I'm doing my own "program". I lift a 5 day split (chest, shoulders, legs, arms, back) and do cardio of some sort at least 4 times a week. Food is BFL clean, but 5 meals per day with no starchy carbs for 2 of them. And all the leafy greens and broccoli I can possibly eat!
I don't follow a "program" -- I just educated myself on weight training principles, decided what I wanted to emphasize, and put together something that met my goals. The beauty of this is that I have a lot of flexibility to change things up when I want to or need to.
I follow a modified BFL of sorts... I eat 5 meals/day a portion of carbs and protein at each meal....I try to stay under 1500 cals/day but that doesn't always work like today
I do a four day split for weights: shoulders, back and biceps, chest and triceps, legs... I don't do cardio on the days work legs other than a walk, but I run 3-5 times/week 25-30k/week....
I do the upper body - lower body all dumbells split of sumptuous.com with some excercises modified to baby my right elbow. Also I aim for 30 - 45 mins of cardio 5 - 6 days per week, with a heart rate monitor so I stay in the right zone.
Eating I do 3-5 meals a day, emphasis on proteine. I recently gave up bread for lunch because it made me bone tired, and now I eat a lot of soyproteine powder-orange juice shakes.
I do the wonderfully marvelous new and much hyped Tikanique-Get-Your-Butt-in-Gear program. Stay tuned for the hot, new infomercial! I eat 5-6 times a day, emphasis on protein and veggies, no bread, pasta, white rice or white potatoes. I do cardio of some form 7 days a week - Tae Bo, running 3 miles, elliptical, stationary bike and I lift 4 days a week - back/abs, chest, shoulders and legs. Twice a week, I do a bonus cardio session - usually consists of a brisk 40 minute walk.
I too am doing my own thing - and I have to say it could be working better! I lost ~70# on WW 5 years ago, and kept it off 2.5 years, and regained 50 over the next year. I'm working on getting that off. RIght now I'm concentrating on exercise - trying to build some muscle to burn more fat, and to make it an ingrained habit so that when I start hitting my eating harder, I'll only be focused on one new thing. Every time I try to change my eating and my exercise at the same time, I fail at both. In 1999/2000 I changed my eating first and then added the exercise. This time it's exercise first, as my eating had not gone all the way back to dreadful! :lol I still eat pretty healthily, it's more portion control and planning I need. I'm about to leave on a 3 week vacation, and when I get back, I'll be working on eating.
What kind of program is everyone doing?
