4.16.10 Catch Up...Again

With two birthdays and Easter falling in the first two weeks of this month, it's no wonder I couldn't keep up with this.

Boot Camp 4X a week, lots of long race walks, time spent on the elliptical, extra back sets.

A good visit to the chiropractor w/a wonderful massage.

Got hired by a national in-home personal training company and the first client they asked me to take was FIVE HOURS AWAY. I think they got my 20 mile radius a little bit confused with a 300 mile radius!

When I get around to it, I'll post a couple of more playlists from my boot camp class.

4.9 - 4.10.09

Besides the hour of cardio on 4.9 already mentioned I wound up back at the gym with my daughter in the evening. 30 minutes elliptical, 10 minutes Stairmaster, 15 minutes stationary bike and 10 minutes for a quick back set. (lat pulldown, seated cable row, upright cable row).

4.10.10 - Body Boot Camp 1 hr 20 min; a run with a couple of friends 40 minutes. We ended up mixing running & racewalking. The transition back to pavement and the great outdoors is causing shin splint issues in our group.

Too much catch up to catch up

I've been so crazy busy and so much has been going on around here. Basically, I've taught my Body Boot Camp class 4X a week. I've gotten 45 - 60 minutes of extra cardio on those days. On the other days I've done 1 - 1 1/2 hours of cardio and some yoga sprinkled in. One day off a week, usually - or "active" rest. Rode the bike on the trails with my daughter for over an hour last Saturday and got "bicycle butt." Ouch - lasted for days. I need a cushy seat!

Today I trained a client at 5:45am then stuck around for an hour of cardio.

My biggest news is that I am now employed by Team Fitness America and can't wait to start training clients for them!

Days behind...again! 3.7 - 3.12.10

Life has been crazy and extremely stressful. Let's see if I can remember what's up with my workouts.

3.7.10 - Sunday morning. I had been up for hours worrying, so I went to the gym for 45 minutes cardio before church. It was a tempo run. At some time in the afternoon, I went for a 50 minute racewalk.

3.8.10 - one hour morning cardio, 1 hr 15 min. Body Boot Camp.

3.9.10 - one 55 minute racewalk, 1 hr 20 min Body Boot Camp.

3.10.10 - Day off. Over stressed. Sinuses acting up. Miserable.

3.11.10 - One hour morning cardio - elliptical & stationary bike. 1 hr 20 min Body Boot Camp.

3.12.10 - One hour - 45 min elliptical, 15 min stationary bike.

I haven't been getting a lot of sleep due to the whammy life dealt us. I'm going to work on relaxation techniques and try to stop worry in its tracks. After all, the Bible does say, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything with prayer and supplication make your requests known to God."

3.5 - 3.6.10

On Friday I woke up with a cold and figured I'd make it a rest day. But as the day wore on I felt physically better but emotionally stressed and absolutely *needed* some cardio to burn off the angst. Ended up at the gym at 7pm for 40 min on the elliptical and 20 min on the stationary bike. Once again all the good treadmills were in use.

This morning I got in 10 minutes on the elliptical and then led a 1 hr 20 min boot camp class. I think we got a great work out in, 'twas very sweaty indeed. :) The day is still young and it has warmed up a bit, so I might go for a walk or even a RUN!!

3.3 - 3.4.10

3.3.10 - One hour of cardio - 50 minutes on elliptical, 10 minutes on the Stairmaster (someone was using it most of the time and *all* of the treadmills were taken). 30 minutes of yoga in the afternoon.

3.4.10 - One hour of cardio - 40 elliptical, 20 stationary bike. 1 hr 15 min Body Boot Camp. Today was a Thursday Three Hundred and it definitely helped me burn off some serious stress.

I've been sleeping LOUSY lately - my GWF testifies to that. Way too much stress!

Another Catch Up! 2.26 - 3.2.10

Life has been crazy...again. What else is new? Let's see if I can remember what is what. Before that though, I checked out the S.W.A.T. boot camp style workout DVD and it is soooo simple compared to my class. I was bored - it was very, very boring.

2.26.10 - Stressed out, fried - I think I took this day off.

2.27.10 - Body Boot Camp 1 hr 25 minutes. I seem to remember doing a little extra cardio in the evening. 45 min or an hour?

2.28.10 - An hour of cardio while watching the US & Canada play hockey.

3.1.10 - 1 hr cardio in the AM, 1 hr 20 min boot camp class in the PM.

3.2.10 - That's today! 1 hr cardio - elliptical and stationary bike. 1 hr 25 min boot camp class.
