Only three more weeks of STS?! Holy cow!
Monday: STS Shoulders, Biceps, and Triceps + walk
I did this workout during a raging early morning storm, praying that the electricity wouldn't go out amidst tons of thunder and lightning. And it didn't! Yay! I increased my weights a bit and felt a bit stronger in some areas - and weaker in the triceps at times. Ugh! At work, I walked at the rec center. That was a nice break from the office!
Tuesday: STS Plyo Legs + YWA
Wow - these Plyo Legs workouts are intense (as you can see from the clip I found)! I was happy to see some different moves in this week's workout but there was a lot of repetition. Since I don't have a step, I know some of the cardio moves are not as effective for me, but I try to make them as intense as possible by squatting low etc. As it was, I got a great workout. At lunch, I walked for a bit outside, but it wasn't enough to be called a workout. After work, I did this new YWA - which was nice for my sore, tired legs.
Wednesday: Cathe's Ripped with HIIT: Low Impact HIIT One + Afterburn + YWA
Low impact today - which means high intensity when it comes to these Cathe workouts. Dang! Ripped with HIIT is quickly becoming one of my favorite Low Impact options. This is such a great workout. After it's short 25 minutes were over, I tuned into some of the cardio portions of Afterburn - which are even more intense. Dang! Talk about a workout! After a long work day, I did this YWA - a root practice so it had some balancing. I rarely get to do tree pose so that was fun!
Thursday: Cathe's Warrior Kickboxing + weights
Yay, a new live kickboxing workout! This workout was so much fun! It had many good combinations, which I love. In between the combinations, jacks and shuffles kept my heart pounding. Cathe even threw in some blasts before heading to the heavy bag boxing. I had a lot of fun with this one! At lunch, weights at the rec center. The students are back - moved in with no classes to attend, so they were all working out. I couldn't even get to two of the machines I needed but I made do.
Friday: Cathe's Stretch Max (bands) + Icy Core 1 + YWA
I wanted relaxing with a bit of work this morning so this was a good mix. I started with Cathe's Stretch Max, which is a 17-minute workout using a band. It really stretched my legs well, which was super nice. After that, some real work with Icy Core. This workout was close to eleven minutes of core torture. Ha! I then tried to relax again with Yoga Chill - a short YWA that was a good end to the morning.
Saturday: Cathe's HIIT 30/30 + STS Chest and Back
Time to work this morning! First up - HIIT. This workout is non-stop - 30 seconds of work, 30 seconds of rest. Some of the moves are brutal. But I got through it - 25 minutes total. Next up: STS. I'm really liking these Chest and Back routines. Lots of chest presses and rows, which I like. And I'm always sore afterward - not painfully so, but I can feel it. It's the good kind of ache! I stretched for a bit afterward and did some sit-ups to round out my workout.
Sunday: Cathe's Kick Max + 220 lunges + Pauline Nordin's Butt Bible Lower Level 2 + abs + YWA
So, a brutal day for my lower body. I started off with Kick Max, which I was naively looking forward to because I love Cathe's kickboxing. I made my own premix - warm-up, two of the combos, and the drills. So.... The boxing combos were fun - advanced and different in a good way. Then the drills - 10 of them with no rest, only jogging in between. I thought I was going to die. After that 40 minutes, I did 220 walking lunges. And then Butt Bible. The only good thing about it is that I like level 2 the best because it's well rounded and not too long. But it hurt so bad. I did 7 minutes of Cathe's abs afterward and, finally, a 17-minute YWA to stretch and relax. I needed that.
