Week 2: Plan & Goal

Week 1 quick review: Perfect week one of my facelessfitness gym programme, dropped 5lbs with any change to my diet and added in a couple of protein shakes and creatine to feed the muscles. By no means a clean week but great progress. Muscles very sore this week all over my body but some definite improvements needed, I need to make sure I’m pushing myself on every set! At the every of every set you have to ask yourself did you push yourself hard enough, could you have done one more rep? did you give it everything? If not, make a note of it and make you you up the weight for the next session! Don’t adjust your rep range, adjust your weight first! It was the first week so you won’t know your body well enough to hit your max on every set, but make notes of how you feel! Overall very have with week one of my new fitness programme. 🙂

Day 3: Cardio – 40 mins Medium intensity, Weights – Rest Day

The DOMS have arrived, woke up this morning clung to the bed! Chest and Triceps in agony all day. I love being back though. Luckily today is a non weights training day so just the 40 minutes cardio to get through this evening. After last nights interval training my legs are a bit tired, the aim of this workout is to get my heart rate up to a medium to high level (around 150bpm) continually for the 40 minutes. In doing this I don’t necessarily need to burn out my legs, and leg day is coming at me fast tomorrow. I choose to complete my Continue reading

Day 2 – Weights: Back & Biceps, Cardio: 20 min Intervals

Day 2 – Back & Biceps

Woke up this morning feeling quite good, DOMS are not due to kick in for another day or so. It’s back and Biceps today, the back is a large area and usually one of my longer workouts, I know the gym I am attending does not contain a large barbell so will need to improvise without the ability to deadlift. Looking forward to he gym all day!

Cardio: 20 minute Intervals on Threadmill

4 x 5 minute cycles
1st min: Walk
2nd min: light Jog
3rd min: Jog
4th min: Light run

Cardio Mood: Sweaty!! Intervals are always tough, heart rate peaked at around 185 bpm, just shy of 300 cals in 20 mins, great way to start my workout.
