When I Started:
How I Started:
I've been active all my life whether it be dancing or playing competitive sports. As a goal-oriented person, I've found that working out with competing in mind is a way for me to stay focused and disciplined in all aspects of my life.
Why I Love It:
There's no better feeling than sweating and panting through a hard workout and walking out the gym having completed it all.
How I Stay Motivated:
My dad was recently hospitalized for high blood pressure for the second time in two weeks. I speak to him on a daily basis to make sure that he is taking care of himself and monitoring his pressure, which isn't the easiest thing for him to do these days, given that he works in finance. My dad is 52, stands at 5'11 and weighs 180, mostly lean muscle. He rises religiously every morning to jog 2-3 miles, perform a number of pull-ups, push-ups and other upper body exercises with his barbells and weights. I reflect on how my parents, particularly my father, raised us to be healthy and productive adults, providing the right foods in our diets well before organic and whole-foods became the craze; encouraging us at our sporting events and supporting our active lifestyles. I also think of my mom, who introduced me to Jane Fonda at the age of eight; eliminated all processed and canned food during each of her eight, yes eight pregnancies; still dances along to Tina Turner videos as her daily cardio; and at the age of 53, is often mistaken for a woman 10-15 years her junior. These two wonderful people are my motivating factors in pursuing a healthy and fit lifestyle.
BB Accomplishments:
dropping almost ten percent bodyfat in three months
K. This is far from my best pic. I'm trying hard to lean out my legs and have that coveted definition. Let's see what two weeks of eating clean, my new leg routine and alternating two days of low intensity cardio with three days of intervals will do for them.
continuing to etch out detail in my back. Give me a chisel, lol.
So January has come and will be gone by the end of today . I am one year older, as a result, and hopefully wiser ;-). If you’re like me right now, you may be looking at your tax returns and may be wondering how on earth do you earn that much a year, but can’t account for most of it?...
Depending on whether its a no, lo or med starchy carb day, I decide what to train. This is planned at the beginning of the week of course. Legs are trained obviously on a higher carb day. I try to limit lifting on no...
So how far have you gotten in the past 8 months? I'm doing the whole building bigger legs thing, but at the same time trying to lean them out. By the way names Capre.
