Lynette's log for 4-week intensive course

[The Shadow]

I agree with you Shadow, I feel like it's way too many reps - he tries to burn me out till my body is physically shaking all over. When I trained on my own before this course I was doing 6 to 8 reps till I couldn't lift a certain weight, and increased my weights if I managed to get 8 reps in. Oh well, this is just getting me on track to getting rid of a lot of unwanted body fat Then I'll be following your kind of programs.

Well......you are doing WAYYYY to much cardi...by doung so you are crippling your bbody's ability to burn fat...

my advice...get a bf test done IMMEDIATELY

Yes, week two is two cardios of 35 minutes for 4 days of the week, and the other 3 days I do one cardio and one weight training session.

35 + 35 does not = 70.

just keep that in mind.



get a BF test as well

2/1/05 cont...
5.45pm - Salad, 1 egg and 2 whites, 2 cups water, multivit, flax tab, calcium, vit c.

Didn't feel like eating my 6th meal.

2/2/05
5.25am - 1 cup water, vit c , vit e, calcium.
5.30am - Treadmill 35 mins @ 4.5.
6.50am - protein pancake with raw nuts, 1 cup water, triflex, flax tab.

Right now I'm just doing everything the personal trainer is telling me to do to complete the course that they set out, however, normally I would never do the two split cardios the way they ask me to do, and burn myself out every single day. Normally I hit HIIT cardio on non-weight training days. This is just this four-week course I'm doing.

I haven't managed to get my camera set up with this computer yet, so hopefully by lunch time I'll get those before pictures up, and you can all see my fat before pictures I'll get there though - I'm working damn hard to get the body I desire.

Shadow, what you said above, are you saying that all this cardio that I'm working so hard to do because these guys are telling me to do it, is stopping me from burning fat? OH NO!!!. I feel sick about that now, I just read that response from you. I feel like telling these guys where to stick it now, because I'm getting up at the freaking crack of dawn to do this program, and was wondering why the scale hasn't budged much - I thought with all this good eating and hard work the scale would have moved more in the first week.

Shadow, can you explain to me in detail what you mean? You have a far better understanding of all this than me, I'm just a beginner in all of this compared to you and all these great ladies on here.

too much cardio does a lot of things to the body......it will ramp cortisol which is an CATABOLIC hormone(tears down)...some cortisolis good...too much is bad

a tight diet and 2x daily cardio can very easily lead to a loss of muscle...muscle is what burns calories day in and day out..even at rest.

the only way to track lbm loss is with a bf test

I have no idea why so many women feel cardio is the best defense for lose of fat and that is the key component of their work out schedule.

It absolutely kills me.

Thanks Shadow, okay, and I'll tell the personal trainer to do my body fat test at the end of every week, this friday will be the next one. Thanks again for looking at my posts and responding to them. I sure do appreciate it.

 

[The Shadow]

no problem.....


on a side note....I have been on a pretty tight "diet" for a month...I have done 3 cardio sessions for a total of 38 minutes....


I have lost 5 pounds of fat and GAINED 6.5 pound of lbm........


it can be done without massive amounts of cardio
