What I Did: Shoulder Burn
I don't know why or how but Tiffany Rothe's Firm Fit Fancy sculpting preggo video absolutely KILLS my shoulders even with only 2lb weights! I feel like "you've gotta be kidding me" every time I do it. That and my butt in that lunge position at the beginning. Sheesh. So these are definitely good for a burn (not too sweaty at all though).

What I Did: Some Mama-Muscle Building
Haven't done much weight bearing so I figured I would today (after my 25 minute walk).
Warm up: Not much really just took it easy on the first set
Workout: 2 sets of each 10-15 reps
Seated Row & Lat Pull down (I used bands for this in a kneeling position)
Overhead Pullover & Upright Row
Sumo Squats & Lunges (forward and backward)
Calf Raises & Thigh Leg Adduction (inner thigh leg raises lying on side)
Skull Crushers & Kneeling Tricep Kickbacks & Surfer Pull
Total Time: 20 minutes, took drink break between sets, no cardio or anything crazy
HR: 140-160 depending (around 160 for the squat sets)
Sweat'o'Metre: Nope. Nadda. Kept it light.
Burn'o'Metre: Feeling it in the triceps and those calf raises :P

What I Did: When You Don't Wanna Workout...just dance.
It's getting harder and harder to motivate myself to workout, not for lack of energy, more so for lack of mobility :P However I still feel great, the weight is not piling on but going on sloooowly which is good for mom and baby so I'm happy!
So today I was super productive this morning so much that I figured I might skip the workout but my hubby, smart as he is said just do it...knowing that's all the push I need (hoping the baby comes out with as little of pushing HA!).
So I did RefitRev's workout playlist/workout #3 as it has the least amount of videos but ones that I love and make me happy!
Warm up and Workout in the playlist.
Total Time: 37 min
HR: 150
Sweat'o'Metre: not much yay for a fan
Burn'o'Metre: my calves are super tight these days so the jumping had to be taken down a notch or two for some songs.

What I Did: Back from "Sick Leave"
This was my third cold this pregnancy but praise the Lord it lasted just less than a week this time! So I eased into it today with some light core/stretching and a "daily" workout from Neila Rey. I was tempted to just do some dance videos cause their fun and a good sweat but I've been noticing I am really needing to work on my muscle strength (which often requires more mental effort on my part). So I did like nike and just did it.
Warm up: About 10 minutes of my Mutu program of core and stretching
Workout: I did level II of 5 sets of 10. Though I did the first set of push ups for 10 in full the rest I did on my knees for 12 reps. Also I switched up the cross crunches for standing band twists and the leg raises for 30 seconds of plank.
Total Time: 20:31
HR: 140-150
Sweat'o'Metre: not really so much of a glisten this time. took it easy.
Burn'o'Metre: upper body strength has really disintegrated during pregnancy so the upper body ones were a bit of a burn for me.
Aaaand this is me planking at 8 months pregnant haha!

What I Did: Dance Away Sickness
I'm coming down with something again. Boo. Probably not just because of my lowered immune system from pregnancy but my interaction with kids this past week. Grr. Yesterday I was super tired but today after sleeping in I knew I could at least do some dancing so I put on some ReFitRev and got moving.
Warm up: First video or two of playlist/workout 1
Workout: Workout playlist 1 on ReFitRev's youtube channel
Cool Down: last video or two of the playlist
This is one of my fav's from the playlist.
Total Time: 43:25
HR: 150-170 (mostly around 160 though)
Sweat'o'Metre: red faced and moist forehead (which I hear is safe for pregnancy at this stage so that's good!)
Burn'o'Metre: I kept the bouncing to a minimum and took out some "oomph" but I can't wait to get into it full swing and really dance out those moves! Not much of a burn in this case other than of calories yay!
No photo today. Too lazy, tired and sick.

What I Did: Daily Burn
I'm going to have to just have a couple of these daily burns printed out and set up for post baby workouts when I have time to do something but I don't want to waste my time picking out a workout. They're great and can last anywhere from 10-30 minutes depending on how many sets you do. I like 'em.
Warm up: I did my MuTu stuff (core, alignment and stretches)
Workout: Neila Rey's daily burn. I did as many full push ups each round as I could before switching to knees, I also modified the cross crunches to side planks and for my last 2 sets I did band twists. Also leg raises near the end I switched to scissors then to plank for 30 seconds. Too much pull on my lower abs.
Total Time: MuTu took less than 10 min + 22:27 workout = probably just under 30 minutes
HR: 140-150
Sweat'o'Metre: yeah getting that forehead sweat on for sure!
Burn'o'Metre: Felt it with the upper body for sure and a little with the core.

What I Did: Catching Up
I actually have been working out this week, (this is actually my 3rd woo!) I just haven't been posting as they've been fairly unstructured and just "something" to get the heart rate up and the body moving.
Warm up:Today I did that MuTu stuff for about 10 min before hand plus the first video of ReFitRev's workout #3
Workout: I only did the first 7 of 13 videos of Workout #3 from ReFitRev's playlist and then I did their cool down video "Cry Holy" My favorite video of this playlist for sure is this one:
Total Time: 32 minutes (not counting the 10 min MuTu session)
HR: 150-160
Sweat'o'Metre: it's dripping off the bangs today! Gotta love a good sweat :)
Burn'o'Metre: trying to keep the high impact bouncing to a minimum so not a big burn but I think normally if you put effort into these you'll feel the burn!
