Kim in Appalachia Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I started my last phase of my kettlebell program yesterday. It's a month of 4 strength workouts. plus cardio, a week. It's about 45 minutes of kettlebell work. It kick my b*tt. Today I am doing yoga. As a treat I signed up for Yogaglo.com for the month. I will need lots of yoga work to balance the kettlebell. I've always loved Yogatoday.com, but they stick to the 1 hour format. Yogaglo has lots of time options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 did my yoga. I feel like I reached a new 'level' of tone and strengthen. I love the flexibility. I am well enough to add the more difficult yoga routine and the barr3 routine back into the rotation this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi all! This weeks plan: mon: cardioX tues: chest and back wed: kenpo thurs: yoga fri: legs and back Completed cardioX last night. I should be working out right now but dh is picking me up some dumbells as I got rid of mine while I was pregnant and nesting, sigh. Perhaps, I will be able to do at least part of my workout in the am which will really help with fitting everything in, last night it was crazy trying to get from scratch supper fixed +cake (which I didn't eat :) ), 45 minute workout and clean the house- all in 2 hrs.

Mom-ninja. Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I managed the first part of today's workout. Butt and thighs Started the cardio portion, but stopped. Didn't get started early enough this morning. I had to play with my 4 yr old. He was a dentist and insisted on "fixing" my teeth. I'll throw in the cardio this afternoon.

Kim in Appalachia Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Another kettlebell day. Today was lots of squats. I did 21 with 35# and 32 with 26#. I will be feeling it tomorrow. I also did lots of snatches, 1 arm swings, and rows. Tomorrow will be more yoga, and maybe, if I can, a short run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 That's some serious weight you're squatting! I have to be so so careful with squats. If I don't do them exactly perfect every single time I'll take out my knee. In fact my knee gives a crunching sound with every squat. I have no idea what it is. It doesn't hurt. It just sounds like a crunching or grinding noise. It's loud. My dh can hear if he's working out next to me. Kind of freaks me out, and I'm not willing to do squats holding more than 5 lbs.

It just sounds like a crunching or grinding noise. It's loud. My dh can hear if he's working out next to me. Kind of freaks me out, and I'm not willing to do squats holding more than 5 lbs. My left knee will do that crunching thing sometimes. My dh told me as long as it doesn't hurt it's fine. He's a doc, but family practice, not really his speciality, but I've been going with it. I have not had any pain. But I do understand about wanting to be careful. You do not want to hurt your knees. Also, this past time I met with the kettlebell trainer he did a FMS (functional movement screen) on me. My only issue was with my right knee (the left is the one that crunches). My knees point in, the right one points in a lot, so it doesn't tract correctly over my foot. I try to "force" it the best I can but it is just wrong. He also didn't think the left knee "crunching" was an issue, as long as it tracked correctly and there was no pain. He wants me to work more on tracking the right one, but it's really a biomechanical issue, it's like it' put on wrong. But I keep trying.

Soror Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Did p90x chest and shoulders last night, modified. I couldn't find legs and back so decided to do just upper body and after upteen sets of pushups and I was getting very fatigued I started doing pull-up sets instead and then switched back and forth when I got fatigued w/ those and then went until I was wore out, it was about 40 minutes. I wore my splint for awhile yesterday as well and did some of the exercises, hopefully today I will do better on this, planning to start Kenpo here soon, working out in the evening leaves us too little time to get everything done. Planning on doing 30-45 min. Kleine I signed up for the fitness blender, it is not the clearest to me though, it seems I can view some videos now.

Soror Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 40 min of Kenpo done- I might try to do something else this afternoon/evening for a bit, we will see how the day goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Good to hear that the knee crunching is not a problem. Still freaky though. I got dressed to run this morning, went outside, and noticed all the weeds overtaking my house. My morning turned into a major weed pulling task. I'm a little achy.

sarawatsonim Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I've started a new regime over the last three weeks, and I swear I have noticed more changed in my body in this short time than I have over the last 8 months. It's much more intense and I am really enjoying the muscle aches............well, to the degree that you can enjoy them ;) Today was Upper Body day and I truly thought my arms were going to give and I was going to break my face while doing the Wall Mountain Climbers. I'm really going to feel it tomorrow. I feel it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to this page and you can choose Plan 1, 2, or 3. It costs $7. I'm almost done with plan 1. I did JM 30 Day Shred level 3 this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 2 Miles of Leslie. Thought to share this. I try to dry brush daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks KH for the tip, I'm checking it out now. I wore my splint 2 hrs yesterday and did several sets of the mummy tummy exercises in the am and evening. I am sore ALL over. Planning to do yoga here shortly, trying to wake up enough. I think I'll do about 30 min but we will see. I want to take a walk or bike today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Oh, Negin, I have the Callenetics dvd myself and put it in last night and did just a little bit :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Brushing? Helps with elasticity? Will it help firm up my stretched out tummy skin? Would this be beneficial on the face or do you skip the face? What type of brush? Fitness Blender Standing abs and Abs and Cardio.....oh my the burpees! Ugh.

Soror Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I did some brushing before and it did seem to help w/ my tummy. I know my belly does look better than it did right after #1, as I didn't get stretch marks with any of my subsequent pregnancies. It was so damaged though it seems so daunting. At least I don't seem to have near as much extra skin as I did though. Short and Sweet Yoga #1 done- 30 min. I couldn't find YogaX but it is a good one, although I did notice it was much easier then when I started it before. I could do almost all the yogic pushups, well until we got to the part where he does several all together. Good workout, worked up a sweat, got my heart rate up, but also stretched my sore muscles.

sarawatsonim Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Legs and butt today followed by 10 minutes of interval skipping and a short yoga stretch routine. Am I the only one who is totally afraid to give it her all in case she ends up accidentally kicking her in-your-face toddler in the head when she walks by? I should start enforcing a rule where they need to put on bike helmets during exercise hour ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 This morning I ran for 3 miles, then did 30 minutes of yoga from YogaGlo. This afternoon I did 40 minutes of kettlebell. The brushing sounds interesting. I just got something to exfoliate, but I may look into the brushes. I have horrible stretch marks, don't know if it would work, but it could be worth trying.

Mom-ninja. Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I have kicked, stepped on, and knocked over each of my kids at some point. The rule is they have to stay out of my way because I can't focus on where they are. If they want to be in the room while I'm working out then they must be aware of the risks. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I only did about 2/3 of my yoga practice yesterday, I simply ran out of time and didn't go back to do the mat/floorwork - but made up for it with 45 minutes of weeding on my slope. (and soaked in a hot bath afterwards) I did a full practice this morning. dudeling used to like crawling all over me. (now I try to do it before he gets up.) I asked him if he wanted a groucy mommy or a nice mommy. he stays out of my way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Not much time this morning to talk about brushing. I don't think it's a magic bullet or anything when it comes to stretch marks. At least that hasn't been my experience. I do it primarily for lymphatic circulation. I try to do it pretty much first thing in the morning. It really wakes me up and helps me get going with the day. I buy my brushes from Target/health food stores. Amazon has some very good ones also. No time for a workout yet. Hope to do a Leslie Walk or something later. Did lots of yoga yesterday afternoon.

Soror Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Did about 20 min this am. 8 min tabata squats/pushups- did about 75 pushups and about the same on squats. Then I did a short brazilian buttlift video and some more squats. I won't be able to sit down tomorrow. We took about an hr walk yesterday, some leisurely, some was a bit more intense- trying to quickly push the stroller up the hill w/ 2 in it and some just a normal pace. I think I'll try to do another short leg workout this evening. The next few days I officially scheduled as off but I'd like to do some pushups/pullups and biking. We haven't went biking in a bit, I'm hoping the baby can sit up in the trailer now as otherwise one of us has to do the stroller, which isn't near as fun as everyone biking together.

PeacefulChaos Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I haven't been around in awhile but thought I'd join in... A good friend and I have signed up for 2 5k runs in September!! :) So I'm super stoked... and we had to start getting ready for them! lol So anyway, this is my second week. Actually maybe more like third? I did take the kids running the first week, but found that it's just a whole lot easier for me to do it on my own - a four year old doesn't exactly make running easy. :p Though it was a good way to get started. Anyway, I ran Tuesday and Thursday mornings for about 30 minutes, alternating walking/jogging (slowly - we started off a little too fast and my shins were KILLING me as of Tuesday morning! But Thursday we slowed it down some and it felt much better!) about 1/4 mile at a time. I'll go again tomorrow. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Not sure if I'll have time to do anything really today. I hope I do something. Slept horribly. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Yesterday I ran 3 miles, then did 90 minutes of gentle yoga in the afternoon. Today is kettlebells. I feel a bit sapped, I have do less rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeacefulChaos Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Got up at 6 again today (ON A SATURDAY?! WHAAATT?!?! lol) and did the usual for this week, jogging/walking 1.8 miles. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine always wants me to stop and look at rocks. I found if he is on his balance bike I can get a bit more jogging done. Not sure if I'll have time to do anything really today. I hope I do something. Slept horribly. :( Hope you feel better soon. My youngest has a cold and I've been up with him the past two nights. Today, is my off day.
