Jamie Eason’s LiveFit Trainer Day 4: Shoulders + Abs

LiveFit Trainer Day 4

I’ve officially completed the first week of Jamie’s LiveFit Trainer program! 11 weeks to go… Today is the last workout day and I actually found a new favorite shoulder exercise: Front Delt Raise to “T”. Haven’t done those before but I love ‘em! I didn’t do cardio today but plan to do some during the [...]

8/31: Last-Day-of-August Circuit Training Workout

workout of the day

Holy hell. I can tell I haven’t been working out regularly. I felt like a lazy, sweaty pig during today’s workout and it really wasn’t all THAT hard. That’s what I get I spose – I’m still so amazed at how fast you can get out of shape. Good thing I’ve signed on to do [...]

8/11 CrossFit Workout: 400 Meter Run + Deadlifts; Repeat.

My stick people drawings are back! I like to include photos with my blog posts but it’s always hard to find something that works for my workouts so maybe I’ll just keep these stick people comin’. CrossFit Workout I love the workouts that include running and strength training at a high intensity level! Today’s CrossFit [...]

8/9 Workout: Crossfit + Cardio

workout of the day

Today’s CrossFit workout includes 5 sets of 3 overhead squats. I’ve never actually done overhead squats so I’m kind of excited! I have no idea how much I can squat with weight over my head but we’ll see I suppose! CrossFit Workout Overhead Squat: 5 sets of 3 reps; 35# I COMPLETELY underestimated overhead squats! [...]

8/4: BodyRock “Balls of Fury” Workout (Minus the ball!)

workout of the day

Ooofta! BodyRock, you’re killin’ me. I just finished the “Balls of Fury” workout but I don’t have an Ugi Ball (they’re pretty spendy!) so I modified some things. For burpees, I just did regular burpees (no push-ups), then I used my Step 360 for the Reptile Butt Lifts and also for my squats. I did [...]

8/1: BodyRock’s 300 Reps of Brutality Workout

workout of the day

Happy August everyone! To start the month off right my workout today will be the 300 Reps of Brutality Workout from BodyRock (posted July 29th). I haven’t done a BodyRock workout in a week or 2 so I figure it’s time to put my body through sweaty, happy, fun time. This workout consists of 5 [...]

7/27 Workout: 100 Bodyweight Squats + CrossFit

How can I start running?

I logged on to the CrossFit website and was pleased to see that today’s workout is all running! I just finished up breakfast so in about 30 minutes I’ll be doing the workout (on treadmill) and will post my times below after I’ve finished. I decided to do 100 bodyweight squats before the run. Not [...]

7/23: Crossfit Workout: ‘Helen’

workout of the day

Wow, feels good to be back! It’s been a while since I worked out and that’s horrible. I have no excuses…but I’ll say this anyway: being on a camping/concert trip for 4 days and then coming back to 4 kids was a lot more draining than I thought it’d be! I think I got like [...]

7/8 Workout: BodyRock Burpee Challenge + 5K

workout of the day

I got my workout finished this morning because it’s going to be incredibly steeeeamy today. I did BodyRock’s “Dead Man’s Burpee Challenge” followed immediately by a 5K run. This was the hardest 5K I’ve done so far and I’m pretty sure it’s because of the BodyRock workouts I’ve been doing. I have muscles in my [...]

6/3 Weigh-In, Back Workout & Cardio

Yesterday marked the first workout for me in a little over a week. I’ve been trying to get our wedding invites complete and in the mail. I was able to send about 40% of them out today and then we’ll be mailing the rest on Monday – so this weekend is going to be crazy [...]

5/15 Workout: Legs, Abs & Cardio

I finally got a good workout in today! I concentrated mostly on abs and cardio, but I did work on my quads a little bit too. I really wanted pizza for dinner tonight so I did a longer cardio session than I normally do. I use MyFitnessPal.com to track my calories – it’s a free [...]

5/11 Workout: Back & Abs

My abs were burning yesterday from the ab workout I did on Saturday. They felt better today so I decided to do another ab workout. I’m planning on doing ab workouts 3 times per week. In addition to abs, I also did back today. I’m so happy to be back to a normal (for me) [...]

5/9 Workout: Chest & Abs

Okay, so I have to admit that I am sick of the BodyForLife program. I’m not a fan of the upper/lower/cardio splits so I have decided to go back to my old way of doing things and that is to do cardio at least 3 days per week and then have a 5 or 6-day [...]
