I wanted to share the workout that I was advised to use in order build muscle, lose fat, and get lean. I work out with a serious body builder who is also very sweet and knowledgeable in his pursuit of the perfect body. So, I've taken on the task of hitting the gym and pumping the iron I need to meet my goals.
Yep! That's what I'm doing. She is cute and sweet, but this woman is a beast in the gym! Her LiveFit Program is found on Body building website with loads of information - recipes, lifting routines, tips, and a killer meal plan to follow if you want the best results.
The program is broken up into three phases; each one lasting four weeks.
Phase 1 is the muscle building phase (the one I'm currently on). During this phase you only lift, no cardio, weights only. She is trying to get you to build muscle without depleting your calories which maintains the precious, calorie burning muscle, you just put on! If the idea of not doing cardio makes you a little light-headed, don't worry, I felt the exact same way. You really get used to not doing any cardio at all! Don't get used to it, because she brings it right back to yo ass in phase two!
If you're wondering what phase one consists of - here it is!
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4
Jamie doesn't advocate counting calories just yet - that will come back in phase two. Eating clean is the way she advises, it's hard, but doable.
I'm on week 3 now, and her program allows for a five-day split where you can work your most stubborn body part. In my case, I chose to do Chest and Triceps twice a week because that is my most undesirable area. Especially my triceps - flabby and out of control!
I'll keep you posted on my progress soon, just wanted to share this with you!
