Your know your a "firmie" or "FitPrimer" when
the most exciting event that you had is that you recieved an email from Tracie Long the "iron maiden" herself about your order of a new tape :-)
Yes.. even Marlei got excited about that one line email :-) Nedra |
Well today was sort of an Iron maiden workout
I did super Scuplting, with my 5 pound plates on the barbell.
I also used my 15, 12, 10, 8, 5 and 4 pounders. I pretty much ignore the three pounders these days. I also did Standing legs,but I took the plates down to 2 1/2 pounds for that. I did ab scuplt and the three mile walk for the abs with Leslie Sansone.. and with all that lower body work..what I really feel is my triceps.. go figure! I bought some creatine today..I want to see if that will help me make any strides. Poofie! |
Today was a rest day
I will soon have the Cathe tapes and DVD. This is a good thing as her focus is different than The Firm and muscle confusion is a great thing.
I hope to be able to incorporate those later this week. However tomorrow I am doing total body shaping mix, Upper body, Sculpted abs hips and thighs and 30 minutes Leslie sasone. Stick with me here :-) Poofie! |
Today
I did Firm upper body, A 30 minute walk with Leslie, and Total Body shaping mix.

I just wish my body would feel free to dip into the fat for the glucose ;-) Oh well! It was a good workout.. I feel proud of myself Nedra |
Wow.. I guess I was so depressed yesterday
Or just the server was acting up enough I didn't put down my workout.
I did Firm tough tape 2 and 1/2 Standing legs. I also did ab sculpt.. I was tired and just had a hard time moving Today I did Tough Tape ( that would be the first one) and upper body, Scuplted abs hips and thighs and a 30 minute walk with Leslie. I have upped weights on some exercises and plan to get some 5 pounders this week to up on deltoids slowly :-) Nedra |
Well
Because I got the Cathe DVD in the mail yesterday..
Starting tomorrow I have planned a different schedule for what I am doing. On Friday and Tuesday. I will do part two in the early morning, then when the girls leave I will do Firm total body shaping mix and a 30 minute walk with leslie. On Saturday and Wednesdaywill do part one and Scuplted abs hips and thighs and a 30 minute tape with Leslie. On monday and Thursday I will do part three and super scuplt and a 30 minute walk tape. I think that should do great things! I did the legs part with Cathe today to try and "break" in I didn't do as many reps on many things and dropped weights down to get used to how she moves. It should b e interesting to use as heavy as I am I did put 10 more pounds on the barbell to start. Poofie! |
I did another really great workout
But I will admit that I did some just beginning weights this morning for Cathe.
I didn't know how I would do..but on many of them I can go up a pound or two. ( deltoid work) She does a compound clean and press I really love. The Total body shaping mix went well...and did the abs and Leslie..all in all I feel good today. Nedra |
Wow!!!
I am impressed. I just found your gym log. You are awesome with your workouts. I too work from home office and can workout whenever I see fit. I have readjusted my workout routine as I am halfway thru my second challenge. I have decided to not do the pyramid method as recommended by Bill Phillips. I am now doing 4 sets of 10 each of muscle groups with highest weight that I used doing pyramid. So now instead of say for instance shoulders 12 reps of 5# 10 reps of 8# 8 reps of 10# 6 reps of 15# 12 reps of 10# 12 reps of 10# (different exercise but same muscle group) I am now doing 4 sets of 10 each for every muscle group. My workout was awesome this morning, I hope I can walk later, my legs feel like lead right now! HN |
Hi HN
I decided a gym log would be a good way for me to really start focusing on that and giving when I up weights ect..
I am impressed with your pyramid. As Cathe says YOU listen to your body and what you think you need :-) Nedra |
Well I listened to my advice to Carol
And I didn't compare what I can do to Cathe and crew.
I took out my five pound plates and that is what I used for the barebell during the leg workout today. I also stuck with 8's and 10's right now for lunges without the barbell and other such exercises. with cathe. I will make much faster progress that way :-) I also did sculpted buns, hips and thighs. I still like the firm for floor work over what I have with Cathe.. and I did 30 minutes with Leslie walking.. gotta love that woman..even if your doing pretty well you can work up a sweat with her tape without killing yourself. Off to have a bit of fun today! Nedra |
Official
Let those muscles rest day :-)
tomorrow I will be hitting my back and biceps as well as a session with one of the firm tapes.. gotta look at my schedule to see which... and of course 30 minutes of Leslie Sansone! :daizy: Nedra |
good workout
I had a great workout.
Super scuplt went better than I have ever had it go before. I bought some sixes the other day so that I can move up on deltoid work.. going from 5's to 8's is too big a jump all at once for me. The 6's actually came in handy when for a lark I just decided to do half of Firm Upper Body. I used them on a couple of standing deltoid sets and a set of Triceps kick backs. Today was the first day I did Cathe back, biceps and abs. I took the weight still lower just so I can get used to the workout today. She did do some good spinal erector stuff after the abs. I am feeling it in the lower back. I also did a 30 minute walk away the pounds... so I am good to go for the day! Nedra |
Well
I did my Firm Total Body Shaping mix..but had a hard time at some of the aerobics part..
Like I couldn't get enough air today.. actually Leslie was harder that way than usual. I also did my Chest, Deltoids and triceps work. That went a bit better. I went up a little on some of the sets.. so that is progress I also got The firm Tough Aerobics and it looks to be a great tape. Hope you all have a healthy Fit day! Nedra |
Looks like you are organized, on track and consistant! Way to go! You will have great health in no time!

You make me tired just reading your gym log. You go girl!
