Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I think it's quite possible. Overtraining can affect heart rate, and thus, calorie burn. One of the things that happens with overtraining is that your nervous system also gets overstimulated. It seems like you've been receiving some signals from your body, and it's great that you're going to rest over the weekend. You'll enjoy your workouts more next week. Good morning! Well, I got up having no clue what workout I wanted to do. I took something to sleep with last night and unfortunately it didn't help a lot. I suppose I rested better than the night before, but still not a good restful night. I looked through my workouts and Amy Dixon's Kickin' Strength stood out to me. I remember doing it twice and both times I finished the workout wanting more, so I figured that was the one for me. I wanted to do upper body, but couldn't find anything for how I was feeling. I used 7 lb for all the strength segments and I added the abs on the end. I was amazed that I burned 358 calories, avg 129, max 163 and 2,934 steps. The last time I did this workout I only burned 276. Maybe the increased calorie burn was a sign that I was working harder because my body is so darn tired? I might do another lighter workout tomorrow and rest on Sunday. In all reality I need to take the entire weekend off. Have a great weekend!!~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I cannot WAIT to sleep in tomorrow! I've been getting up early on Saturdays for Group Kick but tomorrow I'm going to sleep in, I really need it. I hope to do the new Turbo Kick routine afterward because I've only done it once and that was a practice run through, not a real workout. I love the gym but I'm also missing my videos and Studio LouLou (my home gym). As we all say, " so many workouts, so little time " . Ug!I have a desire to do some dance workouts lately..

Ug! isnt it awesome to have so many options that you can do whatever you want, whenever you want?! as long as it doesnt become a bit overwhelming, as my video collection seems at times :*c.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I love this one too you're making me want to do a video. Great job, ! Good morning! I was looking forward to my workout this morning since its my favorite upper body on the shelf. I did Pyramid Upper Body. I was so happy that my elbow didn't hurt at all until I got to the triceps. I felt it a little bit on the kickbacks, but not on the extensions. It was the biceps where it really started talking to me. Weird how just that one exercise made it hurt. I didn't have time for abs so had to skip. Don't like that one anyway.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Good morning! This morning was a whopper upper body workout. I was concerned a little about whether I could do this since my chest and back was a little sore last night when I went to bed. I got up at 4:45 this morning with not much soreness left so I knew I was good to go. As those of you know that have done the GS workouts she doesn't rest much at all. I know I could go heavier if I could take even just 1 minute rests. I couldn't pause because of time. This workout combining both was almost 65 minutes without pausing. Here's how it all went for me: CHEST: warm up pushups 16,12,8,4 (all on toes. Proud of myself) bench press ( 2 sets) 20 Flys (2 sets) 20 incline bench press ( 1 set) 20 incline fly ( 1 set) 20 close grip BB press ( 1 set) 35 TRICEPS: Dips lying extensions ( 1 set) 8 seated overhead extensions ( 1 set) 20 Cross body extensions ( 1 set) 10 Bonus burn ( band) I used 5's (I was fried on this one) kickbacks ( 1 set) 8 kickbacks (band) 5 DB ****no cool down. I went straight to back, shoulders and biceps skipping the warm up*** BACK: DB row ( 2 sets) 20 one arm row ( 1 set) 25 band T-back squeeze ( did seated rear delts here using 5's) BB pullovers ( 1 set) 30 Modified back extensions prone back side rotations SHOULDERS: DB overhead press ( 2 sets) 12 lateral raise ( 1 set) 8 band lateral raise 3 DB band front raise 3 DB DB rear fly ( 1 set) 8 band rear delt raise 5 DB BICEPS: BB curls ( 1 set) 30 Bicep partial reps (2 sets) 8 concentration curls ( 1 set) 12 wrist turn lower down ( 1 set) 10 DB hammer curls ( 1 set) 10 DB wrist curls ( 1 set) 10 stretch Have a wonderful weekend! ~ (who will be waitin' on the DOMS to arrive. ) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
