Negin Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Nothing for me today. I had computer issues and I need it in order to do pretty much most of my workouts. I was frustrated and couldn't be bothered. It's all fixed now, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm sorry. I hate how mental exhaustion can equal physical exhaustion. I'm not sure if I'll work out today. I have yet to be properly motivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 So sorry, Negin. That is frustrating. I took a nice 3 mile walk today, and I'm about to go do Yin yoga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Took a quick 3 mile run before church. I need to break out the wool socks. Dh and I took a nice long walk after lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 About to soon do 4 Miles of Leslie. I'm sorry. I hate how mental exhaustion can equal physical exhaustion. So sorry, Negin. That is frustrating. Thank you, Stache and Kim. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Sunday: 3 mile recovery run with a friend. The sunshine was gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Today, WO, stretch, roll. Yesterday I did stretch and skillwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 45 minutes of kettlebell today. It was a 30 minute strength workout, the about 15 minutes of a "fat burning" workout. If I'm lucky, I'll do some restorative tonight before bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Went for a run this morning. Then cleaned the gutters. I figured I was already dirty and now since the time changed I had some light at 7 am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Slache--We are on P90X3. Just started the third month. It is so hard. I did Insanity but I'm a cardio girl so Insanity was easy compared to this for me--but my partner definitely prefers P90s. I want to get T25, have you tried it?

RForest Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Went to the rock climbing gym for an hour and a half last night. Walked the 1.5km there and back as well just for a little extra. Anyone use (adjustable) dumbbells in their workouts? I was thinking of picking up a pair so I have something versatile to use at home but would be interested in other's thoughts. (Looking at the Bowflex SelectTech 552 since they're #1 on comparaboo and it's a name I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 About to soon do some Katy Bowmans (skeptical about them, since most have disappointed - I just want to check them off my list) and then as many Blogilates You Tube videos as I have time for - I'm still a beginner.

VaKim Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I did rebounding yesterday morning, took a long walk (gorgeous day), and later did random moves/steps while watching a show. Got almost 12,000 steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I haven't been posting, sorry. Yesterday I went for a 1 hour walk. Some days I just can't find the gumption to run...but then I complain walking is too slow and boring :lol: DH left this morning for Charleston, and I have been awake since 4:45 when I took him to the airport. I hope that helps me sleep better tonight while he is gone. I don't sleep well to begin with and when he is gone it is a total mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Love hearing about all the different workouts. Yesterday was supposed to be a day off for me but I ended up doing an hour hike around the lake with our new pup. No steep hills but enough gentle inclines that it felt like a mild workout. Sustained movement for an hour's gotta count for something, right? I recently bought new running shoes as my Keen sandals weren't keeping my feet warm enough. I love them! I'll use them today on my hill hike. Plus some gentle yoga. And hanging which oddly I'm really feeling in my lower back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Time for new shoes, Lisa. :) Today was more kettlebell. Lots of lunge variations today, as well as snatch to negative (which is a great exercise) and high pulls. I also did the "abs of steel". On the DVD, she used a skateboard, but we don't have one, so I did everything on my stability ball. Every time I use that thing, I'm reminded how weak my core is. It is so hard to see strength gains in my core. I know it's happening, but it's a slow process. I hope to get a short walk in later while my son is at his piano lesson, and I'm also planning on some yin later, targeting my hips. I did get to so about 20 minutes of yin/restorative last night. It felt good, but didn't help me calm down before bed as I had hoped. :( My late night on Monday (we get home 9:45) makes it hard to sleep well.

rieshy Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Monday: 2 mile run with my 12 yo ds. He told me as we ran that he is starting to see the benefits in his martial arts of running with me. Wahoo! P.m. Martial arts class- I just started heian yodan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yesterday I did Ballet Body upper body and today was core. Tomorrow will be lower body. I must say these dvds are easier for me now than they were a couple years ago when I got them. So go me! Now to drink my tart cherry juice....ouch.

However, I got the PowerBlock because it's what Fitness Blender recommends. Since I love them I figured I'd go with their rec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Slache--We are on P90X3. Just started the third month. It is so hard. I did Insanity but I'm a cardio girl so Insanity was easy compared to this for me--but my partner definitely prefers P90s. I want to get T25, have you tried it? I've done Cathy Smith, Tae Bo, P90X twice, P90X3, and now Insanity. My husband did a T25 and says it would be a major downgrade. If you're bored I would do a hybrid. Insanity plyo and pure with P90X arms and yoga? Or take a kickboxing class! That would be fun. If P90X3 is hard maybe you should do it again? Muahahaha. Ladies, go vote on this thread, lol. Your poll irritated me. I never realized that I'm sore that often until I really thought about it. So thanks. :p Insanity 12/60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickerdoodle Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 WO stretch roll. I think I may be coming down with a cold. NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 How is Heidan Yodan? Is UGHHH for an answer descriptive enough? We ended up doing Thai Combo's last night and never got to Katas. I'm hoping my 12 yo can bring me up to speed today. Unfortunately last night towards the end of class I felt something sinister pull/pop in my left thigh. I skipped kettle bell and iced it- and am going to take a full rest day and hope, hope, hope that it's just a small pull. It doesn't hurt this morning but I feel a bit different in that leg. Sigh. This may be TMI but I have noticed that right before my cycles I am more susceptible to torn muscles. Anyone else experience that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Skipping my workout today, which frustrates me. My cold has taken a turn for the worse, and just sweeping the floor is making me overheat and sweat. My body should not do, "10 minutes of intensity" followed by 30 to 45 minutes of yoga. I hate being sick.:( Reishy, I hope iceing it helps and that it's fine tomorrow. I have more injuries when I'm tired, but I haven't noticed it with my cycles.

Joyofsixreboot Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Kim and Reishy and Snickerdoodle~take care of yourselves. It is so irritating when our bodies don't read our agenda. Yesterday I took as a rest day since I was shoeless :laugh: I borrowed my dd's sneakers today and ran but I wasn't used to them and tripped. I bet that looked spectacular to anyone watching. I now have a skinned knee, a bum hip and a very muddy running outfit. :glare: Dh gets paid on Friday so I'm going to go get some shoes for Pete's sake.

Hikin' Mama Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I've never posted here, but I do read from time to time to pick up workout tips and ideas. I think it was here that I learned about Fitness Blender on youtube (I think I have Mom-ninja to thank for that). What I wanted to say was I just start taking a yoga class and, wow, was I sore the next day, each time! And I work out with weights on a regular basis and teach a Cross Fit class for homeschooled teens, so it's not like my muscles never get worked. I have tried yoga before on my own and thought it was boring. But I love doing the class! There are parts of it that are way more challenging for me than Cross Fit. Now I'm hooked! I even bought myself a block so I can practice some of the balance poses on my own at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shukriyya Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 My hill hike today will be shortened today due to various scheduling issues but I hope to get in some pilates via a streaming video I found on Amazon. Plus some hanging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I skipped Wednesday but today I did Complex Upper and it was crazy. Just crazy. Though I will say this: when I started Beachbody videos, I could not do one push-up and now I can do plyo push-ups. I am VERY proud of myself. Someday, I will do a hand-clap push-up. Maybe when I'm 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shukriyya Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 My shortened hill hike was accompanied by two dogs which makes for a slightly different focus. The one hill we hiked is steep enough for me to feel it though. Later I did a pilates video called 'East into Pilates' available on amazon streaming, free if you're a prime member. I really liked this, a combination of pilates and yoga, gentle but with enough challenge for me to feel it. I'll be adding this to the roster. Also got some hanging in.

Negin Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 I woke up super-early. Felt too tired to do anything. Went back to sleep and now it's too late to workout. Might try to swim later today. I did go swimming a few days ago and it was absolute heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Does it count as working out if one dreams about working out? :lol: I swear I thought was exercising but found myself cuddled in my bed.

You seem to share my workout styles and I would love to get into yoga, but every time I try I would prefer to have an ingrown toenail removed. -------------------------------------------- Insanity 15/60 & 100 Push Up Challenge.
