Fitness Freak's Dec rotation for 12/11/08

I did it again today. I finished legs and did my 30 minutes of cardio all by 10 ;15 this morning. I am rocking. I'm telling you if it wasn't for all of you I would have quit two days ago. You do not know how dependent I am on all of you for doing this rotation. Thanks Debbie once again. You are fabulous along with all of the other people doing this rotation.

Debbie, I've been doing the rotation with you, just not checking in. I'll bet there are plenty of people doing that too. I love your rotations. So well thought out with variety and fun factor. I am really looking forward to next weeks. Thanks and I had a great leg workout today. Nothing as heavy as yours but good for me.:D
 
Did the leg workout today. Glad that is done. Debbie, I know you are busy, but I used to love when you posted your menus. You gave some good ideas on different things to eat and how much throughout the day. If you ever get time to do that or feel like I would love it. Thanks again for your commitment to this website.
 
Good morning! I won't be able to do the scheduled workouts for the next two days. 'Tis the season! Busy, busy......

I plan on doing Legs on Saturday and the scheduled workout for Tri's and Shoulders on Sunday. I will add in 30 minutes of cardio on each of those days!

Check ya all later!
 
I'm not dropping out Debbie! I just, uh, had a slight run in with Christmas baking on Tuesday and well, had to get back on track. I skipped Low Max (it isn't my fave) and did Step Blast plus bicep work yesterday.

I did GS Legs for the first time ever today and OMG, by the time I was in the middle of the floor work I was dying. :) Man, that was tough! I did what Cathe did for weights, especially since it was my first time through the workout. I will up my squat / deadlift weight next time. The slow lunges made me want to cry. :eek:

Looking forward to IMAX 2 tomorrow- it's one of my favorites. :) Thanks again Debbie!

Well, I can't promise because even though I'm keeping track, I end up changing my meals as the day goes by. I'm not being as strict with myself right now, and won't be until the beginning of the New Year. However, when I think of it, I'll post them here in this thread.
 
Debbie, I don't have the gym style workouts but I do have butts and guts and pyramid worouts which always kill me. Which would suggest as a substitute?
 
Hey Girls!

Just finished my workout. I also did a 30 mins interval run before legs.I am sooo lazy today. Mayve b.c I worked a night shift last night!

Not sure, Ally. Pyramids works all upper body in one workout so you can't really do a split with those workouts. Do you have Slow & Heavy or Pure Strength?
 
I will be doing GS legs tonight. I did Bicep's last night and LIS Abs. Man this is the first time EVER that I have doms everytime I do weight work.:eek: It feels wonderful!!! Thank you Debbie!!! I feel like everything I've ever done in the past I wasnt working hard enough. And like I said before I feel like I could already see the difference.:D:D
 
I'm glad you are all enjoying this rotation. I am having fun as well and it's so great that you all are checking in with me! So thanks for that! Hope you all see some good results with this one! :)
 
Enough Protein?

Hi Deb,
Just a quick question when you have a chance. I'm eating about 150 grams of protein a day with this rotation do you think thats enough?

What's your weight? You should take that and multiply it by 1.5. I am 131# so I usually try to take in around 196 g. a day give or take. That is a pretty good guideline to follow when you are training as hard as we are.
 
Thought I might have skipped today's, I have a horrible headache that has me in a fog and on the verge of throwing up.

But because of YOU guys, I took 3 Advils, and dove right into GS: Legs. I think my legs are getting stronger. The slow low level lunges didn't make me cry like they usually do. And I hardly felt the regular lunges at all (guess I need more weight). Forgetabout the ball work though. I did do all of it, EXCEPT the one-legged pull ins. can't do many of those on a GOOD day :eek:

I like the band work too! Though I'm a little gun shy on the outer thigh ones you do on your back. My last band snapped on this one and scared the bejeesus out of me :confused:
 
Protein

I weigh 125lbs I guess that means I should be eating around 187 grams. Thanks for formula. I was under the impression that you suppose to eat your weight in protein to maintain and anything after that to build muscle. So if I weigh 125lbs I should eat that in grams of protein to maintain. Thanks anyway. Have a good day.

That is pretty much true. They say 1 g. per body weight. So I guess I should have clarified. Sorry! :eek: When you workout as hard as we do, though, imo it's always better to get more if your body can cope with it.

Nice going, Chris! I hope you are feeling better! Don't put yourself in danger just to workout, though. You being on the verge of throwing up worries me. I sure hope you aren't coming down with something. Take care! Down that Vitamin C.
