Spring 144

I’ve decided to start over and just finish the BFL regimen just at 8 weeks. I sprained my ankle a month and a half ago so the workouts became fewer. Anyways, I did some type of workout since the last time I posted.

04.15 UPPER BODY (53 min)
05.01 UPPER BODY (55 min)
05.07 UPPER BODY (53 min)
05.13 Gazelle (45 min)
05.21 FULL BODY (27 min)
05.22 Gazelle (30 min)
05.23 FULL BODY (34 min)

The plan right now is to do full body workouts which consist of 18 exercises performed twice. The ones I did recently were only for one round which is why the total time is half an hour. I considered last week as test week. As for cardio, I’ll stick to the Gazelle for now and stay away from high impact routines because the ankle isn’t fully healed yet.

Spring 100

I’m redoing week 9 because 2 workouts in a week isn’t so great. Hopefully I’ll be more motivated this coming 4 weeks after not working out for more than a week.

UPPER BODY (54 min)
Increased my maximum weight on floor presses to 35lb! I was also able to complete 6 reps of shoulder presses with 25lb successfully!

04.03.08
TAEBO Total Body (54 min)
I forgot that this workout isn’t as intense because it incorporates weights.

03.19.08
UPPER BODY (50 min)
- Odd thing happened, I felt a headache starting and I decided to drink coffee since I haven’t had my caffeine fix for the day. Afterwards, I felt so much better and the headache was gone.
- As for the workout, I listened to Mika Nakashima’s The End album. The last 2 sets of the shoulder and bicep sections burned!

03.21.08

Karatics Workout (41 min)
- Used 2lb weights on the punches. Alternated the punches and kicks. I think I’ll do the same routine next time.

Okay, I only did 5 cardio sessions instead of 6 this week. Will try to do 6 again next week.

Winter 73 BFL Wk 6

03.10 LOWER BODY + SHOULDERS (54 min)
- I used 25lb on my 4th set of overhead press but was only able to do 4 reps.
03.12 Karatics Workout 1 [modified] (40 min)
- Need to modify more.
03.14 UPPER BODY ROUTINE (49 min)
- Last 2 sets of shoulders and biceps section = BURN. I tried 25lb on bicep curls and it didn’t work well, it’s still too heavy.
03.16 LOWER BODY + SHOULDERS (54 min)

Only one cardio session this week. The plan for this week is to do 6 cardio sessions since I’ve been slacking off the past 3 weeks.

Winter 52 BFL Wk3 Recap

02.18 UPPER BODY ROUTINE (45 min)
Notes: Decided to do overhead presses and hammer curls while standing.

02.19 TAEBO Cardio (42 min)

02.20-21 Rest days. I got distracted on the second unplanned rest day.

02.22 LOWER BODY + ARMS ROUTINE (48 min)

02.23 TAEBO Cardio (42 min); P90 Sweat Cardio 3-4 (43 min)

02.24 UPPER BODY ROUTINE (49 min)
Notes: On the one-arm rows, I tried to keep the tension on my muscle throughout the whole movement. Form still suffers on the 20lb overhead triceps extension.

I’m planning to update weekly from now on. As for my diet, I’m back to counting calories after not doing it for about 2 months. I don’t seem to be losing weight so I need to watch my calories again.

P90 Sweat Cardio 3-4 (43 min)

Winter 41

P90 Sweat Cardio 3-4 (43 min)
My calves were slightly sore today but it didn’t hinder my workout.

Ab Ripper 150

Pushup (on fists)
2 sets of 20; My knuckles were facing forward just like the normal position for pushups when doing them on my palms. I usually have my knuckles facing out from my sides like the position featured in that Perfect Pushup product.

Winter 39

P90 Sweat Cardio 3-4 (43 min)
I’ve had a low-level headache practically all day. It actually started last night maybe 2 hours after my lower body workout. I was not happy when I woke up and the headache was still there. It’s an odd headache really. I feel it more as a pressure on my skull when I move a certain way. I just have a feeling of something hanging around my temple and right side of my head. I took Tylenol but it didn’t really help. At least it’s tolerable that I can function. Anyways, I’m glad it didn’t hinder my workout although I felt stabs of it during the jumping portions of the workout.
