$10 sports bras at Target this week!!!

EXCEPT THEY DIDN'T GET THEIR SHIPMENT IN! WTF!!! I got a rain check for 2 though...so that when they DO come in...I can go back and get them! :-)

Today Krystle (a client) and I went to yoga this morning...what a great way to start your day! Plus it was rainy and it's Sunday....so, so perfect!

Tomorrow I meet Brenda at the gym for Bis, Tris, Shoulders and Cardio...

We are all moved out of the location I teach my classes at...moving into the new place this week!

Will check the scale tomorrow...hope I kept it off this weekend!!!

Until Next Time!!!

Yes! I'm down another pound, but can I keep it off through the weekend!?!?

Question of the day: What do you look forward to more after a 2 hour workout? A shower...or food??? Today I chose food...but normally it's a really hard decision!

So AFTER I ate I stepped on the scale before the shower and it said 133lbs! Yippie! I have a wedding next week on Friday...I would like to be UNDER 130...think I can swing that in a week? I might cheat and take water pills next week...now, hear me out...I know that will only be a temp fix...and it'll all comeback but I'm thinking I might only want to do that to avoid looking puffy and/or swollen all dressed up. Your thoughts?

No video today...but hopefully over the weekend. Today was chest and back (push/pull) and cardio. Brenda and I killed it as usual! This one really wears you out...I'm literally BEAT after. Here is what we did:

Warm Up - 5 mins Elliptical Level 10

1) Row Machine - 15x (I did 90lbs all 3 sets)

2) Chest Press Machine - 15x (I did 80lbs all 3 sets)

3) Elliptical 3 mins level 25 (highest level) Really using arms to push and pull

REPEAT 3 TIMES

1) Lat Pulldown - 15x (I did 70lbs, 75lbs, 80lbs)

2) Incline DB Flys - 15x (I did 15lbs)

3) Elliptical 3 mins level 25 - PUSH/PULL

REPEAT 3 TIMES

1) Push ups

2) Arch Ups

For this one do 15 push ups then 15 arch ups, then 14 and 14, all the way down to 1 and 1 (no rest)

30 minute Elliptical - Start at level 1 and increase 2 levels each minute. Once you reach the highest level hold for 2 minutes then drop down 1 level each minute until you get to 30 minutes.

I still feel this one and I've been home from the gym for over 3 hours!

I have 2 clients tonight and then out for one of my client's birthdays. Maybe I'll take and post pics!

Everyone have a good weekend!

Until Next time!

Thursday, Sept 24, 2009 Weigh In

I plan to take measurements this weekend too so I can update those numbers as well.

Weigh In Video

LEG DAY! And other stuff

Pre-workout video...

So I didn't have time to record another video so I'll just do it the old fashion way!!!

Leg Day is always tough....but it always feels the best when you are done. Brenda kicked MY butt today...and I wrote up the stupid workout! LOL

Here is the work out:

5 minute Warm up - Treadmill - Incline 0/Speed 3.0 (every :30 increase incline by 1 and speed by .2 until 5 mins)

2) Treadmill - incline 8.0, speed 2.0, Walking Lunges 1 min...Keep incline at 8.0, speed 3.0 walk 1 min...Keep incline at 8.0, speed 5.0 jog 1 min

REPEAT THIS 4 TIMES

1) Leg Extension Drop Set - 6reps, 8 reps, 10 reps, 12 reps (find a weight you can do 6 reps with then drop down 5 or 10lbs and do 8, etc, etc, etc)

2) 25 Pop Squats

REPEAT THIS 3 TIMES

1) Leg Curl Drop Set - 6reps, 8 reps, 10 reps, 12 reps

2) 25 Bench Step Ups each leg

REPEAT THIS 3 TIMES

ABS

1) Hanging leg raise in Captain's Chair (legs in a pike position) 15x

2) Full Sit up 15x

3) Rock and Stands (I'll have to post a video of this one) 15x

REPEAT THIS 3 TIMES

Then we did 30 mins of easy walking cardio.

BTW...The meeting went great with the new location and we will be moving there...if not next week...the week after that. YAY! Lots of work to do to get ready for that...but happy we are going to have somewhere to go!

I'm stinky and need a shower...LOL.

Until Next Time!!!

Drum Roll Please..................

So, I decided to create a video diary...the only thing is, I thought that my video editing program would be much better than it is...so I might have to invest in a better one for the future...for now I have to put this into 3 clips because when I tried importing the video into the editor...only the sound came over and not the video part...so just bare with me! I hope to have it all in ONE video clip at some point...until then, this is how I will do it...


Clip One - Intro (Don't mind the SUPER close up, slicked back sweaty hair, and no makeup look)

Clip Two - The Scale...AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Clip Three - Photos of my Quarter Turns

New Idea!!!!

So, I have this new and exciting (well, exciting to me!!!) idea for my next blog post! This is just a teaser!!! I have to work on it a bit...but will post soon!!!!

In the mean time...today was bi's, tri's, shoulders, and cardio....went with Brenda...and we did awesome!!! Working in cardio in between super, triple, and/or monster sets makes a WORLD of difference...I mean you REALLY feel it. Then tacking on another 30 minutes of interval cardio after....I think it's working for us...we will see in a week or two...I think the girls are changing and feeling (and seeing) a difference in themselves...

How's everyone else getting along???

Until next time!

Team Universe...2010???

This weekend was the BIG weekend...the LAST time all NPC fitness hopefuls had a chance for IFBB status in 2009. I am so happy to say my backstage friend, Ariel, is now the YOUNGEST IFBB pro....it's so exciting...she's only 17!

This leads me to a new long term goal. I will still train and get ready for November...but that will just be a stepping stone to the long term goal of competing at Team U in 2010.

If I were to win my Pro card, I would love to win it there because it's local. Looks like I am on a 365 day count down...

NEED...TO...FOCUS....NEED...TO...PRIORITIZE....

Until next time....
