    I'm always swearing up a storm at Pixel Trainer Girl. I'm glad it's not just me. And I'm glad she's just pixels, or I'd have a restraining order against me! :laugh:

    I think I may have had my HRM on wrong...haha.
    Work out last night:
    Avg HR: 145 (really low considering what I did)
    Cal burned: 130
    Time: 23 min

    My HRM always seems to slip when I'm doing the sprints or something to that affect....the one exercise that raises my heart rate a lot and it does't track!!! I figured out where the thing needed to be in order to track me better and STAY PUT.

    Oh and I use the dude trainer. I think I chose him because the chick looked annoying. haha My husband uses the woman trainer and he hates her. lol

    Today I did workout 8 of the 9 week program. It was lower body and included lots of mountain climbers. For some reason I got through them all without too much complaining. I went over my calories/carbs the last 2 days so I'm trying to get back on track. I think i'm going to do another exercisetv workout tonight since I took two days off the week.

    34;57 minutes
    188 calories burned
    avg heart rate 142.

    You can see what exercises are coming up for the day before the workout starts. When I first click on start the workout it shows me a graph with the projected calorie burn (or something...it's a graph I don't pay much attention to), Sometime after that it shows each exercise coming up. You can even unclick them if you don't want to do it.
    I meant for future workouts. I like to see the workouts the day before to mentally prepare for what's coming. LOL

    Yesterday's workout: #26
    39 Minutes
    252 Calories
    136 Avg. HR
    194 Max HR

    Yesterday was TOUGH. It was a lower-body day and boy, did my legs pay. Yikes.

    Today was a rest day so of course I sucked it up and worked out anyway. I'm a glutton for punishment that way.

    My Trainer Workout - Full Body (Easy)
    Calories: 239.5
    Avg HR: 139
    Time: 28:08
    Max HR: 166

    I looked ahead and it looks like the 9-week program gets progressively more intense the further you go... every week the workouts get a little longer. It's a bit intimidating but I know I can do it!

    I quoted myself because the wii is tormenting me, because I did this workout so late at night, it counted for today meaning the wii thinks I missed yesterday and I had to do the one I hated all over again :O

    Time 38.41

    cals 246

    :(

    Uuugh. I HATE HATE HATE split squats because that stupid hussy thinks I'm not standing STILL enough when I'm as STILL as I can be without falling over! My feets hurt today. :( lol.

    9 week program Workout 4 on Hard

    Cals: 179.8
    Time: 35:23 (stupid split squats took almost 3 mins each set)
    MHR: 172
    AHR: 139

    I also did the fit test today.. I think my AHR was 120 and my cool down time was 2 mins.. and I burned 29 calories or something. I did get to input my 2 pounds lost since last week though, *yay*!

    Hope everyone has an awesome week. Today sucked for me; I hope I have more energy tomorrow.

    I had a rest day today but did trainer generate workout on Easy for 25 min

    Easy is not that much different from Hard LOL I was surprised. I was feeling a bit stiff and sore this morning so thought I'd do something but still give myself a break.... unless the Wii has decided I've been doing everything on hard so i might as well not get an easy workout haha

    Time 25min
    Calories 130

    Today was back to the 9 week program.

    9 Week Program Easy Workout 05
    Calories: 199.9
    Avg HR: 129
    Time: 26:11
    Max HR: 179

    I definitely was digging deep towards the end of the workout, but I also know that a month ago I would have been flailing on the ground gasping for breath halfway through. I'm making it through the medium sprints without stopping, even today when I had 3 or 4 runs in the workout. I even finished first in the final run! Go me!

    Yesterday was workout 24-Hard. It was also the end of phase 2. I'm starting to fend off a cold and I lacked zero motivation to go do it. My 11 year old taunted me with "Joey's mom is working out and getting fit." Guilt....so I went and worked out. (love him)

    40 Min
    228 Calories
    133 Avg BPM

    I thought I was going to die. My heart rate was in Zone 4/5 almost the entire workout. There were no arm routines at all. All squats and lunges. My entire body hurts today.


    Today was Workout 25-Hard...phase 3 day 1. He said he was going to kick it up a notch. Yeah.

    44 MIn
    250 Calories
    122 Avg BPM

    This one included two sets of foot fires at 240. One of those was right after a 30 second-I want-to-die-squat & hold. My new enemy is leg raises. HATE THOSE. I can do the first set pretty good but evil trainer man is never happy with my one good set and likes to throw a second set at me. Nothing new so far...just more reps and the biking trail got longer.

    Everyone is doing great!
