Thinking about doing legs twice a week- any opinions? I just can't seem to get the burn I'm craving!!

No Tim Horton's here, but I think I've heard of it- is it a coffee shop or something? We've got a Fausto's coffee, but their hours are so weird, they kind of just open and close whenever they feel like it !!

Thanks so much for your help!! I can't wait for the new split. I want my ass to burn!!

I was sooo sick last night when I got home. I had a fever of 101.4 and my whole friggin body hurt so I skipped meal 4 and slept. I woke up later and ate some CC and PB and went back to bed. I feel a lot better this morning, but I didn't do cardio, I figured I need the rest- will do it this evening.

It's snowing so freaking much here . I'm going home soon .

Meals for today:

1: 1 cup egg beaters, 1 whole egg, 5 whites (2 were HB), fishey

2: salad w/4-5 oz. chicken, 10 peanuts, 2 tsp. lite Italian

3: protein shake, 1 fishey

4: salad w/ 4-5 oz. chicken, 1 tsp. lite italian, 1 tsp. lite ranch, lots of broccoli, 2 fishey

5: LF cottage cheese, 1 T. PB, fishey

Workout: Tae Bo and some floor exercises

What is the reason for taking so many fish oil pills? On my bottle it says take one a day.

I won't be able to go to my power sculpting class tonight . At the rate it's snowing out I probably won't have to work tomorrow . Were suppose to get a bunch!!!

atherjen

you might just end up getting a good workout from SHOVELING!!!!! glad your feeling better girlie!
diet looks good today, your getting great at this!

bahh dont pay attention to what the bottle says. you need a good balance of omega's in your diet, and 1 fish cap is 1 gram of fat. minimal to anything.

Workout: weights

Meal 2: 4 oz. chicken w/ broccoli and green beans, 1 tbs. salsa

Meal 3: protein shake

Meal 5: 1/2 cup LF cottage cheese, 1 tbs. peanut butter
I need a low carb day after yesterday, low carbs on Monday just make me feel............... lighter!!

ncgirl21

Oh yeah- I've got a new split too, here it is:

Monday -back/bi's
Tuesday -quads/calves
Wednesday -chest/tri's/shoulders
Thursday -abs/ powersculpting class in evening
Friday -hams/calves
Saturday -cardio
Sunday -rest!


Jen- I added abs on Thursday afternoon since I'm going to have to be at the Y anyhow. Do you think it would be okay if I also did a full body weight workout on Satudays too since Sunday I'll be resting completly?

I'm going to do cardio in the morning. Monday, Wednesday and Friday- advanced Tae Bo . Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday- Crunch, Fat Burning Pilates. I've planned in this many- that way if I miss one, it won't be that big of a deal.

atherjen

Nice split! hehe
no need for a full body workout on saturday. just do the cardio and then let your body rest
hmm ok well you better miss a couple of those planned morning cardios! dont want to do toooo much!

hmmm no carbs today? but its weights day! did you have a cheat day yestarday or friday as planned?
how come only 4 meals today? hmmm can you add in another? add in some healthy fats there girlie.
(sorry if Im asking a ton of questions)

hey girly, maybe you should up your reps or sets or lower your reps up your weights for legs to get more of a "burn"

Doing them twice a week?

ncgirl21

Hey girls!!

I had a semi- cheat day yesterday. More like first 3 meals good, last three were cheats. Had mashed potatoes with dinner and a milk shake later on.

I have no problem missing a few of those cardio sessions, I always end up doing it anyhow. I just put them in there just in case .

Jen's a doll- she gave me the split!! I'm training legs on two days because I couldn't get it all in on one day and my legs/ass region is my trouble spot .

I can add it LF cottage cheese and PB. I've got to go to the grocery store, I'm out of practically everything!! Couldn't bring my salad today- didn't even have lettuce!

greekblondechic

atherjen

Hey Andrea-check your email in the morning!!

What do you think of it Jen?

In a way it makes sense.. bc you overtrain the muscles you DONT want to grow.. and the legs are the biggest muscle group so you burn the most calories working them..I dunno

I doubt I will start working my legs that often, but maybe start doing my abs daily, since I want them lean but I want absolutely NO muscle growth there.. I have a large/wide waist as it is...

Interesting link

Today is just sucky! It's one of those days where I just feel like a fat whale and I'm not even PMS'ing!

Today, March 2nd:

A.M.- Crunch tape

Meal 1: 1/2 cup egg whites, 1/2 cup LF cottage cheese, 3/4 cup fiber one

Workout:

Meal 2: 4 oz. veggie meat (22 protein), broccoli, green beans

Meal 3: Protein Shake

Meal 4: 4 oz. salmon, green beans, broccoli, 1/2 cup (after cooking) brown rice

.5 mile run on treadmill

Meal 5: 1/2 cup LF cottage cheese, 1 T. peanut butter

I forgot my apple. I was suppose to have it with Meal 2.

atherjen

ahhhhhhhhh Andrea cheer up hun!! are you feeling sick?? maybe you ate something bad!

to be honest Viv.... I think its ummmm ahh, whats a good word, alright? lol I wouldnt follow it and Im not looking to get big either. I dont want to gain anymore muscle.
there are SOOOOOOOO many concepts of training out there that ppl get suckered into.
basically put- us females done have enough testoterone in our bodies to get big. but we can reshape our bodies to be leaner and more sculpted.

I know, I know- and I wanted that apple too

Veggie meat is just what I call the Boca Burgers. I had the already pre cooked ground Boca burgers (out of everything- was desperate). It's pretty good for you I think though, for 4 oz. it's got 22 grams or protein, between 8-12 carbs, some fiber, low fat, and 140 calories. I think it's Soy Protein though.

Do you think it would be good for me to get that Lipiderm stuff?

ncgirl21

Jen- I need to pick your brain-

What's meant by a superset?

How do you do these exercises:

(arm exercises)

Kickbacks
Skull Crushers
Concentration Curls
Overhead Tri's
VBar or Rope Pressdowns

atherjen

ohhh Boca Burgers. ok
i have never tried them. but their fine!

hmmmI have used the lipoderm so I dont know. I know Jodi and Leslie both used it with good results!

superset- means doing one exercies, going to failure on that and then with NO rest moving into another exercise and going to for to failure
example: squats until failure and then over to leg press with no rest and rep those out until failure. supersets kill!!

Morning!! My legs are sore, but my left one is a lot worse. Wonder why??

Here's how my diet is going to be. I'm not really carb cycling, but with the help of Jen I'm only going to do carbs on weight training days.

Mon- high
Tues- low
Wed- low
Thurs- no
Fri- high
Sat- low
Sun- no

Meals:

couldn't work out- no power

1: 3/4 C. LF cottage cheese, 3/4 cup fiber one, fishey
(couldn't have eggs- power was out)

Weights chest/tris/shoulders

2: salad w/ 4 oz. chicken, 2 egg whites, lots of veggies, 1 tbs. FF mayo

3: protein shake

4: 5 oz. salmon, green beans, 10 peanuts, broccoli, cauliflower

5: CC and PW

*may do Tae Bo tape tonight

*I put all of this in fit day and I'm at 103 g. carbs. That's good for low carb days- right?

atherjen

that cycle looks good! hehehe who was the genius that came up with that! LOL

no power? that is a drag! I hate when I blow fuses and then I have no power!

hmmmmm where is the carbs after training missy? you should have had some rice! thats the plan for low day!
hmmmm dont worry about the carbs on fitday. its counting alot of those veggies. and you can eat all the fiberous ones you want. the carbs in them are nil' and it takes your body WAY more to digest them that there is actaully in them. no worries.
wheres the fishies??

hope you have a great workout girlie!!

your left side is sorer? you must have worked it harder! lol actaully I dont know. sometime one arm is more sore than the other with me. no worries!
