Fitness Update

No fear…that is what I should be living. I am all for living a life of no fear, being great and taking chances however I feel lost…with no direction and I don’t know how to get my butt in gear. I think people usually go through this when they grow up, but I have just always had a plan and now I am waiting.

So while I wait, I workout ;) I am almost done with the 12 week program, which is going to take me around 14 weeks because I took a week off for Thanksgiving and this week has been so sporadic that I want to start Phase 3 over again on Monday.

For this phase let me tell you…it’s intense! A lot of active rests and super sets  also sprints (which is making me pray for leg day!)

On the docket for this week:

Monday – Quads + Calves

Tuesday – Back, Arms, Abs, + Sprints

Wednesday – Chest, Shoulders, Abs, + Sprints

Thursday – Hamstrings, Glutes, + Calves

Friday – Back, Biceps, Abs, + Sprints

Saturday – Shoulders, Triceps, Calves, + Sprints

Sunday  - Rest

 

Im running into a problem where I am exhausted after an hour in the gym and im not making it through my workouts. I’m not sure what the problem is, I may just be tired…I dont know.

Does anyone else run into this? If so, how did you overcome it?

 

Ok…time for some progress pics.

  1. In regards to being tired in the gym during/after workouts, are you taking any supplements to help you through this program? As I’ve done it I also know how taxing it is on the body. Definitely consider branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) (before and after workout) and/or whey protein right after your workout to help your body replenish the protein balance in your muscles, otherwise your body is getting overworked and will take longer to recover, and repeating this cycle almost daily will just continue draining you until your “recovery day”. Hope this helps!!

      I take BCAAs after I workout along with whey protein…I rarely get sore anymore, but my energy is just gone after an hour…my hormones may be out of wack..
