Checking in with my pm w/o.: turbo jam. Punch kick and jam i was trying to not do it but I'm glad I did. Always feels great when you're done!!!! Broke my blender trying to make a smoothie :grumble: So will have to replace it soon. Much too hot in Taxes to be without a blender for too long!!! See you all tomorrow!!0

Hey guys! I have a habit of not getting on here too much over the weekend. I am glad to say that the only day I got away from tracking my food was today. So that's a good change
I've got a really bad pain in my left achilles tendon. The fiance says that I'll be alright if I just switch back to normal tennis shoes for a day or so and give my Vibrams a rest. For now, my workouts this week will all depend on that healing up - hopefully it's soon!
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend and have a great week!0 -
Ripped in 30 done awhile ago and now I'm thinking it's too late to get in a second work out. Too much to do today - I had two classes. One in the morning for 4 hours and another this evening that was for 2 hours. Plus all the laundry and cleaning that needed to be done. I'm spent. A movie sounds much better than a workout or homework.0

03/28
1st workout - WT Upper body (finally haha)
2nd workout - Run 2 miles0 -
I think I've gained a little bit of strength,Jari's workout didn't seem as daunting today
I also took a brave step and did the first day of my C25K Week 2 in the huge park,cycled there and back then enjoyed the scenery as i jogged along,much slower then jogging along on the treadmill,and the ground is a bit uneven but I loved the fresh air,it was a nice change,besides the gym gets too crowded in the evening if I don't go early enough....
Monday 28th – 8:30 AM 46 mins Walk/jog/sprint Intervals (DONE) + Mid PM Jari Love (DONE) + PM C25k Week 2(DONE)0 -
Okay, I think....I may have developed a schedule that I can do and my fiance will be pleased with :happy: Here it is!
Monday: AM - 30DS and 30 minute walk PM - Walking for an hour
Tuesday: AM - C25K and 30 minute walk PM - Walking for an hour
Wednesday: AM - 30DS and 30 minute walk PM - Walking for an hour
Thursday: AM - C25K and 30 minute walk PM - Walking for an hour
Friday: AM - 30DS and 30 minute walk PM - Walking for an hour
Saturday: AM - C25K and 30 minute walk PM - Walking for an hour
Sunday: AM - 30 minute walk PM - Walking for an hour
The reason I have so much walking here is because I want to go walking in the morning so I have time to think about and plan my day, and I want to walk with my fiance in the evening after he gets done with work, because it's such a good time to talk! The evening walk times may be variable, but definitely 30 minutes every morning. I added 30DS and C25K so I could get some interval training in while training for a 5K in October and getting a little bit of strength training/toning exercises in.0 -
The weather outside is uuuuugaaalllyy!!! Its foggy and misty and COLD! which is odd because it was just liek 88 degrees the other day...Grr west texas!! Wouldnt be so irritated but it interferes with my 2nd workout...now I am going to have to work around that and just try and get two workouts in back to back. Maybe do double on something

Monday: A.M. P90X Plyometrics+ Walk/Sprint Interval Training for 30mins.
P.M.-Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance0 -
Today - kickboxing and 3 miles run. May run some more when I get home, I'll count that as workout 1 for tomorrow. 0

Monday 3/28/11: The weather rained out my plans to run in the AM and road bike in the PM so I did two P90X workouts; legs and back plus chest and back. Too many pull ups! Tomorrow I run regardless but will only ride if it is clear. Maybe I'll do plyo instead of biking if it rains. I’m really not afraid to ride in the rain, but I really hate cleaning and lubing the bike afterwards!0

Hey All
Better late than never!! I overslept this morning woke up to one of my dogs licking my ear, thank goodness or would have been late for work. Ended up doing 20 min ab jam. 20 min turbo and 20 minutes on treadmill - cal burn per the hrm 440; I'll take it :laugh: I'm just grateful that after working a 10 hour day and grocery shopping, caring for my 4 dogs and DH I still made time to eat right and work out for and hour. I count that as a win for me today and I'm psyched for tomorrow. Going to start adding strength training this week and abs. I noticed some of you all doing p90x - I have p90. Which does include ab ripper. Might give it a try this week. Not in place of turbo but in addition to, we'll see
Hope everyone is off to a fantastic week!!

I'll be honest I am feeling a bit under the weather today,have cold symptons,sore throat and stuffy nose upon waking,
feeling slightly demotivated,BUT I still went in to the gym and did some HIIT skipping,jumping squats and jumping lunges and some cardio kickboxing with my female friend,the guy that was meant to be helping me with the heavy weights didn't turn up,oh well,my friend and I had fun and we still worked out so not so guilty there.
I'll be back on schedule tomorrow!0 -

I think it's called High Intensity Interval Training. I think it's used in TurboFire? That's just what I've heard. It's supposed to really torch the calories!0 -
Tuesday 3/29/11: AM - Trail Run - Done, PM - Road Bike - Done
Glad to get some outdoor activities in today, rain coming tomorrow. On Wednesday I'll probably do AM P90X Arms and Shoulders, PM Plyo-X.
My legs felt tired this morning but better this afternoon. Seems strange but I'm glad for the "better" part.
Anyone taking a break on Thursday (or other)? I'm wasted by Friday without any break from two-a-days and can't take advantage of the weekend. If I take a break on Thursday should I cut back to one exercise or take a whole day? Sunday is a full rest day for me.0 -
HIIT is basically the theory of exerting yourself to your limits for a short period of time (30 to 60 seconds) followed by a longer period of rest ( 1 to 2 minutes) then you do these intervals for about 30 to 40 minutes,you can do HIIT with any exercise equipment or incorporate it into any bodyweight only routine,its pretty intense but its supposed to blast 9% more fat then steady state.
i have another surprise today I joined an athletics sprinting/discus/javelin/long jump club,was super awesome they make us sprint HIIT style on the track for 2 hours,really intense I was drenched in sweat and its freezing outside so I sucessfully got my 2 a day in even if I wasn't stuck to schedule,really enjoyed sprinting outside beats the treadmill anyday I'm not terrified of falling off looool,it was fun,so a day of recovery then back there on Thursday,but of course I won't be recovering have 3 sessions tomorrow,goodluck to everyone else this week,keep pushing!0
