fmphillips's Program
My Workout Program View My Full Workout Program
Currently working on Lee Labrada's 12 week Lean body trainer
This program consists of 2 muscle days and one "active rest" day where you do cardio for 30 minutes (HIIT). For example,
Monday - Biceps/Back and cardio
Tuesday - Legs and abs
Wednesday - Active Rest
Thursday - Chest/Triceps/Shoulders
Friday - Biceps/Back and Cardio
Saturday - Active Rest
Sunday - Legs and Abs
Monday - Chest/Triceps/Shoulders.
So on and so on!
At first I thought this going everyday would be difficult. However, I am really enjoying it and find I look forward to my workouts. On Active Rest days I set weekly goals to push myself; ie. 3 x a week stairmill, etc. but I will also do other activities, such as hooping (which I tend to do for an hour or more). I find that as long as I am doing something that is active and enjoyable it's not a huge deal. But I will try at least 2 sessions to be a cardio machine (ie. elliptical, stepmill, or bike) just so I know I am pushing hard.
I would suggest you look up Lee's program for more information on the training and nutrition! I found it on the BB.com site
My Nutrition Program View My Full Nutrition Program
Eating Clean Chuches!
So I am following a basic program in re: to eating. And that is EATING CLEAN! Lee Labrada has recipes and explains nutrition on the program if you look in more detail. I am really trying this time to see how much nutrition plays a role and I will let you know now ! I NOW KNOW THAT NUTRITION IS TOTALLY 85% OF HEALTH!
Previously with my workouts I would still eat crap (especially junk food /sugars / take out) and expect to lose weight..which I did. But I am honestly lower in weight over these last 2 months than I was in 2010 when I worked out from June - December. I know I need to keep eating well.
So I try to have lots of veggies every day...with at least my 3 of my meals. One salad as well if I can stomach it. I never was a veggie person..only carrots. But now I am finding I am adding cucumbers, tomatoes, even brocolli and cauliflower! Trying to keep eating well.
5-6 smaller meals / day. Depending on my shifts I work (nurse here!) I sometimes have to manage with my 10 hour shifts and as I work in the community I am always on the go and so now make sure I bring my lunch with me at all times!
IF you want more information on eating clean. Obviously look at BB.com, Lee Labrada's program explains in detail his rule of thirds (1/3 protein, 1/3 carbs, 1/3 veggies). I would also suggest you look into Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet, which is where I first started with all this information!
I love fries! So now I love sweet potato fries! I need to make the right decisions and realize that food fuels my body and is not solely for enjoyment, which is what I took it as my main source prior to my change!
My Supplement Program View My Full Supplement Program
Protein baby!
I am a pretty simple supp gal
I have yet to try Creatine but I will one day.
I use protein powder post-workout (lifting days) as well as 8 gummy bears for the sugars!
Also began to add X-tend BCAAs as pre workout. Find it really helps push me through the workouts. I have only been on it for about 2 weeks or so and I think I have noticed some differences. Need to see by the end of this last phase of my 12 weeks.
Take a multi-vitamin daily. Omega 3.6.9, Magnesium, Glucosamine, and sometimes melatonin, when i work odd shifts.
I try to not to take magnesium and that every day. I just sorta do it randomly.
I was trying a fat burner previously (Hydroxycut hardcore) which I had taken about a year ago with success. However, I began to experience severe mood swings and almost suicidal thoughts (it was crazy!) so I stopped it. Won't be touching those things again. I am kinda scared of alot of these workout supps (including the X-tend) so I make sure to take caution...as a psychiatric nurse I have seen people present as psychotic after overdoing it with these products :P

Week 12 day 6
Posted in Other : Apr 25, 2012 11:18amHere I am! I finished my last weight training day (Chest/shoulders/triceps) today! Wow. Tomorrow is Cardio 30 min HIIT and will probably also do some hooping to enjoy. I can't believe I have completed this program.
I have a consultation on Friday with a trainer here and am looking forward to finding out what she can do to help me meet my goals having completed this program now. I did not realize I gave myself until Apr 30 to get to my goal so I have a few more days I have to stay focused. Will eat clean and try to focus on doing some at home workouts as I'll be i

Posted in Other : Apr 06, 2012 11:26amHi There all! So Today is the beginning of week 10 with Lee Labrada's 12 week lean body trainer. I am feeling pretty confident. As I sit here writing and eating my sweet potato and chicken and broccolli/cauliflower I have a smile on my face :)
I can't believe I've made it through this so far. I am feeling and looking great! Getting compliments from people. Finding joy in eating clean and being active.
