Hi girls!
I just finished day 6 of Body Beast Lean Rotation Build Block 1, and feel amazing. I know the guys lift way heavier than me and that's fine its appropriate for what they can lift safely with good form. I however do not lift that heavy as they do. I think the heaviest weight I've used is #25 and that is for one arm rows. I tend to use assorted weights from #8 to #20 db, and I think on BB the heaviest is #30 so nothing crazy she hulk like going on here at all. I do want to build lean muscle and get leaner and ripped, and loose weight. Ok, having said all that I need to check in now.
Here's today's workout:
Body Beast- Build Block #1= Chest & Tri's= 49 Min
MV= 6.0
CB= 401
Turbo Fire- HiiT 15= 17 Min
MV= 10.0
CB= 232
Total calories burned= 633
I thought about doing Cardio Coach on the TM today but my legs said not so much, so I did TF HiiT workout instead, and it was fun too! I had a super fun workout and so glad I got Body Beast, its fun!
Belinda- WTG on SBF Vintage Sleek Sexy Shoulders = 10 min + UB Chisler = 12 min sounds great, and super efficient on time. Nice way to end workout week with something not too long. Have a fab and blessed weekend.
Debbie-Glad you had a chance to look at clips at the links I sent you. Yes, no mistaking Body Beast was clearly marketed for men. However, there are alot of women who have used it and gotten results loosing weight getting more ripped and cut looking without putting on shear unfeminine mass to look like she-hulks. I want to increase my metabolic burn helping my body to burn more fat even while at rest, gain muscle tone, and increase a bit in my strength. As someone with MS its been a challenge to get my strength back and help with balance and overall functional fitness I need to use every day like normal people do. In my case its a struggle so I combat that with exercise to keep the nerve function working to send signals to muscles to work. The muscle strength is there but the signal from the brain to the muscle doesn't work as efficiently as it used to due to outer nerve insulation damage that MS causes. Think of it like a lamp cord the outer cord you see is the insulation protecting the nerve inside, and if there is scarring or damage to the outer insulation it disrupts the electrical signal to the muscle to move from the brain. MS or Multiple Sclerosis means many scars these are what form on the nerves or centers of the brain effected from MS. SO keeping active creates a nerve/muscle memory from use and it does help to keep that signal better able to send and receive better. That's why I workout like a maniac, LOL!! My MS is aging with me and so far the initial nerve damage has not gotten worse. But MS is very effected by heat, cold, and fatigue. The summer has been extremely hot making my MS symptoms that are more subtle very obvious. Those that don't that its MS think I'm drunk or something, and when my balance is iffy I use a cane to make me more stable which seems to be when its hot out. MS fatigue is extremely tough to deal with just to do normal everyday chores around the house. I have to have a game plan and prioritize to aim for the most important stuff and if I can get to the other stuff on the list I consider that a bonus. I have to take lots of rest breaks to get things done. Anyways, that is why I was interested in Body Beast, not to get huge or she hulk like, but just to loose weight, get more fit/toned, and keep nerve and muscle links active and functioning. I appreciate your advice and sharing your knowledge about working out etc. Take care and have a blessed weekend!
Chris, Roxie- Hello's and waves I hope you both are having a great weekend and feeling great! Have a blessed weekend.
Hugs, blessings, and healing prayers
