Excercise thread 1/22-1/28

I had my heart set on going to the Les Mills release party at the gym I attend tonight. Dh even took off of work so I could attend. I am sick. :( Maybe I will feel better by this evening but I doubt it, even if I were I don't think it would be a good idea to work out.

Oh no! I am sorry! Load up on them drugs and go!

 

I haven't exercised all week but went for a light jog this morning. Next week is phase 2 of P90X2. I expect a lot of pain.

So sorry you are ill! I hope you get better SOON!

 

Friday: Les Mills Pump - Revolution

 

I wasn't supposed to do this until the middle of next week, but I couldn't wait! Really liked it. Lot more reps in the squats track, and also has a biceps and triceps track. I really like the biceps track! There is going to be a learning curve on the right amount of weight. I used the suggested beginner weight for most of this since I had not done it before. I did use the lower intermediate weight on the lunges. I have GOT to locate some 2.5 lb plates. Ten pounds per side is not enough on some tracks, but I know I couldn't handle fifteen either. It also takes me longer to do this workout than it says b/c I am not that speedy about changing the weights. Hopefully, I will get faster at that. I think once I settle on the right amount of weights for each track that will help speed things along, too.

 

Definitely glad that there are bicep and tricep tracks in this.

I lost track of the days this week but I've done 2 days on the treadmill at an hour each and two new EB workouts...Fat Burning Fusion and Grace & Gusto...she accurately describes her workouts as deceptively challenging :D

 

I let my oldest dd borrow JM BFBM last night and she called to fuss at me for bringing her such a hard workout :tongue_smilie:

My chiro also recommended I just go tonight. She said to just sweat it out! :lol: Luckily I am feeling a lot better than I was last night and feeling better than this morning. I did take a couple ibuprofen this morning so that is probably why. My only concern with going is that it is 3.5 hrs long, but I don't have to do everything. If I did go I'd want to do BodyPump (~45 min - everything but the abs and cooldown), BodyStep (30 min, no recovery tracks just the peaks :eek: ), BodyCombat (30 min), CX Worx (30 min) and BodyFlow (30 min). I guess if I went and felt awful after Pump & Step then I would just head home.

Thanks for the well wishes :) I saw that you did not like Combat. I think doing it in a class environment is so much different and I am not sure if I would like it at home either.

 

Does the bicep track have a lot of bottom halves and up quick/down slow? Those are killer for me. I only use 11 lbs (2 - 2.5 kg plates) and sometimes I feel like I can barely finish!

 

Definitely find more plates! Maybe you can find some on ebay? My gym is getting rid of their old plates and getting new ones, I wonder what they are doing with the old ones.

Yes I did. I did. I did. I did. :D

 

I went to the Les Mills launch party tonight and had a fabulous time. I did all of the classes except for BodyAttack (which reminded me of 80s aerobics :lol: ). BodyPump had some crazy lunges (fast ones) into power knees which was almost impossible. BodyStep had a lot of split jump lunges that were very hard. I will most likely be sore tomorrow but I am so glad I went!

 

Happy weekend to everyone!

SJ

I did JM 6 Pack in 6 Weeks. It's been a very long time since I've done one of her DVDs.

 

 

I always find myself wondering if the women in workout DVDs have had children. I mean you never see stretch marks or saggy skin. I'm thin but I have saggy skin on my tummy from it having stretched so much in three pgs. Is it even possible to get rid of the saggy stretched out skin?

Have a tummy tuck! :D I know that isn't what you meant.

 

I thought I had cellulite on the fronts of my thighs. My dear friend assured me I did not have cellulite on the fronts of my thighs..."those are just wrinkles." Like THAT was supposed to make me feel better! So, I am not sure you can do anything for saggy, stretched-out skin. Sorry. :tongue_smilie: Just thought sharing the fact that I have wrinkly thighs might make you feel better.

Saturday: Brazil Butt Lift - Bum Bum and High & Tight

 

Haven't done these in a couple of weeks b/c of Pump. Think I will be sore tomorrow! I am going to add these back into my rotation on a cardio day. I know the Bum Bum isn't *that* cardio-ish, but it is somewhat.

 

I think my eventual schedule (once I work up to it in Pump) will be:

 

Monday - Pump Revolution

Tuesday - Pump Step and ab work

Wednesday - either BBL Sculpt, NMTZ, or Jackie Warner's Power Circuit Training

Thursday - Pump Sports Attack and ab work

Friday - Pump Extreme

Saturday - BBL Bum Bum and High & Tight

 

That only has me doing Pump twice a week instead of three times, but I think I will be happier with some variety thrown in. I will alternate those

three DVDs I listed on Wednesdays.

 

What do y'all think of this plan?

 

SJ - so glad you were able to make it to the Pump event last night!

I finished off my goal for the week today with 2 miles walked. I had to do it in my clogs with a low heel as I didn't think ahead. I had some down time at a park during an activity my kids were participating in---so I walked back and forth! I think from now on I'll have my sneakers in the car.

massage is suppose to help saggy stretched out skin.
