Day 14 Supreme 90 Day fitness Legs

I love and hate this DVD all at the same time.  The abs workout in the first 5-8 minutes is incredible. Hard. I want to do this some more and may do some of these at the gym on random nights because it will really help reduce my love handles and develop my abs.

The legs portion is tough.  It contains a lot of squatting to attack your calves and thighs. I had to slow down today because my heart rate went too high, but that's ok.  For the most part, I kept going and was glad when we were done.  Tomorrow is back to Chest/Back (DVD 1).

Recipe
Last night for dinner we used the leftover satay chicken by adding it to some nan bread with mango/peach/onion chutney I made (very little sugar and a little soy sauce). It also had mint, cilantro, cucumber, a little fresh peach/mango, sweet onions and topped with some arugula.  I thought this was awesome!  Next time we will make it healthier by using Flatout flat rolls.  You can find the recipe in this month's (August?) Cooking Light magazine which was just delivered this week.  Oops... it might have been the June issue.  I'll check later.


I am still eating less than the plan calls for, but using their suggestions for oatmeal, flaxseed, wheat germ, whey powder, yogurt, etc..  I added a half a scoop of protein whey powder to my oatmeal, but it was a little too vanilla tasting and added too much bitterness.  I will stick to using it in yogurt smoothies.

I had put a complaint into our gym because it was so #$^$%& hot and humid in there that it makes working out unpleasant.  We've had a spell of high temps of 95-101, so I understand, but hell, I pay a lot of bucks to the gym and if they need to spend extra on the air conditioning, do so, because otherwise it would be better to workout in my basement where it is really cool.  They called and said they've been working on the system but they don't have a dehumidification system.  Hopefully our visit tonight will be better.  Otherwise I will need to convince my wife to go early in the morning to beat the heat that is accumulated during the day.

Alright everyone... work hard! The weekend is almost here!  I'd love to see some more comments and new followers if you're out there...

Day 7 Supreme 90 Day Legs

When they say Legs, they mean first abs then legs.  I really liked this workout.  It had me sweating profusely at the end.  Again, I need larger weights, but my workout was effective.  At some point in the video the leader says something like "you will feel the burn", and I do!

Hardest: laying on back, legs on ball, lift pelvis, stay steady, then change motion to pulling legs in.  I liked it, but it was hard to stay balanced.  I also have problems moving my leg to from a front lunge to a back lunge.  It's like my muscles don't want to cooperate.  Go figure.
Favorite: the beginning where it concentrated on abs, coincidentally, where I need the most work! :)

I missed doing this exercise yesterday due to a commitment with my son, so I am going to rest up and attack the Day 8 workout at lunchtime (Chest/Back).  And go to the gym later too!  I NEED to reach my goal and I'm not going to let anything stop me this time!

Meals:
Nothing really new. Today's breakfast is oatmeal and an egg white omelet with 5 whites and one yolk. I'm hungry so I might eat most of that.  I will say eating all this food makes it easy to not be hungry at 2pm.  I enjoyed a smoothie yesterday afternoon.

Let's see some comments!  I'd love to hear what your experience has been.
If you haven't started the program, jump in!  So far it is well worth the $15-$20 you will spend.
Keep moving!

Day 7 Supreme 90 Day fitness program

We had a power outage for the last two days and finally got power restored last night.  But I missed working out yesterday so I was unable to achieve my goal.  But I still did pretty well:

Weight:178.8 (loss to date: 1.4 pounds) Goal 155
Body fat: 29.1% (loss to date .6%. It's from my scale so I'm not overly confident in this nbr anyway)
Waist: 39.5 (loss: .25)
Thigh: 24
Calf: 16.25
Bicep: 13 (this is a loss and seems large. Maybe I misread the tape w/o my glasses!)
Chest: 41.25

I grade my overall production as a B. Partially my fault in using weights that are too low and partially because I couldn't work out yesterday (here nor at the gym) due to not having power (and it being hot and humid in the house.)  Still, I lost weight the first week and did not gain as others have.  This weight loss brings me back to my recent steady weight.  I NEED to lose another 2 pounds and be at 176 by next Wednesday.  I can't stand being stuck at 178.

I will resume my workout later this morning with day 7, Legs.  No idea on how difficult this one is yet but I will post something after I complete it.

I hope this blog is useful to people and if you are following along, please post a comment and press Follow!  I want to share my experience with other people and it helps to know how many are with me!

Alright readers... Get Moving!  It's hump day!
