LaxMom Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I did a 15 minute cardio warmup, and it's an upper body day so I did incline/decline bench press, a couple warmup rounds, then 8/6/4RM (I'm rehabbing a rotator cuff, so naturally I'm going to spend as much time, with as much weight, as I can on the bench(es) :lol: ); dumbbell curls, triceps, angled rows, overhead press; cable shoulder and traps work. And I did abs. Tomorrow starts full return to daily workout (I've only been lifting for the past few days) so I'll be doing an additional 30 minutes of cardio after dead lifts & abs. (My whole body hurts. I am blaming it on my 18yo workout buddy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Nice easy 45 min of Denise Austen. I had a bad night and my whole body was slow and sore this morning from bad sleep. So I decided to be gentle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Sunday: Nuttin' Monday: Bob Harper's Cardio Rev. I gained back all the weight I lost over the summer in the past week, so I'm determined to burn it back off! I lost most of it doing the two-week induction phase of Atkins, so I'm going to try my hand at that again starting today. I have a church Christmas party on Saturday that I'll hopefully be able to control myself for, but otherwise there shouldn't be any huge high-calorie temptations in my face for the next two weeks. Here's hoping, anyway. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMary2 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I started today - after too long of a break. For 20 minutes I alternated between brisk walk and slow jog, as well as stepping up and down the curb for 10 counts on each foot. At my weight and current state of health, that was all I could muster this morning. I may go out on my bike with the kids this afternoon if I have time.

Jennifer in MI Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 What is Asylum like? Can you compare it to Insanity? Is it "jumpy"? It's been a while since I did Insanity. But, Asylum is a lot like Insanity, but more strength added in. It's a LOT of cardio, and yes. Lots of jumping. I find it much, much more intense. But, I feel SO good afterward, in a way that Insanity didn't do for me. I still love Insanity, but I feel stronger after Asylum. There aren't as many breaks in Asylum. Not as much time for recovery. I know Youtube has a bunch of videos with samples of Asylum - when it first came out people were doing it and videotaping themselves to show people what it was like. I went for a quick jog this AM. I was going to do either Game Day + Overtime (Asylum) or Strength (Asylum) but I hurt my elbow. Not ready to do pushups on it. I hope your elbow is better soon. After 11 months of no exercise, I walked around our neighborhood early this morning hoping to stave off additional holiday pounds before I make the usual January comittment to better health. :D You have to start somewhere!

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The doctor has cleared me for lower body exercise but not upper body yet.

StephanieZ Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 How do you like Pure Cardio? That was one of my favorite workouts! I like it just fine, lol. I'm hanging in there, getting back into a groove after taking last week totally off (unscheduled) from Insanity (between weeks 3 & 4) in order to recover from near Insanity-burn out and taper for my 10k race on Thanksgiving. I can't say I love any of the Insanity workouts. It's not that I dislike them, I just resent that they are not running. It just irritates me to put the time and sweat in to exercising without getting that meditative peace that I get during and post-run. That said, Insanity is definitely doing great things for my running and my body. I am stronger, faster, etc. I had some lingering pain (deep right ass cheek, lol) that had been bothering me for about 5 months (despite PT and a long cross-training/rest over the summer) that has just now resolved by 98% since I began Insanity. It's AWESOME. The rest of my legs, etc are also doing great, despite continued substantial running miles. So, I am really happy with the impact Insanity is having on my running! I won't do DVDs over and over all the time, but I am going to try to get through this 9 week schedule (with probably one or two more "off" weeks for a half marathon in early January . . .) before setting it aside for a while.
