Great workout Sarah! I am sooo envious of what you can do, but I know you worked hard to get there. Hopefully one day, I'll get there too!

Okay, so do I have to do it with weights? I have a set of 8lb dumbbells I could use to add up to 16 pounds to do them, if I need to have weights!

Hey ladies! I did lower body:

Squats (the ones you showed me the other night where you actually touch yer bum to the bench) 32 lbs (this is the highest weight I have--need more)
Standing calf raises 32 lbs (definitely not enough)
Plies (21 lbs)
Deadlifts 32 lbs (not enough)
Abs 144, upper, lower, side crunches 36 each muscle group

I MUST go buy more plates this weekend. The arms are sore from the other night's workout, but not nearly as sore as last time, but I dropped the weight 10 lbs.

Gotta go change my siggy!

Great job Joy! LOL I find it so hard to believe you and I actually want to go buy MORE weights! When I got these things.. it was all I could do to look at what I had without wincing!

hi girls! I so derailed my lifting progress this week. I was in no shape to do it, so I am not going to dwell on it but I hate that I lost the momentum, ya know? Well, square 1 calls my name!

everyone else getting along fine? Of course, I already know the answer to that! I doubt even strep could get down sarah and jas - they would probably lay in bed and do leg lifts or something! LOL

I woke up counting situps this morning! LOL

I'm glad you're feeling somewhat better. Especially since you had to endure the needle torture!

15 minutes of Start It Up video, was too much for my legs after lower body last night. The reason I did it was my arms were aching soooooo bad this morning. I couldn't even reach around to scratch an itch on my shoulder they hurt so bad. Soooo, I decided to work the pain out. My grandfather used to say, what put it in will take it out (re: pain)...so I did the videos. Guess what, my arms aren't achy and stiff...and I can reach all around. Sooo, maybe that's what I need to do when my muscles are real achy, is to do some sort of exercise (non-weighted) on the off days for that muscle group, just to get them moving.

Then I did 25 minutes on the elliptical and got my heart rate up to 197 (according to the ellip, that doesn't always work right). I talked to 2Big and got some information on how to HIIT. I'm going to try to go get a heart rate monitor today, and some extra plates.
