Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hey all, just thought I'd check in with my workouts for the week since I'm taking a break from studying this morning. School is totally crazy right now. I'm taking two short session classes this first half, plus two full session classes. The short session classes are like 4 weeks long but cover 16 weeks of material so one day is like one week of material. My two full session classes are shortened to 8 weeks, so they are faster then normal too. I've only been in school 2 weeks and I've had a test in all 4 classes. I've actually had two in First Aid and I've got 3 tests between tomorrow and Tuesday. So, needless to say, I'm only taking a short break between studying for my History, First Aid, and Algebra tests to type this email. I actually did get caught up reading email yesterday between study sessions but was so far behind that I didn't really have anything new to add to the conversations. Ya'll pretty much have this thing covered! I missed a couple of days of working out because of errands and studying, but I still got some great workouts in. I'm behind by 3 yoga videos in my plan, but I'm hoping to make them up this week if I'm not too crazy busy studying. Luckily, I have a 2 hour break during the day when I'm at school to go use their gym, so I've done that a couple of days too so I'm not missing my workouts as much, just missing videos because of not being home to do them. Anyway, here is what I did exercise wise this week. Sunday--6/1 Body Shaping Upper Body--This is a mix of various upper body segments from the old tv show on ESPN. By mixing 3 shows together, I was able to get a 30 minute workout that just used home equipment and focused only on Upper Body; 18 minutes in zone, avg. HR 113; 123 calories; 56% fat Caribbean Workout Perfect Posture--This is one of the older shows with Snively. He is annoyingly goofy thorughout the entire workout, but I loved that he focused so much on scapula work because that is missing in a lot of workouts these days. It is primarily back and abs. Total workout 20 minutes, 5 minutes in zone, avg. HR 103; 59 calories; 55% fat Monday--6/2 Weights for Lower Body at the gym at ABAC--30 minutes Nautilus Leg Press--12 reps, 160#; 10 reps, 185#; 8 reps, 210# Nautilus Leg Extension--12 reps, 70#; 10 reps, 80#; 8 reps, 90# Nautilus Leg Curl--12 reps, 40#; 10 reps, 50#; 8 reps, 60# Seated Calf Raise--3 sets, 10 reps, 95# Adductors--12 reps, 20#; 8 reps, 30# Abductors--12 reps, 10#; 10 reps, 20#; 8 reps, 30# Donkey Kick (so glad they have this machine!!)--12 reps, 50#; 10 reps, 62.5 #; 8 reps, 75# Stretch--5 minutes Treadmill--20 minutes, 3mph Stretch--5 minutes At home that night: Body Shaping Cardio Mish Mosh--Another mix of several shows; 22 minutes total; 21 minutes in zone; avg. HR 132; 116 calories; 50% fat Yoga for Weight Loss--Giaim video recorded from Health Network. Very basic yoga, nothing super intense to classify it as weight loss to me, but maybe that was cut out when they converted it to tv? 20 minutes total; 9 minutes in zone; avg. HR 109; 75 calories; 57% fat Yoga Zone Total Awareness--I have a ton of Yoga Zones recorded from Wisdom network years ago. This was a pretty standard one of their workouts. 20 minutes total; 5 in zone; avg. HR 105; 60 calories; 57% fat Tuesday--6/3 Weights @ gym, Back and Biceps--1 hour (I stopped and talked alot with other people in there.) Lat Pulldowns--12 reps, 40#; 10 reps, 50#; 3 reps, 60# (stopped at 3 because I felt my form slipping) Rows--12 reps, 30#; 10 reps, 40#; 8 reps, 50# 1 Arm Row--12 reps, 15#; 10 reps, 20#; 8 reps, 25# Pullovers--12 reps, 25#; 10 reps, 30#; 8 reps, 35# Preacher Curls--2 sets, 8 reps, 45# Twisting Bicep Curls--12 reps, 10# dumbbells; 10 reps, 15# dumbbells; 8 reps, 20# dumbbells Hammer 21's--set 1, 8# dumbbells; set 2, 10# dumbbells; set 3, 13# dumbbells (they don't have 12's so I picked up a ten and a 3 in each hand.) Bike--30 minutes Stretch--10 minutes Wednesday--6/4 Rest Thursday--6/5 Weights @ gym, Chest & Triceps--30 minutes Chest Press--12 reps, 30#; 10 reps, 40#; 8 reps, 50# Nautilus Bench Press--12 reps, 50#; 10 reps, 60#; 8 reps, 70# Decline Bench Press--2 sets, 10 reps, 20# dumbbells Decline Fly's--15 reps, 10# dumbbells Rope Pressdowns--Drop sets--set 1, 30# for 5, 20# for 5, 10# for 10; set 2, 30# for 3, 20# for 5, 10# for 10 Triceps Kickbacks--12 reps, 5# dumbbells; 10 reps, 8# dumbbells; 8 reps, 10# dumbbells; 6 reps, 15# dumbbells Overhead Tricep Extensions--12 reps, 20# dumbbell; 10 reps, 25# dumbbell; 8 reps, 30# dumbbell Bike--30 mintues; 10.5 miles, 130 calories Stretch--10 minutes Friday--6/6 Rest Saturday--6/7 Total Body Sculpt Plus # 1 with Gilad--This is one of 10 of these hour long shows that I have recorded from FitTV. Not counting commercials it is only about 45 minutes. 25 minutes in zone; avg HR 118; 158 calories; 53% fat Yoga Zone Long & Lean (mostly balancing poses), Fountain of Youth (standard yoga), and Connecting to Your Power (more balance), for a total of 60 minutes; 10 minutes 30 seconds in zone; avg HR 100, 139 calories; 56% fat Today I have Cathe Kick, Punch, & Crunch and a Caribbean workout cardio scheduled. I may get one of those other 3 Yoga Zones in too, who knows. All depends on how long it takes me to get the last 1/3 of my history study guide done and my first aid study guide done. The history one is 100 questions, of which I'm about 2/3 through, and the first aid one has 77 questions, of which I have 11 done. Yeah, I'm going to be busy, so I may not get all of my workouts in, but I'm going to get as much in as I can in between study sessions. If you don't hear from me for a week, it's because I'm asleep with my nose in a book! LOL Tonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
