If February was for new, March is for tried and true
1. Gina Buber - ok, so not exactly tried and true since I just started doing her workouts last month. oops! But they're fun. I did a 30 minute YT which I'd done last month but had forgotten until it started, oh well. I finished with 20 minutes from her DTW2 dvd. 2. Leslie, Tracy Effinger - 1 mile Leslie, Squeeze Stronger lower body (minus the abs), 10 minutes Leslie 3. Jenny Ford - Checkout Workout Marching with Moves. I had planned to sleep in, but was startled awake by a noisy crow outside my window and couldn't sleep. Yesterday morning it was cats fighting. Dang animals. I love them, though, so I'm just pretend grouchy. 4. KCM, BJ Gaddour - Lean Body Circuits - lower body premix - I did 2 exercises and repeated before moving on. For the reverse lunge/leg lift, I did 50 seconds per side rather than alternate, finished off the workout with a minute of bridges w/15 lb. I then did 10 Minute Torchers lower body crush. My booty was on fire! It's night and I'm so sore! Oh, I also did a 15 minute JS walk in the evening. 5. Jessica Smith - Latin Dance Walk (30 minute) + 10 minutes of Dance Walk, neither of which were fun. It's the evening and I'm still sore from yesterday's workout. 6. XTF Toning Lower, BJ Gaddour -- for xtf lower, I used a 20 for left side and a 15 for right throughout, repeated the 2-2 count chapter. 10 Minute Torchers lower body crush. 7. Petra, Richard Simmons - Bootcamp Boogie up to the 34 minute mark, though I did ff through the active recovery because I hate it. RS Party off the Pounds 10 minutes. 8. Martha Montenegro, BJ Gaddour, Leslie - KCM warmup, MM21 lower w/bridges instead of ab work, 10 Minute Torchers Isometric Inferno w/plank, calf raises instead of pushups and other upper body work, 10 minute Leslie 9. Leslie - 3 total miles from two different dvds 10. KCM - Strength & Stamina - workout 1, no swings premix. 11. "rest" - no official workout, but I took care of some weeds. it wasn't easy! 12. Jessica Smith - Power Pyramid Walk + 10 additional minutes from a different walk 13. KCM, Jessica - Lean Body Circuits Weights premix. I didn't do all the upper body moves, but the ones I did, I repeated. I also repeated the lower body moves, and for some I did 3x because I lost track of how many times I'd done them. oops. added a Jessica Smith walk for 11 minutes 14.Leslie - miracle miles 4 miles from disc 5. she doesn't use the band in mile 1, when she used the bands for miles 2-4, I did this instead: 1 minute jogging, 30 sec jacks, 30 sec skaters; then 1 minute jacks, 30/30 others, then 1 min skaters, 30/30 15. Amy Bento, Jessica Smith - Drop Set Strength - ntm! just came in yesterday, and today's a strength day, so I wanted to give it a try. I did legs and biceps. I didn't like that she took too much time picking out weights, but now that I know what to expect, I can start without her. I might try out other parts tomorrow. I finished with 15 minutes of a Jessica Smith walk. 16. Amy Bento, Jessica Smith - DSS back, shoulders, triceps. Today I was thankful for the time she took to choose weights since my arms were really feeling it. 15 minute Jessica Smith walk 17. Jessica Smith - Strength Interval Walk - misnomer! there was just a little bit of walking in the beginning. Even though I'd done this before, I'd forgotten about that. I was looking for strength work sprinkled in with walking. 1 mile Leslie, plus 5 additional minutes 18. Leslie - Miracle Miles disc 3, all. I either did my own thing or followed along without the band. 19. KCM - Trim Down workout 1. I was going to sleep in, but the birds woke me up and kept me awake. 20. Gina B., Tony Horton - Dance That Walk 2, I only made it to 13:30, because I just wasn't feeling it. I then popped in P90 Sweat 1-2, skipping the yoga warmup. omg,so boring! 21. Jari Love - GR&C and Weights & Abs - all lower, back, and biceps 22. Jazzercise Burlesque - i still love it it's so fun . We also mowed the lawn and yanked weeds and omgoodness I was sooooooooooo sweaty. 23. James Crossley, Leslie - Fit at 40+ full body workout; Leslie 10 minute lower body blast 24. Jessica something(too lazy to look up last name) - Extreme Hiit, workout A - Here's a link to a clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqnaZzXLgyE she doesn't have much of a personality, but the workout will make you sweat, so there's that. The dvd menu has: Warm Up, Workout A, and Workout B. I didn't like that the warm up had static stretches. I think those are best left until after the workout, or even after exercising certain body parts, so I walked in place instead of doing them. As for the workout, we did 10 reps or 20 seconds (or more?), depending on the exercise. Exercises include: squat jumps (10), burpees (10), plank jacks (didn't pay attention), pushups (5), inchworms into side plank leg raise (10), frog jumps, hooks, knee pulls, bicycles, scissors, leg raises, side plank leg raise, tuck jumps, butt kicks, jumping jacks. I'm sure I'm missing some. There was quite a bit of up and down, which I know some here don't like. There were no breaks, but there's an on-screen display telling you when to take a break if you need it. I needed one just 9 minutes into it, after the circuit w/burpees. After that, it got "easier". I did a quick preview of Workout B - i was disappointed that there were just a few different exercises. oh well, I guess there are only so many drills you can do. And I only paid $2.50 shipped, so I can't complain! 25. Tom Holland, BJ, Leslie - Total Body Workout 2, 10 Minute Torchers lower body crush, 10 minute Leslie 26. Petra, Cat - Bootcamp Boogie 34 minutes, 10 MSRR Fat Burner 20 minutes 27. Jillian, Christine Bullock - Beginner Shred workout 3, 10 MS Butt Lift - 2 workouts 28. Leslie - 30 minute YouTube walk 29. nothing but a walk outside 30. Sarah Kusch, Leslie - Toning Transformation, disc 1 workout 1. They're supposed to be 20 minute workouts, but this one was 28 minutes. I found this at Goodwill last month and hadn't tried it yet. She talks a lot! It's almost all tips on form and letting you know what muscles you're using, where you should be feeling it, but I kinda wanted her to be quiet. I normally don't care, so I was just being a grouch today. Also, the reps are uneven, I guess because she's talking half the time. So remember to keep your own count if that matters to you. This workout was all standing, and the exercises were simple for this workout, in no particular order: lateral and front raises, lateral leg lifts, rear leg lifts, leg circles (half), deadlifts (she used no weights), wood chops (using a towel), triceps pulses (using a towel), lat pulldown (she used a towel). I felt some muscles working, but in general it wasn't very challenging even with weights. I don't think going heavier would make it so. I also did the 5 minute standing core workout. This was just ok: wood chops, halos, i forget the rest. i guess i was underwhelmed. 10 minute Leslie "Tummy Trimmer" 31. KCM, Brook Benton - TLC warmup & a combo chapter, Brook's KB Cardio Pump Fusion (just the cardio fusion, 22 minutes), a few more TLC chapters and cool down. total for both was about 40 minutes |

March!!!
1. Rest 2. Barlates Endurance 70 Up and Down and Bodyweight Basics Cardio Sculpt Up and Down felt tougher than I anticipated! Lots of lower body especially curtsy lunges. It alternates a standing exercise with a crouched, table top or down dog exercise. Lots of balance work and it felt like Linda was moving quicker than in her longer interval workouts. 3 hours of yard work I very reluctantly did this, but I had take advantage of the weather. I daydreamed of concrete the whole time. 3. 4 mile run + Barlates Resistance Stretching Dynamic I only planned on running 3 miles but I was feeling good and just went for it. I hope I don’t regret it tomorrow. My gluteus are already sore from yesterday’s curtsy lunges and I usually feel my first few runs of the season in my glutes and hamstrings. I took a 30 second walk break every miles and it was really a mental treat. I felt like I had something to look forward to and it’s probably the reason I ran the fourth mile. I wanted to do something stretchy so I tried one of Linda’s new YouTube workouts. I’m pretty sure this is Buti Yoga inspired since that’s what she’s been doing herself right now. It was yoga with a twist. I enjoyed it and I felt the warrior and yogi squat sections. I would call it a stretch sculpt, really it was a great follow up to a run. 4. Tonique Hamptons Glow + Gina B My lower body was sore today as I expected so I wanted to focus on upper body. I felt stronger than the first time I did Hamptons Glow but it was really tough. I took an extra couple of breaks to stretch my upper body. That wall work makes the squats feel like a total break. Gina B was just doable for me. The music is great! I did the black eyed peas, wham and the Jlo mix for about a 15-20 min light cardio. If you are looking for fun dance cardio these are great. I’m just not a good dancer and I find them really challenging to follow. I know they are not complex, it’s just me. 5. Christine Salus 700 calorie 7x7 workout https://youtu.be/L-QTtDHJu9E I’ve subscribed to Christine’s YouTube channel for a long time but never really checked out her workouts. I’m really glad I did. They’re like a FitBody by Julia lite. Don’t get me wrong it was definitely challenging enough but I really have to modify the Julia workouts I’ve tried and this was just about an hour. Most of Julia’s workouts are well over an hour. It was hard but doable. It’s filmed in a well lit apartment and there’s no music. There’s no stretch at the end so I added one of Heather Robertson’s stretches. It was 7 rounds, the first was a warm up round. All the rounds but one were done with 50:10 intervals. The second round is a 7 minute upper body AMRAP. There’s a round of 7 different burpees which went by a lot quicker than I thought it would and was actually fun. I’m planning on trying out more of her workouts after my vacation. Im thinking of adding in one or two a week to change things up. 6. Christine Salus 200 Burpees and Strength Challenge This was actually really fun! It was 10 different burpee variations alternated with 5 strength moves and the whole thing is repeated. You do 10 burpees each round and then the strength exercise. So each burpee variation is done twice and the strength exercises four times. It played out more like an endurance workout and the last few rounds felt tough! Christine does not speed through this and I finished most of the burpee rounds before she did. I’d say the hardest variation was the star burpee: plank, jump to a jack push-up, back to plank, jump up and do an air jack. 7. 60 min FiiT yoga class We did two separate AMRAPs. The first was more strength based and the second had more cardio. Lots of pushups today and I was really feeling them after yesterday. 8. Rest 9. Christine Salus Total Body HiiT and Sculpt + 60 min hot yoga class + 3 mile walk This Christine workout had three different sections and it was just under 45 mins. I had to add on my own warm up. Modified the box jump burpees, just used a 10 inch step to jump up. 10. Travel Day Yes I got into that big Petri dish in the sky It can’t any worse for me than going to work. No formal workout but according to my phone I have 22,000 steps. We did not rent a car so we’ll be hoofing it (and using Uber!). 11. Barlates Endurance 90 Total Body and Target 15 Squats and Raises 12. 3 mile run 13. 4.5 mile walk 14. 1 hr bike ride and 3 mile walk My husband did not want to bike, and tried to weasel his way out of it, which would have been fine but he wanted to do almost everything together this week. It’s been about 20 years since we’ve biked together. It’s nice to explore on a bike even though I ride at a pretty leisurely pace. So after the ride he was talking about getting a cruiser for home. Ugh! He’s really one of those people that hates to try things and then realizes how enjoyable they are. 15. 3 mile walk Flew back home this afternoon. I did a ton of walking this week, almost too much for me!! We had to walk to and from restaurants for dinner and even though that was at a leisurely pace it added 2-3 miles to my day everyday. The weather was really beautiful. 16. Rest I had to get out to run errands, do some food shopping early to beat the crowds! I’m going to try to get something in this afternoon but I’m feeling a little beat up! My shoulders are stiff fro carrying a backpack and the sitting on the plane. 17. Barlates Endurance 100 Up and Down + 3 mile run Got back into it with one of my favorite Barlates endurance workouts then went out for a run. Bundled up and did it. 18. 3 mile walk + Millionaire Hoy 35 min Full Body Kettlebell HiiT workout + 5 parks Yoga 30 min power yoga I had to get up early and go with my dad to a doctor’s appointment and I took a walk right after that. When I got home I did a couple of YouTube workouts. This was my first Millionaire Hoy workout and I really liked it. I think he left YouTube just as I was getting into streaming but he’s been posting a 30 min workout everyday this week. He was fun and very motivational! He seems like a really sincere guy. This was 30 45/15 intervals. I used a 20# and 25# KBs, plus dumbbells a couple times when he uses two KBs. It was a great metabolic workout. Ended with some good old 5 parks to get my yoga in. Nice flow class. 19. Christine Salus Gains and Shredz + 3 mile run All gyms and fitness centers are closed here in NJ which means I have my husband working out in the basement with me now. I tried to pick one that we could both do without overlapping equipment. This one had an warmup, a lower body rep based section that repeated 3 times, a 9 minute HiiT cardio/core section that is done 30/10. Then it’s an upper body rep based section repeated 3 times and the same HiiT section at the end. The format really made it go by fast. It was harder than my husband expected. I tried to pick an easier workout but he’s used to straight weightlifting more than this style of a workout. There’s a front/side lay raise exercise and I questioned him using 10# weights. He said there’s no way they’re 10#, they have to be heavier Cracked me up. He really enjoyed it too! We stretched and then went for a run on the boardwalk. I think I’ll have company most mornings now but I can’t imagine him being able to do Barlates workouts. Just trying to enjoy things we wouldn’t normally have time for. 20. Christine Salus 7x7 HiiT + Strength Fat Burning Circuit + 2 mile walk Worked our with my husband again (probably the new normal) so I try to choose something that doesn’t need a ton of equipment or that is choreographed. We added the warm up from yesterday’s workout since this one doesn’t include one. Loved the structure too, it was like opening a Russian matryoshka doll and then putting it back together. Weird comparison but it’s what it made me think about. It was tougher than yesterday’s workout too. Went for an outside walk after. 21. Barlates Endurance 110 Cardio Sculpt and Bodyweight Basics Mat + 2 mile walk My husband did try this with me but it wasn’t for him. He found it too complicated which I can understand. I’m going to try a simpler one with him. We’re under a stay at home order now but it does allow for solitary outside exercise which is good news among a lot of bad news. More good news, liquor stores were deemed essential I really slept poorly last night. I feel like all the stress and overwhelming news coverage just seeped into my dreams. We’re watching Tiger King on Netflix. It’s what you need to be watching now. I’m finding it horrifying and fascinating at the same time!!! 22. Millionaire Hoy 60 min Circuit Body crusher w/Abs Best Body 2 #8 + 2 mile walk I signed up for Hoy Pro, the first month is a free trial so there’s plenty of time to decide whether to keep it or not. My husband really enjoyed this and we both thought it was tough. There’s a little PIP that previews the next move during the (short) rest and shows modifications during the exercise. This was a fast paced workout with three circuits that are each repeated once. Most exercises are done in 40/10 intervals and there’s a 30 second rest between each circuit. The fourth circuit is all core one time through. My core was beat even before the last section! I felt it was a bit more upper body/core/cardio. There’s just so many exercises that incorporate pushups and planks. This was a thumbs up, especially since I’m trying to find workouts that we can both do and enjoy. We went for a two mile walk after our workout, the new normal I guess At least we’re getting to spend more time than usual together. 23. HoyPro 60 min Advanced Lower Body #20 + Heart Alchemy Restorative Yoga (45) The MH was 49 rounds of 45/15 all lower body. It was a sweater! The pacing reminded me of a Cathe live metabolic workout. This was tough but really enjoyable. We did an afternoon relaxing yoga session followed by a 10 min meditation. The practice was basically savasana in different positions. I cleaned and reorganized the workout room today. I added 16 more puzzle mats to enlarge the area now that I have company. 24. HoyPro 60 min Adv UB #2 + YB Covid-19 at home 30 min cardio workout MH’s upper body workout was tough! There’s so many pushups in this. It’s done 45/15 same as yesterday’s LB workout. My chest was really sore the day after too. 25. Cathe Boxing Bootcamp KB only premix + PYFH Strong Free and Happy Wanted to do a little cardio before yoga. PYFH is one of my oldest dvds that I haven’t gotten rid of. It always makes me smile. 26. Cathe Live TBGS + 3 mile walk I resubscribed to live while we’re home bound. I think it’s going to be a mix of Live and Hoy Pro. It’s has to be over a year since I did TBGS and it didn’t seem as hard as I remembered. Don’t get me wrong it was plenty and I was breathing hard but the lower body and core circuits felt a bit easier. I did go heavier than Cathe on some of the lower body, especially the slider work. The core work was much more doable, especially the last core section, I can remember feeling like I was about to collapse in the past. 27. HoyPro 60 min Advanced ABAB HiiT and Strength #15 + 2 mile walk This was a sweaty workout! 13 rounds of two pairs. The “A” exercise was more cardio based and the “B” was more strength/conditioning. Both had me huffing and puffing. There was a 30 second rest between each circuit. He ends with a 8 core exercises done 45/15. Tougher than I expected. 28. HoyPro 60 min Lower Body Plyo & Strength #27 + Strong and Sweaty Bonus Abs Weighted legs and plyo 45/15. Tacked on some Cathe abs since my husband wanted to do some extra abs. I’m missing my bodyweight workouts so much. That’s how my abs got stronger! 29. Cathe Live Upper Body Bootcamp + 2 mile walk + YouTube yoga wheel stretch I used the bosu and sliders for the ball. Great workout and my chest is still sore. I love when my husband argues with me that they’re not really 10# weights, “they feel so much heavier“. 30. Heather Robertson Crazy Full Body HiiT workout— no equipment + bike ride + HoyPro 30 min pajama stretch yoga I really needed something a bit easier today, we cleaned out the garage this afternoon. We still have much more trash to get rid of but we can only put so much out each week! It was 10 degrees cooler than I would have liked for a bike ride but it’s just better to get outside everyday if I can. I haven’t spent so much time outside in March since I was a kid, finally used all that stuff I bought to run outside in the winter 31. 3 mile walk + 30 min YouTube Jessica Smith Stretch Jane |
