Thanks Wendy! I just finished HR's Killer Leg Day . I like this workout so much becasue it is strengh/endurance training. I do take a few extra rests. The warm up is longer and more thorough than HR's other workouts and the stretch is super effectie compared to her other workouts. I used heavier weights this time.
I would love to see HR workouts set to CDorner's music slections. CDorner chats WAY too much for my liking and it seems to have gotten worse in her later workouts. CDorner puts a lot of time into selecting music that goes with her workouts. I would do more of her mobility workouts if it wasn't for the constant talking. HR's music selections drive me nuts. I'm too lazy to find my own music. Also, why do I have to watch the same opening to all of CDorner's workouts. She will chat and then do her opening and it doesn't make sense to me. I guess I needed to gripe a bit tonight...LOL!

It's been a few days since I've done a workout. I've been dog sitting so I've been taking lots of walks. The client lives in a condo, so I don't have the option of just letting the dogs out in the yard. I don't really mind as I like walking outdoors and these dogs are so sweet. I wish all client's dogs were this nice! I'm helping another client whose dog had ACL surgery. The dog is big and strong and isn't supposed to use steps. Well, their house has steps out to the backyard. I'm needed to use a harness to help get the dog down the steps (without using his back legs) and outside to go to the bathroom. He hasn't been too thrilled with me.
I mowed the yard today, too, so no "official" workout for me since I've been so active otherwise. Gigi- I've done one CDorner workout and I'll just say I'm not a fan. I know tons of people love her, but her style is not for me.

So today I did day 1 of CG's Fuel series- Legs. I really liked it! I used my 25s throughout except for the bulgarian lunges where I dropped to 20s. The cardio portions definitely had my heart rate UP! I had not planned to do this workout today as I didn't even realize she had started this series already. I had previewed a HR workout to do that was legs with cardio finisher to complement the muscle worked, which is exactly what CGs workout is. So I think it was kind of meant to be. Also, I bought some new weight gloves and wanted to try them out (yay- I like them!) I always wondered how Caroline lifts without gloves. My hands get sweaty and I definitely need gloves to help grip my weights!

Caroline Girvan- Fuel Day 2- Upper Body Circuits & Cluster Sets
I didn't think I was going to do this workout today. I previewed it while having my morning coffee and there is definitely a dread factor with this one. I SUCK at tricep pushups. I can only do them from my knees. It's like my body proportions make me incapable of doing them from my toes. And tricep dips. Oh lord...and a cluster set (6 rounds) of them. Yikes! My lower body is sore from yesterday's workout, can I even make it through today's workout? I decided to give it a go and if I had to bail on it, so be it. But I made it through it. I must be getting stronger because the tricep dips (from my transfirmer) didn't bother me. My heart rate was in the cardio zone with this workout, and I feel great after completing it since I was dreading it in the beginning! I have a feeling my triceps will be screaming at me tomorrow, though.

I know what you mean about it being unbalanced. This workout was very tricep heavy. But I'm used to that with the shorter CG workouts. You can't get everything in in 30 minutes. I bet an upcoming arms workout will focus on areas missed in this workout. Fuel 1 really fried my legs and they are sore today. It's a good soreness- not too bad and I know my legs were worked. I would definitely do the legs workout again.
