Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi, Today I did the workout that we're supposed to do tomorrow. Kick Box Xtreme (intervals only) + High Intensity Drills from Kick, Punch & Crunch. When I got to KPC the intensity really kicked up another level. I really need to do KPC more often because I just about want to die doing that workout. I was thinking how doing it from beginning to end would probably kill me. Its been ages since I've done it and I remember burning tons of calories when I did. Combining KBX with the high intensity drills was really a great idea (thanks Bernadette) while doing it though I thought about how I could really make a cool mish mosh. Doing one of the drills from KPC and one interval from KBX and then back to another drill from KPC and another interval from KBX and so on. I think it would keep the heart guessing. I noticed some of the intervals from KBX were pretty high but a couple were pretty low. Interval 5 comes to mind as being low and I can't seem to get that one for some reason, I get confused with those walking lunge things. Anyway, one day when I have some time I'm going to make that mish mosh and put it on VHS and try it out. : I burned 433 calories and most of it came from KPC. Off to walk Abby. Have a great day! ~~ Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Awesome job . I don't remember the last time I did any of Cathe's kickboxing workouts. I know they are so killer.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi ,Great job. You actually sound better in your post - maybe you just needed to change up and do your own thing for awhile. Sometimes I like to follow someone else's rotation, other times I do just want to pick and choose what I do myself. Definately stick w/ some fun workouts and give yourself a mental break - especially if you are dealing with other stressors/changes in your life! Hang in there! Donna Subject: Thursday workoutTo: exercisevideos , firmies4life Date: Thursday, July 3, 2008, 7:16 AM Hi, Well, I've decided to go with something totally different this month. I don't have all the details, but have wanted to do something with Amy Bento's weight workouts. It's always fun to kind of create sorta my own routine. I came up with the idea of combining her All Pump Xtreme and Slo-Mo. I gave it a try this morning doing chest and back using both workouts. I didn't use all the exercises because of time and I wanted to pick the ones I liked the most.Here's how it went. Slo-Mo- CHEST around the world - 10 lb.- 3 sets incline fly w/ internal rotation- 20 LB- 3 sets All Pump Xtreme- Chest bar bell bench press- 30 LB- 3 sets Push ups (fall down on step) lowering risers after 15 reps each. (4 sets total) I think?? All Pump Xtreme- Back bar bell rows (singles) 50 LB- 2 sets Rear delt fly on an incline - 7 LB - 3 sets Slo- Mo- Back One arm pullovers on ball- 12 LB- 3 sets Shrugs- 40 LB- 3 sets I really thought I'd get an awesome workout combining the two, but I really didn't. The workout was fun (that's what I'm looking for) but I finished the workout feeling like I could've done more. I'm going to do this with biceps, triceps, and shoulders and see how it works. Maybe I need to go up in weight on a few of the exercises. Some of them I really felt, but others I know I could've went heavier. This was different and even though I don't feel totally worked, it might just be what I need to get out of this rut I'm feeling I'm in right now. I haven't' got the rest of the month planned, but I think I'll pull out some workouts I haven't done in a while and as far as weights go, if this doesn't work out I'll maybe go and do some good old Slow & Heavy. Have a great day! ~*~~*~ Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Sometimes I like to follow someone else's rotation, other times I do just want to pick and choose what I do myself. Thanks Donna. I had been following a rotation with someone for a few months so maybe I needed to go solo so to speak. ~*~~*~Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 It is so strange seeing anything but Cathe and yoga from you but I am so glad you're enjoying the different workouts, despite having low energy for this one. It sounds like a great workout too! Thursday workout Hi, This morning I did The Firm Boot Camp Maximum Calorie Burn. I've only done this workout a couple of times. This morning I felt REALLY weak so when I first started I was thinking "man, this is feeling hard" I didn't wait long enough after getting up to build up a little bit of energy so I was very low on it this morning. Made me mad because I can get through Imax workouts, but was wondering if I was going to make it through this... (sigh) Anyway, here's a rough break down of this workout. Plyometrics 1- squats, over head press-5 lb. skies Henge & row- 5 lbs skies squats/w kickbacks - 5 lbs pushups Cardio 1 side lunges w/ kickbacks - 5 LB Plyometrics 2 lunges (dip press hop) lunges w/ biceps single arm row/w leg raise- 10 LB lunge w/ kick & upright row- 5 LB Cardio 2 Plyometrics 3 side lunge/w kickbacks squat thrusts (like Cathe's boot camp) lunges/w biceps - 10 LB single arm rows/w leg raise- 10 LB squat thrusts Lunge w/kick & upright rows-5 lb. Cardio 3 Cool down- standing core work (lunge back & twist- 3 LB) Floor abs & stretch. I used the lightest weights because I have a lot of muscles that are slightly sore from the past few workouts. This workout went really fast and the cardio sections are fun. It was a nice change from Cathe. I didn't care for the ab work. There wasn't enough to really get anything out of it. I usually never feel it in my abs with standing ab work either. I'll have to make a note to skip the abs in this one next time. I burned 382 calories. I'm happy with that!!!!
