Sounds like you're on the right track. Here's to your continued success. Let us know how your weigh in goes tomorow. We're pulling for you!
I'm loving the beautiful weather and seeing all the flowers in bloom, but my allergies are killing me! I feel like a zombie just walking through the days sometimes...too bad I can't enjoy the weather and take walks outside. I meet with the allergist next week, so hopefully they'll give me something good to take care of it. Whew!
So, I told you all that I've been working out with my trainer a lot lately and how he was working out a plan with me...well, now I get to share what he wrote down with all of you. I know that it's a little long and a lot of it is stuff we've all heard before, but sometimes it's good to hear it from the professionals...especially when you're trying to get back on track, sometimes you just need to get back to basics!
The body is broken up into 6 parts: abs, arms, legs, chest, back and shoulders. You should work all 6 areas each week. Separate the body to exhaust repair. Each region should be worked out to its fullest. Examples...LEGS: squats, hamstring curl, leg extension, hip abductor and adductor. CHEST: 2-3 presses like flat, incline or decline and at least one or two flys. A good workout should consist of a complete exhaustion of one or more of the regions.
As for cardio, keep your body guessing. It should incrementally increase in intensity and mix around with speed, time and incline (or resistance). You can't have success without doing both cardio and weight lifting.
Hopefully this helps. I know I lucked out getting a great deal on a trainer, so if you can't afford one but need some workout routines, I can send you some from my book. We keep track of each day (weights, reps, etc), so I can send you what I've done. Just let me know. I don't want to bore everyone if nobody's interested.
Alright girls! We're almost at hump day, which means we're halfway throught the week. We can do it!
Day 9/Veggie Burger Recipe?
Anyway tomorrow I weigh my self for the first time since I started this. So far it's been great. Found some good recipes but would like to find more. Does anyone have a recipe for veggie burgers. One that doesn't use cheese or bread crumbs. I haven't found any yet?
Today I start Phase II.
