Fasted Cardio

This morning I found that I could not sleep. I tossed, turned, called my granny with still no resolve. So next best thing… take my frustration to the gym. I completed my fasting cardio at 5am. But on days where I'm working through the night I figure that I'm going to switch it to 4pm, shower at the gym and be at work by 6pm. I will the. Work all night, then go straight back to the gym for strength training at 8am. I'm still trying to piece my schedule together to fit several different fitness classes. I think I'm also going to purchase some home gym items to help me get some type of workout at home too so that I'm not completely dependent on the gym.

Changes

I've decided to split my muscle groups up even more. Meaning, instead of a complete leg day, I will train twice a week with a variation of larger and smaller muscles. Today I had the opportunity to do quads and calves, with squats and lying leg press. Next week, I will complete my glutes and more hamstring exercises. I have been working and out every day and attending the gym two times/day I'm hopes of spending less time but getting more work done.

Those lying leg lifts, I was able to complete 3x12 (100lbs) then 2x15 (120) with leg placement variation. I also went up on my leg extensions to 75lbs. Squats 70lbs, and leg curl 50lbs. Doesn't sound like much but I will be adding another leg day with weighted lunges, deadlifts etc.

That's it for me folks.

Setting records making my own personal goals!

The infamous leg day came for me on Thursday and I'm pleased. Last week I started incorporating lying wide leg press to my regimen (I usually do the seated press), good golly is it tough. When I started doing leg press, a trainer told me to start at my body weight so I started pressing at 135. Theming leg press on he other had is tougher because its literally you pushing the free weight up. Last week I completed 5x12 at 90lbs. This week I completed 5x10 at 100lbs. I may do another round at 100lbs so I can increase my strength to 12 reps per set. That alone with 30 second rest breaks left me completely drenched in sweat!

Another accomplishment made since I omitted dead lifts on back day was adding weight to these exercises. I was able to get the squat rack all to my own so I added 10lbs to the 45lb barbell and used the padding and went to town. When I fusty started my journey I could not even lift the 45lb bar, then, I only able to use it in the form of dead lifts only, now I adding weigh to both my deadlifts and wide stance squats.

My vastus lateralis muscle protrudes as is but I need to work on my definition more on quads hamstrings and V.S. I think I. Was so focused on inner thigh that I'm neglecting other leg muscles.

Unfortunately I was t able to really get into my other exercises because my hypoglycemia started kicking bad. I know it's bad to work out on a empty stomach but I was so presses to get my workout done that I did not want to stop at the grocery store for pre and post meal nutrition. I'm fixing it though.

So inconsistency killed the cat!

One trait I would have to say I absolutely hate about myself is the fact that I'm so labial and inconsistent. To my defense I absolutely hate driving in the rain. Unfortunately it rain all week and, will rain until Monday.

Last night I had a bit of fun during my workout. I was able to complete all the new exercises I've been dying to try out. Next week I'm hoping to increase the the 15lb dumbbell and incorporate my arm raises. By the way, I hate those things but I love the definition I'm yielding.

Still have areas of my body that I'm trying to build up so we shall see if a change emerge.

I'm also starting a steamed only entree choices. Converting my oils to olive oil has not helped.
