I'm in!!! It has taken me all week to get on the program due to a little vertigo/dizzy spells...I know, making excuses already but a little inner ear virus was setting me back.  That being said the room was spinning with the suspended lunges but I was able to overcome (for 30 seconds).

 I'm the biggest candy eater of all so the idea of upping my workouts so I don't have to wear elastic on Halloween is a great incentive.

 Atomic Pushups: 19

Rows: 20

Suspended Lunges: 21L 21R

Squat: 24

Hip Press: 25.

 The mix will be TRX Basic Training 2x a week, TRX Power Stretch 2x, running 2x a week and 1 day of swimming.

 Game on!

I was finally able toget a descent workout in.

30 Atomic Pushups
2:00 minutes rest
27 Atomic Pushups
2:00 minutes Rest
27 Atomic Pushups
2:00 minutes rest
22 Atomic Pushups
2:00 minutes rest
27 Atomic Pushups 

This was a nice idea in theory. It turned into a sweaty pile on the floor.

Luckily I went to a TRX Power Stretch class and feel only slightly less defeated now. 

Hooray for the weekend.

My results were:

Atomic Pushups: 27

Suspended Lunge (Left Leg): 22

Suspended Lunge (Right Leg): 24

Back Rows: 27

Hip Press: 25

Postural Squat: 29

Right now I am 215 lbs.  My goal is to lose 15 lbs. by December.  In this month I would like to lose 5 lbs.

10/3

Atomic Push Ups - 22

Suspended Lunge Lt - 23

Suspended Lunge Rt - 14

Back Row - 21

Hip Press - 24

Posture Squat - 23

 

Ran 6 400's in 75seconds w/90sec. rest

 1:42 Time Trial on the road while riding my mountain bike.  I will ride the same route again at the end of the month.  My secondary goal is to see a 10% better time on the same time trial course.  It will be tough to knock over 10 minutes off.
Immediately are finishing the ride I moved to the TRX.  I had planned include Hamstring Curls & the Supine Runners recommended by mike.miranda, but my legs were already fried.  I threw together a modified plan that looked like this:

30 seconds per exercise with 30 seconds rest in between each/1 minute rest in between each circuit.

1st Circuit:
Atomic Pushup - 14
Oblique Crunch - 11 rt./10 left.
Low Row - 16
Hip Press - 20
Postural Squat - 10

Circuit 2:
Deep Chest Press - 11
Bicep Curls - 12
Standing Back Extension - 8
Supine Pull Through - 11

Circuit 3:
Tricep Press - 10
Suspended Side Plank - 8 rt./10 left
Y Shoulder Raise - 10

By the end I struggled to maintain form.  I will focus on slowing down & holding form on Sunday.  Tomorrow will be active rest & stretching.

Thanks for the recommendations mike.miranda.

Yesterday was a rest day, if you consider helping a friend move as rest. Today I made up for it by swimming 450 yards before my TRX workout. Not sure if it was the moving or the swimming, but my numbers went down. Can't wait to see whhere they are tomorrow. 

 Atomic Pushup: 11

Lunge R: 13

Lunge L: 13

45 degree row: 18

Hip press: 20

Squat: 15

 

 

 

 

 Fri Oct 3: Physical Therapist - 90min of r shoulder centered work. I basically go through several things with the Therapist then have a routine I can work through largely on my own. I just keep going until I either can't do anymore or they kick me out. We're starting to get to some light pressing motions which is leaving me with a sore chest. No real cardio work other than a few moments on a UBE Machine. Lots of work on muscle strength and endurance.

 Sat Oct 4: In home Physical Therapy & Grip Training. After several hours, Cycling 4.47miles time 26:57, hilly terrain, stop signs.

After yesterday's test to see where I am at.  Here is today's Oct. 4 log of my work so far.  I'm a big RKC fan and coach here in Charlotte.  So I practice alot of what I preach.

 

 1.35pood (45lb) Kettlebell.

 Alt. Single Hand Russian Swings - 25 reps each side

Jog for active recovery 100 yds.

Alt. Single Hand Hangcleans to Over Head Presses - 20 reps each side

Jog 75 yds.

Dual hand Russain Swings - 25 reps

Jog for active recovery 50 yds.

 

Repeat 2 more laps.

 

 

Doing well. today is my cardio day and rest for trx. I am feeling better about my control in the exercises and ready to start workout 1 again tomorrow

Hi, I am new to TRX.  I have actually owned it for 1/2 a year, but have not done a lot with it.  Two days ago I pulled it out again and am trying to encorporate it as part of my workout.  Yesterday, I read the fitness challenge and thought it might motivate me so here goes.

 To start with I am a mother with 5 children, the youngest 2, and have not maintained my fitness.  I think I could be on The Biggest Loser.  I was not able to do some of the exercises and so modified them to my abilities.  Here are my results for the start of the 31-Day Fitness Challenge:

1. Plank - 4 holding for 5 sec before I collapsed, I doubt my form was proper.
2. Balance lunges - 6
3. 45 degree row - 9
4. Hip press - 4 - very wobbly
5. Postural squat - 5  (I bike ride, so this should be good for me.)

My plans are to go for a speed walk for 45 minutes, 6 days a week and do the TRX at least three times a week to begin with.  My intros with the TRX have left my muscles sore for days.  All good.

 

  

Today's Workout Report:

Arm stretches
Pull Ups: 3
Chins: 3, 1, ½

Late start for me. I've been doing the 12 week military fitness routine since 2 weeks before my deployment. I keep having to repeat weeks because I don't get all four workouts in. So far this is working pretty well. TOday I ran the test. At least it was today for me, I think it was still yesterday for you all. *G* Anyway, I'm 5' 9.5" 190 lbs. I should be 180 or so, but we'll see. Atomic Pushup - 16 Suspended Lunge - 19/19 45 Degree Row - 17 Hip Press - 24 Postural Squat - 19 I plan on continuing the program I'm on, plus a little more diligence on the running portion. Steve
