im happy to report that i did my last A workout. bitter sweet moment as it's my favorite workout. some guys were hanging by the squat rack the whole time, so sadly i had to use the pre-loaded bar and had to go down on weight, as it's hard to bring a heavy bar over my head.. i finished it all up with a GOOD T25 workout, so…
-
btw, im finish both workouts a7 and b7, so im literally 2 workouts away from finishing stage 1. i miss it already, i totally love it. i already printed the spreadsheets for stage 2, it seems harder and complicated, but i will take it one workout at a time. im not going to to the amrp workouts because i know ive gained…

Hi girls, i havent been here in forever it seems. so glad i got a time now to come and check on how is everybody doing. im working on a new office now, different people, different rules, so not possible to check mfp. when i live work i workout or go by my family so by the time i get home im beat and ready to bed. so my…

i finished my first round of insanity and im back on my 2nd round, it's insane. 2nd month was the hardest ive ever worked out. i didnt lose a lot of weight, merely 2lbs, but my body has changed as if i had lost 20lbs. my endurance and my fitness level are beyond believe now. im happy that more and more people try it. about…

It would be interested to see if there's anybody else from China here...I hope so. I'm in the states right now but i lived in beijing for more than 6 years, so my soul is still there. feel free to add me as a friend and would be great to work together and encourage each other

I had a great B4 today. I couldnt resist and added T25 at the end. Awesome 600cals burn, I'm sure I'm still burning, i felt great but I'm sure my DOMS will totally revenge tomorrow. I'm excited because I went up on the shoulder press to 15lbs (I DID IT!!!) it was hard but I DID IT (i couldnt find the 10lbs one, so instead…
-
Awesome B4 workout today + T25.. oh man, what a killer workout. Oh and the squat rack was empty for the first time and the olympic bar was also empty (no heavy plates), so i just went for it. it was easy, i believe it was 40lbs.. not sure, but i saw they have 2.5lbs and 5lbs plates around, so i guess that's how I'll be…

@blue - I'm right there with u on the sleepless nights. oh God, sometimes is a whole week, sometimes is just a night. sometimes is after I workout (too hype sometimes when I workout at night); sometimes im EXHAUSTED after good (not so late) workout and still cant sleep. really annoying, I've only had this problem since I…

@catdevron: congrats! as someone who has lost barely any weight, I know that the NSV are way more important. I can now for the first time IN YEARS wear tight tops and short shorts. I'm a work in progress but omg what a progress. The first few days I was TIRED as you wouldn't imagine. coming from a 6 days/week workouts…
-
I was also super confused, I thought I was reading a different book to everybody else. until I found the workout sheets. life changing. I printed exactly the # of pages I needed, 8 for A and 8 got B and all set. I barely open the book now. @Stephanie, to answer your question, you only do A1 on Monday, then B1 on Wednesday,…

Hi ladiess, havent been here in a while but i love how you keep checking in here and giving your advise. i did my A4 today right after work. i usually warm up with insanity 5mins but today i couldnt. was tight on time. also since i went straight from work, the gym was more packed that usual, i love how the guys just go…
-
Hi! so im back. @rama: im very happy that you got the ok to go back to lifting. good idea to go lower weight and more reps. something is indeed better than nothing. @terri: welcome back. i bet u had a great time!! I had a couple of bad days as in no time to even come and check on mfp. had my best friend coming from…

So I had a good weekend. Worked out Saturday and Sunday. Saturday last day my current schedule and Sunday as first day of the new schedule I'm trying out, will be something like Sunday/ Tuesday or Wednesday/Friday... I did the workout B on Sunday hoping that the gym would be empty and I could figure out better the layout…
-
so continuing my questions. 1. does it feel like i worked my legs too much today? when i look at the mix of my workouts, it seems like it's even, full body workout, upper body and mid-lower body. 2. any ideas how to organize my workout "flow" to make the whole workout faster? this is the current gym layout.. a small area…
-
evening ladies, so im already feeling today's workout. i guess B is way harder than A? or does it get easier? i had to take painkillers already for my hip pain (having rheumatoid arthritis can be a pain, pun intended, sometimes). lets hope my second B workout gets easier. so, my best discovery was that my gym does indeed…
-
I like those shoes!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait to see what other dresses and stuff u get. my new version of window shopping hehe
-
So I did my workout B this morning, first time at the gym doing it. Well, it wasn't too good (it wasn't bad though). I went to bed late, so woke up sleepy, so I was slower to warm up, so I went later-ish to the gym, and I ended up nervous (first time doing 2 of the exercises) and rushed since I felt I was walking from a…
-
Hi all, I had my first B workout at the gym. Luckily this morning (6:30am) it was almost empty. I was a bit like a headless chicken with the whole going here, I don't know why, but this workout I was all over the place. I guess I need to get more familiar with the gym layout, I felt I was wasting time going from a place to…
-
lo. you girls are funny... as i started this weight lifting journey, also first time at that side of the gym and i already joined a purely guys gym (i feel super badass). i'd say have a look at the new rules of lifting for women book if you want to buy it. many people suggest starting strenght, it's a very easy to…
-
Hi girls, welcome all new lifters! tomorrow is my first B workout at the gym and im nervous, havent tried the deadlifts yet so thats gonna take me a bit to figure out. let's see... the preloaded bar is a set of bars they have with the weights attached. u cant add or remove the plates, and the plates are usually small in…
-
Hi ladies, today I took a mental day off, after a hard day at work yesterday. i really needed it. i could have worked out since i wasnt completely worned out, but i'm trying to take thr needed rest days in between workouts. @blueberry09 - i also kept the hrm because i figured it would still show my heart rate during lifts…
-
And well, my general impressions and experiences of my first SOLO morning weight training workout at the mostly guys gym... - I caught a glimpse of my calves and they are looking good...lol - My left leg (dominant) is way weaker than my right leg.. weird... gotta work on that. - There were like 6 guy at the gym and this…
-
Good morning ladies... so I have exciting news, I joined the gym last night, I feel so badass joining a mostly guys gym :) This morning I woke up at 5:45am (just to give me those needed 15mins to actually WAKE UP), had my pre-workout drink, dressed and ready I was for working out. Opened the windows' curtains (the glass…

I did my first AM at the gym A workout. I did warm up at home as well as push ups. So I was READY TO KILL it at the gym. Squats (with a preloaded oly bar) - 15lbs (I know I could do more, but the other ones seem too heavy, will keep look for a 30 next time or something like that) Seated row - 40lbs (those last ones were…
-
oh thats a good start, i always says "something" is better than "nothing". your body is working out and fighting a cold. i used to get a cold every other week, someone would sneeze next to me and next day i'd be burning in fever, i just realized that since i started working out in january, i havent even sneezed once... i…

Welcome @catdevrandom to our little group of beginners. today i did my second full hybrid insanity+strong curves+new rules of lifting, at home because i was in a hurry (all in all took me 40min). it was a killer and i loved it. im going tonight to sign up for my gym, and tuesday going in for the first B workout (hybrid).…

Hi everybody! I'm happy to see so many of us starting. Please keep coming back and telling us about your progress. I usually write about pounds (lbs), no way I could lift that in kgs as a beginner hehe. Honestly I did not understand the workouts at first, the layout in the book was CONFUSING to say the least. luckly I…
