Yeah... Tomorrow is Friday!!!

Yeah, tomorrow is Friday. So happy the weekend is near.

Well, this morning was cardio and I did the warm-up and Cardio Only premix from the original Bootcamp and followed that with Cardio Core Circuit (I skipped the warm up in CCC).  So yesterday my legs were still a little sore from STS Total Body on Monday and then yesterday High Reps.....needless to say my legs and glutes were still sore today.  The blasts in Cardio Core Circuit were a little tough on the legs but I made it through. It was a tough workout today but it felt great.  I pushed myself and did it!!   I love this workout! I love the cardio blasts and if you think you're going to get a break with the core work, you are mistaken.

So, how did you do today... did you kick some butt??!?!??!?!

Just remember just because the weekend is coming doesn't mean you can slack off. If anything, you should have more time to work harder and longer.  Come on.. I dare you!!! :-)

Until next time!

Wednesday was the day for High Reps

Happy Wednesday!!  We're half way through the week. Yeah.. couple more days and the weekend is here!!

I started my Wednesday out with High Reps. I was concerned how I was going to do because my legs and glutes were still sore from STS Total Body. I had a pretty workout.  The leg work was a little difficult, especially the squats. I pushed them out and did the best I could.  The other thing I had a tough time with was the push ups.  I started out strong and then we did chest flys and I went heavier then what Cathe suggested and then we had another round of push-ups and I had to break down and go to my knees.  Yeah, I'll be feeling this tomorrow.  I love this workout though.  My list of Cathe favs keeps growing. :-)

How was your workout?  Did you push yourself to go longer or harder?  Come on, you know you can do it!!

Keep the sweat rolling!

Intensity Tuesday!!

Hi my followers!

Today I woke up at 2am ready and raring to go... but if I would have gotten up at 2am to workout I think my dear husband would have crowned me.  I stayed in bed for another hour and got up at my normal 3am. Got myself situated and headed down to my basement to get my workout in. 

I happily put in Cathe's Intensity.  I just so love this workout.  My legs and butt were sore from STS Total Body on Monday but I gave it my all and did pretty good. At least it seemed like it anyway. :-)  As much as I love this workout, I'm still not a fan of air jacks.  I love to hate them.  They are hard for me but man do they get my heart rate up there.  Those and jump tucks. 

I want to thank those of you that are leaving comments.  I love hearing from you and what your workouts are and how they are going.  Keep it up, please!!

What did you do today for your workout?  Did you push yourself?   Come on, you know you can do it!!

Keep pushing and keep moving!

Until next time!!

Happy Monday

Hi!!
I put my rotation together for the week.  Today was Cathe's STS Total Body. If you've never done this workout before, I highly recommend that you do.  This is an excellent overall Total  Body workout.  The tri-sets really work the muscles good. One thing that I would find very beneficial is if you write down what weights you used for each exercise.  It would be good for a few reasons.  One you know where you started and will easily be able to see your improvements as time progresses; second it will make your workout smoother knowing what weights to use.

Did you get your workout in today? If not.... what are you waiting for... come on and get moving. 

If you're feeling things are tough, don't give up.  You can do it!!   I know everyone has there days when they really don't feel like working out but tell yourself you can do it.  Once you get started and get moving it'll get better and before you know it the workout will be done and you'll feel so much better that you did workout.

Keep moving!!

Finished the week off with.......

On Friday I changed things up a bit and instead of doing the High Impact Step from the 4DS, I did Cathe's HiiT Pyramid workout and followed that with all combos and cool down from HIS and then went into the Chest and Back workout from the 4DS.  Had a great workout. I pushed it a little harder on the weights and I felt it on Saturday. 

Saturday for my last workout day of the week I did Cardio Coach Press Play on the elliptical and got in 10.6 miles.  I absolutely love that workout.  Granted I push harder then what he tells us to but it's all good.
:-)

I have today to figure out what my rotation is going to be for next week.  I'll figure it out. 

Friday night I did start previewing Insanity.  OMG!!  Not sure when I'm going to start that rotation.  Should be interesting.  Looking forward to it though.

What have your workouts been the last few days.  Just because the weekend is here, I hope your not slacking off.   Come on, get up and get moving!  Spring is coming and I know you want to look good in those shorts and spring dresses.

Keep moving and enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

4DS Bootcamp, Biceps, & Triceps and Kickbox Extreme

So my workout yesterday was Cathe's 4 Day Split Bootcamp, biceps, and triceps.  Love this workout. I really love Bootcamp. The Bootcamp is the cardio and we do drills with short rests in between. The drills are fun. They are short but they get your hear rate up there.  Then we follow with an awesome bicep and tricep workout.  The arms were tired by the time I was done. 

Today I had all cardio and I decided to change things up a bit and did Amy Bento's Kickbox Extreme.  In this workout she does 5 kickboxing combos with intervals after each combo.  It's a fun workout with a good combination of punches, kicks, jumps.  Love it!!! Cathe's still my fav but I do really like some of Amy's workouts too.

Guess what... I got it... finally... I got INSANITY!!!  It arrived yesterday.  I need to watch the one DVD and the first workout of it is the fit test.  That should be interesting.   Can't wait to preview the DVD's and get started.  You will get to share the experience with me. YEAH!!!!

Who worked out today?  What did you do?   Please share it with me. :-)

Yeah tomorrow is Friday!! 

Have a great night!!

4 Day Split Kickbox, Legs, and Abs

Today I did 4 Day Split Kickbox, Legs, and abs. We had a little over a 1/2 hr of kickboxing, which I love and then a great leg workout. I went heavier then I usually do on some exercises.  My glutes were already feeling it today. The leg workout in this DVD is a great overall workout.  This is the one she does the low plane lunges in that I love to hate so much. :-)  Those get me in the glutes really good. Then we finish off with a good ab workout and a well deserved stretch.

Is anyone out there.... what was your workout today?  I had one comment yesterday which was great to see.

Get up off that couch and get moving!!

Didn't work out today... don't beat yourself up over it, tomorrow is another day.  Don't let me down... get that workout in.

Keep moving!!
