Negin Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Time for just a few stretches and weights stuff. Very busy morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I went to spin (RPM) this morning. I haven't been in a couple of weeks and even then it was extremely hard for me since it is a new exercise. Right now my hip flexors, my exterior hips, and my legs are aching. Good times. I'm thinking about going again Thursday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia in WV Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 After 14 years of doing The Firm, the Wii Fit is much more fun--more cardio and better results too! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm upping my walking to 5 miles daily at 6 days a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Last week I started combining P90X strength exercises with Turbo Fire's cardio; made my own schedule. Today was Turbo Fire's Fire 55 EZ workout. It was NOT easy, but it was so much fun. I've started counting calories with the MyFitnessPal app and have finally started to lose weight! I had no idea how much I was eating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All well. Well, not every workout can be a home run! Gearing up for my half marathon trail at the end of January. Gearing up for more BJJ. Slipping in the Insanity/Asylum hybrid on non-BJJ days. btw - Team Beachbody is having a Black Friday sale. PM if you want the links and the info.

I don't know yet. I've only done Fire 45 EZ, Fire 55 EZ, and Low HIIT 20 so far. I suppose if I had to pick, I enjoyed 55 EZ a little better. They kick my hiney... but my hiney is really liking it, so it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I just started this. How effective is it for weight loss? Debbie, Leslie has tons of 4 Mile workouts. I think pretty much any of them, like most forms of exercise, can be effective. Unfortunately, when it comes to weight loss, diet is first and foremost. :glare: Woke up late and had ambitious plans. I've started stretching and will do some weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemykids Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Sunday I did Jillian’s 6 Week Six Pack and then Monday and Tuesday I regretted it (lol). I have been doing the Elliptical machine and not much else, so I am just getting back to working out somewhat strenuously again. Ugh..

Critterfixer Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Congrats to Stephanie Z on the marathon. I just saw it in the last thread--catching up after a busy week. My work for this week: Sunday-6 mile bike ride with the boys, 1 mile walking with the boys and the DH at sunset. Monday-scheduled rest day. Tuesday-3 mile run and 4 mile bike ride with the boys. My hFA son has just discovered that a bike without training wheels is awesome! He beats the socks off me. Wednesday-Went diamond hunting. Didn't find any, but got some good garnet shist samples. Thursday-Baked the turkey and still got in a 4 mile run. Friday-Nothing today-working. Saturday-3 mile run on my schedule after work.

Unscripted Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I did a strength kettlebell circuit Monday- with some free weights tossed in (a few deadlifts and military presses) Tuesday I did a kettlebell conditioning circuit- it was 4 different circuits of 4 exercises each done 3 times over- in intervals (40seconds work, 20 seconds rest) Wednesday I ran 11 hill sprints with KB swing pyramid in between. Yesterday was a quick 1.5mile run during a brief lull in cooking before guests arrived. Today- another kettlebell strengthening interval workout. I felt like crap - zero energy (likely from yesterday's ridiculous intake). Had to back the time down to 30 seconds / 30 seconds- but was able to maintain my loads. I swear I am dumping all of the naughty left overs so I won't feel like I did this morning again! Lol I saw Stephanie's race time too- and tried to post my congrats but kept getting the boot. Way to go girl! That was AWESOME!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 yestereday did 15 minute HIIT Turbo Fire and 30 minute scult. Today is 45 Fire but I am really, really tired. I am wondering if it's possible that I am overtraining. The first two weeks, when I was starting TF, it was HARD but fun--I didn't feel my muscles were tired, but my heart was! Now, when I do Turbo Fire, I can barely get through the workouts--my muscles just feel so draggy and tired and it's hard to do the moves. I cant figure out what is going on. I am eating well, more protein, lots of water. But I can barely make my muscles do the moves, and I am actually fairly fit. I feel like I have lead weights on my limbs! yestereday did 15 minute HIIT Turbo Fire and 30 minute scult. Today is 45 Fire but I am really, really tired.

ETA: Okay, i may have solved the problem, I dont think I am eating enough. Because last night (thanksgiving) i ate a nice sized meal (not huge but definitely much bigger than usual) and I felt much better during my workout today. I definitely think I need more than 1200 calories a day which is what I was assigned in my app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have very recently discovered that 7hours or less means "lead leg syndrome" for me. And honestly- I find it hard to devote that much time to sleep- especially when I am backed up with other work around the house. I have to do it though or I am just slogging through my workouts. Just a thought. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. :) No, I sleep 8-9 hours a night. I love my sleep LOL. When I googled 'overtraining" it was mentioned that insomnia or restlessness at night could be a symptom, and for the last week, I have woken up in the middle of the night randomly. That doesn't happen to me. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
