Awesome, keep pushing play!! Happy Tuesday folks! Yesterday was Chest and Back and ARX for me. I didn't follow the video this time and did the whole workout by my own pace. I did 35 reps in the first couple of sets of pushups then lowered to 20-25. For the pullups, I did 10 reps for the first 2 sets and lowered to 5-7. I…

When we still have fat to lose, we may come close eating our BMR and the net calories will likely below the BMR. This is for those whose BF% are still high (e.g. >15%) because BF doesn't need as much calories to maintain. And you can eat close to what your goal weight/BF% needs. Otherwise, you'd be looking at a long road…

Your TDEE should already have your workout calorie included so by eating the workout calories, you're back to maintenance, meaning no weight gain or loss. Here's a simpler calculation and it works everytime. Take your weight and multiply by 11.5 (15% for sedentary liftstyle) = 2346 <-- this is your TDEE for sedentary…

Good morning! I was debating weather I should do upper body weight training or legs and back yesterday. Upper body training gives us almost instant gratification because those are the glamour muscles :) but I came across a poster showing a masculine guy with chicken legs... Lol. I don't want to be that guy for sure! So I…

You might have been overeating. 2860 seems rather high especially when your goal is to continue to lose fat/weight. What's your age and current weight? Yesterday I decided to do yoga x. Its been a couple of week since i did that. While i only did 45 minutes, i got enough stretching (and sweat) from it. I also have been…

Wow that sounds pretty fancy. I'm for sure going to try it out. You know there are just so many apps for running and it's overwhelming to try them all out :) Thanks for the tips! I thought 6 mph was pretty slow LOL.. my friends are normally doing 8 mph and they called me slow!

@wffolkes - how much weight have you lost in the last 30 days? Did you measure your body fat%? Yesterday was Back Biceps and ARX day for me. I had a slice of whole wheat bread, 1 scoop of E&E about an hour prior to the workout. During the workout I of course had my purple wraath :). I bought it big time! Did 2 sets of…

Happy Wednesday team! Last night I did Fast n Furious and went for a run afterward. It was a bit warm here in Dallas but I managed to run for about 25 minutes at 6mph. I came across an app called Runtastic which I've now installed on my phone. Didn't get a chance to experiment it yesterday but it appears that it tracks the…

Hey team! how's everyone doing? Yesterday was chest shoulders and tricep and ARX for me. I worked out at home and had the BCAA drink with me. What a huge difference it made. I was able to keep going without much fatigue. And most importantly, even pushing myself that hard, I haven't yet felt the same kind of soreness I got…

Yesterday I did fast and furious. Nothing fancy there, just good old max interval. I like how it got my heart rate up pretty much the whole time! I went to help my sister ,ove earlier. She didnt have a lot of stuff and thats why we had to stop by and picked up quite a few furnitures from the stores. A bunch of loading and…

Yesterday was my back & biceps and ARX day. I did the weight at the office gym and ARX at home later in the evening. I've observed something interesting. I didn't have my BCAA drink with me (I normally drink that during the weight training at home) so when I did weight like curls and stuff I had a hard time squeezing out…

I was planning on running yesterday but it was raining so I ended up doing Insanity fast and furious. Since it was only 20+ minutes and that I've done it a few times before, I tried to really match the reps that the folks did in the video. For the most part I'm on par with them and maybe did a few more in some but power…

Last night I did chest shoulders triceps and ARX. I nailed most of the moves and pretty much matched my usual reps. I was doing about 2 sets of 10 - 80lbs (40lbs x 2) shoulder press and "attempted" to raise the bar to 90lbs since I got no fear LOL. I guess I was too ambitious. I barely made it to 5 reps and was losing the…

As I've mentioned in the INSANITY thread, I got better the other day. I continued with my week 6 day 5 workout - legs and back last night. It felt so much better finally being able to work the muscles. The L&B routine was the perfect workout to get myself back into the game after being sick for almost a week. Today I'm…

@falena - Yes, you need to heal up first. I actually hurt my lower back doing kenpoX a while ago so I understand the frustration. And yeah go figure why a program as mild as KenpoX would injure my lower back LOL. I think I didn't warm up and stretch enough that day. That's why warming up and stretching is extremely…

I felt better yesterday and didnt have to take any pain killers. It worked out great since i was driving my family to Houston for a gathering. We were staying at a hotel so I checked out the hotel gym last night. They didn't have any weights equipments but had bunch of treadmill machines. So I ended up running for 30 mins…

Yesterday I was really sick. The fever and the sore throat got escalated. I was in bed since early evening. I didn't have any chill or additional body aches so I don't think it's flu but I was pretty uncomfortable. I'm feeling a bit better today but the fever is still there. I'm drinking plenty of fluids and hopefully this…

I got sick since yesterday afternoon :( I've been coughing since Monday due to allergy I believe but that got worse -- I started having sore throat and fever yesterday. On top of that my quads and calves are killing me (from the Insanity workout the day before). This reminds me of my first week of p90x last year where I…

Happy Wednesday team!! Yesterday was my week 6 day 2 workout. I did Insanity power cardio and resistance and it was quite a workout! I have been doing the shorter "fast and furious" workout since I started this round of hybrid so yesterday was the first time in weeks that I did a full Insanity workout. I was able to keep…

Hey TEAM!! How's your workout and diet coming so far? Last night I did CST and ARX. I don't know about you but the 3 slow and 3 fast push ups are really the killers LOL. I have no problem pumping out 30+ pushups fast but if I had to first do them slow (count to 4 on the way down and the same on the way up), I could barely…
-
LOL... yeah that's just life :) I've been going to golden corral for lunch at least once a week mainly to hit my protein target. In the beginning I only get the meat and stuff but as of late I've been adding half a slice of cake too LOL. I still track them though. Luckily I ate them for lunch so I can scale back my…

Good job on almost crossing the finish line! Keep digging deep. Don't get discouraged though because this is a lifestyle not a one-time get slim quick scheme. It's more important to learn and adopt a healthy lifestyle than anything else. But it doesn't mean that you can lose some serious weight and fat. Like many of us…

HAPPY MONDAY TEAM!! Today I'm starting my week 6 -- almost half way into my hybrid. My weight has been pretty consistent this past few weeks mainly due to my close to maintenance calorie intake. My body fat remains at around 7-8%. I still need to shed some more fat around my waist. I intend to lower my calorie intake by…
-
Yesterday I did legs and arx at the company gym and didn't get a chance to do the back workout :( today and tomorrow are my rest days but I'll try to squeeze in the back workout and maybe more upper body weight lifting :) On the other hand, I've been practicing golf at the driving range quite a bit this past week. I…

LOL... that sounds fun! I haven't had a burrito or pizza for more than 6 months. But I recently I've been adding some cakes to my diet :) I like the red velvet bundt cake (without the icing) from nothing bundt cake. A friend of mine bought my family one and I simply couldn't resist it!! Whenever I do eat it however I make…
