I’m Home from Phat Camp
21 October 07 02:52 PM | Trish | with no comments

Wow, that was an amazing experience. If you ever get a chance to go you should. Talk about a motivating weekend filled with lots of butt busting workouts (one motto is: pop-squat your a** off! and they mean it), and diet information. I learned so much...

Hello Arms!
21 October 07 02:47 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I did my arms workout and it went good. My left arm is still so weak since my December Ulnar Nerve injury. Anyway, when I was doing my curls today I had to use 5lbs on the left arm. I guess that nerve must effect the bicep firing mechanism. Anyway...

Legs in the Morning and Cardio in the Evening
21 October 07 02:45 PM | Trish | with no comments

I haven’t done this in awhile, but I split my routine today because I woke up at the crack of dawn and couldn’t go back to sleep. All I had time to do was knock one or the other out and since my weights routines are so intense I decided I should do it...

Sunday and It’s a New Week
21 October 07 02:42 PM | Trish | with no comments

The definition is starting to pop on my upper body. Legs are looking better, but with my loose skin they may always be a mess. I’m very happy with my upper body though. Looks like the new training and eating is really working. I took off yesterday. Business...

Listen to Your Body When You Diet and Exercise
21 October 07 02:41 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I woke up sort of sore and just feeling a little sluggish. After coffee and breakfast I decided I had too much to do today to try and force a huge leg workout and cardio session that would likely leave me washed out for the rest of the day. Using...

For all of us ladies who carry our weight in our lower half, working your upper body can be a great way to “reshape your body.” Although you can’t spot reduce, you can build out the areas of your body that are naturally leaner so that the eye is drawn...

Mixing It Up With a Full Body Cardio Routine
21 October 07 02:39 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I met with my personal trainer and I gave him two options: we could do a full body cardio routine inspired by Phat Camp and exercises inserted by me or do my scheduled chest routine. We opted for the full body routine. These types of workouts are...

Leg Strength…It’s a Good Thing
21 October 07 02:39 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I did my leg routine and a little cardio afterward for a cool down. Legs are one of those body parts that I feel you should work hard and if you work them hard enough you shouldn’t have a lot left over for cardio. Sometimes I will try to blow them...

Chest Day and Treadmill with Core Exercises
21 October 07 02:37 PM | Trish | with no comments

Ahhhh…chest day. I think this is my least favorite body part to train mainly because I am so weak in this area and the exercises are just grueling. The only way I know to get past my stinking-thinking about chest day is to set a goal. My goal is to do...

This is a question I hear often and one that I had to answer for myself this morning. Last night I had a sore throat and general ill feeling. You know, nasty taste in the mouth, tired, achy, sore throat; just not feeling well. The decision to carry on...

Be PROUD of yourself!
21 October 07 02:23 PM | Trish | with no comments

I am proud of myself. I had a cold, a right hip that is just not up to running, and a left hamstring that is tight as a drum. A year ago I would have easily pushed through the pain of the hip, maybe throw a stretch or two in for the hamstring, and forget...

Chest, Shoulders, and Legs…Oh MY!
21 October 07 02:22 PM | Trish | with no comments

The last three days have been interesting since I each workout has involved shoulders. I didn’t plan it that way but by the end of my chest workout (which involved a lot of bearcrawling and a lot of push ups) I noticed my shoulders felt like they were...
