hsorlando Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Haven't exercised in over a week, I am in dire need of a killer workout! Should get it today in Body Pump at 430pm. Anxiously awaiting DOMS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Body Pump on Friday was a new release. I didn't care for any of the new tracks though. Some BP releases are great and some terrible, there doesn't seem to be any middle ground. Saturday- A little sore in upper body- Zumba dance class was fun even though everyone except the instructor looked like a fool.Sunday- no workout, earning money insteadMonday- no workoutTuesday- Step 530pmBody Pump 630pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 With the hecticness of the holiday season I am not getting in my workouts. I am getting in a few but not nearly what I need. At least I have not been consuming tons of junk food, otherwise I probably would have gained 5 or more pounds. Looking forward to everything getting back to normal, and exercising like crazy!Tuesday December 14- Step class 55 minutessaturday Dec 18- Zumbalots of walking done this week too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Awesome, Awesome, Awesome workout last night! Did Step, and Body Pump back to back, with my favorite instructor and friend. Was tired after a hard Step class, but made myself get a barbell, plates, and extra risers for Body Pump. Started with 10 pounds each side for warmup, then 25 each side for squats. This nearly did me in because it was the newest release for squats and was HARD. Anyway it was very apparent that I was sweating and working hard, so thats good, wouldn't want anyone to think the vegan was slacking. Upper body is sore today mostly around upper back, and chest.

hsorlando Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Thanks for dropping by! For whatever reason I have been really tired this week. I feel fine though, just warn out, so have not gotten to the gym that much. But I just created an exercise schedule for myself that I intend on keeping. This is what it looks like, it is pretty similar to what I have been doing but now it is written down and I will look at it everyday, and feel extremely guilty if I slack. LOL. Sunday- 1pm Step, 3pm Body PumpMonday- AM run, 430pm- spinning classTuesday- 530pm Step, 630pm Body PumpWednesday- AM runThursday- Rest DayFriday- AM Run and weightsSaturday- Zumba or beginning Yoga class 930 amI have to keep this schedule up for the next 8 weeks or so before the vegan cruise, and I also have to focus more on what I eat.

robert Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Say hi to Tim for me! Zumba is fun too. I've done that before. But Tim's Body Pump Class was one of the toughest classes I've ever taken...and you said it was one of the easier ones he does too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 No I said that "particular" class was easier than usual for me. By no means is Body Pump an easy class! Most Body Pump classes I usually am so worn out by the end that I feel like I can't move a muscle. My muscles catch up to this feeling the next day or so! Since I have not posted I haven't really been working out, obviously.Thursday 1/6/11- run, and weightsran about 3 miles I think. It was a nice brisk day and felt good although my breathing was kind of off during my run, not sure why. The day was kind of misty, and it had rained earlier before i ran, maybe that had something to do with it.After I got back I trained about an hour- back and biceps 3 sets 8 reps. Did cable rows, bicep curls, pulldowns, hammer curls, assisted pull ups, and wide bicep curls, ended with abs w/ 6lb medicine ball and stretching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 No More Excuses! Going to gym tonight. Step and possibly staying for Body Pump. If I don't stay for Body pump I will be back at gym in morning and run and then do weights. Feel like my eating is back under control too. Didn't work out yesterday because of female reasons. Anyway today is a new day and I feel great. And I will get even more motivation tonight when I watch The Biggest Loser. Bob Harper is cool!

hsorlando Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Although I was very tired and not up to it I did go to Step. Because of the way I felt it was a very hard workout, but a good one. I listened to my body though and decided to skip Body Pump. Tomorrow morning I will go for a run, and do some weights. I'm thinking maybe triceps, shoulder and chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsteriffic Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I didn't realize that Special K was vegan. I used to love love love the vanilla almond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 The only one that is vegan that I know of is the cinnamon pecan. The vanilla has honey, the blueberry has red 40, and I'm not sure of the rest. The strawberry might be alright, and I have not checked the original or the one with extra protein.

hsorlando Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Today I took a one hour beginners yoga class. I also survived all the weird positions! It was a very basic class, which was good. Most of the positions were downward dogs, various warrior poses, cat, dolphin, and pigeon poses. Like I said pretty simple, but I got a good stretch going in my quads. Not about to mention my diet, I am not happy with my weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I finally managed to get a picture up. BTW I am not spiderman, lol! Today I got back at it at the gym! Yeah!!!! I did my Step workout for cardio, and then an hour later I did a Body Pump class. I didn't realize that the yoga yesterday worked my deltoids so much until I tried lifting the barbell overhead. I guess it was the downward dogs, and all the stretching and reaching in yoga that got my shoulders.Body Pump was very good/hard. I was pleased that I could still do squats with a 50lb barbell, for like over five minutes. I almost got through the chest track without going to failure, almost! The back and shoulder tracks were probably the most excruciating for me. The clean and presses, and overhead shoulder presses were brutal! That about sums up my workout today. I am still not happy with what the scale says I weigh, but I am hoping that some of it might be added muscle from the past month of lifting more weight. But I don't know if I did enough workouts for that to be the case. Tomorrow I am running in the morning, and if I can I will go back to the gym in the afternoon for a spinning class.Breakfast 8am- smoothie with berries, bananas, smoothie infusion, orange juiceSnack 12pm- cinnamon oatmeal squares/water- at gym before Stepsnack 2pm- banana, oatmeal squares, water- at gym betweeen workoutsLate lunch- 430pm- 2 burritoswill probably have cereal, or toast and tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsorlando Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ran on a treadmill because I didn't want to dodge the lightning bolts outside!!At about 845 am I got to the Y and after 15 minutes found an unused unbroken and semi clean treadmill! I know I was asking for a lot! Anyway the workout was purely boring, but I did have a little sweat going by the end. I managed 20 minutes before I was so uninterested in the workout that I had to end it.820am- banana930am- free coffee at the Y don't ask how it tasted it was free!, and also ate a lemon zest luna bar11am- coffee that was actually drinkable(didn't get a chance to eat lunch)2pm- banana445pm- handful of nutsabout to have a Gardein chicken cutlet, italian beans, and brown rice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Step @ 5:30 P.M.Body Pump @ 6:30 P.M.I figure if I post my workout before I do it I have no choice but to endure the whole workout. If I don't and I update my blog then I look completely lazy and pathetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think I hit a new level in my workout last night. Or at least I am back at a very high intensity during my workouts. Lets just say the endorphins from exercising felt great, and my muscles felt like jelly by the end. Rest day today, tomorrow will probably be running and the weight room.Breakfast-8am- smoothie- bananas, berries, orange juice, water, smoothie infusion9am- coffee, Clif bar- mint chocolate230pm- black bean soup Dr. Mcdougall brand, water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsorlando Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Friday- rest daySaturday- Zumba- My mom made me stand in the front row! I feel bad for the people in the back looking at me thinking that just because I was in the front row it meant I knew what I was doing. Because I didn't, but I could see the instructor and got more of the moves. But every time he came over in my direction I messed up. I will continue to stand in the front rowfor Zumba because it felt more fun, and I did work harder. Sunday- No news here I did Step, and Body Pump as usual. My mom and I made the mistake of weighing ourselves because it said we gained again. I feel so much better though, and more fit and toned than I did when the scale said I was significantly less. Maybe it is all stress, I'm just going to stop weighing myself, and go by my progress at the gym, and the way my clothes fit. The scale is evil anyway!
