shoulder, and arms/abs

What a g.ood workout...I'm very sore from the other workouts this week! ITs funny that I've been working out for 60 days and I'm still sore after a workout. I think that it is because of the muscle confusion. I'm going to take pics tomorrow of my 60 days and post them. I;m hoping to see some improvement from my 30 day pics. I have noticed that most people make the most change from 60-90....I hope to fall into this group as well. I don't expect to acheive all my goals at 90 days. I was too heavy and out of shape to do this. However, I know that I will continue this workout after 90 days! IT's not just a gimmick workout..IT does produce results for maxium fitness and weightloss:) I will add cardio to a couple of the workouts from now on to really push my results to the next level. IF needed I will also up my food intake a bit with the first two meals to help with this increase. I really like the zig-zag diet I have included the last couple of days. I've taken a few calories out on the 1st day and 2nd day with no complex carbs after my lunch. On the third day I add a little more carbs and calories..On the 4th day it is higher carb with complex carbs at every meal except my last and is almost 600 calories more then the first two days. This makes my body not go into into starvation mode and is also good because it replinshes glyocgen stores as well. I will post how it has done this week on monday.
IT's fun to experiment with foods and intake times to see how it effects your body.....:)
Will do yoga( my worst day) this morning so I can have the whole day to catch up on my research paper...taking the day off of work to help my wife relax with the baby..

plyo

I thought I was going to get through this one easy tonight...nope...it kicked my butt...the step back week lets your body heal...but when you come back and switch stuff up...your sore and it kicks your butt again!
I felt tired during the workout..had a rough day at work and I'm starting to feel a bit sleep deprived with the new baby...ended the workout 10 mins. early...but did push hard during the rest of it...totally dead...hope to get some sleep tonight:)

chest and back

kicked my butt today!
I actually threw up after doing the workout today..pushed my body to the limit I guess. I did more in each set and felt pretty good as the workout went on..Starting getting light headed in the second set but pushed hardier....lost my guts...laid down for about 10 mins...and then hit ab ripper X ...is that a bad thing? I was just thinking about getting ripped and losing body fat with every push up and pull up...knowing what I want and having my goals in my mind at all times has seemed to really help the last couple days with everything...
My friend game me a book called burn the fat feed the muscle...which is a MUST read for anyone wanting to change their lives...please check it out..Will post my 60 day pics later this week!!!

A good tip for anyone is write your goals down in positive words...and carry with you at all times...I make sure to repeat my goals every morning and before every meal..it is what goes into the body that makes the difference!

oopps..

well...i kind of slacked this week.. Only got three workouts ins...no excuses...ive put other things in front of my fitness.. my diet hasn't been great...but not horrible either...did have a brownie and some icecream this week...but...overall the week I ate decent...
going to attack tomorrow and the rest of these 90 days hard...i don't want to stop changing or put behind me all that hardwork....see you tomorrow...with a renewed sense of mind

yoga x/cardio workout

I started yoga x but I really have a hard time doing it because my shoes get caught in the carpet...so after about 25 minutes I switched to cardio x and did the whole workout. FElt good...wanted to do more ...thought about going for a run afterwards but luca wanted me to change his diaper and chill with him while my wife took a bath...might throw some running in this week and hit up extra cardio for the next 30 days....have a 5k coming up in a few weeks and need to get some running in to help prepare my body for it...wife wants to get back into running (she has always been a runner) she is the one who helped push me to do a marathon a few years ago...she is thinking about doing p90x in a few weeks once she has recovered from the birth of our 2nd child....I'm starting to fall in love with p90x and the benefits it creates!

new measurements

34 in waist !

178 pounds

both arms 13.5

legs the same.

core syn...

well like I said before my wife had a baby on thur...so my schedule has been thrown a bit off. This was acutally my first full workout since the baby was born! plus, I didn't quite follow the diet to a t since thur either. I had a couple bumps in that road...but im back...yesterday I did part of the x stretch until I had to take over duty of the kid while my wife went back to bed. Today I did eat 100% clean and got a full workout in...it was a tough one! I don't know if it is due to the not so healthy eating the past few days or the change in sleep patterns but this workout kicked my butt. The lunge, kickback, curl, press is the hardest move and by about 10 reps I;m sweating hard core and I can't breath anymore...what a move!
I will weigh myself and take my measurements tomorrow to see if I did any backsliding last week and then I will forget about it and push forward again....next week are my 60 day pics....don't know how much I 've changed but I can feel a difference:)

baby born

Well my wife had a baby yesterday! So I skipped yesterday's yoga workout and might skip today's...diet has not been the best either...eating small meals but was hard to plan before leaving so I'm going to go back to the eating clean tomorrow and will make sure to get legs/back in on my sat. workout and sunday will be kenpo x. Overall...tired...happy....stressed....etc...all the typical new baby emotions!

baby's name is luca massena and was born healthy and 7 lbs 9 oz 22 in

chest/shoulders/triceps/abs

a great workout today. Pushed myself a to the limit...actually ended today laying on the floor trying to catch my breath! What a great feeling of pushing to the limits...My abs are still sore from sat's workout so today was tough. I added a 10 pound weight to the hammer twist thing at the end...which makes that part nasty. Two more days until my second child is born, unless he comes early and I'm going to probably miss a workout or two...but will have the joy of a new life !
Diet was great today again.

going to bring it tomorrow in plyo...have a friend coming over to try it...can't wait to see them throw up or fall over in total exhaustion:)

new measurements

weight 182
Waist 34.5 (4 all together!!)
Arms (13.25)
Legs (23)
not much of a change...arms were .25 in bigger...waist dropped another .5 in..which makes me feel good and helps to push me to workout!
could go for that kind of drop every week from now on!

Legs/Back/Abs

I have always been strong in my legs....and can say that I have ran marathons, and played high level soccer where fitness and stregth always comes from the legs...I just wish I would have had this workout 10- years ago. This is a very good workout..I like pushing myself through it...added weights today to some of the exercises and was able to do 9 pullups today on the widefront pullups...i could barely do one a couple weeks back...Will do kenpo x tomorrow...not my favorite workout but it does get a good sweat going and my daughter, who is 2, loves to play along with me....
diet was good...did have a couple spoonfuls of icecream with my daughter after dinner....besides that another soda free day! that makes it 10 in a row:)

Yoga

well I did yoga today, well that is what I attempted. Yoga is not an easy workout. I was sweating bullets after about 20 minutes. This workout is tough. I was falling all over the place and some of the moves are past my ability. However, I did attempt it and think it will really help me with my life. I felt good afterwards (even though I fast forwarded through some parts..:() I think this is going to be more worse workout day of the 90 days. I do want to get better at it and next week I'm going to go for the full 90 minutes. I think it will really help with my back and hips because they have been beat up for 20 years playing soccer! I know already that this is a workout that I'm going to love to hate...Tomorrow is legs and my legs do feel a bit tired after this workout so I'm going to blast them some more!
Diet was really good today again. I didn't eat any fruit...but did have carbs for breakfast and lunch...with veggies at lunch and dinner as well.
Tomorrow going to start adding fruit into my diet as well.

Back/Biceps/Abs

Good/fast workout today. Had only 40 minutes so I fast forwarded it through after each set if there was extra time. Not only did I get a GREAT workout but I was breathing hard and got a pump out of this world! What a great workout today. Actually gave me the want and need to workout more. I think that I'm making the transition to p90x. I want to workout again even though I have to wait a day. I don't crave bad food...I havn't had a soda in over a week either!
A little about myself....I have drank soda since I was young...as long as I can remember I have drank several sodas every day...sometimes...more then a 2 liter a day...so I'm pretty happy with myself.
Change is hard....but change is good!

wed feb 4 OFF DAY

WEll wed are my hardest days of the week. I have individual meetings with players, 4 classes to teach, fitness practice with the boys and it is my recruiting night so I'm usually going to make it my off day. I'm also super sore today which is weird. I pushed hard on tue and I'm feeling it today which is nice. Will hit up back and bis hard on thur and try to do at least 22 reps on every set of ab ripper! I'm looking forward to having visibile abs by summer ...It would be the first time ever:) I'm just hoping there under there somewhere.

plyo

WOW..thought this workout would get easier as the weeks went on...but it hasn't! Pushed through the hard breathing and did my best. Good workout. . Actually have taken a lot of these moves and used with my soccer players on our fitness days. They like them and complain about them as well! Really struggling with how much I should be eating, if I'm getting enough? I'm not hungry so just wondering if I need to still up my calories or not..
Diet was good...made oatmeal/egg white pancakes for breakfast, protein bar for snack, lunch was a turkey sandwich on a whole wheat bun, 2nd snack was two tablespoons of pb...dinner was tortilla soup without the tortillas...and after workout I ate half an orange and a protein shake..

Chest, shoulders, tri, abs

killed today's workout! Did better in some areas and worse then others but pushed myself hardier today then I have ever in the abs. almost got 20 reps per exercise on abs. OVerall good workout. I really like this workout. Hope I kick butt this week on my workouts...Wondering how these workouts are going to go next week...my wife is due with our second baby. I'm hoping the lack of sleep wont have that much effect on my transformation???

new measurements (not much change this week. IF this was the biggest loser I would probably get kicked off the show!)
waist: 35 same:(
Weight: 182 (1 pound less this week)
Arms: 13 each
leg: 22.5 on both sides

Diet was good again today..followed 7 pm workout with a protein shake and a small cup of sugar free pudding ....

30 day pics

Well not as great as I thought they would be but there has been an improvement in my body. Hoping to see a bigger transformation in the next 30 days. I have lost 3.5 in. off the waist which is nice:)
