Holidays are my favorite days to work out. I feel like the gym is less crowded… Is this true? I attended my Zumba class for one hour this past Sunday and went straight into the weight room for a good hour of strength training…
I’ve been trying to focus on my glutes and abs recently — why does it take so long for progress???
Post workout meal! The chicken and red potatoes were prepared by Richef! As always, yummy! 😛
I prepped the salad and fresh fruits!
You know it was a great weekend if you consumed a YOLO meal (Amandabot and I have stopped calling them cheat meals)! I requested some homemade mac and cheese from my Chef Banana…
And then on Monday night, Richef made his homemade mac and cheese and fried chicken! Looks like I need to hit the gym every single day this week! 😀
When something in life upsets you, go work out. And eat clean food. That pretty much sums up my Sunday.
I went to the gym — stayed for about one and a half hour.
Here is my gym regimen:
10 min stair warmup (my intensity level is not so high yet — work in progress)
Abs
125 ab crunch machine (50-70 lbs)
450 ab crunches
Legs (3 sets below)
10 squats on smith machine (50 lbs)
10 lunges on smith machine each side (50 lbs)
10 dead lifts with barbell (45 lbs)
40 calf raises (no weights)
10 push ups
*Bonus
7 smith machine squats (70 lbs)
As usual, the best part was the postworkout meal! Chicken with onions and peppers with roasted red potato cooked by Richef.
And as always, it was delicious!
Monday! I went to the gym and worked on my core and legs/glutes today. I was super hungry and Jamba Juice sounded awesome! I ordered an Aloha Pineapple for just $2.49 (sixteen size) with energy boost! When I was warming up — jump roping… And started working my abs (with weights), I started feeling a little nausea…
*Note to self — no smoothies while I’m jumping around. Maybe it’s just best for me to work out on an empty stomach… Or wait for 30 minutes or so…
My gym partner Trainer J also had an Aloha Pineapple and worked out immediately — lifting heavy weights — but he did not have the same symptoms as me. He even warned me to go easy on the bike… Smh. I need to pay attention to what he tells me.
But after workout is food time!! The best time!! Especially since Trainer J, or Richef when he is in the kitchen, cooked a perfect Salmon — seasoned with yummy spices (I do not know his secret recipes) over some baby spinach! Mmmm… High protein/no carb (just remembered I ate a piece of Richef’s garlic bread)/leafy veggie = plenty of deliciousness! I don’t know what’s for dinner tomorrow night, but I am already looking forward to it!
