First question: I feel muscle weakness after a good run on the tread..like jelly is all..Do you recommend a supplement before or after to help with that feeling..I drink lots of H20 btw
ReplyDeleteClick on the yellow Fit True Resources on this blog. Under the SUPPLEMENTS are "2:1:1 Recovery" and "BCAA 1000" Either would be good for you. Both would be better. I'd take them right after your workout. I mean right after, as in, inside-your-gym-bag-as-soon-as-you-are-done-with-your-workout right after. You shouldn't be feeling like jello after your workouts with these. Let me know if you still feel that way.

ReplyDeleteokay..i have one...i have been working out for a lil over a month and everything was good..when i stress or things come in up in life..i realize tht i stop..so now i have stopped and its been about 1 week and a half since i have workd out..what can i do to get that motivation again.. the same thing hapened about 2 years ago i was doing really good and then i stopped and is just now trying to get it back!!
That's funny you mention it because I was thinking about blogging on motivation next.
ReplyDeleteA couple things could be going on. 1. If stressors of some kind REGULARLY sabotage your workouts then you have to re-evaluate your goals. Are they realistic? No one sets out to set unrealistic goals, but setting goals that don't anticipate stressors are unrealistic. Is there a pattern to your workout interrupting stressors? Are they emotional? Family related? Relational? Job related?
The best answer that I can give for your motivation problem without getting more info from you on the details is to say get back on that horse ASAP. Once you start working out again you won't see the stressor as defeating your workouts but your workouts as refusing to be permanently interrupted by your stressor.
You have resolve. You are all that and a protein shake. You are the stuff. Phooey on that silly stressor that TEMPORARILY derailed you. You rock too much to let that dictate your life and goals.
Hope that helps.

ReplyDeletelol. I actually have a real one now. I'm a cardio nut...no problems with that area. But when I do weights (I prefer free weights) I tend to stick to a back/biceps one day and chest/triceps. Should I be switching that up? Meaning does my body become accustomed to the same routine and I'm getting less results? Also I do abs 6 days a week? Too much?
Yep, I recommend you switch it up. The body thrives on variety. Click on the yellow Fit True Resources and check out "The Men's Health: Book of Muscle. It's got some workouts to give you some variation.
ReplyDeleteNo need to do abs 6 days. Two is plenty. i mean you can, but how are your calves? As big as your bis? They should be.
Oh wise and benevolent TIM, is there a way to target belly weight loss?
ReplyDeleteAssuming that you are working out and getting your heart rate up at least 40 minutes three times a week AND eating 5 to 6 small meals throughout the day then I would recommend a couple of safe natural products. Click on the yellow FIT TRUE RESOURCES and the "Green Tea" and the "Acai" product on the supplements page.
ReplyDeleteI always miss "ask a question day". One of these days I'll actual read your blog the same day I receive it.
