Wk 5 Day 6

Stayed up all night to get all my things done. did my last resistance training this morning around 7am then did the HIIT "CORRECTLY". I used to do 3mins jogging, 1min intense, 4min cool down and repeat. Today however i did it correctly. 4mins warmup, 3mins jogging, 1min intense, 2 mins jogging, 1min intense... repeated. I used a pedometer and i THINK the dam thing must have been broke it said i had ran for 3miles and burned an astonishing 5,198 Calories... it DID feel like that because i was running REALLY intensively. Does that 1-10 go to 11? I think i need 11 because i was running like i had a contract as a wide reciever going for the game winning superbowl winning touchdown... uhh ya!! I didn't know i could run as fast as i did.. impressed myself to say the least.

Had Grapenuts for breakfast, then my POST R/I training meal was beans and chicken. wow did my calves hurt like hell coming home.... felt like i ran like 15+ miles but was only about 3... i swear it was ALOT father than that... so much for my $0.50 pedometer... however i do think it measured my Calories correctly but i'll never know .. haha

Had a protein bar for my 3rd meal (supplement), then i plan to eat hamburger, and more chicken tonight.

This program is almost too much fun! I love FEELING great and seeing minor results in the mirror.. makes it all worth while. i'll get everyone a pic next friday... since i don't think posting a pick right now will be that big of difference.

Keep up the great work everyone!

NO PRISONERS!!! NO MERCY!!!!

AOWWW AOWWW AOWWW!!!

Wk5 Day 4.

Going for the more intense regimin. I'm now going to do the Ab Routines on my HIIT days to increase my progress. I was able to do 5 routes of HIIT the other day after my resistance training. I had to seriously ask myself "how badly do i want it" after i started to get tired. By the time i was doing the ball calf rolls i was just dripping of sweet. but i love to sweet after a good workout. hell my gf wants to go to the gym with her... Mmm seeing my hot gf sweet... hhaa that would totally throw me off track i bet... hold on while i go sin in the bathroom ;P (ya... that was a joke) haha.

so today (thursday) im going to do Ab Workout #3 i think then HIIT. 6 rounds. I'm getting ALOT better at HIIT my only problem is im running out of good sceneary, i've been running/biking so much there's nowhere in my city i haven't really seen. I think maybe i'll run by some highschools... if you get my drift since there's usually women over there :P hah. That's what i call "inspiration". yyyyup.

Hope everyone is still pushing hard, i know i sure as hell am. I don't even WANT pepsi anymore. if i want a treat i usually grab a VitaminWater.

NO PRISONERS! NO MERCY!
AOWWW AOWWW AOWWW!!!

Wk5

I almost had too much fun doing training today. Its really exciting knowing that i'm doing great things for my body/physique and that its healthy. I really enjoy a great sweat workout =]

Today i did the medium-advanced timing on my excersizes.

Ball Pushups *feet on ball* 4sets (20 in 45seconds)
Band Squat and Press: 4sets, 7-8 in 45seconds

Standing Bent Over Pull Down 4sets using the 13lb+19lb resistance bands (17 in 1min)
Hamstring curl w/ stability ball 4sets, 30 in 45seconds (these were MUCH more intense than i anticipated)

Kneeling Tricep Pressdown 4sets using 13+19lb resistance bands, avg 16 per 45secs
Bicep curl (w/ band attached to the door) 4sets 13+19lb avg 20per 45secs

Ball Transfer (arm to leg exchange): 4sets, avg 15-25 per 45seconds.
Superman (with alternating arms and legs) 4sets, 20-30per 45seconds.

I also did my interval training today, i used to do biking but instead i switching to running/jogging i feel it gave me a more intense training. my lower back is a bit sore. It felt great though, knowing i was giving my whole body a workout =]

my post training meal:
Lean Hamburger (one patty)
Baked Beans
Low fat yogurt

Wk3

Was a bit harder than i thought and was getting a bit frustrated with myself. I learned how to CORRECNTLY do hip thrusts Friday and felt the burn. I got tired and lazy and wasn't able to do the Friday morning so i finished my Wk3 reistance training Friday evening. My diet suffered a bit during the week. I continued to eat grilled chicken (had to order from mcds) but i made sure that i only ate grilled chicken bare and the beef paties same as i eat at home so i stuck to the diet. I did drink some soda last week, just a phase i went through, i felt REALLY skinny and felt i need to burn something besides fat :P haha. my confidence took a hit i guess you could say, why? idk.

I used the 19lb resisitance band for the squats.
19+13 for the bicept curls. 2(15)
23+19 for the arm rows. 2(17)
19+13 for the oblique pulls 2(30)
hip thrusts 2(45)
Shoulder press 2(19)

my training resistance varied a bit i wasn't able to find a good comfortable resistance that wasn't too easy and not too hard so i kept changing the bands. kind of frustrating.

Wk2

Harder than it looked... hah. The dieting was rather easy, i found myself CONSISTANTLY hungry almost all day, eating has become almost a hobby for me. Waking up early to get my training done got a bit harder with my work. I found the jump squats and alternating squats to be quiet tiring. The bombdive pushups were harder than i thought, by the 3rd set i was drained and my arms were giving out but i make it through all sets. The pullups were easy the first set, knocked out all 15, the second set i did about 14 and the 3rd set i used a 23lb resistance band to finish all 15 which made it really easy. I have to do my interval training tomorrow but besides that... wk 3... here i come!!!! I feeling better and i'm looking better. Just from my diet i alone i have alot more energy! What a great experiance!!

Week 1

After doing the first week training, resistance training and interval training i found myself with alot more energy. The first few days of interval training were really difficult but fun. I didn't realize how intense it could get, since im fit i figured i'd breeze through it; little did i know our own personal limits are to be tested. I felt my thighs burning and my muscles hurting but i pushed forward and went faster.

The easiest part which i thought would be hard is the dieting. It actually has been reletively easy to eat frequently, and eating nutritional food. I didn't realize how to apply "servings": since i had never done it before. One you take into account how much a serving is its easier to eat because you're not over consuming foods.

The resistance training was reletively hard, the pushups were easy for me but the pullups were difficult i think everyone doing this program struggled with it. But gladly i report that i tried doing another set today and made it clearly through 13, usually my arms get tired by 8 so that was a big improvement. I await an exciting Wk2.
