so I've just finished my second time in 'cardio #1', which mean I completed the first week of BR -looking forward to my rest day XD-

I couldn't help myself so I took my weight today morning
guess what?
.8 POUND DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in 5 days that IS something!
notice that I'm keeping my cal intake around 1500

actually, I'm doing BR NOT to burn calories -or else I would rather do turbofire or insanity since they both are HIIT-
but doing it because I like strength training

Jillian is such a good trainer!
2~3 days a week HIIT, 3~4 days strength is the best workout routine you could do
HIIT workout burns more calorie, but it is intense so you have to give yourself 48 hours rest between sessions
strength training is the best way to build healthy muscles, strong bones and it boost energy too
but you should take a 48 hours rest to train the muscle again, that is why it is either 3 full body session, or 4 split with two session then rest and repeat -in the 4 days, you should train upper lower format, or push pull format, Jillian uses push pull BTW-


I found her method IDEAL! since other workout dvds use either HIIT forever, forgetting that hiit mustn't be used more than 3 times a week, or the other format is the not-so-good-workouts

strength training build muscles, which make you burn more calories.. also if you lost weight by strength training you won't be a fat skinny -your weight is ideal, but way too much fat which makes you look like a fatso

oh BTW, you won't become BIG unless you eat more calories, consume more protein AND use some steroids
even if you lift 100000000 lbs you won't become big
SO GIVE IT YOUR ALL AND LIFT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
so if I know all of that, why am I fat?
cuz I don't eat right XD

I eat way TOO MUCH of everything
and you know well, knowledge is a thing, doing is another thing
-or as japanese say: "sore wa sore, kore wa kore" I guess-


TO SUM IT UP!

1. I've finished the first week, and it was GREAT, Jillian teaches us the form of every exercise, AND tell you what is wrong and what is not
2. you WON'T see ANY results -inches and lbs lost to be exact- without eating right, if you don't want to use her meal plan then make sure you eat a proper meals -with good protein,carbs, and fat balance- and eat in a defect (no more than -500 to -1000)
3. be patient and PLEASE NOTICE the other good results you are getting OTHER THAN THAT DAMN SCALE! -inches lost, good mood, boost in energy, you were FINALLY able to perform 5 push ups!, you did 'suicide' for 45 sec instead of 20 sec you did first time ..etc.-
4. keep a food journal AND exercise journal

and that is it, have a good day!
