Well... My one rest day turned into four... I think I was run down (came home early from work Monday and immediately took a 2 hour nap). Back at it today. 4 mile run at a reasonable pace - felt great! Tomorrow is the full body circuit training with the trainer at the firehouse. We'll see what Friday brings, but likely another run. Maybe intervals.

Yesterday was a walk day & rest day of Supreme 90 Day.

Today was a 6.44 mile run and instead of doing Tabata I switched it to tomorrow and did Shoulders & Arms today. Trying to use slightly heavier weights

So this last week wasn't the best - Friday I skipped Cardio Challenge...Saturday I did run, but skipped Legs as I was moving a car load from my son's house...another car load to go this coming weekend. Sunday - I was an animal: Walked, biked, and did Chest and Back. Planning on doing Supreme 90 Ultimate Ball this afternoon after a 5.53 run with intervals this morning.

Thanks for your input - yes, overtraining had crossed my mind. I was going through a period where I wasn't even feeling sore (like, at all) following my workouts. Now I am, and I do consider that a positive thing, but may have to back off slightly to find the right balance where I still have good energy through my runs. Anyway, will be taking a complete rest day today :).

I must have already picked your brain on the IT band (hard to remember who I ask what around here!) - I have been doing some of the exercises from the video, so maybe I will try some small inclines again and see how it feels. Now that I am looking at this site in more detail there is so much to learn about pacing and splits and all sorts of stuff! Thanks again..

Have a great Saturday!

First, it could be believe it or not you are overtraining. Your body isn't recovered from previous workouts - make sure you take a rest day from running or go easy running very low heart rate.

Inclines - well I only run outside in FL. It is difficult to get much on inclines, but I do have some small hills in my runs. Look at strengthrunning.com for his ITB rehab exercises. You can do them daily to strength it. I am lucky right now Tabata & Cardio Challenge fall on my walk days. I will move them around next week to find the same thing.

Last night was the trainer circuit training at the firehouse - pretty good, I tried to push myself.

This morning was a treadmill run (4mi). I notice my energy level during my last few runs has not been spectacular. My interval runs have been ok, but I've been dragging a bit during my steady pace run. Sometimes I've just been able to get in a groove and before I know it I've done more than the distance I've intended, but not so much lately.

Could be a number of things - I've upped my strength training, and have cut my calories slightly to get the scale moving again. Spring allergies also, so could be them or the meds. One day I'll find the right balance for increased strength, endurance, energy, and decreased weight & body fat.

Question for you - do you incorporate any inclines in your runs? I'm planning on a stair climb event in July, and incline running can help prepare. But I found it bothered my knee (IT band), so I backed off.

I love the Tabata DVD also - just having trouble finding where to fit it in with everything else!!

Have a great Friday! Best of luck to your son - sounds very exciting!

Congrats on the regular pushups. I typically do them, but at the end of some of the workouts my arms are so shredded that I am lucky I can do them on my knees.

Did Tabata workout yesterday ( I this workout) and today will be shoulders & arms. I will probably be missing my Legs workout on Saturday as I need to drive to my son and move out a load of his stuff - in preparation for his move to Dallas TX and his first job.

Love the sore & shaky feeling !

Well, I had to drag myself kicking and screaming, but I did my full workout today - 4mi run and S90 Shoulders and Arms. No idea why some days I am totally in the groove and other days I just want to eat carbs and take a nap. Well, bottom line, I just need to keep showing up, the results will come...

Don't know what to tell you on the clicking noise...sorry

Great interval run this morning 5+ miles. LEGS was on tap for the day. I am exhausted.

My clicks are when I go from hammer curl to lateral raise.

Well, this second half if this week didn't go quite as planned. Had a great interval run on Wednesday. Had a somewhat stressful work day Thursday and came home and overate :( We just signed on a trainer for our fire department, and Thursday night was the first session - it was a group circuit training session. Pretty good. But I ate too much again Friday and didn't work out - have been feeling tired and hungry. Maybe seasonal allergy related. Anyway, getting back on track today - will post back later once I figure out what workout I'm doing today.

I do log all my workouts on Spark. I log the S90s as a circuit workout for whatever time the video is.

For the clicks, where are they happening and at what part of the move? Any pain? I have always had a click in my left forearm when doing hammer curls - not at the joint, more of some type of tendon thing I guess. No shoulder issues.

Yesterday was an awesome Shoulders & Arms. Today is Cardio Challenge.

Questions: Do you log all your workouts with calorie burn & time? I am hearing pops ( not loud more like clicks) when I do lateral raises with hammercurls even with light weights...I have had both shoulders freeze in the past, requiring manipulations, anyone else??

Well yesterday didn't work out as planned - some stuff came up at work and I had a commitment in the evening so missed my window of opportunity to work out. Bummer... Got up early today and did legs & chest/ back. That actually worked out quite well - with dropping the first cool down / second warm up, doing together only took a little more than an hour.

Tomorrow - sprints / intervals.

Yay - glad I won't be here by myself ! I did Ultimate ball Saturday. My ball was a bit low on air, so filled it up - that helped a bit for some moves where I had been rolling all over the place. But didn't help with the plank ups - I can't get them either. Today I'm doing legs. (Since I'm running & doing stair days, I'm not following their schedule completely). Love the changes I'm seeing so far!

Hi Gidget & Lightningrunner. I'm still making progress... Sunday was chest & back, Monday was my first time doing legs, and Tuesday was my usual treadmill intervals. Unfortunately in the middle of the night / early Wednesday morning I woke up suddenly with the worse calf cramp I've ever had. My calf clenched so bad that the shin muscles on both of my legs then started to cramp up too - bizarre! Never had an experience like that. I already eat a banana every day and will need to do more stretching I guess. Incidentally, I've done plenty of post workout stretch routines over the years, and I have to say the one for Supreme90 is my favorite.

So I took off Wed & Thurs (also had a lot going on at work too) and did shoulders & arms yesterday. Today I'm signed up for a twilight 5K.

Hope you are having great progress!!

So glad I found this page! Can't seem to get anyone to join me with the workouts. I'm hoping this page will keep me honest. I seem to have strong starts and dwindle down around day 28.
BUT I love the workouts and am getting back on track. Lost 4pounds and more importantly 4 inches.

Today is Day 7 LEGS.

LisaLyn218 - I had similar results. Program completed, I lost about 3-4 pounds, but lost over 7 inches around my stomach. That alone was worth the effort. Enjoy the ride and the end result will be even more fun.

Day 89 - Core Dynamics this morning
Day 90 - Cardio Challenge this afternoon
This completes my second go-round with S90.
I'm sure there will be a third time through it in the future. This is a great program.

Tomorrow will be a genuine day of rest and celebration.
