Workouts, nutrition and motivation to get healthy at home
Last week I finished up phase 2 of LiveFit Trainer. You may remember the post I did about my thoughts on phase 1. The sad news for myself? My feelings haven’t really changed. I’m still feeling bored and not excited about these workouts. My husband sees it too so he actually told me to do [...]
I’m getting super anxious to be done with this workout program! I’m a little behind for posting the workouts but I have been doing them. Here are the last couple of days of Week 7. Day 47 (Legs): Leg Extensions: 2 sets x 30 reps; 20# Wide-stance Squat: 6 sets x 8 reps; 67# Leg [...]
I really liked this shoulder workout and I got through it pretty quickly too. Looking forward to my rest day on Sunday! Cardio: P90X Cardio X LiveFit Trainer Day 46 Shoulder Workout: Arnold DB Press: 4 sets x 8 reps; 10# Seated, Bent-over Rear Deal Raise: 4 sets x 8 reps; 8# Standing Palm-in One-arm [...]
I kinda liked this workout. Wanna know why? NO PUSH-UPS! Ha! It was a nice break to use dumbbells too. I did the ab exercises as a circuit because I just prefer to do it that way. Abs are always BURNING by the end! Day 45 Chest, Abs Cardio Workout: Barbell Bench Press (medium-grip): 1 [...]
Ahhhh, leg day. I feel like I just had you. Oh right…that’s because I DID! I could tell my legs were still a bit tired from the leg workout I did the other day but I went ahead with the workout anyway. *No cardio today* Day 44 Leg Workout: Narrow stance squats: 4 sets x [...]
I made it to week 7! Things get a bit tougher this week I can tell just by looking at the workouts. One things for sure…I’m supposed to start counting calories this week. Ack! On the workout for today, Jamie posted a calculator (which I’ve also posted here on my blog) that will help determine [...]
If you’re a Beachbody fan or new to Beachbody entirely, they’re giving away 10 – $500 gift cards this Saturday just for working out! There is no catch here and you don’t have to spend a dime. I’ll be working out for the chance to win this and I hope you’ll join me – it’ll [...]
Today’s workout was okay but I’m really tired of push-ups! I say that lovingly. My chest is definitely feeling tired tonight and my abs were burning immensely during the ab sets – wow. Abs are starting to pop a little bit though. I keep forgetting to write down the weight for my negative bench press [...]
Got a really great workout in today guys! I learned I made some strength gains too so that’s super awesome. I was able to increase barbell bent rows by 10# and one arm rows by 5#. I don’t have 20# dumbbells so I used 2 – 10# plates instead. Cardio: P90X Cardio X + 30 [...]
Phase 2 is kicking my butt. I ended up taking my rest day on Saturday this week instead of today (Sunday). So…I did the workout I skipped yesterday, today. I have included both workouts in this post as you’ll see below. For the shoulder workout I forgot to enter the details for the real delt [...]
