Workout thread week of 9/22

BluepointToasted

Managed to get in a quick 25 minutes today. It took everything I had. Usually once I get started I'm fine, but this morning the burst of energy just never kicked in. I slept like crap all weekend and stress ate a bunch of garbage, so that probably didn't help.

I was doing so good with my cardio 3x/week, then went and broke my damn toe/foot 2 weeks ago and nothing since. I need to suck it up and do some strength training.

Any ideas for cardio workouts with a broken toe/foot?

I did a 30 minute Pilates/HIIT combo this morning. I also had a hard time getting into my workout this morning. I had to talk myself out of quitting several times.

I'm going to do 30 day shred tonight. I did it 3x last week and walked 3 miles one day. It's hard to get back into it though

I have been running about 5 days a week. I did not run this weekend but will head out when I get home from work.

It's not cardio, but could you do some pilates or something that involves a lot of floor work? Should get your blood pumping a bit at least.

I need to look up some Pilates videos on YouTube and give them a try. Good idea @jesuisfatiguee‌

I don't but have been wanting to get one so this might be my excuse to go buy one!

Got my workout in this morning with my trainer. He said I did at least 600 reps in my half hour session! Then I ran 1.5 miles, headed home, showered, had morning sex, gave the kid a shower, made lunches and still made it to work on time! The beginning of my week was so tired and lazy, that was a great start to my Wednesday!

I got in 30 minutes of upper body strength training this morning. I need to get in more cardio somehow. I haven't run in about a month. I hopped on my mom's treadmill this weekend and was dead after 10 minutes. I need to build up my stamina again. With school back in session it's harder for me to get out in the evenings and mornings aren't an option because DH leaves for work by 4 am. 

Can anyone recommend some good cardio videos?

I went to the gym last night for the first time in months.I've been away form running for too long and I was totally spent after just a short time jogging I'll have to work on building back up again, but I did get a good upper body strength training routine done while I was there.

 I've also gone back to tracking what I eat on myfitnesspal again.

Does anyone use any training apps? My husband uses JEFit but it seems more geared toward dudes who want to bulk up :-/ Also if I could find something good that would link with the MFP that would be a bonus.
