Results

I almost forgot what a great workout felt like. Even more so, I forgot what it was like to be excited about results and progress!

I've been a member of LivRite for around 2 years now. For a while I worked out by myself and it went to just fine. However, I'm doing the Imdy Mini this Spring, so I'm training for it now. I've read a lot of conflicting information about endurance training, weight loss, toning and strength training. As a result, I decided to work with a trainer at my gym.

Tonight was my second session with Steve. I'm excited about the progress coming in the next few months. There was even progress tonight! It was nice to have some structure and instruction in the gym.

The work out tonight alternated between cardio - running - and resistance - squats. We finished by doing sqats on the bosu ball, which was different and challenging, but a lot of fun!

I'm excited to see the scale go down again, my mile time go down again, and my waistline go down again. Finally, I'm excited to show other people that just because you're almost 400 pounds, does not mean you're stuck there. It's not your lot in life.

Leg Day!

Okay folks, I stole this workout from another website (Credited below). Taking my O2 Gold, Muscle Fuel, Catalyst, and keeping my Post workout Recovery ready for when I hobble out. The goal for tomorrow is not being able to walk.

And. Here. We. Go.

• 10 minute warm up on cardio machine of choice.
•  2 Warm up sets of squats - light weight, high reps, just enough to get the blood flowing.

• Wide Stance barbell squats - 4x10
• Narrow stance hack squats - 3x15

• Walking lunges w/ barbell - length of the gym and back  -3x (Thankfully my gym isn't HUGE!)
• Stiff leg deadlifts - 4x15

• Leg Extentions - 3x15. Last set to failure
• Hamstring curls - 3x12. Last set to failure
