Just The Workouts ~OCTOBER 2020~*Everyone Welcome!*
October 2020
Per CharM, (and a great idea again!), this month may mean SCARY workouts for some! I believe it was Ms. Jane who initiated that idea last October....and it will definitely be a SUPER SCARY month for me....as I will turn the big 6-0!!!! So, taking it day by day and seeing how I feel each day if I care to make it scary or not, haha! Also trying to *stay* in the habit of daily meditation and including more yoga, as I have noticed lately how my weighted workouts seem easier and I'm sure it's from doing more power yoga on a regular basis. Love that! 1 - IDT Meditation (Travis); Yvette Bachman Cardio, Kickboxing, Triceps & Abs (62 min. of the 71 min.); PHA3 (Extended Lying Stretch) This one was super fun with no equipment needed except gloves until about 10 min. til the end where she does some tricep/band work. I FF'd thru those but did include the FW band exercises (for the BOOty! and legs), and core work. Lots of fun k/b moves for upper and lower body and thankfully, she alternates those with recovery moves. Definitely needed an add'l stretch and I ended with a 522 calorie burn...great, SCARY cardio class...I'm starting off the month with a HOWLING great endurance workout!! haha 2 - IDT Meditation (Travis); Cathe Live Total Body Giant Sets 2 #214; extra stretching; Mow Max/Yard Work (1.5 hours) This "series" of Lives are gold! Just love this one - no cardio but definitely a cardio effect. I used 5's, 12's, 15's, 20's, & 25's# DB's. Cathe really pulls me thru those last few reps of the core work...I NEED that cajoling to finish them b/c by that time, I am TOAST!! Fabulous workout! 3 - IDT Meditation (Dana); AngieFit TV (10 min. walk as a w/u); IDT Energy Flow (Brittany-60 min.) This was a new class and I loved it! Wonderful sequence that included eagle flow, standing pigeon, Warrior 3, one legged hip openers, wild dog pose, etc. She performed side crow and her cues were so good that I actually “got some air” under my hips while trying it....progress! Love how she stays in spinal twists for quite awhile before shavasana. Felt fantastic afterward! Music is included and I’m not sure it added to the practice (very different for yoga), but the site does include music off options which is so great!! Favorited! I am really enjoying Brittany’s classes. 4 - IDT Meditation (Dana); Cathe Live Metabolic Madness #267 (46 min.); Yoga30For30 (Even Flow-Travis - 30 min.) I say this every time I do this CL...I'm so glad I purchased this one!! SOOOO FUN! Love it for the times where I don't want to do any cardio--but still obtaining that great cardio effect through upper/lower body combination moves. Yes, I concur with my previous rating of 4 ! I wanted a shorter yoga workout and can always count on Even Flow to make me feel so good and is a great stretch after a workout to get in/out. Love Y30F30 for 30 min. classes!!!! Fabulous workout today! 436 cal burn 5 - Meditation (from another source); IDT Strong Body, Steady Mind (Lauren - 30 min.); IDT Rock'N'Soul (Mychal - 20 min.); 2.61 mile walk pushing the baby Lauren's class was nice....it uses 2 blocks and at one point, you step up on the block in tree. Also has a Kundalini arm challenge at the end. No mat stretches at end-just Shavasana. Lauren looks so cute pregnant! Mychal's class was different. Not many yoga postures - mostly cardio-induced moves such as mt. climbers, jump switches, and there were also knee hovers in table top. Not any stretches on mat at end either, so I had to do extra stretches on my own after these two classes. Not my favorite classes - I didn't preview - just picking them b/c they were short! Nice, sunny but cool this morning, but by early afternoon, it was nice to get out and get some Vitamin D. Baby slept a total of 4.5 hours today!!! She must've had a very tiring weekend! 6 - Meditation (from another source); X-10 (w/u); Caroline Girvan (1 Hour Hard Core Full Body HiiT Workout Part 1 - 60 min.); stretch I had to try a cardio workout from Caroline with all the CG talk in the GD! LOVED it! There are 2 sets of 27 exercises (:20 work) and after every exercise, you do a set of burpees before the :20 rest in the first set. (I used my step and did 6-7 squat thrusts each time). In the 2nd set, you do squat jumps instead of burpees. These were hard after some of those lower body and core moves (and I was getting tired at that point)! There is a lot of up/down in this but I didn't find it repetitive at all. I definitely recommend a warm-up and additional stretch for this. It's so nice to do a workout sometimes with no talking and just music!! Some might term this "scary" but I loved the challenge! Notice there is a "Part 2" to this....anxious to give that one a whirl too. 539 cal burn Hearted!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fXF7LNpTrQ&vl=en ETA: I checked out her Part 2 and some of those lower body exercises just seemed like a knee injury waiting to happen....change of plans! 7 - Meditation (20 min.); Yvette Bachman 30 Min. Low Impact Cardio Kickboxing; Heather Robertson Brutal BOOty & Leg Slimming W/O (32 min.); Michelle's Yin Yoga I love Yvette's UB conditioning class with weighted gloves and all low impact. My arms were feeling it already in the warm-up! These classes are rare for Yvette... I love how form is the focus and it is easy to ramp it up a bit. (I didn't this time). ;0) Heather's class was a great LB conditioning class...and she always goes slow enough so form is always a focus for her. (I appreciated that fact with Caroline also). To make it a little more "brutal", ;0) I used my FW band around my ankles or above my knees and it seemed to work for almost all the exercises. Some of my leg lifts weren't as high, but I sure felt it more in my inner thighs. HR is barefoot in this but I kept on my shoes. Fantastic total body conditioning workout today! (With minimal talking, too. I do seem to like HR's music better than Caroline's, though). I had to add on an add'l stretch (esp. for inner thighs!) 415 cal burn 8 - Meditation (10 min.); 2 Mile Walk; IDT (Power Yoga Blaze #1-Travis 32 min.) Another sunny, colorful, beautiful day! I had lots of energy today on my walk and burned 345 calories. It felt good to really go fast without having to push the stroller. Travis' class was a goodie - definitely the easiest of the Blaze Series, but great for an easier practice. My preference of the 3 classes is still #3, which is an awesome balance challenge, well rounded and near perfect!! <3 9 - IDT Meditation (5 min.-Lauren); Cathe Live Strong Express Upper Body Live (#234 - 36 min.); Caroline Girvan 15 min. Dumbbell Arms & Shoulders (done 1.5x); extra UB stretches; 2.51 mile walk pushing baby (later) Cathe's UB workout is such a good one to get in/get out! She totally FRIES shoulders from the get go, and by the last set of chest work at the end and like last time I did this one, I had to drop to 12's! There's a short core segment at the end...love how she gets that done too! The baby kept on sleeping, so I thought I could add on a short CG workout. LOVED it! She includes 2 sets of 13 UB exercises in the 15 min. and I used 12's & 15's, sometimes changing up the shoulder work (I did those U shaped exercises -can't remember the name- Cathe did in her workout with 12's. My shoulders like those! I wish she'd do that exercise in more workouts). Love Caroline's Diamond Press exercise (Sagi calls it "close grip press") where she does chest presses w/ DB's pressed together and I think I saw that exercise in Cathe's Perfect Pump workout!! Yay! The baby kept on sleeping, so I thought I'd repeat the workout, but ended up doing the 15 min. workout for 24 min....I just couldn't do that last set as I was DONE! And, honestly, I don't feel the need to do any longer than 60 min. in one session for working just Upper Body. ;0) I love how Caroline goes SLOW enough to go heavier (even though I couldn't go heavier, LOL). She is so strong!! GREAT UB FRY SESSION TODAY! 347 cal (not including walk). 10- IDT Meditation; Five Parks Yoga (Shoulder & Neck Tension Release Yoga Class - 22 min.); Five Parks Yoga (Neck & Shoulder Tension Release Yoga Class - 25 min.); 1.75 hours Mow Max/Yard Work When I got up this morning, I had very noticeable neck & shoulder discomfort. Don't know if I slept on my neck wrong, or it's from my UB shoulder frenzy yesterday, LOL, but several hours later, it is 90% better!! Not sure if it's actually due to the yoga classes or it just needed time to decompress? Either way, I'm glad I have relief! I'm geared to believing it is from the yoga...it does miracles for ME! 11- IDT Meditation (Lauren); IDT Flexibility & Beyond (Upper Body Yin - Travis - 60 min.) Thought I should do a class with focus on neck & shoulders again since I had a horrible allergy headache all weekend. This was good with no jumping but I found it hard to stay in some of the poses for the duration. I did, however, feel great when I was finished! 12- IDT Meditation (Travis); Yvette Bachman HiiT, Cardio, Core, Weights & BOSU Ball (69 min.); Stretch Wow, Yvette is an Energizer Bunny in this one!! From 2017, (and I think some of her older ones are harder than some of her newer ones), it was a great endurance challenge. HiiT work with weighted recovery moves or core and Yvette is burpee happy in this. (This is the ideal way I like my burpees...sprinkled throughout and not necessarily more than 10 at a time). ;0) One move is burpees hanging onto weights then a shoulder press and a squat, squat jump--loved those! (I used my step as a prop for the moves that included floor to standing). With 15 min. left, she brings out the BOSU and I really enjoyed that segment, as she used it for cardio, core, and a bit of strength by picking it up over your head. I used 10's, & 12's throughout, and I kept up reasonably well but sometimes I was a rep behind or I slowed down the pace to keep my joints happy. It was a bit SCARY how red my face was when finished!! GREAT ENDURANCE CHALLENGE! 532 cal burn (and that was with a HRM malfunction at a certain point. I really need to put new batteries in the thing)!! ETA: This morning I cleaned my house & did laundry; this afternoon, I washed windows outside and did 2.25 hours of yard work & started cleaning up flower beds. It's amazing what all I can get done without those allergy headaches and...without having to watch the baby, LOL! ;0) 13- IDT Meditation (Travis); IDT Reset Yourself (Lauren - 23 min.); 3 hours yard work @ parents; 2.75 hours yard work @ my house Lauren's class was really a good, short class with a bit of flow, lots of stretching and a tiny bit of balance (I think all it had was tree pose). A good one when short on time or just want to "reset". I'm pooped from all the yard work! But gotta do it when the weather's nice. I was never so glad for grocery shopping day to come along tomorrow, LOL! 14- IDT Meditation (Lauren); Cathe Live PHA+Cardio Blasts #238 (55 min.); Yoga30For30 (Edge - Travis) My favorite PHA!!!! It felt great to revisit. I matched Cathe's weights for all but did 2 legged D/L's and 2 handed burpees. It is so much FUN! I love seeing the class behind Cathe. I was planning on a 60 min. practice, but I slept longer than anticipated (all that yard work!) and I had to get a move on, so I decided on a tougher 30 min. class. Edge is such a great challenge! Focus is strength with lots of chats and yogi p/u's. It maybe wasn't such a great idea to do this after Cathe's weight workout, LOL. To go back to these classes, they seem a lot easier now. Great strength session today!! 15- IDT Meditation (Lauren); IDT Build Forearm Balance (Lauren - 40 min.); 3.50 hours of yard work at DS's condo This class is a very shoulder intensive practice (since they are worked a lot when forearms are used). One spot Lauren asks you to do Warrior 3 with your hands entwined behind your head...that's tough! When I held this pose, I noticed my triceps are sore from Cathe's workout yesterday. Lauren's instruction was excellent as usual but my balance was not good today. Some days you got it and some days you don't! She uses a wall for headstand but I don't need a neck injury, LOL, so I just did crow instead. Stayed in that pose for a while so that was good. There are lots of forearm planks & dolphin in this class, so a good one for building arm strength. Sooo glad to be done with DS's yard work (and right before the first frost)!! He had quite a few bushes to trim and cut back; I couldn't do them last time I was there since they were still blooming. 16- IDT Meditation (Dana); Five Parks Yoga (Flow to Go Yoga Class-23 min.) This was a good, short flow. No time for anything else - I had an early appt. to take my fur baby to the vet. 17- IDT Meditation (Lauren); KCM Sculpting Rx (Workout 2--no floor work), Workout 1 (all=50 min. but took me 60 min. b/c I stretch throughout); Stretch; Mow Max/Yard Work - 1.5 hours Playing my own music and did my own premix again, it is a TOTAL BODY fryer...yes, my legs even get a workout combining these. In Workout 2, I used 5's for the first set, then 8's for the rest. Love the combo moves and core gets worked so well. In Workout 1, I used 12's & 15's, but I do have to pause the dvd and stretch mostly after chest is worked. In place of those lawn mower moves sitting on step (I can't get full range of motion), I just change up the exercise all together and did pull-overs with 20#, and continued when she does shoulder presses...I felt my shoulders were more than worked in Workout 2 alone! Totally love the bicep (or shoulder?) move while alternating step up onto step, then lifting opposite knee, step down for legs! Also, the exercise that includes a squat with DB's, then while you're down there, turn DB's for D/L's! Love those! Kelly really kept things fresh in this one, and most important, my shoulders do not complain of her creative moves which often is the case for me. Cool! After cleaning the house, I talked myself into doing yard work (at my house)...it was tough, as 12.50 hours of yard work is enough in one week but went out and did another 1.50 hours!! I'M DONE!! (till next week, haha, and of course, weeks of raking to look forward to....). 18- IDT Meditation (Travis & Lauren); Five Parks Yoga (Intense Flow With No Planks or Chats - Wrist free yoga = 49 min.) This one sounded easier with no planks or chats but it was HARD with all the balance work and building heat in the total body. That boat sequence was insane(!) holding it so long and I had to take breaks. The class was all standing until the 40 min. mark then to the mat for stretching. Very nice challenge and it gave my wrists & shoulders a nice break. 19- IDT Meditation; Cathe's Great Glutes (No Floor Work Premix - 53 min.) Always a classic! 20- IDT Meditation; REST DAY!!! (early hair appt. and it just doesn't get done later! And...I thought I deserved a REST day on my birthday, after all)! 21- IDT Meditation; my w/u; Caroline Girvan (Dumbbell Shoulders & Core w/o-17 min. only); CG Dumbbell Upper Body Workout = 27 min.; ICE Muscle Meltdown (Triceps/stretch) I didn't preview (or read well evidently), as I thought this first w/o was an upper body workout....17 min. was enough of shoulder work, LOL, so I quit that and did her UPPER BODY workout, skipping shoulders! Yes, I can now read, ha! Great upper body fryer that includes back but no triceps aside from chest presses. So I added on the MM Triceps....love these for that purpose!!! It turned out to be a great workout, but what a Mish Mosh Monster Mash Workout!!! Really turned into a GREAT Fat Burning workout complete with treats and no tricks (well, maybe a few tricks!) - 49 min. in the FB zone! :0) 22- IDT Meditation (Travis); Cathe Live Cardio Fusion #207 (40 min.); IDT Blaze #3 (Travis) Cathe's is such a fun one but today there seemed an awful lot of jumps and hops in it! ;0) Definitely a space hog. There is such high energy in the class, though, and is contagious. This class was a day before her '18 Road Trip and there were more in the class. The older lady in the front row was ROCKIN' it and I was watching her a lot when the camera panned around the room (and HOW it panned around the room! Too much on others and not enough on Cathe!). But it's a good one to utilize my rebounder doing tuck jumps, air jacks and any other type of jumps! I did Travis' Blaze #3 AGAIN...just can't get enough of that one! Love! 442 cal burn today 23- IDT Meditation (Dana); X-10 (w/u); YT Pamela Reif (15 Min. Full Body HiiT Workout//No Equipment); Pamela Reif (10 Min. High Intensity Workout//No Equipment; IDT Twisting in Paradise (Mychal - 45 min.) Trying to figure out a short HiiT YT workout, I came across Pamela Reif...never heard of her before. These short HiiT workouts were decent...and easier than her comments below them. The first one had no rests (:30/:00), until the 8 min. mark, but she'd do a cardio exercise followed by a bodyweight/strength exercise that she terms "active breaks" which probably made it seem easier to me. The 2nd class had the same format and I used my step as a prop and my JS for j. jacks, etc. I like her music and is set up similar to Heather & Caroline with the no talking. (I appreciate that since sometimes I have a hard time understanding them with their accents or it's echo-y on the set!). Pamela is a model and cute as a button and looks fresh out of high school(!) but at 24, she packs a punch for some good HiiT work! I subscribed to her channel. Mychal's class was a really good flow that included BOP but I thought it would've had even more twists. I guess I'm used to Travis' thousands during a Twisting practice! I like Mychal - his voice, his form pointers and is easy on the eyes! Again, he looks fresh out of high school, but he seems to know his stuff. Maybe it's just b/c I am now OLD and everyone looks fresh out of high school, LMAO!//Dinner out was really nice being at a restaurant again (too cold to sit outside, but all the parties were spaced out really well). 24- IDT Meditation (Travis & Lauren); IDT Fundamental Flow - 30 min. (Denise); Pamela Reif Ab workout; cleaned my house; 1 hour Yard Work I tried a new instructor on IDT...Eh, maybe it was the practice and the sound kept going in & out and was totally distracting, so Denise didn't cut it for me. I had to keep looking at the screen to see what I should be doing. So, she & Brent are my least favorite instructors. After my yoga, I cleaned my house then went to lunch with my SIL/BIL who were in town and brought a b-day gift! So nice to see them!! Went home and did the yard work which got done so quick with my bad-a$$ leaf blower, LOL! It's not as heavy when I'm out there doing it and was so nice not having to fiddle with a cord!!! Yes, T2B, it's all about PRACTICAL gifts that I so appreciate!! Do my Uggs fit in that category too?? haha 25- IDT Meditation (Travis); Yvette Fit #65 Upper & Lower Body Kickboxing/Step; stretch This one is on her new site...LOVED it! It uses a step w/ 2 risers, stability ball, (1) 30, 25's, 20's, 15's, & 12's DB's. I used a 2 riser step, (1) 30, 25's, & 15's and works biceps, back & legs. I was feeling pretty good that I could actually go heavier than Yvette! The pace sometimes needed to be slower but I felt good going heavier on most exercises. I did pull downs in place of conc curls. It is a REALLY FUN workout - enjoyed that the choreography using the step was doable for me (i.e. no jumping up onto step w/ both feet!), and included k/b moves for upper body & lower body. I'd term it moderate intensity with some repetition, but I really liked it. I had to keep the volume down since DH was still sleeping in the BR above my workout area, and I could hardly hear the music, so I played my own. Will be doing this one again! I ended with a 401 calorie burn. 26- IDT Meditation (Lauren); Heather Robertson Brutal BOOty & Leg Slimming Workout; HR Flat Abs; IDT Work In & Work Out Series (Day 5--Part 1 - Brittany - 21 min.) I did Heather's BB&LS workout again as I TOTALLY Love it and used a FW band again around my ankles or above knees during the floor work to the end. I was glad to read that 2lazy4gym enjoyed this one too. I couldn't remember if I used the FW band for the whole workout last time or just the floor work on? Either way, it is a real burn fest of a LB workout! Her ab workout started playing right after, so I did that too. Brittany's class was awesome with lots of balance, flow, postures, core and very well rounded. Great one when wanting a short practice to finish things up. Baby is still sleeping, so I took advantage of some check-in time! 27- Meditation (another source); Heather Robertson No Repeats HiiT Workout//Total Body Mash Up (40 min.); Caroline Girvan 30 min. DB Chest & Tricep Workout (35 min.) This Heather workout may just be one of my favorites of hers. No jumping but getting my HR up and my sweat on. It's excerpts from her other HiiT workouts, some being weighted and some non-weighted with a format of :45/:15. So sometimes, she's got a different outfit on, shoes on, shoes off! It can easily be made more difficult by using heavier weights and starting the exercise early, which I did a few times. I LOVED it! Caroline's was equally as great working chest and triceps with p/u's and unwtd. chest/tricep/core work as finishers each time after the weight work. Format is :30/:30 and I loved how she takes her time getting into position!! Different than most instructors where you're scurrying around getting your weights, lie back on step, get those DB's up there and start, LOL. My arms were fried by the end, but I wanted a workout that focused on chest & tri's since I did bi's and back earlier in the week. Great cal burn of 386. Side note: my lower body was so sore from Heather's Brutal BOOty workout yesterday!! 28 - Meditation (another source); Cathe's Perfect 30 High Impact HiiT (30 min.); Perfect 30 Perfect Flow: Yoga Strength & Flexibility & Mobility Basics Express #1 (33 min.) Finally got my Cathe's yesterday! The HiiT workout was ok....lots of squat thrust variations (of which I didn't mind, I think I liked the ones with the surfer jumps the best). But sometimes when you're down in squat thrust mode, Cathe doesn't let you know you only have 1 or 2 left...so a lot of times I kept going when she stopped. This did pack a punch in 30 min., so it'll be good for a quick HiiT workout. (However, now that I discovered Heather's HiiT workout yesterday with no repeats and no jumping, it'll be hard to skip over that one and choose this one!;0)) Also, I think it'll be more fun done another week when I haven't done 2 HiiT workouts already this week...bad planning on my part!! The yoga was a good stretch, preferably for someone new to yoga...in hindsight, I wish I would've tried the mobility stretch by itself to find out what that is about. This premix combines the two and leaves out a few exercises from the Mobility workout. I've never done a so-called "mobility" workout (IIRC?), so it'll be nice to have this in my collection for the future. (I wasn't surprised that the yoga stretch was a "Cathe-like yoga" practice similar to her older yoga stretches which I had anticipated. If I wasn't into yoga so much and enjoy my level right now, Cathe's stretch would be fine. Who knows? Maybe it'll be all I want to do one day when I can't do chats any longer)! I didn't notice the music in either workout, so it must've not been annoying! Looking forward to trying more from the P30 series! 29 - Meditation (Biblical source); IDT Yang & Yin (Travis - 47 min.) Love this class with 1/2 power yoga and 1/2 yin. It felt great after a few days of tough workouts! 30 - Meditation (Biblical source); Yvette Fit #15 Boot Camp Cardio & Core (58 min.); Perfect 30 (Mobility Basics); 45 min. Yard Work; 1 mile walk Yay - Yvette's class was a very fun BC circuit! It uses a stability ball and lighter weights (5's, 8's, & 15's). I was happy to use lighter weights today to conserve more energy, LOL. The intensity really sneaks up as you progress, though - liked it a lot! I had a 434 cal burn. There wasn't anything I haven't seen before in Mobility Basics from doing my yoga classes, but I'm glad to have all the exercises in one workout which will be helpful when wanting some TLC for my joints. That Groin Stretch (which didn't feel great for my hips) I think I will replace with the original Thread The Needle pose (that works legs) in the future. I thought sure she'd include that one! She includes "Thread The Needle" for the ARMS but not for legs. Boo. The "Trace The Rainbow" stretch felt great for my wonky shoulders, though... 31 - HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Meditiation (10 min.); Five Parks Yoga (Let Go Vinyasa Flow - 55 min.) This was nice and just what I needed today. As I was doing some of Erin's poses, I got to thinking about mobility workouts again and DUH(!), I totally forgot all about having Debbie Sieber's Total Body Solution which certainly can be termed a mobility dvd and a great one at that. (Also Strong Knees for the lower body). I think Debbie's focuses more on each body part than Cathe's, but it's nice to have both in my collection when injuries and discomfort occur. I can NOT believe I made it to 46 days of consistency with my meditations!!! Never in a million years did I think I could stick with this! I think the trick is that I realized I can sit in a chair (and not have to lie down) with my eyes OPEN and still concentrate. Hoping to at least finish out the year but taking it day to day... |

** October **
Experimenting with reducing frequency/intensity this month to stop the scale creeping up ❉ October 1 - Barlates Mat Express - this is an ab workout, altho the title doesn't really make that clear. Did 20 minutes of it before she started doing the hundred (I HATE the hundred!!). It was a decent workout otherwise. + Barlates Front of Thigh Back of Thigh Hamstring Portion + stretches (~35m) ❉ October 2 - Skip day ❉ October 3 - Firm Total Body Shaping Mix first 30 mins + a lot of stretching ❉ October 4 - Skip day ❉ October 5 - Grocery shopping, no workout ❉ October 6 - Fitprime Strong Bear first 40 mins - this is a weird workout...it feels disjointed and the music choices are strange. Don't think I will be repeating this one. + 20 mins of stretching ❉ October 7 - Skip day ❉ October 8 - Jeff Chand Qigong for shoulders neck tension, strength (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL2-7wxZdB0) - enjoyed this one ❉ October 9 - Jeff Chand Qigong to soften tension https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNLReAiKJZY - not my favorite + yoga nidra guided meditation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H0FKzeuVVs) ❉ October 10 - Skip day ❉ October 11 - Jeff Chand Qigong to calm and clear the mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbjrafxW6rA&t=260s) - pretty good routine + did some deep breathing with this nifty tool (slowed down to .75 speed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdbbtgf05Ek ❉ October 12 - Skip day ❉ October 13 - Skip day ❉ October 14 - Firm Maximum Body Sculpting with Tracy Long (first 30m) ❉ October 15 - Skip skip skip ❉ October 16 - Hasfit 20 minute Standing Workout (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KggZkh7i1s) + stretches ❉ October 17 - 19 - nothing to report ❉ October 20 - Barlates Target 10 Arms + Barlates Target 10 Barre Lower Body ❉ October 21-25 - nada ❉ October 26 - Barlates Stamina 50 reps glutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbMofoYzVAM- Linda is crazy! Only did the first 20 minutes, which was the first set. Too much work on all fours for me, and the standing leg was really feeling it both sides, it all burrrrnnnneed. Still nice to try something new, might try her inner thigh Stamina 50 next. ❉ October 27 - Grocery shopping day - went to Wegman's, got sticker shock at a lot of the prices ($7 for a dozen organic eggs and the same for 1 can of tuna!! ) so only a half hour walking around the store. Think I'll stick to my regular stores and Costco. I have DOMS in glutes and obliques today, unusual for a Barlates workout, usually I don't get any (even if I think I will at the time). ❉ October 28 - skip ❉ October 29- AM Callanetics (25m) ❉ October 30 - skip ❉ October 31 - skip
