FREE Active Summer Beginner Cross-Training Plan --Join Me?



Recommended Posts

Active Trainer is offering this 9 week cross training plan FREE! I got it and I am going to start on Friday July 16th.

As an example here is the first workout:

Today you're going to do as many rounds as you can do for 30 minutes:

  • 2 minute run/walk with a purpose
  • 5 push ups
  • 10 squats
  • 10 sit ups

Then you record how it went, how you feel etc.

Here is the link:

BTW: After you create an account and put the workout in your cart and go to checkout it asks for credit card info just leave that blank and submit and it will give you the workout. :) It will also start the day you get it but you can go to your daily log screen and move it to start a different day.

ANYBODY WANT TO PLAY? :eek:

HOLY CRAP! Now that had to kill some fat cells.

I walked to our local park, then did the 2 min run, 5 push ups (on my knees), 10 squats, 10 sit ups (really more like crunches since I was on the grass) X 10 so a grand total of:

20 min. running

50 push ups

100 squats

100 crunches

Walked for 39 additional min.

Covered 3.73 miles. Plus my husband went with me, we had a blast! :( But I forgot to wear my Body Bugg! :sad:

OK, my thighs are killing me and I gained a pound, so I consider this a successful workout! When I really work my muscles they hold Water for a day or two and then when that Water leaves it usually takes a pound of fat with it. :cool:

Here is what is on tap for tomorrow:

As many rounds as you can do for 30 minutes:

  • 4 minute run/walk with purpose
  • 5 body rows
  • 5 tuck jumps
  • 5 plank holds for :15 seconds
  • 10 squats

BTW:

Body rows are where you lay under a bar that is a few feet off the ground and pull your self up, like a laying down chin up.

Tuck jumps, jump straight up and tuck in your legs.

Plank hold is where you are laying face down on your forearms and your toes and hold your body up straight, no sagging.

Wish me luck. :wink2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
