Hi Everyone!
Bee, I did the same Circuit Burn premix last week. I agree that Kelly can really spike your heart rate. And for me I don't realize it until afterwards. I remember the last time I did Shape Up my heartrate was through the roof! It was hard! Sorry that you and
KB had some bad trading experiences. And for a workout dvd?!? I just don't get people who take advantage of others.
Kittybug durn if I didn't have that Jessica dvd and got rid of it.
I remember the set being different. It looked like Jessica was in an office building with the water feature for ambience. I also love her 10 lbs Down Better Body Blast (green cover) and Cardio Abs. And I'm kicking myself in the pants because I used to see Jessica's dvds quite a bit in HPB. I passed because I wasn't interested at the time. Now that I'm looking for them, I can't find them. Hopefully they'll cycle back through.
Cataddict LOL on your "cat v elliptical" battle! I'm glad you had victory since you were able to stay longer than the youngster! You still got it!
Good luck with the bikes. They can be a pain in the (ahem) - literally! When I was still going to the gym I decided to ride the bike instead or running on the dreadmill. So I ride for about 45 minutes-1 hour, and I had two spots on each cheek that were rubbed raw!!
It hurt for days!! Now I should mention that I was probably wearing running shorts, so maybe if I had been wearing clothing more appropriate for riding the bike it wouldn't have been so bad. I haven't been on a bike since. HA!
Workouts:
Last Friday I tried a Kit Rich workout called 30 Minute Full Body Burner with Celebrity Trainer Kit Rich. It was a good, quick cardio, probably steady state but does have some high intensity moves. It was a good workout, but not sure I'll return to it. The guy doing the “advanced” moves didn’t always do the advanced version. He started with the advanced move and would then join Kit for the regular move. Then I did Kit's Reset: Relaxing Evening Stretch + Gratitude Routine (No Equipment) w/ Kit Rich and it felt really good. I would do this stretch again.
Saturday I did Sharon Twombly All Body Attack CIA 2704 for the first time. It was hard! And long! I skipped abs at the end since I was running out of time and the regular workout was about 70 minutes, but I did do the stretch at end of workout. What I found hard about this workout were the speed moves. Some of them seemed really fast, especially using the step with 2 risers. So I figured I wasn't doing the modified low impact move, but I wasn't going as fast as Sharon. I was in between. And instead of using the step for the toning (I guess?) section, I used the Firm sculpting stick. The moves seemed awkward holding the step. I really liked this workout and would do it again for a long workout.
Monday's (Labor Day) workout was RC Fitness Official Live: Cardio Kick / 1 Hour (1/12/21). I LOVED it!! It would qualify as a Fun Friday workout! There was quite a bit of jumping, but the instructors showed the low impact move.
There are 2 instructors-Rachael and Christina, hence RC Fitness. They traded leading the workout while the other one did low impact/modified move. They are both good instructors, but of course I liked one better than the other. This was a great high energy cardio workout with good music. I liked that they adjusted the volume of the music throughout the workout. It seemed turned up & down in the right spots. There were a few times the workout froze (maybe because it’s a Live workout?) so I did the base move until video caught back up. It was only a few places and didn't affect the workout as a whole. I would recommend this one and will be trying some of their other workouts!
Tuesday I did Tracie Long's Staying Power. I don't remember having done this workout before and I'm wondering why??? I really liked it! And I was sore the next morning, which was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. I liked that there is alot of variety in this workout. Tracie uses a med ball, weights, there's floorwork at the end. I really like that in most of Tracie's workouts she includes floorwork at the end. She doesn't include alot of floorwork (sometimes wish there was more) but I definitely need it. I also like that Tracie does alot of functional moves. My body seems to like that.
Yesterday I did Jessica Smith Full Length Metabolic Conditioning Workout (40-minute fat burning, strength, cardio) before having to scoot out the door for Bible Study. It was a good workout. Perfect for yesterday when I wanted a quick, efficient workout that didn't wipe me out but left me feeling like I did workout.
Today will be CL. Yay!
Hope everyone has a great day!
