Turning my body into one lean, mean fat burning machine!! Week one of Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer is now finished, and so far I really like this program. My arms were super sore on day one and day two and even today - almost 5 days later - they are still a little sore. I went heavy on day 3 and day 4 routines too, but they didn't make me as sore - thankfully!
Day 3 - Legs and Calves
Leg Press(110lbs - 12; 130lbs - 12; 140lbs - 12)
Leg Extension (30lbs - 12; 35lbs - 12; 40lbs - 12)
Wide Stance Barbell Squat (Bar + 10 (one on each side) - 12; Bar + 15's - 12; Bar + 20's - 12)
Seated Leg Curl (15lbs - 12; 30lbs - 12, 12)
Standing Calf Raises (20lbs - 12; 40lbs - 12; 45lbs - 12)
Seated Calf Raises (20lbs - 12; 30lbs - 12, 12) **my favorite one**
The seated calf raises were a new exercise for me...never done them before - ever. They were great!! I definitely felt the burn. Leg curls are my least favorite. I don't know why but every time I do those I get leg cramps. I made sure to lift light on that one and to stretch while Chris did his leg curls. Must be a really weak muscle for me.
Day 4 - Shoulders and Abs
Seated Dumbbell Press (15lbs - 12, 12, 12) - no idea how I got all 12 out on these - tough!
Standing Dumbbell Straight-arm Front Delt Raise to a 'T' (5lbs - 12; 8lbs - 12, 10) - Chris made me look these up because he heard that taking the dumbbells over your head was bad for you. We double checked it in his Arnold Bodybuilding encyclopedia book and it's Arnold approved, so he did it with me.
Side Lateral Raise (5lbs - 12; 8lbs - 12, 12)
Seated Bent-Over Rear Delt Raise (8lbs - 8; 5lbs - 12, 12) **least favorite exercise** Chris actually really disliked this one so he's going to find an alternate exercise for it.
Exercise Ball Crunch (24, 24, 24) - I wasn't paying attention at first, so I did too many...then I figured I might as well keep it equal.
Air Bike (12, 12, 12)
We did the Day 4 workout yesterday and while my shoulders are a little sore, I feel it more at my breast bone area. Not sure why, must be the way I was lifting. I'm not a fan of shoulder and ab day. It's definitely my weakest link though - very light weights for these routines. I think I'll add another two crunches to the mix also.
I'm a huge fan of Jamie Eason, and I'm so excited that I'm finally getting a chance to do this program. I've got turkey thawing in the fridge and Chris is getting eggs on his way home so I can make her turkey meatloaf muffins recipe. We ordered the supplement stack they recommend for men and women while doing the program - it should be here this week. Chris and I figured it'd be a good place to start since we're not really sure about supplements...might as well go with what she recommends and then tweak it from there.
Looking forward to starting week 2 tomorrow!! I know I'll be telling myself to push through the pain on those darn push-ups. Hoping they'll be a little 'easier' to get through.
