All the best to everyone this week for your fitness regime. Remember to train safely!

[ByulHarangBona]

I decided to try a change in my fitness routine weekly. 6 days a week is taking a bit of toll on me and it's affecting my recovery as I progress to heavier weight.

 

 

My former Routine:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday-Weight lifting

Tue, Thurs and Saturday-Cardio/abs/leg training

Sunday-Rest/Yoga

 

 

New Routine:

 

Monday, Friday-Cardio, abs, legs training

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday-Weight lifting

Wednesday and Sunday-Rest day. P.s: Sunday might do yoga.

 

My thought is having a break on Wednesday enable me to recover better and give me more strength to push on for my workout from Thursday to Saturday before I take another break on Sunday.

 

Hopefully my new routine will work.

Does anyone own and has tried the up and down stepper

Is is effective for leg toning(thights) or does it only work on the calves

Have never really used this equipment but it can probably work both your thighs and calves and core too maybe? Since you need core strength to stay balanced on the up and down stepper without falling off.

 

Someone correct me if I am wrong

Thank you, this sounds really good. I was thinking about buying one since it doesn't take up much space

Have yet another good week in my fitness regime this week. Results are showing and I am really happy.

 

Time to rest for the rest of the week.

a great channel for people who don't have equipment and/or who may not have access to a gym.

 

if you are into meal prepping or healthier but still tasty dishes this channel has helpful recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, even snacking. Yes, she has vegetarian and veggie videos, as well.

And if you're scared of cooking chicken (that meal prep staple for omnivores), here's a simple how-to-not-poison-yourself video

 

 

Don't forget that resealable freezer bags are your friends. You can bulk buy your ingredients, separate them into individual bags and only use what you need for that day or week. Your perishable goods will last a lot longer and you won't have to buy as often because you're not wasting.

All the best to everyone for this week fitness regime again!!

 

Let's get it!

[ByulHarangBona]

Finished this week fitness regime well.

 

Played in a soccer match against a team that have players who are reserve in a pro club and won.

Just wrapped up a 12 week cycle for my strength building program. Hit personal bests on my lifts and I'm just so happy I had to share 

[tide]

flopped on my 5k, it took me about 45min to finish

but with the pressure of that gone i've been exercising more than ever. i walked three times today (at least 2 miles) and walked/jogged in intervals for 2 miles on a treadmill... working out helps a lot with my concentration

i actually need to build a regimen tho, and include strength training.

All the best to everyone for this week fitness regime!

I've finally been able to get back into my doubles trend.  Weight loss goals here I come.

 

I also am joining a beach body challenge at the gym to get snatched for the summer.  I'm comin' for you rolls (on my body)! 

 

I've also been resetting on the nutrition, so doubly on track!  

[ReveLuvAZ]

Started my tapering on my diet this week. Getting married in June and want to look my best not to mention we're spending a week on the beach for the honeymoon. It is hard going from a caloric surplus and into a deficit.

 

To everyone else doing work, remember that consistency is key. Just keep going and even if you falter a few days, don't give up!

[katsu curry chips]

I’ve been working out like crazy lately it’s been so healing...

 

I do weights and less cardio, focusing on diet and strength

Stair master perhaps? Perhaps also the leg extension machine and similar low impact lower body machines

What is considered respectable number of reps for these calisthenic workout? Both male and female.

 

As a male, id say

Pushup-60?

Situp-150?

Pullup-50?

Plank-5minutes?

=respectable?

Female idk...

[sweetjohoney]

I looked in the mirror the other day and saw some abs outlining and forming.

 

Very nice.
