Fat Loss Diet – Stollen from Oxygen

Posted by on Aug 8, 2010 in Blog, Nutrition | 0 comments

So I stole this diet from Oxygen magazine, it’s not one of my own. Although I question the lack of protein in it I’m currently giving it a shot and have already lost 4lbs in 1 week, so I guess it’s okay.  I’d suggest that after you’re done with this diet that you stick to something similar to week 3.  I’ll let you know how my progress goes. Week 1: Meal 1 Meal 2 Meal 3 Meal 4 Meal 5 Meal 6 3/4c cooked oatmeal,not instant 1 orange or banana 1 apple 1/2c...

Summer time eating plan

My 4 week conditioning program (weights)

Posted by on Jul 28, 2010 in Blog, Training | 0 comments

I’m now coming to a finish with my current weight program.  I’ve never really liked weights, but I’ve actually really gotten into this.  I keep myself pretty busy with a 4 day program, however I do it 2 days on, one day rest, then two days on again.  It’s pretty intence as I end up training about 5 days/week, but I enjoy it. I also do sprints as my cardio, rather then doing a long cardio session.  I find this gets my heart rate up and keeps it high for my whole workout.  Because...
