[CabCalloway]

April is 6 days away but I guess I'm in.

[CharM]

I only had 2 rest days in March?! I vow to sleep in more this month. haha we'll see how that goes

1. The Toning Transformation - Total Body Tone + Sweat and Strengthen -- just done alone, they may not work you out much, but I got a good sweat going back to back. S&S: one minute cardio, and 2 strength exercises w/reps in the 20-40 range
2. BellyFit Elements - Water - just the standing part, 40 minutes. first time doing this particular workout, it wasn't fun but neither did I hate it
3. Drop Set Strength - legs, back + 10 minute Leslie lower body
4. 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk - miles 1,2, and 4 plus cool down. I felt lazy today.
5. slept in, then had a lazy day
6. 2x4 Upper & Lower Body - part of Paul Katami's 4x4 set, which I recently purchased from ebay. It was short and not too intense, but good enough to feel the muscles working. But I realized I didn't have much energy left to do the second workout, Cardio & Core. I only did the warmup before realizing that I probably shouldn't continue. I did have enough energy for a quick 10 minute Leslie walk.
7. JS Interval Mix + 10 minutes Cardio Party - used the bosu for the plank work on interval mix to work the abs
8. Body Shop workout 2, JS 10:30 min walk; 30 minute outdoor walk : Dear VF diary, is it wrong that I smiled when I saw that AMD got sore from her walk? She is human after all! I think there's been speculation and debate for some time and so I consider this hard evidence of her humanity. On another note, I get frustrated when my "edit" button for this post is gone. What the heck?! Oh, it's Cher's post I'm trying to edit.
9. KCM Cardio + Build & Burn Kickboxing - the Cardio is from the Cardio Pump dvd and I added on the kickboxing only premix from B&B. I'd forgotten that I liked this. I think I'll get re-acquainted with the B&B workouts.
10. KCM Build & Burn - lower/kb premix - why don't I do these workouts more? I think because I didn't like the outfits and that the workouts are short, but I can always add on to them. After doing the premix, I went back to the lower body workout to do the bridge chapter and the cool down.
11. nothing, just a short walk around the neighborhood. it's weird having to walk on the street when someone's approaching, or for them to take the street.
12. Build & Burn Trim & Tone Intervals, Gina B. MJ Mix KCM's workout was ok. I guess I just wasn't feeling it. I also wasn't feeling this at first, but then when it started to feel fun, she announced it was almost over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69TODKekkLQ
13. Build & Burn Upper Body Supersets, 10 minute Leslie - i hate when I feel like a wimp like I did this morning. I used 8s for the first shoulder exercise, and it felt so easy, so for the second exercise I kept this weight and could barely finish the 8th rep. I dropped to 5s for that exercise. Then for biceps I grabbed 10s even though I can use 15s for most biceps exercises, but nope, even 10s felt challenging but I kept them.
14. 2 mile Leslie - it's all I could do. I'm having some terrible female issues, going to talk to my gyn tomorrow morning. This happened once in late 2017 and I'm sure it was due to a stressful situation then as it is now. Stupid body.
15. TA Beginner Mat, Jazzercise Burlesque - feeling better this morning, I guess just the mere threat of a doctor appointment, even if by phone, got my body to shape up. haha TA chair sequence + Burlesque 20 minute premix. doc says she's not too worried since I'd had a biopsy 2.5 years ago, but would like for me to have another once SIP is lifted. prescribed some meds to stop what's happening
16. Slept in, couldn't drag myself out of bed. Late morning I went out to hack away at weeds for a little over 30 minutes, and my body didn't like the vigorous activity. It's almost as bad as it was the other day.
17. Prevention Total Body Blast, Leslie mile - TBB is part of Sadie Lincoln's Love Your Lower Body set and it was just about half hour. Later I did 2 Leslie walks from YouTube, one of which was led by Nadyia.
18.. no workout, just yanking weeds for a few minutes, I didn't want to overdo it
19. Skinny Sculpt, Leslie - I'd forgotten how much I like Ellen. I did her workouts a lot last summer but hadn't touched them since. I'm going to start again since they're not too strenuous.
20. I slept in again. oh my god, be careful what you wish for. At the top of this post I said I'd sleep in, but I wanted it to be by choice, not because I'm so tired. Stupid body. Anyway, I went out to yank weeds in the front yard which took forever for just one spot. I'll finish up tomorrow. AMD - don't you hate when you can't not keep looking at the people with poor form? haha your post made me laugh
21. Crunch Burn & Firm Pilates, Burlesque - only the standing part of the B&F workout. I remember that I liked this, but when I was doing it, I couldn't figure out why. Burlesque 10 minute abs & booty, which was actually under 9 minutes, I felt ripped off. haha I added my favorite chapter to make up for it. I also yanked at more weeds in the front. I'm not done yet. I don't know why we let it get so bad. Now I wonder what you're all thinking it looks like. The weeds aren't tall, nor is my whole yard one giant covering of weeds, they're mostly in cracks and at certain parts of the yard, but they're stubborn.
22. Fat Burning Fusion - I guess I'll be seeing more of Ellen this week. This has a lot of interesting moves and twists. I'll keep an eye on how my back feels, I don't remember having problems in the past, but the body can be fickle.
23. Slim Sculpt - I think I like this more than Skinny Sculpt. night: bent over to flush the toilet and this awful, painful feeling of an electric shock hit my mid spine, then tightness came to the low back. I straightened out but was afraid to move. I took some ibuprofen and iced it. I feel like I jinxed myself.
24. April 2020, you can go to hell. This month I've had several days of visual auras, weird feelings in my arms which went away quickly, anxiety, and gyn issues. Now my lower back is stiff, which I don't expect will go away any time soon, my left foot hurts for some reason, and I burned my finger. Other than that, I'm dandy! I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but I can't wait for this month to be over.
25. nothing, I'm not about to make things worse.
26. nope, not even tempted. ok, I'm tempted but I won't give in.
27.
28.

April

1. My mom’s fitness instructor friend did a live workout on Facebook so I did that.

2. Cathe 4DS High Impact Step....all except blasts, then 4DS Low Impact Step combos all combos....no blasts or combined combos. I went for a 30 minute walk in the afternoon.

3. ICE Metabolic Total Body Mish Mosh premix and 35 minute walk in the afternoon.

4. Jenny Ford Step Across America South Carolina

5. 25 minute walk outside

6. Jessica Smith’s 10 minute Powered Up Walk, Cathe’s Fit Tower Advanced workout that came with my FT and Travis Eliot 10 minute Yin Yoga workout.

Trying to fill in by memory I started feeling sort of depressed and sad being cooped up and needing to be around people besides DH and DS.....we were getting on each other’s nerves which, unfortunately, made me not want to workout either.

7. Jenny Ford Virginia Step

8. 35 minute walk

9. Leslie’s 30 Minute Weight workout

10. 40 minute walk

11. Jenny Ford March Across America Utah

12. Easter - Felt sad that I couldn’t spend Easter with my parents or my sister. We did FaceTime in the afternoon and had a glass of wine with each other. went for a 25 minute walk.

Started feeling a bit more back to normal. I think the whole issue last week was not being able to be with the rest of my family on Easter but especially my parents and my sister. We usually get together with everyone on my mom’s side of the family......aunts, uncles, cousins so staying home with just the 3 of us felt really odd and not like Easter.

13. About 25 minutes of Cher’s Dance workout on YouTube, the Cathe’s Lite Body Weight & Bands lower body exercises, then my own stretching.

14. Leslie’s Purple & Yellow Walks and Cathe’s Original Bootcamp Upper Body Premix.

15. Cathe IMax 4 step combos only premix.

16. Had to go to the dreaded grocery story so got up early and went so no workout. Later went for a 20 minute walk despite being pretty chilly out.

17. Cathe’s Lite Body Weight & Bands and my own stretching.

18. Cathe Step Sync Mish Mosh premix # 1.....this was fun! I love Step Sync! This premix was the warm-up, the bonus step section, combos 1 & 2 and cool down. I also did a few extra hip stretches. I also went for about a 30 minute walk in the afternoon just to get out of the house.

19. About a 40 minute walk.

20. I started LITE PHA 2 and after I just finished the first round of exercises, the power went out. Since I have my notebook with each workout, I just did the 2nd set of exercises on my own then tacked on some fire walkers and clam shell with a band, then my own stretch and called it a day. I also went for about a 25 minute walk later in the day.

21. Leslie’s Blue & Red Mileand LITE Cardio Party Calorie Crush.

22. Jessica Smith Happy Hiit and STS Total Body Upper Only Premx.

23. Jane Fonda Lower Body Solution....I did 15 minutes, didn’t like it so put in Step Sync Combo #3, then back to Lower Body Solution and did the floor work.

24. Step Sync warm-up and combos 1& 2 and Push Pull squats and deadlifts. Then stretching on my own.

25. 40 minute walk.

26. 30 Minute walk (It was windy and cold). Travis Elliot 10 minute Yin Yoga from YouTube.

27. My own mix of standing and floor work from Gym Style Legs

28. SJP Step combos only premix and STS Total Body Upper Body Only premix and went for about a 30 minute walk early evening because it was so nice out and supposed to have rain for the next couple days.

29. IMax 4 Intervals 1 - 5 premix. First time doing any of the blasts. Man, I’m so out of shape but it was fun anyway!

30. My own shortened version of Cathe Cardio & Weights. Also used heavier weights on the compound exercise and not doing the upper work to focus more on the lower body.

[tangerine]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this check-in, thought I'd give this month a try since I'm working out more consistently now.

I'm planning to add some more silly holidays to my list later, keeps me motivated/amused.

April 1 - Tracy Anderson Method Express Arms
April 2 - Kettlenetics KB Elements + Firm Calorie Killer + Leslie Sansone 5 Really Big Miles (only 20 minutes as a final steady state workout)
April 3 - Youtube Cardio Core 10 mins + Cardio Sculpt Blaster + 20 mins of Leslie 5 Really Big Miles
April 4 - Cardio Core 20 minutes + 20 minutes floorwork all off YT
April 5 - Rest day
April 6 - Prevention Walk Your Way Slim
April 7 - HasFit 35 minute HIIT workout off YT + 15 mins stretching/yoga
April 8 - Hasfit 35 minute no-repeat HIIT workout off YT + 20 minutes Leslie Sansone's "Fast Walk" (ignoring her steps and doing my own moves mostly)
April 9 - Effortless Health Low Impact HIIT off YT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMXyQsgNqLs&t=516s)
April 10 - Firm Complete Aerobics and Weight Training
April 11 - 20 mins Sydney Cummings HIIT/Kickboxing + 35 mins Yvette kickboxing + 15 minute Leslie Fast walk + 15 minute stretch
April 12 - Walk on Your Wild Side Day - postponed, unexpected rest day
April 13 - Walk on Your Wild Side Day - Richard Simmons 60s Blast Off + Leslie Sansone 2 mile walkaerobics
April 14 - Live Step Workout with Jenny Ford - this one is tough, I loved it! I had risers on my step though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGHB1p040Ak
April 15 - Went to the store today, so many people way too close (to each other and me) and wearing masks - masks do not make you immune to the virus, people!! Anyway I had a lot of neck and shoulder tension, I had to do a stretch. I found this one on YT and really liked it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9LnAebTl8U&t=1094s
April 16 - Newbody with Coach MO YT (love it!) + Hasfit 30 minutes Standing Abs and Low Impact Cardio + Classical Stretch Season 8 Ep 820 Posture
April 17 - Not enough sleep and too much pollen - Slim Series Cardio Core - Debbie's cuing is terrible in this one, she cues right when she starts the move. So I always miss at least one rep on the starting side of every new move. Only thing worse is not cuing at all. >:[ Good core workout though.
April 18 - Another low energy day, wish I could shake it off. Doesn't help that I workout in the afternoon after lunch when one gets drowsy but have to work around my kiddo's schedule so what can you do. 60 minutes of cardio + weights, various workouts off YT, none of them memorable. I did buy Jenny Ford's Freedom Fit Vol 1 so I will try to get in a step workout tomorrow.
April 19 - Yay finally got a step workout in. Jenny Ford Aspen Trail - I LOVED combos 1 and 2, 3 was okay, I wasn't a fan of the turn step but this sequence is fun, I'll be doing it again. Also a new yoga channel that I found called Yogini Melbourne (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUK...mjn2W2tJRJWeew) - I like yoga with calm and soothing voices and hers is fantastic. I did a hip-opener sequence and a shoulder sequence - felt so good and stretched out.
April 20 - No workout, had a 2 hour webinar in the afternoon.
April 21 - Another 2 hour webinar (part 2 really) but managed to fit in 20 mins - 10 mins Andrea Orbeck Circuit and Tracy Anderson Express Arms
April 22 - 60 mins YT dance toning - super fun and the time flew by. It wasn't an intense workout but I just felt so GOOD afterwards for a long time. It was some kind of awesome afterglow. I hope I can replicate that again sometime!
I started to do Firm Power Half Hour with Emily after the hour but Emily is not a good cuer and sounds so rushed in this and also the express workouts, I quit 5 minutes in. I only like her in CAWT I think.
April 23 - 20 mins Hasfit HIIT - a lot of up and downing for me in this one. Jenny Ford Basic with 3 combos - my HR was through the roof! I think she labels by step complexity rather than exertion. I enjoyed it, fun one! 20 minutes of stretching.
April 24 - 20 minutes PiYo, 1 hour vinyasa flow from Floating Yoga SChool - must revisit this one soon, it's awesome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZRvdbG54H4
April 25 - Rest day cancelled, did a 20 minute low impact workout because I was restless
April 26 - National Pretzel Day - Barlates Outer Thigh Blitz and Barlates Inner Thigh Blitz
