Time is flying by - good grief! I won't be sad to see summer and this heat end, for sure. But it's amazing how quickly the weeks pass.
This week will not be a great eating week. Sometimes life intrudes upon our goals and this is one of those times. I'll keep up the workouts, though, shirking any days off between now and week eight, which will be a complete break from working out. Mr. Higgins' parents will be in town that week and working out is not an option.
So, here we go, week five.....
Monday: Michelle Dozois' Rockin' Body Cardio
I consider this to be a lighter workout and I needed this after two days of Peak 10 workouts. But I always forget how much this one works me - and how much I sweat. It's good old-fashioned cardio and my heart rates gets up and stays up for the duration!
Tuesday: Jari Love's Get Extremely RIPPED! - Workout 2 and Michelle Dozois' Tight and Toned Core on Glo
I was ready to do some weights this morning and Jari gave me a great workout. Even though this workout has no real cardio, the compound weighted exercises always get me sweating. To finish off my 50 minutes of workout out, I did Michelle's Tight and Toned Core on Glo. I surprised myself by being able to do a few of the harder moves but was disappointed when I struggled with others. Sigh.
Wednesday: Body Fit 360 by Michelle Dozois
Since I didn't do a fusion/yoga/pilates workout last week, I was excited to do one today. And it was fun. As always, I love the intense stretching at the end of the workout!
Thursday: Two lighter workouts on Glo with Dozois' Supercharge Intervals in the middle
I began by doing a ten minute light cardio workout to warm-up. Then, for the first time, I did Michelle's HIIT workout, Supercharge Intervals, which is 20 minutes long. There are only five moves. You start with 10 reps each and count all the down to only 1 rep each. Wow. This was difficult. I finished by doing a 20 minute dance workout, to stay loose but moving after the HIIT craziness. I'm not sure what I think about that style of HIIT. For me, doing many moves rather than just a few is always preferable. But I like to shake things up so it was worth it.
Friday: Get RIPPED! 1000 by Jari Love
I'm trying to use my heavier weights whenever possible. However, I still can't use them for the endless bicep curl track. My light weights are easier, though, and I'm able to do the entire track. Yay!
Saturday: Cathe's Intensity + light cardio from Glo
Today, my workout lasted 80 minutes, including a 5 minute stretch. I did Cathe's Intensity (step + HIIT + HIIT Low) for 50 minutes, light cardio from Glo for 20 minutes, and then a 5 minute stretch. I still don't like Cathe's style….and I know I say that every time I do her workouts. But today, after it all, I felt great - and that's what matters.
Sunday: Peak 10 Cardio Interval Remix
This is one of my favorites and it felt good this morning. It's not easy, though, and I was sweating up a storm. I think this one has just the right about of floor work.
Calorie Counts:
Monday - 1381

Wednesday - 1388
Thursday - 1392

This was not a great eating week. Next week will have to be better!
