I cannot believe I let Monday go by without Manjoyment. That ain't right. And I'm sorry for letting you down my peeps. Forgive me. This is why, we substitute Wednesday WOOT! Factor with some MANWICH time. Enter Ricky Martin.
Please Dear God Make Him Straight Again. Is this too much to ask?
Suddenly, I don't feel as bad as I did earlier. Suddenly the world is full of daisies.
MEOW.
Gotta run kittens, just wanted to belt out some love to you. And here is a two-vlog ramble-a-thon about. well, about what I've been talking about this week. Getting a realistic mindset. Is this doable?
Here is part one:
And part two:
Question of the Day: Do YOU ever have the tendency to have an "all-or-nothing" mindset? Do YOU ever feel like when you don't do your plan exactly that you want to "start over"? If so, how do you deal?
This goes out to you Ricky. I know, I know, you are OUT now, but I still think you are SMOKIN!. Dang. Triple Dang.
Happy Monday Kids!! Did you kick butt today? I did. 840 calories worth!! Can I get an AMEN? Mondays are ALWAYS a crazy day, work-wise, for me. We have a group sales meeting and then conferences with our boss-man. So, Mondays always end up with me frazzle and doing my workouts and my vlogs late, which annoys me but oh well.
So, I did Cathe HIIT 30/30. I really need to branch out and do her other HIIT workouts, I think today I chose 30/30 because I was worried about cramping, I recall the 40/20 being much TOUGHER. Anyhoo, I did the 30/30 and then moved into a Shoulder Blast workout. I had just read in the latest Muscle & Fitness HERS magazine about TABATA workouts and I know I've seen these on other bloggers' blogs, but I need to read a bit more. Based on my quick perusal, I see that you work up to doing like 8 sets of say, shoulder presses. When you've built up to this endurance level, you would do 8 sets at 20 seconds each, resting 10 seconds in between. I started my first sets on that level, then I look at the magazine and it says for the first month to go for 30 seconds, resting for a minute in between. I modified that and did 15 seconds of reps followed by 15 seconds of rest. I did 8 sets for each move. Below was my shoulder blast. I'm going to read up more on Tabata tonight.
Tabata Style Overhead Press: Used 10lbs weights, 8 sets.
Tabata Style Lateral Raise: Used 8lbs weights, 8 sets.
Tabata Style Bent Over Lateral Raise: Used 8lbs weights, 8 sets.
Next Circuit:
Front Raise, Straight Arm: Used 10lb weights, 12 reps. Rest 10 seconds then:
Bent Arm Lateral Raise: Used 10lb weights, 12 reps. Rest 10 seconds then:
"Bicep Push Ups" (a made up move for biceps/shoulders): Used 8lb weights, 12 reps.
Did this circuit 3x.
Next Circuit:
Upright Row, 12lb weights, 12 reps, Rest 10 then:
Overhead Arnold press: 10lb weights, 12 reps, Rest 10 then:
Single Side Lateral Raise, at angle: Used 12lb weights, 12 reps each arm.
Did this circuit 3x each.
In between all the sets, I would run up and down my stairs 2x to get my heart rate up. Then when I was finished with this, I was at about 640 calories, so I wanted to hit 800. That was for me, because I didn't workout on Saturday. So I went for a walk in my neighborhood and it was AWESOME~!
Feeling KILLER right now. CRUSHED IT!!! ;-)
Enjoy a double dose of KO right now, followed by some more Manjoyment, or vice versa. Peace Out.
