1.
MetaShred 6 Pack Supersets - I don't know why I thought using a 25 lb dumbbell would be a good idea, but I did and no, I didn't use it the whole time. I dropped to a 15, which is when I remembered that I'd used a 15 the first (and only) time I'd done this dvd. I was sweating like crazy and my heart rate was up there.
2.
KCM Boxfit, Jessica 6 Mile Mix - not the whole workouts, of course! BF Strength, but I subbed some of the lower body moves for something different because my quads are sore from yesterday's workout. I also did side planks instead of the full body sit-ups because I think my back doesn't like them. I added Jessica's Steady Burn to finish it off.
3. lazy, and also my lower body was so very, very sore.
4.
KCM Super Sculpt - drills and step-ups premix - I decided that rather than go with a higher step (TransFirmer) and use 12s, I'd use my full step and risers (only 10") and use 15s. This made me sweat! Leslie 10 minute Flexibility Walk.
5.
pulled weeds for about an hour. we shouldn't have an hour's worth of weeds to pull, should we?
6.
Prenatal Physique - upper cardio sculpt, lower body + Flippin kickboxing 10 minute lower body
7. nothing, house is too hot, had to close windows because the air quality is bad again
8.
lower body and abs - JS 6 mile mix lower body, A Bottom Line & A Core Defined - Bottom Activation 1 and 2; Flippin Core Intermediate
9.
upper body - My right heel started hurting (sporadically) a few days ago, so I did exercises that allowed me to lie down or sit. Jari's R&C chest press, pushups, flyes, skull crushers, pullovers, biceps and hammer curls.
10. nothing - yikes! I'm not off to a good start this month.
11.
Super Sculpt premix Friday! There was no "band and drills" premix, and I was super bummed! And then I saw "Drills and Band", and all was right with the world. Not true, but you know how it feels when you get to do the workout you had in mind. Finished with Flippin Abs - Intermediate. I think I'm going to do Flippin Fridays from now on.
12.
Sexy Saturday - I started out with Jazzercise Burlesque, where she cues a "sexy walk", so from there, I thought, "Ok, this will be a Sexy Saturday". I did the 20 minute quick fix workout and then added "Your Sexy Everything" - glutes, tabata (the dvd has a tabata tutorial that I thought I wouldn't need. It turns out I did), finished with the stretch. YSE has the "3,2,1, rest" sound that I'd been hearing on the KCM Super Sculpt dvd. I actually like it.
13.
Jillian - Beginner Shred workout 2, plus Chris F. GYBB - Yoga
14.
Meta Monday - MetaShred 6 Pack Supersets. This time I used a 20 instead of a 25, and it was still tough. Ugh, I dropped to 15 again for the static lunges and lunges. I've only done 2 MS workouts, because I'm too scared to try the rest. Cathe Afterburn warm up and cool down, stretch.
15.
XTF Toning Tuesday - upper & supersets, finished off with Chris F. GYBB Core. "Are you ready for a challenge?" *Gulp* Nope! I was right. After tiring out my upper body, I had trouble with those plank variations. I had to modify or take a rest.
16.
Walk On Wednesday - JS Latin Dance Walk + 10 minute Dance Walk; backyard weeding
17. nothing, too tired from walking and weeding
18.
Flippin Friday - I used the 10 minute kickboxing combo workout as my warm up. Her cuing is flippin terrible in this and it's also the workout where she takes a flippin break like right after teaching us some combos. I kept going. I then did the 20 minute strength circuit, which she warns you will be done 3x, but apparently I'd quickly forgotten so you can imagine what flippin words went through my mind when she said we had to go through it one last time. There's no cool down or stretch, so I played the warm up to keep track of time and did my own stretches.
19. No official workout, but we decided to leave the county for fun (other than one visit to our parents, we hadn't been anywhere). We went to Monterey (hadn't been there since January), parked at the wharf, and walked until we got to Pacific Grove. It's a few miles but didn't feel like it until the way back. We didn't walk through Fisherman's Wharf or Cannery Row because it was crazy packed (no pun intended). I don't know why I thought there'd be fewer people than normal at this time of the year. We also had our first meals out in MONTHS; we'd only had a takeout pizza ONE time, and I think we overdid it. But damn, I'd been craving a burger so bad, and it had bacon! I hadn't had bacon, either, because I don't like cooking it. This was our test run to see if we still want to go to Lake Tahoe next month. If we do, I'm going to have to watch the food since we're not used to eating out.
20. stomach wasn't happy, headachy, probably from the food, but I'd do it again for the bacon
21.
Fit @ 40+ " - because I know my limits and I'm sure Meta Monday would have killed me. I did the warm up, full body workout, back stretch (love this one, I should do it more), and cool down.
22.
Leslie - 2 miles + 10 minute Brisk & Steady. Whoever taught me to count did a bad job. I'm constantly putting in the wrong dates; I just noticed I skipped 20. OMG, after hitting "save", I noticed I skipped 23, too! fixing it now.
23. turns out, it doesn't matter that I left out 23 because I didn't work out today anyway.
24.
Sadie Lincoln Prevention - Love Your Lower Body Inches Off Belly, Butt, Hips, & Thighs - is this the longest title ever? Good lord. I did the Total Body Transformation (another long name!) workout.
25.
Flippin Friday - 20 minute Flippin Knockout Rounds. Poor cuing, uneven reps ... Uh, lots of bad things going through my head because of this and because I couldn't sleep those last 15 minutes before the alarm was to go off. I finally just shut up and put some effort into what I was doing. I then did the 10 minute Lower Body Combinations which starts off with slow front kicks that makes you work on your balance. I really felt the glutes and quads with all the front and back kicks. I also did Core - Intermediate.
26.
Sexy Saturday - I didn't feel like working out, but then Burlesque caught my attention so I had to do it. I did the 20 minute, then added the 10. I don't know why I don't just do it all.
27. nothing. again.
28.
Moonday because I worked the glutes. haha I crack me up. XTF Toning Lower + Supermodel Butt & Thighs 20 minute mat workouts. I don't have a "hipster" band, so I thought it would be an excellent idea to grab a 6 foot band, halve it, and tie it. The darn thing barely moved! But I hate to stop and rewind, so I kept it, all the while crying and taking breaks (right side). For the left side, I used less resistance, which made the moves easier, right? No! I still stopped to cry and pat my behind to console it. And then FINALLY we got a break by doing bridges and stuff on all fours.
29.
KCM Cardio Pump Cardio Shoulders & Arms premix. This was a little more challenging than I expected. My arms were feeling pumped and getting tired during the weight chapters; maybe because I'd been using them to punch? It's the evening as I type this and I feel sore.
30.
Body Blast - Butt Series 1 and 2. It's the end of the month so I thought I'd work the back end. I don't want those uneven buns that
T2B mentioned. lol I thought I'd done these before, but I must not have done them back to back, because I think I'd remember something so painful. This was worse than the Supermodel workout.
I want to cheat and count this as my "scary" workout, but I'd only be cheating myself.
