Workouts, nutrition and motivation to get healthy at home
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 [...]
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 [...]
Alright, I’m reeeeeeeeeaally starting to like the LiveFit Trainer workouts more and more as I go along. My husband too. He made the same comments I mentioned in this post regarding the first Phase being somewhat boring. (Again, GREAT program – it IS making me stronger, I just started to lose interest towards the end) [...]
Okay, I loved this workout. Then again, it’s a leg day…! Today’s workout incorporated light sets with high reps and heavier sets performed to failure. I liked. Wonder how I’ll be feelin’ tomorrow…. I’ll let ya know! No cardio today! LiveFit Day 31 Leg Workout:
Okay, second day of phase 2 complete! What I can say is that the workouts are definitely getting more challenging. I did 75 push-ups! (a lot on my knees this time….) My chest was burning before I got through the second exercise as noted in my workout log. It took me about 90 minutes to [...]
I started Phase 2 this evening but I’m actually feeling quite discouraged. I had high hopes jumping into this program and I gotta admit that I’m feeling a bit bored with it. The first 2 weeks were pretty fun and I would look forward to the workouts but over the past week I’ve kind of [...]
I just completed the last 2 workouts of the first phase of LiveFit trainer! Phase 2 will start tomorrow. Normally I’d have 2 rest days now but I’ve already had 2 of them and therefore decided to do 2 workouts today – both legs and shoulders/abs. Tomorrow I’ll be posting my thoughts on Phase 1 [...]
