M&F W2D4: Back on the Bench

And I mean that in a good way.
This is a happy day, for I am back on the bench and pressing up some iron again!
I have been allowing my neck to recover from Saturday’s trip to Rebounderz for the past few days, which means that I haven’t lifted since Saturday afternoon when I did the [...]

My Year of Fitness ADD

I seem to be suffering from fitness ADD this year. I’ll start a program with the pep of a 5-year-old at Disney World, follow the plan balls to the wall (figuratively speaking) for 3-4 weeks, then lose interest, usually when it’s time to swap out exercises and change things up again. I have been so [...]

10 Minute Yoga & Abs > Plyo X

My addiction to Olympic gymnastics coverage has had the negative side effect of keeping me up until 1 AM for the past two nights, which in turn has killed my usual AM workouts. As a result, I found myself resorting to some home workout remedies tonight in lieu of gym cardio.
The chosen DVDs were Plyo [...]

MGS W1D6: Fun with LA Fitness Personal Trainers

I finished off the week with 6 workouts (including 4 lifting days) under my belt, so I am feeling good. Being off program always seems like fun for a week or two, but eventually I start to feel sluggish, squishy, unmotivated, and generally unperky. Getting in a full week of planned workouts fixes me right [...]

MGS W1D5: I leg-pressed 270 lbs in Mary Janes

My Ryka Versa cross training shoes arrived last week, and er…WOW. They are cute. And comfortable. And nice and flat, which means they are my new favorite shoes to wear to weight lifting workouts. They don’t work as well for running however, which is a blessing in disguise since I have a tendency to [...]

NROL Fat Loss II W1D3: BBQ Blow-up

Meal 6 and my workout were thrown off tonight by a visit to my parents’ house after work. I had a helping of my dad’s superior beef noodles and stayed until 10 PM chatting with my mom and watching So You Think You Can Dance. This pushed my calories up to 1640 or so and [...]

NROL Fat Loss II W1D2: New and Improved Fat Loss Miracle Plan!

Haha…Just messing with you all.
There’s no miracle plan here. In fact, there is no miracle plan anywhere.
The only plan that consistently works, time after time, is one that consists of:
- Eating nutritious meals within or slightly below your caloric needs consisting of lean proteins, whole grains, and lots of fruits and veggies. Even better if [...]
