While the previous program helped with absolute strength (actual one-rep maxes), I hit a wall with my bench press and felt that I needed more volume overall. So, yesterday I did 10 sets of 5-rep squats of 120b, with 1min rest in between. It. Was. Brutal. I thought at the beginning that 120b would be easy, but by the third set my legs were cramping. It was awful, but I'll be sticking with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-118-119#post-1604639 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 12:50:47 +0000 Helen11 1604639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One walk/ jog, and a walk every day so far. I had feared the muscle soreness that comes with increasing exercise, but it was ok.<br /> Always good to hear others good reports.<br /> Sally, no wonder your week was up and down! Sending get well wishes for your DH and DS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-118-119#post-1604449 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 20:27:14 +0000 MsMaven 1604449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Sally, that is a hard way to start the New Year. I hope father and son recover quickly without more complications.</p> <p>My year of living healthy got off to a dismal start. Three weeks after I came down with my cold I finally started feeling better, and today I have most of my old energy back. Unfortunately I have been gaining as well--another 3 pounds added on to the 3-4 I gained over the holidays. I have been eating much less--no more candy and starchy food, but I've been nearly inactive--just sitting around. While the dark, rainy days are good for the drought, they keep me inside and not moving much.</p> <p>I started keeping track of food consumption again and can see why I didn't lose, but harder to figure out why the gain--apparently I burn a lot more calories than I realize in my daily life.</p> <p>Enough whining--I expect to have a much better report next week.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-118-119#post-1604436 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 20:10:16 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1604436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, Sally, hope your DH feels better soon. </p> <p>I'm doing the Whole Life challenge which started on Saturday. My scores haven't been perfect yet, but it's definitely got me improving my food and fitness. Also started meditating regularly again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-118-119#post-1604212 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 10:08:46 +0000 Sal 1604212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exercise has been good here - lots of walking and back at the gym after a three week break.</p> <p>I have been eating okay but few too many glass of wine over summer. We have had a lot of injuries/ incidents from my son having a sprained ankle and a hospital stay due to a boil inside his nose which needed lancing and IV antibiotics. Today DH has broken his collarbone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-118-119#post-1604196 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:06:05 +0000 Style Fan 1604196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am doing Yoga almost daily.&nbsp; I try to do a good walk every day but lately that has been difficult because of my foot problem.&nbsp; However, now that I am in Florida it has been a little easier to walk.&nbsp; Yeah!&nbsp; I am going to focus on an hour walk every day and see how that goes.<br />My weight was up a little.&nbsp; BF jeans were a bit snug.&nbsp; Maybe not BF jeans anymore.&nbsp; I guess that will be my benchmark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-118-119#post-1604155 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 05:05:10 +0000 anne 1604155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shedev. Bootcamp does look very tough!!</p> <p>Runcarla&nbsp;- very impressive!</p> <p>My weight is up a little - DD's birthday and a general laxness on my part being the reason. I've also been off exercise for about a week, trying to get my knee better. It is sore just above the kneecap on the right side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-118-119#post-1604139 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 04:31:34 +0000 Carla 1604139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 weight workouts, 2 runs, 1 bike, 1 swim, 1 yoga class. Only 1 day off (2 days were double workout days.</p> <p>The weight training program is to help develop strength and power for the short triathlon's I like to do in the summer. It takes an hour and a half to do the routine, which I do every T, Th, Su. I start with a 1 mile warm-up run on the treadmill, then...</p> <p>-Squats alternating with Lat pull down (4 sets of 10)<br /> -Walking lunges (60) alternating with dumbbell chest press (4 sets)<br /> -Incline seated leg press (single leg - 10 each side) alternating with shoulder series (10 each dumbbell raise to side, to front, overhead) 4 sets<br /> -Incline biceps curl, alternating with triceps press (4 sets of 10 each)</p> <p>I finish off with a side stretch exercise to deal with a muscle imbalance that ended up affecting my right shoulder (but was resolved with sports chiro and a stretch he taught me) and 'halo's' for shoulder mobility.</p> <p>3 months in and my weights have gone up a little, but mainly I am focusing on technique. My trainer (DS#2) is ruthless about proper form! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/healthy-habits-118-119#post-1604080 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 03:09:10 +0000 shedev 1604080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had an ok week. Sticking well with my calorie plan. This does seem to work better for me than more structured diets. Exercise was ok. I did 1 boot camp, 2 yoga. The boot camp made me crazy sore. I'm going to try for 2 this week. I have a job training workshop this week so I'm going to be pretty busy.</p>
