Day 1

So you are ready to begin your journey. I know you have been given ALOT of information. Use this blog and our meetings to hold you accountable. I want you all to succeed.

Tips:
  1. Keep your fat and carbs low during this phase of the program,
  2. If you are hungry at night try a whey/casien blend protein shake. The casein in the protein is most critical, as it is slow digesting protein, which will provide you with slow trickles of amios for most of the night.
  3. It's a good idea to get at least 8 hours of sleep per night. The body grows and recovers during sleep, without that repair time everything you do goes to waste
  4. When you eat out request a lean meat that isn't basted in butter. Many resturants baste their steaks in butter and that can be a killer.

OK Here is your workout for Thursday

Walk/jog as fast as you can 2 miles further than you have done in the last 7 days. log onto the comment section with how far you went and your time. Cheer everyone on!!

i.e. If you haven't done any exercise in the last 7 days you will walk 2 miles at your fastest pace or if you have ran 3 miles you will run 5 tomorrow, go as fast as you can if you have to recover, don't stop keep moving until you recover then pick it back up.

* If you have limitations, you must consult your doctor before continuing with the exercise program.

No resistance training today that begins on Friday

Brian, Since the weather is turning cold, do you have any times on how to make treadmill time go faster? Also, is it ok to do it on an elliptical if you do not want impact?

I meant to say tips not times.

You will burn more calories on the treadmill, but an elliptical is easier on your joints. i would increase the distance you go on the elliptical to make up the difference. Also bring your headphones and catch your fravorite tv show while you do your cardio to make the time go by faster. I have even seen people bring in dvd players to watch movies, some of my clients listen to inspirational cds while walking.

What ever you do; don't let the weather give you excuses for your results. Remember YOU are in control of your destiny.
