Laurie4b Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I didn't see another thread, so here goes: Yesterday, was a rest day. Today, it's a good thing I have a Zumba class b/c it's rainy and cold and I would be sorely tempted to just sit in front of the fire. Current plan is to do my rotator cuff exercises and possibly the rest of my upper body workout and go to Zumba. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyBC Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hey there! :seeya: Did 30 minute Zumba toning dvd on Sunday, 40 minute Latin Jazzercize on Monday, came home from work today and got in a quick 20 minute "ab blaster" version of the Jazzercize dvd before laundry, shower, making pizza and taking the kids to the library. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yesterday, I did upper and lower body strength training. Wiped me out! Lower: (Rec. by trainer) deadlifts, squats with weights, single leg deadlifts, cable kickbacks, and a combo of glute bridges plus clamshells with a resistance band. Upper: (Rec by PT) , Rotator cuff (abduction and scaption raises) , incline rows, incline shoulder extensions, and push-ups (both tricep and wide stance) on a Smith machine (I did my first one from about 4 in above the floor this week! Am so excited to possibly get to a real, full length push-up on the floor.) Today will be Zumba. Hopefully, I'll get in 10,000 steps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hallooooo out there, exercising mamas! Check in and let us know what you're up to. I did upper and lower body strength training and got in 10,000 incidental steps. I am beat. I still have a few fairly easy exercises to do that I saved for home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyBC Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Picked up some new Zumba dvds at the library. Wednesday and Thursday I tried out the 30 min. Santao. Great ab workout, really liked it. I have to work on something I'm doing at the very beginning though, because I'm hurting my left lower back. One of the problems of working out at home is no mirrors to watch myself. I like this one, so I'll get dh to watch me this weekend (poor guy) to see where I'm going wrong. Gave the 60 min. Exhilerate another try today. I managed to get past the co-host and costuming a bit better today, and just workout. Hopefully I can get past the mental 'Zumba for strippers' I have created after the first run-through. :tongue_smilie: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some I like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OBUSTrZOMk This has about 4 routines that repeat so abt 15-20 min of different stuff, then it repeats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc8GBmzkI8w and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k3IuQOH01Q All have pretty straightforward moves which I like b/c I can focus more on the exercise. The last one will burn up your legs/glutes. This one is good for jacking up your heartrate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ-c70dkp1c Edited February 26, 2016 by Laurie4b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I guess this is a week in review, 😄 Mon&Tuesday I taught yoga, Wednesday and Thursday were running/elliptical stuff. I ran this morning. That's about all I remember 😠2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyBC Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The thread almost works better that way, doesn't it? It's nice to have two or three days to post about, at least for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Today, I did a slightly less intense strength-training workout and then hiked about 2 hours. Saw the first spring wildflowers! Edited February 27, 2016 by Laurie4b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
