Nutrition and Weight Training for Women
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 [...]
This post includes the remaining two workouts of Week 3 – which is officially complete! Day 18: Legs (again): Day 19: Shoulders & Abs:
Leg day is my FAVORITE!!! The perfect workout for 11/11/11! I increased my deadlift weight this week and everything else is pretty much the same. Cardio: 25 minutes (very unusual for me to run on leg day but I hafta prepare for a 5K I’m running in less than 2 weeks!) Happy Veteran’s Day to [...]

For the next 4 weeks I will be making daily posts about my workouts – with the exception of Wednesdays because that will be my off day. Yeah, only one off day. That is something I’m definitely not used to. In welcoming the new year, I also wanted to challenge myself to a tough 4-week [...]
Spring is right around the corner now and Summer will be here before you know it! During the cooler months of the year, your body has been covered up with warm clothing. Removing those layers now might just reveal a body that isn’t quite worthy of that new swimsuit you’ve been eyeballing. Now isn’t the [...]
