Personal Website:
Gym:
my own
Gym Location:
in my basement, hey I live in the boonies :)
When I Started:
How I Started:
I have always done tons of cardio and stopped getting results. So I switched it up to regular weight lifting (3 days on, 1 day off...repeat) and cardio on most days.
Why I Love It:
It makes me feel stronger and it burns a lot of calories! Oh, and I noticed I feel blue on days I don't get in my workout early!
How I Stay Motivated:
My husband periodically wants to arm wrestle to check and see if he is still stronger than me. :)
BB Accomplishments:
Losing & keeping off 50+ pounds of fat and making HUGE lifestyle changes that I have kept up for over 2 years instead of the yo-yo-ing I did in the past.
Forum Signature:
Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg? ~Job 6:6~
Do what comes naturally if what comes naturally is the right thing to do, If not, then do what is right until it comes naturally.
Goal (Long):
I really want to see defined ab muscles. This is something I've never achieved and sometimes feel like it will never happen, but I REALLY want to try anyways!
I think I have to give up leg day, I have such large leg muscles from all the other activities I do (running, ET, hiking, etc.) and I've tried decreasing the weight and increasing reps and they STILL keep getting bigger! I SO just want long lean shapely legs instead of huge bulging veiny...
I found this schedule on this website and like it so far:
Day 1: Chest, shoulders, tri's, abs
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Back, bi's, abs
Day 4: REST
Day 5: Repeat of day 1
Day 6: Repeat of day 2
Day 7: Repeat of day 3
Day 8: REST
Doing cardio about 5x a week. HIIT running: 30 seconds...
Well, it's a temporary dye and I'd actually been trying to wash it out for weeks! It's called Fire Red by Crazy Colour and it was done over naturally dark blonde hair
All totally academic as it's now white blonde and pink.... ;)
Teriberi!!! How have you been...haven't heard from you in awhile!! Everything is good and I am making some progress...not as much as I want to but I won't complain much. See ya' later!
Whoops! I must have gone to click your pic and hit "quick remove" instead! They changed it so it doesn't confirm anymore so I didn't realize! Sorry!
No worries! Re-added! :)
Your husband better start getting in the gym soon!!!! Else he will be bowing down to you(after you flex your muscles at him) way more than he expected!LOL...Good work and I hope someone can help you with the leg issue...I don't know of any suggestions.
Keep all the hard work in the gym and you would reach your goals Here a quote which I hope you would help you with your training There is the Point of No Return where you have Trained so Long Sacrificed so Much, That you Can't GO Back. You Must Reach Your Goal & Trample On Anyone Who tries to Stop I wise man told me that and his name was Herb Elliot Australia Olympic Champion
I know a 6 day split seems like a lot, but when I do three day split at this point, only some of my muscles really get a work out. Even now, back and biceps are so draining...I did biceps with shoulders yesterday, and this morning, it's like I didn't even work them. Working biceps drains me, I think because I have to lock down my core muscles and I feel like I can't breath (standing ez curl, etc.).
thanks for the the advice! i drank a lot of tea yesterday and rested a lot (although i did workout lol) it seemed to do the trick because i feel good as new today...good luck with your goals!
