Si – Checking in

Hi all I hope you are all well today and fighting fit of course! I’m totally changing my site. An idea I thought would be beneficial to readers and members would be to check-in and share what I’ve been up to…..so here I am and here is my first check-in post. Wow, what a couple of weeks it has been. On 1st November I started doing a straight 30 days of Insanity Asylum. I’d performed a few of Asylum’s crazy workouts as part of a hybrid workout before, but I’d never tried a straight round of Asylum. For those of you who don’t know about it, Asylum is a 30 day intense workout programme from the hugely successful Beachbody team. Today I’m 20 days into the programme and I’ve lost a whopping 11 lbs!!! I honestly didn’t think I had 11 lbs to lose, but obviously I had. 2011 has …

Super, Straight & Circuit Training

Workout Description This workout mixes up three popular workout methods for total muscle confusion. There are two full body workouts to keep your metabolism high and an upper body workout  to concentrate more on your ‘glamour’ muscles. The first workout is an antagonistic superset day (opposing muscle groups), the second workout is compound day using straight sets, the third workout is an upper body circuit. I use this workout to kick boredom into touch. I love all three methods and this is actually a very balanced overall workout. Link to this post!

Time For Turbulence Workout

Workout Description Time for turbulence shocks your body into using the magic combination of weights and cardio to get rid of your body fat, especially around your mid section. I’ve also used this routine as a tone and shaping routine with great success. Workout Notes Superset training, perform exercise A followed by B with no rest inbetween, that’s one set of each exercise. Alternate between workout 1 and workout 2. One week you will do workout 1 twice and workout 2 once. The next week you will do workout 2 twice and workout 1 once and so on. Perform workout 1 on Monday, workout 2 on Wednesday, back to workout 1 on Friday. The next week you should do workout 2 on Monday, workout 1 on Wednesday and workout 2 again on Friday. Of coure, you don’thave to stick to Mondays, Wenesdays and Fridays – you could opt for Sundays, …

Diversity Fat Loss Workout

Workout Description The diversity fat loss workout is simple in principle. You choose 1 exercise per body part, perform one exercise after another in a circuit, performing a total of three circuits. This workout is great for preventing boredom and is extremely sustainable. Doing three workouts of this type per week will speed up your metabolism and is of course, diverse. Workout Notes Choose an exercise for each body part and perform each set for 8 reps. For example, you could do squats for legs, bench press for chest, bent over rows for back, military press for shoulders, lying french press for triceps, barbell curl for biceps and crunches for abs. The next workout you could change the exercises, as long as you still do one exercise per body part.   Main Goal: Days Per Week: Type of Workout: Number of weeks: Workout Level: Weight Loss 3 Circuit Training 8 …
