Happy Holidays

Ok, so I have been slacking with my writing, New Years resolution at least 2 Blog entries a month in 2007, hopefully more.
So what have I been doing? Well let me tell you I added one supplement from BSN N.O.-XPLODE Awesome pre-workout drink 2 thumbs up!
As for my workout I have added a new twist. I wanted to increase [meaning add] my cardio training. Not being one for running and bicycle season is over I looked elsewhere, what I found was “H2H: Kettlebell Circuits” by Jeff Martone. The DVD gives you 200 weeks of programs! Jeff goes through each set of exercises to show quickly how they are done, if you want more details he is offering a set of all 3 DVD. The Circuits last 4, 9, 18 minutes, which makes this a great warm-up to my regular workout and it gives me my cardio. I am still following the same workout otherwise, alternating between 2 different workouts, 3x a week.
The one thing I also wanted to share was a lesson I learned a WHILE back which I need to keep reminding myself of. Way back when I was reading several magazine articles, absorning workouts and diets of the “stars”. So I decided to follow them I went from 195 to 275 in @ 6 months, and it wasn’t muscle! What happened was I never factored in that these “elite athletes” were leaving out the key ingredient [ juice???? J] to their diets which allowed them to gain lean mass while eating so much calories. Bottom line, some of my internal systems, liver, kidneys, took a vacation, because of the stress. You have to find what will work for you, based on your metabolism and workload [and health]. Use others as guidelines, keep a journal of what you are doing so you know what works and what doesn’t.
Have a Happy Holiday Season and a great New Years!
