9 lunge kicks walking planks w/ staggered pushups #10 line taps- dixie cups (used as marker) lateral raise w/rear lunge - 3 DB So this was one TOUGH workout. She gives no rest in-between any part of it. Man, I'm glad its under an hour. I'm disappointed in myself that I had to stop those few times. I guess this one just reminded me of the Hiit workouts which I hated and sold lol. I can't say that I like this workout. I know those have done it really like it so you're thinking I'm weird lol. The thing that turns me off the most is the mountain climbers and the spider climbers, well actually anything that takes you to the floor like that. I get a bit light headed when coming back up and my body sort of says it doesn't want to go on after every single time of doing that kind of exercise. I'm also disappointed that I couldn't use my glider disks or for most of it, my furniture movers. Calories- 389 Avg- 139 Max- 168 Steps- around 3,000 Have a great day!!~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
