CLippity CLop, Giddy Ouch

Yesterday I went for another ride so that being said I am sore today.  I thought I was doing ok, but there is no escaping the dreaded horse rider inner thigh pain...and that #^*$ hip flexor.  I stretched, I really did...looked like a real"pro" or should I say not... stretching before saddling up..lol..Realization.......... I'm not getting younger...or at least my hips aren't.  So stretching today and then I'll do a workout tomorrow...have to be kind to the body...ya ya I'm listening to you.

Hot Mess Workout Beating Personal Best

After bouldering yesterday and the workout the night before I thought I should take the advise from my health care professional and take it easy on the hips..they were stiff last night so I did this today and although I didn't use my sweet little Cargo I did make sure that I did all the squats and lunges as low as I could go.  Round 1 completed in 15:34, old time 20:59. Round 2 completed in 16:27, old time 23:32. Rockin :)

Yesterday

I forgot to update my happenings yesterday, so here they are. I went bouldering and now I'm sore :), But I definitely have more strength than when I started and I can tackle some rock courses that were not doable before.

GAGA for Pocker Face Workout Beating Personal Best

Well I got my workout in tonight...yesterday just didn't happen and tonight almost bit the dust too because my little nano was dead, and I can not workout without the tunes, but 20 mins charging did the trick.  Well...overall I did pretty well and improved in all the numbers except for my last set of right leg round kicks, where my hip just wouldn't do anymore.  Here are my numbers:
Surfer : 14, 13, 12, 11
Round kick knee: 14, 15, 14, 9
Round kick knee left:14, 15, 14, 15
1-2-3 push-up:13, 13, 12, 12
Ninja Jump:3, 3, 3, 0

Hot Curves Challenge

I've had to take it a little easy with the workouts so I took yesterday off.  I had my hip checked out and it seems I have some fluid there...although he also said that I was retaining alot of fluid everywhere and he was questioning my increase in muscle mass in such a sort amount of time.  NICE...That being said and a few words I passed onto the osteopath...I'm feeling not too bad, but I'm supposed to take things easy where it involves ... let me see how he said it "spreading my hips open", now how can one keep a straight face to that...even from a professional.lol.....so lots of stretching is needed before.............horseback riding, climbing, and workouts of any kind...as for this challenge...don't worry I did alot of stretching :) 41 sets.

Red Hot Workout

The sitting pull-ups were painful...my wrist were killing me...this exercise is where I lost most of my time 9 minutes!!!...The high knees are getting better and better, and surprisingly those crazy push-ups were ok until I got to 40 and then it got severely shaky.  My total time for this workout was 27 minutes...

A Walk about

Yesterday Porsha our pooch and I went for a nice walk...I've had to slow down my pace for her.  I can't believe she's going to be 11 years old..that's like 77 in dog years.  Anyways, then I walked downtown for a coffee date...Gotta love those

4 Minute Workout

I added this to the end of the crazy around the world workout today since I was already all sweaty and figured it was "JUST" 4 minutes...wow...my poor poor legs...and the push-ups finished anything left in my chest and shoulders. Here is my results:

Push-ups: 5, 4, 4, 3, 3.5, 3.5
Jumps: 3.5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

Just Can't Get Enough Workout

This workout required some major brain power...hockey...I actually had to practise it for several minutes before I got the right idea...that being said I finished the 60 reps in 12:09....and boy I thought it would be the shoulders that would be burning the most, but it was the legs...I did 15 minutes of skipping this morning with the girls outside...and I am going to give myself a little pat on the back for being brave enough to do it at the front of the house for all the neighbours to see, but a pleasant surprise is that somehow, somewhere I have acquired coordination for this "skipping"thing.  I gave myself a little thrill by being able to do cross overs, high knees and scissors without whipping myself...amazing and I will have admit...FUN...skipping here I come.

Lose Yourself Workout

When technology goes to pot it sure can throw a wrench into the schedule, but not my workouts...just the posting part...that being said this workout had my head spinning...wow I really found it intense...Darn those Dive bombers, my shoulders and chest are killing me today...maybe I can find someone here who will have pity on me and give me a massage :) I also did some skipping outside with this awesome spring weather...so nice finally...It appears that my "fake" skipping has paid off because the whipping myself ratio to skipping has drastically dropped and I was actually working up a sweat instead of bruises, so keeping practising. Here are my numbers
Dive Bombers: 12, 9, 6.5, 6
Sandbag Squat/Lunge : 13, 14, 14, 14
Hanging Knee raises: 24, 20, 17, 18
Snowboarder: 17, 23, 20, 20

Mr.Vain Workout Challenge

This one really made you think about what you were doing..30 was my total...right form?...it's hard to tell from that angle :) I also did the push-ups at the end and some abs with the stability ball...add a little extra burn.  No skipping...I have to get my arse in gear with that.

Only Girl in the World Workout

Yesterday I took the pooch out for a nice long walk to enjoy the beautiful weather and that helped stretch out that darn hip flexor, which is feeling better.  Today I did this workout which was actually not too bad...I used the Cargo for the lunge chops but not the squats...and man who would have thought that 20 seconds, 8 times could feel a lot longer.  Here are my results,
Lunge Chop 29, 34, 30, 30
Side Jump & Santana push-up 7, 7, 7, 6
round trip jump squat, 27, 28, 30, 26
High knees..fun fun fun

Pretty Fly Exercise Challenge

Yesterday it got late and I didn't get my workout in, but I did it today and maybe tonight I'll fit another one in...I'll see.  I wanted to get 17 sets done, better luck next time...I completed 15 sets...and that right hip flexor is still giving me grief so I think it's time for some intervention.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend and a fun start to the March Break.

Set Fire Workout

I had time this morning to fit this workout in so I went for it!!! Those sliding push-ups were brutal, and required more coordination than putting mascara on...I think I was even making the "face".  I switched between doing the sliding ones on my knees to doing normal push-ups full form.Here are my numbers
Mountain Climber Lunges: 6, 6, 7, 7
Sliding Push-ups:3 not on knees, 3 on knees, 9 normal, 7 sliding knee, 6 normal
Crunch scissors: 14, 12, 10, 11
Reverse Push-up w/ knee tuck:10, 10, 11, 10

Best Butt Exercise Challenge

I think I did get things a little mixed up with the workout order, sorry. But, (haha) for those who did this workout, now you can comment on your results.  I did 10 sets of one legged squats and then I did 50 butt down to the floor and slowly all the way up 2 legged squats.  The 20 mins of skipping was fun and then I did some stability ball abs exercises.  The right hip flexor is still giving me grief, lots of stretching was done after this workout.

550 Rep Massacre Workout

I think this is the one we're supposed to do today..oh well, it's done and it wasn't too bad until my right hip flexor decided to kink up again, but I managed.  The push-ups I got to 25 until I had to break them into sets of 5 that took me to 50.  I think we'll feel this in our butts and hamstrings tomorrow. Don't forget to stretch.  My time for this was 28:01.

Rest Day

No workout for me tonight, just some serious stretching and 3 sets of push-ups.  I'm still trying to get my body to stand upright when I walk...so I'm giving myself a little breather until tomorrow's 550 rep fun.
I have a coffee date with a girlfriend which will be fun, now if only it didn't kill when I try to cross my legs, I guess that will promote good sitting posture. cheers

Halo Of Sweat Workout

This morning I had another date with Lilly at the barn, and man were my legs already hurting half way through the ride, which is bad sign on what's to come.  So since I was already sweaty and really smelly I figured I might as well do the workout before hitting the shower. Now I have had tightness in my hip flexors before, but never a cramp, and HOLY #^&%, does that hurt.  It attacked during the those darn reptiles and I'm still trying to stretch it out. The results were ok for this one...I did make sure I did the full arm form for the push-ups which felt so great with my already sore chest, and now I have the matching legs and abs to go with it...Perfect...I'll be walking pretty tomorrow, here are my reps:
Sumo Jumps w/knee ups: 14, 15, 15
Sumo Pulse Calve raise: 23, 23, 21
Reptile on the run: 40, 30, 19
Reptile Push-ups, 2, 2, 2
Knee Hugs: 16, 11, 9
Ab burn out: 39, 37, 42

Counter Strike Fat Workout

I can not lie, when I saw this workout the first thought that popped into my head was, "this is going to suck".  My chest and shoulders are still sore from all the climbing and workout the day before, so a whole 12 minutes of push-ups was not on the top of my fun to do list.  Considering that, I'm really happy with my score on this workout.  I did not do one chicken peck...and I have a very sore throbbing chest and shoulders to prove it...I completed 31 reps...I haven't looked at tomorrow's workout but I'm hoping that it has to do with legs...I can't believe I just said that ;)

The Trainer Who Loved Me Workout

I remember this workout, and those star lifts.  By the time I got to the monkey business my legs where shaking on the way up and back down from the jumps.  I had no strength left in my arms for the full set of push-ups for this.  I went bouldering again this morning for 1.5 hrs which was awesome, but used up a lot of my upper body strength for the day, so I manage to do 45 plain old push-ups with the break dance move and then the rest from my knees. My time was 32:08.

You Push Me Workout

Well I have a funny story why I didn't manage a workout yesterday and it has to do with a little or maybe big pot of Holy Basil Tea that was seeping over night.  You see, I often like to sip on cold tea instead of drinking plain old water, so I poured myself several glasses of this tea in the afternoon and sipped away happily.  Lots of you know that I've been trying new and adventurous healthy food items lately and this tea is one of them.  I guess I should have read the bag more closely, which states "a key rejuvenating tonics in Ayurveda.  For centuries, the herb was used before meditation in order to calm the mind and encourage a blissful state", well that explains alot. Before I passed out at 8:00 I was floating around in a blissful state alright, so walking a straight line was out of the question never mind a workout :)  Just keeping it fresh...haha...Did the workout tonight...left out Cargo because my quads really don't need any help getting bigger, so I'm just trying to increase the reps. Also did the extra push-ups to work towards that 30 goal.  Here are my scores,
Kick over and Knee raise : 16, 15, 13.5
Side jump lunge : 50, 49, 45
Reptile push-up alternating : 19, 15, 10
Squat ; 19, 18, 18
High Knees : 110, 100, 115

On the Floor - Abs Challenge

I'm still walking funny today, as one of you pointed out :) Due to the horseback riding.  It's funny but it sort of assures me that I'm doing it right.  As for this workout...at first I thought it looked really easy and I would be whipping through the reps and posting some really impressive sets...not so much.
The mountain climbers were great, but those straight leg lifts with the arms over the head at me sweating. I managed to get 5 sets of 20 completed in 10 minutes plus  I worked on my push-ups and did 3 sets of 6 full slow push-ups and in between I did some chin-ups for fun.

Survivor Workout

My inner thighs were killing me before doing this workout but they're right when they say that working out will help make your sore muscles feel better...until tomorrow morning :(...For this workout I found the break dance push-ups really hard to coordinate because my arms were too close to my body after finishing the kicks so I spent most of my time shifting around my feet.  As for the one-legged squat...I'm still working on building strength in the 2 legs so that's what I did...used both for that exercise.

I think I'm going to revise my push-up challenge to a number that will be a little more attainable for me..30..and who knows with the training maybe I'll surprise myself...but for now that's the goal.
Backwards lunge w/kick-up left: 22, 19
Backwards lunge w/kick-up right: 22, 20
One arm Press-up: 10, 10
2 Kick-up, w/break dance push-up: 7, 4
Pike Jump and Squat Jump: 8, 8

Squats with jump tuck, 50 reps in 5 minutes.
