Early Risers here??

Hey all,

Sorry for not posting yesterday... I usually get some time first thing in the morning to answer but yesterday I got SLAMMED non stop. Yesterday was a scheduled day off for me but I did manage to pull out a Ten Minute Trainer and did a quick workout. Nothing to extreme but enough to satisfy my needs. Remember what I said if I miss a day I feel out of place??? LOL.
Today I had a later workout as I had a day off from work and was helping taking care of my daughter. Although I love the AM workouts, the health of my daughter takes precedence over a workout. Today though I knocked out Bulk Chest. If any of you are familiar with this work out routine it was all heavy weight for me, but my only problem is that I have maxed out my Bowflex Selecttech dumbbell set of 52.5lbs for the dumbbell press. A little disappointed but satisfied that I have increased the weight. I feel bad for my stability ball though as it did not get much use today because as I went up in weight I had to keep in mind that the ball has a weight limit and I did not want to test it. If you know what I mean.

supplemama-Love the name so are you into taking lots of supplements?? Which ones. Welcome aboard. Hey good for you and take your time to ease your body into it. Once you get the momentum going you will be fine.

LOL about the alarm issue. I am sure we all have done that but you made me smile. Cool that you did a 5 mile Fat burner walk, plus jumping jacks?? Bonus High 5 from me.

Coquette6-Great job for getting your workout in. Trust me I'll be watching you. You can do this. If you get bored from what you are doing I have a few things I can suggest...

Lipoindexter-Welcome aboard 3am awesome job. What time do you go to bed? I agree about getting swole. How is your nutrition going? What are your Macros? You cant get rid of that stubborn fat without proper nutrition. Welcome aboard.

Sunshinestate-If you dont mind me asking what is a C25K? I am guessing it is a run of some kind? I love florida. It is a 2nd to Oahu. You know what the hardest part of all of this is just making the decision to workout which you already took that step.

Cicisiam-LOL on the secret.. But the back problem just be safe. No need to be put out of commission and lose the momentum. Great goal for you to get 3 days of strenght training. Are you following a plan for that? Going to a gym or doing it at home?

emafairycake1-friend request being sent now. Welcome aboard. You will find that a lot of us feel the same way as you. Knock that gym workout...

Wag1one-I was almost name Shaun just so you know. My mom wanted Shaun but my dad wanted Charlie. I have a cousin named Charlie on my dads side. I guess 2 is better than 1 lol. Are you doing anything else besides running?

Blackcloud13-Hey as long as you get up and knock the workout is all that matters. Snooze can be a good thing sometimes... lol

Supplemama-I like that you are adding more to your workout routine. HHA is a great workout. Have you completed the workouts in the past?

EmmieBaby-Welcome aboard. That is great that you can get a second workout in after work double the calorie loss. Keep it up.


Soontobemomma-Whats up lady!!! Glad to see that even pregnant you are still sticking to this. Great job!!!

Lanise825-High 5 to you for a 330 start time. So that means you are up either at 2:30 or 3. High 10 for that. Are you going to a gym or working out from home?

GorillaNJ-Thats nuts with the skunk. Get up early and get that run in.


Have a great day all

Charlie

Hey capinoy! Thanks for the warm welcome. The supple in my user name is not for supplements, it pertains to the meaning of the word supple: soft, pliant, flexible. My aim is to have a lithe and supple body.

Lol Supplemama I thought that was what it meant at first but held back. Good for you for getting your workout in. Keep it up.

Morning everyone. Happy Thursday. I got BodyBeast bulk legs done this am. Felt good to push up more weight and I felt it after the workout here at work. I can tell you that a leg workout and walking stairs a few hours later do not mix. My legs were shaking while walking up the stairs here at work. Have a great day AM Risers!!!

Good morning everyone!!! We made it to a week and the group is slowly growing strong. I love it.... Lets say bye to this month and welcome June with greater drive to reach our goals, however big or small they are. We got some great people here, from runners to gym buffs, mom's, and future mom's, and dads as well. Again lets tackle the next month with more drive.

If you all do not mind just so that myself and some of the new ones here know I'd like to ask you all to list what kind of workout you do, if it is walking, running, gym (is it weights, zumba, stepper etc), Home workouts (like myself) lets share. What do you like about your workout? Who knows there maybe someone here that has hit a plateau and is looking to try something new but does not have anyone to ask. By posting it here we have a chance to pick YOUR brain on your routine.

I'll start. I am doing Beachbody's Bodybeast workout Bulk Beast version. What I like about it is that it is more of traditional weightlifting program and I have all the equipment I need. I came from P90X, Insanity, P90X2, 10 minute trainer and now BodyBeast. Lets just say I love to Beachbody workouts (Duh I became a Coach) and to workout from home.

Now for today, if you saw my post on my wall I started at 4:20 or so and finished by 5!! That was awesome beause I had plenty of time to cool down and get ready for work. It was Bulk Back today and trust me my back was hating me for putting them through it.

Tara_R-Great job girl. Im telling you getting this stuff done early is the best thing, especially on a friday. More time to enjoy the coming weekend....

infamousDrew-It just happens my friend. My alarm goes off and bam I am up and ready to go before I can rationalize that I need to stay in bed, and just an fyi I hit the sack last night around 11:30 pm. Crazy!!!

Dealbarbie-Welcome aboard, so are you up earlier than 4?? I cant complain about that!!! You got this!!

Power_mann77-Bro you awake??? Lol Can you hear me screaming with my mega phone!!! "GET UP POWER_MAN77!!!". What did you do in the gym today?

cbeckl-3am for a run... Nice job. And what you put in on the weekend?? Wow, just wow.

Good morning all. I had an awesome weekend. Went to a filipino fiesta on Saturday, and Sunday spent time with the fam. Was great because my wife got called off from work (Stand by). Although she does not get paid it's still a plus to have family time.

Today was early as always with some Beast Cardio. Getting close to the end of this round. I will definitely be ready by the time I get to Summit in a few weeks.

SDkitty-welcome aboard. Hey no worries of not getting it done in the AM. As long as you get it done. What are you currently doing?

_Tara_R-That is great I see a lot of people using that program. Does it come with a nutrition guide by chance? What are the equipment requirements?

Dealbarbie-Wow, up at 3 am High 5 to you girl. Do you go to a gym or do you have an indoor pool where you live? 3 am for a swim the water would be really cold, but at least you would be wide awake.. lol.

Have a great day all.

Charlie

Clairemarie10-As long as you knock out the workouts that is the best part. It does take some getting use to for getting up early. For me I have noticed that if I sleep past 7 hours I am overly tired. I guess my body has really gotten use to getting up super early. Welcome aboard.

Soontobemomma-I hear ya. When my wife was pregnant she too started to slow down and the best thing is to just listen to your body and do what you can do. There is plenty of time to come back and knock this stuff out. Do what you can.

Coquette6-Nice with the stonglifts. I have seen the 8 week HIIT in the past. let us know how that is going. You sparked my interest.

For me I was up and at em this morning. Had a bit of an issue getting started but made it through. Man I did Bulk Legs and even in the 2nd round of BodyBeast my legs still have the shakes after the workout. Dont know if it is a good thing but I used it to gauge how hard I worked out. Still feeling good.

How is everyone doing? Hope you all are still crushing it....

Charlie

Good morning good morning. Happy Hump day. This is my usual day off from work but somehow managed to get my days switched for a move. Got my workout in and as you have seen it was Bulk Back. I went total Beast mode this morning including letting out a few grunts here and there. No one up that early and I was in the zone. Felt great to get the heavy lifts done. Now time to start the day. Hope everyone is doing great.
