Erica- I'll have to try that Chris & Edi workout if you like it so much. I'll probably do it like you do- upper body only. I usually don't do their lower body workouts as there is usually calf work. I guess I could just skip it, but that is a pain to stop and move to the next move. Wow. How spoiled I sound. I remember having to fast forward through VCR tapes back in the day!
You know that feeling when you finish a tough workout and feel really accomplished? Well the workout I did today gave me that feeling. I did DC Fitt- 50 Minute Total Body Strength & Cardio Superset Bootcamp Workout. I lift heavier than Deanna does, but I don't do the moves as fast as she does, either. After the 4th superset I was really breathing heavy, but I pushed through.

Sorry I've been MIA. You guys are so dedicated to your workouts. No workout Thursday or Friday for me. It was cloudy and rainy all week and even darker than normal on my drive home. It just made me SO tired and unmotivated. Today I did a Cathe Live Warm Up then I did DanielPT Fitness 40 Minute Combination Full Body DB Workout. It was excellent. I followed that with a 10 minute stretch. Then I went to the store to get cookie makings, and went to my Girls Pint Out Book Club Cookie Exchange.
You guys are an inspiration!

Hey there,
Although I'm not super chatty, I do so like a good fitness chat and since I'm checking out your workouts I thought I would post. Today I did Caroline Girvan 30 min Constant Cardio, a 60 min pilates workout over at the Trifecta Membership and 5 min of 4-7-8 breathing meditation. I'm doing a Pilates teacher training so have been alternating those workouts with full body and am in the process of adding in more cardio. How does everyone pick their workouts since it doesn't seem as if you're doing a set 'rotation'?

Today I did a good old- school step workout from Stepping Around the World with Marci. It was her Fall Step workout. It was nice to learn the different combos and then repeat from the top as a new combo is learned. My brain needed a workout today, too.

Today I did Chris and Edi 40 MIN UPPER BODY BUILD WORKOUT with DUMBBELLS up until the core work and then I did chest/back on my own for a bit. Good workout but wasn't my favorite. I'll probably do it one more time and then be done with it since there are so many other workouts I like better. I like their workouts since I feel like I'm going really heavy and there's enough time during the work periods to get enough reps in.
Hi buffmama! I probably won't be much help since I'm only using youtube for split strength and spin workouts right now. I used to use a variety of cardio workouts but not since my foot surgery. So I just alternate between upper and lower, with upper being either total body or different splits. I usually choose between Caroline, Tiff/Dan, Chris and Edi, or Daniel PT. I try to keep a list of workouts I've done and liked and go back to them if there's nothing new I want to try. I agree with Wendy about Caroline's cardio - it can be brutal and I admire anyone who does it! Wendy - thank you SO much for your kind words and support. It means a lot. It's really hard because I feel so trapped by my workouts. The exercise/eating issues have truly ruined my life. It's very sad - life is too short to devote so much time and energy into things that really don't matter. But I don't know how to fix it. I've gotten lots of compliments on my dedication to exercise or my body when I'm thin and it always makes me super uncomfortable because it's unhealthy physically and mentally. When I was thinner (pre-op), I had a lot of medical issues that were caused by my being so lean and active but my doctors thought my weight/shape was great and never connected my low weight/body fat with my medical issues. Society is way too focused on being thin! I could never choose my workouts the day of!!! That would give me a nervous breakdown. I'm always all set up a few days ahead and will modify if something new is posted that interests me but I don't think I ever do them the day they are posted. Glad you had a fun step workout! Oops - I wrote a novel. Hi Angela! Erica |
