5Am Workouts!



Recommended Posts

My day has started well!! A few of you have asked me what I have done to maintain my weightloss for almost 4 years and what I have done to keep away from the dreaded lose skin.Here are a few examples from my daily routine..

1. Wake up 4:30am at the gym by 5:00am stretching by 5:15

2. Spin class from 5:30-6:30am

3. Drink A protien shake 10-15 min after work out

4. Get ready to work by 8 am

5. Eat first meal, small oat meal OJ and a half apple sliced

6. lunch half chicken breast spinach salad, lemon juice for dressing and cottage cheese table spoons 1:00pm

7. snack dry almonds 8-10 pieces

8. dinner 1/2 Ground turkey patty 1/2 cup mashed potatos brocolie 7pm

9. Walk or jog with the dogs 1 hour

Lotts of water! i drink at least 10 bottles per day! Add resistance trainning to your work out! Remember you are losing weight very fast, you dont want to lose valuable muscle mass. Do a lot of reps not a lot of weight! There is no magic number just do it to muscle failuer, meaning do the reps until you cant do anymore! post-206224-13813134041776_thumb.jpg post-206224-13813134041948_thumb.jpg

I went from that to this! In two years! This is not an easy fix, it takes time and dedication! You can do it!

How soon after surgery did you begin weight training?

I started about a year after. I lost the weight due to majior back issues so after I lost 100 lbs I have a spinal fusion and literally began weight training a month after back surgery

That sounds very familiar....my gym opens at 5, and I am there 5 days a week at 5:30am.....I will also say there is a pretty good crowd there also....

I run 5 miles each day, except once a week I attend the "Advanced Training" class...aka "Boot Camp"

The other days I lift weights after my run....

The good thing about the health club I attend, is that they have locker rooms, showers, sauna, steam room and whirlpool...so I cam literally crawl out of bed, drive to the club with my coffee in hand. After my workout I can shower, shave and dress for work.

They also have a restaurant with a lunch counter where I can purchase my morning, recovery, Breakfast smoothie....

When I miss a workout day...I can feel it and I'm down all day long...a true sign of a exercise junkie!
