This is what I have been doing at the gym. These days.
Ok, I just posted this to Mikes post below about Protein and working out and I so I figured since I have not posted this before and I have just add another weight manchine to the rountine that I would share this with you all... I have to say I am all new... To the working out and getting phyiscal but I am enjoying it very much.. I wish I would have done this before WLS.. But here it is...
Here is what I do 3 times a week, some times 4.
12 reps of :
*Leg extensions @ 95#
*Seated Leg Raises @ 95#
* Vertical Chest @ 80#
* Compound row @ 85#
* Peck Fly @ 90#\
* Overhead Press @ 40#, I just added this to my rountine.... Its a killer..
* Preachers Curl @ 80#
* Triceps press@ 85#
* Adductor/ Abductor @ 95#
* Abdomonal @ 90#
* Low back press @ 95#
I do a 5 minute warm up on the tread mill and finish up with 15 minutes after my weight lifting.
I am getting in between 80 to 120 grams of protein per day.. and a rough estimate of about 40 to 60 grams of carbs... It is so hard to get in that munch protein sometimes... Oh I also get in 80 ozs of water.. Plus another 16 ozs of coffee, I know I am bad.... I love my coffee though... Thank God I don't drink booze or beer any more... Just the ol' Joe... I can not Live with out it.. and If I don't have my cup of joe before the gym in the mornings Oh! I feel so sluggish... But I try to sip on a protein shake during my workout and that helps on the burn out afterwards... It really does. I just found that out too here in the last week or two... So any body have any sugestions on areas I should be ... or to add? I would appreciate any and all feedback... Since it is -20 below zero here this morning I did not make it to the gym so I am planing on getting there this evening but if not I will be there tomorrow for sure...
Take care and hope everyone has a great weekend!
