Today's workout: Upper body Cardio kickbox for 37 minutes.
https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/no-equipment-upper-body-and-cardio-kickboxing-workout

Postponing it for today. Yesterday I did the mistake to not take a break to workout, during my work shift. And I obviously was too tired to do my workout, after.
Next week I come back on day shifts so I will have more energy, to do my workout right after work.

leg day when not feeling good? you're tough, Lovey!

Lol I wound up not going but I really need to go in today. I feel fine now, thank God.

Switching to Planet Fitness this week so I can use their red light machine thing. I want to beam myself up lol

Update: I went to my gym. It was crowded, and I don't feel comfortable working out there when it's too crowded. Decided to take the day off. At least I got a shower in.

I've been working out consistently since the end of December and have toned up/lost weight but I just feel I need a few days off, then reboot my workouts when I go to Planet Fitness. I read online that it's ok to take a break every 8 weeks or so. By break I mean a few days to a week. I don't want to lose what I've worked hard for.

I got my period. No wonder I've been so sleepy and lazy.

^ Your video links inspired me today ! I didn't do the gym but I did squats and girl push ups at home instead.

Oh, I am glad to hear that!!! Those links are part of the workout program I follow, they are free, but I paid $15, to have them organized in a calendar and don't have to worry what workout to schedule (I can re-use the program forever, for those $15). If you wanna follow along, the program is 50-60 minutes 5 days a week + 1 stretch day (usually 15 minutes or so) and it lasts for 8 weeks. It has Upper body, lower body, core and they are combined (hiit, strength, cardio)... it's pretty much packed up with everything and excellent to do it even at the gym, because you only need dumbbells and a mat (sometimes a bench, but I don't have one, so I modify).

I only need discipline hahahah :)))

I had to postpone it for today, yesterday I got some ugly back pain (it was sore muscles combined too, after the upper body day), so I said it's not the case to risk an injury. So, this is my today's workout.

Well I might be in trouble because I did calves tonight for the first time in eons, and you know when you work out a muscle group you never train how fucking sore it gets. But I naturally have big calves and I feel like they could be glorious if I actually focused on them. I also figured out a way to do squats that really hits my quads; normally I do low-bar because I have found it to be the most efficient movement pattern for my anthropometry but I think it’s actually too efficient and puts no load on my quads. I’m gonna keep doing high volume low-bar squats though as a conditioning workout.

I was told by a couple personal trainers (that I’ve fucked not trained with)that calves are just what they are naturally, and as long as you are doing lower body/walking plenty they should be getting enough action. Like for everyone big or small calves the degree of change is tiny. I don’t know, mine are big as hell and I never train them. Just in squats and occasional step ups on leg day. I’m trying to think of what else there is besides calf raises and farmer’s walks.

I’m back at pre vacation lifts and am upping my back, bicep, shoulders and chest. I have been dragging my feet on buying more plates so I can raise my hip thrust. Loading the bar for that is starting to feel like a whole other exercise in itself.

Just want to say I wish I had bigger calves. My legs tend towards being a bit chicken drumstick-shaped, kind of like J-Lo except I'm luckily taller so can hide it more. Mine get cut but not much bigger when I train. Regular longer distance running is the only thing that makes them bigger but I rarely do that nowadays.

Well, I believe u can fix that with some surgical help... there is an influencer in my country, she had a leg amputated because an accident and that leg's thigh got really thin, so she had to have fat extracted from the other thigh, to make it even. She is training in the gym and everything but still, there was a major difference. So this is solvable.
I also have issues with thighs being too thick (I am only 5'0 and it actually looks like 2 chicken drumsticks... super thin calves and thick thighs) and after I reach my desired shape through workout, I will go correct the excess at a surgeon. I don't do it before getting as fit as possible, because I might not get the desired results.

Is it a calf implant you're referring to?

No, fat removal from your thighs sides... for example, I have a problem with the fat on the inner thighs, so that's what I wanna get rid of.

I've got into quite good shape over the past couple of months. I upped hot yoga purely for the psychological benefits as I was very stressed, and had forgotten just how toned it makes me. Been doing that around 4/5 days a week plus 1 or 2 sessions of intervals/circuits

I do agree with this; we have all seen very strong, jacked dudes, even ones on gear, with huge hamstrings and quads but with tiny ankles and no calves. I think if I start training mine I can get them pop more/have more definition. Which this makes me think of something that has always confused me: the arguments against 'toning.' I hear people in the fitness world say over and over that there is no such thing as toning, there's only building muscle, losing fat, or both, and I disagree. Throughout my life whenever I have started lifting weights(like after not having worked out in a long time) within two weeks I will see new definition. I know I didn't magically put on a couple pounds of muscle in ten days and I know I don't have the world's fastest metabolism to where a few workouts would cause my bf % to noticeably drop, I think there is something that happens when you first start challenging muscles that don't normally get challenged. I've also seen how competition coaches will switch to different types of exercises for muscles that they don't want to grow anymore but still need to have definition and lines.

yeah for sure toned is real. Back when I was terrified that I would look too muscular if I lifted heavy on upper body I still worked my triceps/biceps/shoulders often. The weights just never went over 10, and included Barre and Pilates classes/exercises. I think its fair to say you can't "tone" any muscle till you have built it up that muscle first. That's why I get frustrated at times when toning programs are marketed as weight-loss. I eventually left one Barre studio after they had a weight-loss competition, and the whole place got more mean girl then usual.

Well I am limping. Yesterday the DOMS started setting in and it was getting painful any time I stood on my tippy toes on cam but as of last night I officially cannot flex my right foot because that calf is so sore. I have to walk on my tippy toes if I want to be able to actually walk quickly and if I have been sitting down when I get up I cannot put my right foot flat on the floor at all. I wanted to do OHPs tonight and even though they don't involve the calves I might have to skip it because of the extreme soreness.

ETA oh dear I just saw my special walk in the reflection of my neighbor's windows when I was getting my packages from the front yard and I look like a T-rex because I have to walk with bent legs on my tippy toes because of the pain. Every house here has security cameras I hope no one sees me.

^^^Well you should have seen me doing it all through the grocery store today. At least I was able to hang onto a cart so I could stabilize my upper body and wasn’t so obviously lurching forward with every step. The pain is even worse now and I’m unable to flex both feet. Good thing I got my camming out of the way early because I don’t think I could do it now.

Omg I love planet fitness so much better than my old gym! I like that they have all my favorite machines, and that they are big on cleanliness. Each cardio machine has its own TV. The app shows how busy it is. The locker rooms and showers are nicer, and I love the total body enhancement machine thing! It's so fun to go in there as a reward for my hard work. I let the fan blow all over me and I sing to the music they have in there. I took before photos and I'll take after photos at the end of the month to see if there's a difference. So many perks at PF! I love it!

My DOMS is finally beginning to subside after peaking last night. I am able to put my left foot flat on the floor again and I can with my right foot now finally but I can't apply any weight to it. Still limping, still can't workout. I can also finally apply some pressure to my calves without feeling like they're being stabbed. This was the worst soreness ever, my calves felt exactly like how my pecs felt after my first breast augmentation. The comments under the calf exercise video that I used on youtube had people warning that they were fucked up for days, I guess they weren't joking.

Today I'm focusing on not eating a ton of donuts. For some reason my meds have been making me crave glazed donuts (which have never even been my favorite) so my meal planning for the last few weeks has been looking like this:

You know what I just removed the pics because, as someone who will literally eat desserts WHILE working out, I didn't think of how triggering they could be on a fitness thread LOL. (Btw don't eat dessert while working out, I once puked up iced oatmeal cookies in my mouth so bad while deadlifting because I kept eating them in between sets.)

Well I am probably going to be fucked up for a few days again. I stopped doing any stiff-legged or Romanian deadlifts a while ago because they always ended up aggravating either my lower back, my left hamstring, or both, but after watching a really thorough troubleshooting video I want to try again and my hamstrings get VERY sore when I haven't worked them out in a long time even with very low volume.

Nah, not triggering for me, I just wanted to be funny haha :))) But yeah, maybe for other people it could be, yeah...
Even tho I got a lil chubby, I have a healthy relationship with the food, I don't feel guilt after indulging myself or not working out for weeks in a row, I am perfectly aware that it's MY choice what I put in my mouth or wasting that hour on useless shit instead of working out. And in the same time, I am super disciplined when I put my mind to it (like I do now), so it's all good hehe!

Today's workout. The calendar shows me that it's time for stretching day, so I will do it and add the extra challenges I missed last week.

So, 10 min abs: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/10-minute-abs-workout-at-home-abs-and-obliques-exercises-with-no-equipment

And the 18 min stretching routine: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/daniels-favorite-lower-back-stretches-for-stiff-sore-muscles

And with that, today I finish week 1, of the 8 weeks workout program. The calendar shows 1 day off tomorow, but since I had 3 days off during period, I will reschedule and start week 2 right away. Yey!

I don't think it gives the benefits of an actual workout: better heart rate, better sleep, better lungs, the ability to not get tired when going on a walk or carry groceries, a great posture and other non scale victories and non related to looks type of health that comes with working out. Maybe I am wrong, I don't know... thing is that electro stimulation has been a thing and it's been as beneficial as taking boobs growing pills lol. But maybe science evolved and this has been improved to give actual results.

But, I believe it could be a great pair with traditional workouts, combining them would probably be the best choice. It looks interesting yes!

Rescheduled for today. I forgot I had to do my nails (I do them at home, gel manicure) and yeah... the gel just peeled off from 2 nails yesterday, pretty visible. So I had to do them and skip workout, because it takes me 2 hours to do it.

Edit: Rescheduled again. Other things came up, but I did workout on my spinning bike, so... all good.

My goal currently is to fix my knees. Idk why but end of 2021 they just started hurting. I couldn't ride my bike, hardly bend so no squats or anything, can't crawl so when I get a pole at home floorwork is off, ugh. I'm doing the 'knees over toes guy' program, seems to be working, last bike ride went better.

Also trying to get decent cardio schedule. Im trying out skipping daily, get my heart going and hear it's great for posture, swimming, and I'll join a pole class (I need the social too)

Done with this one too. I didn't put too much effort, because I was super sore, but still had a good sweat. I skipped the extra credit challenge, my legs were burning too much.
For tomorow I got Upper body+ cardio (44 min) : https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/day-2-fitness-blenders-5-day-workout-challenge-to-burn-fat-and-build-lean-muscle

Cutie101, you seem really good at being consistent overall - it's great. Not sure if you mentioned before but do you have weights at home to do those sessions, or just use bodyweight?

Thank you Jessa! Well, I am trying to be consistent, I had months without consistency, but I am learning to be kind to myself and realize this is a lifestyle, not a quick fix and now I am picking up where I left, rather than abandoning.
I have weights at home, altough those workouts can be done using body weight, water bottles, books, etc. Their workouts can be also filtered by "no equipment" as they have plenty of bodyweight ones.
I have weights from 0.5 to 12 lb for now and I plan to buy something like this, to save up space, because I will start lifting heavier in about 1-2 months https://www.amazon.com/ATIVAFIT-Adjustable-Dumbbell-Strength-Training/dp/B09QQ2JLT5/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?keywords=adjustable%2Bdumbbell%2Bs et&qid=1649865067&sprefix=adjustab%2Caps%2C200&sr=8-3-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExUVEzWDA3MFJIUEpNJ mVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTQ0NzcxQkwyR1g5UlFaS0JDJmVuY3J 5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxOTU1MDQxT1AxTE40WkhKNE8md2lkZ2V0T mFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3R Mb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&th=1

Done. Tomorow's day 5 of workout is a 63 minutes HIIT and Abs workout: https://www.fitnessblender.com/videos/hiit-and-abs-workout-63-minute-ab-and-cardio-workout

And it's last day of the week. The program includes an optional stretching day, in the 6th day, so I will do that one too, since it's only 15 minutes.

Today I also went on the scale and it shown 2 lbs (1kg) lost in 10 days. It would have been faster, but life got in the way. Anyway, I am happy.
