New Year – New Plan

New Year – New Plan

I am so excited to kick off the New Year with another adventure in health and fitness. I have been back and forth with my gym schedule. However, I am not going to wait another day to get this started. I am starting again today.

I have decided to try a different schedule. I want to make sure that I do not overdo things, and I can stick to realistic goals. My new schedule will be going to the gym after my workday. When I am able to make the mornings, I will definitely take advantage of that.

I have also decided to try out a new plan. On Bodybuilding.com, there is a program created by Lee Lebrada called the Lean Body Trainer. I am starting day one tonight. I will begin the workout with five minutes on the stationary bike. This will be my warm up.

After my warm up, I will head over to the weights.

Exercise Reps/Sets Notes
Bent Over Two-Dumbbell Row 2 sets of 10-12 reps, 1 set to failure 60-90 sec rest
Underhand Pullups 2 sets of 10-12 reps, 1 set to failure 60-90 sec rest
Standing Barbell Curl 2 sets of 10-12 reps, 1 set to failure 60-90 sec rest
Dumbbell Alternate Bicep Curl 2 sets of 10-12 reps, 1 set to failure

The underhand pullups will be performed assisted.  If you can complete this exercise without assistance, then definitely take that route.  However, I am not at that point yet.

After we complete the weight training session, we are going to head over to the elliptical or exercise bike.  For the next 26-minutes, we will have a HICT (High Intensity Cardio Training) session.

Intervals:

  • Minutes 1-2: Level One (Easy resistance)
  • Minutes 3-5: Level Two (Moderate resistance)
  • Minutes 6-9: Level Three (Difficult resistance)
  • Minutes 10-11: Level Two
  • Minutes 12-15: Level Three
  • Minutes 16-17: Level Two
  • Minutes 18-21: Level Three
  • Minutes 22-24: Level Two
  • Minutes 25-26: Level One

If you are following along with me on this new program, let me know. I’d love to chat about our progress together!

Update  

Last night, I arrived at the gym just after 6 p.m. I went to the locker room, changed and I was ready for my first day back in the New Year.  I was sipping on my EEA’s from Prime Nutrition and feeling pumped.  Apparently, the entire gym was too because it was packed.

The weight training started exactly at 6:24 p.m. and it took me 24 minutes to complete.  Once I finished my session, I went upstairs and did 26 minutes of HICT on the elliptical. Overall, it was a simple workout compared to the intensity that I am used to.  However, I want to go through the entire motions of the Lean Body program.

This weekend, I will talk about the new supplements that I am taking.  I wanted to write a review about it a week into using them.  I am really liking the Prime Nutrition line, which a local company. If you decide to check them out, use GYM240 at check out.

You will get 20 percent off your order.  I’ll get more into detail after I have a better opinion of them though.  I only want to recommend products that I have tried.
