Jamie Eason's Livefit Trainer — Phase 1, Day 2

Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer: Day 2

Today we're in the gym working on the bombshell muscles: back and biceps.
by Jamie Eason Aug 17, 2011

Today we're in the gym working on the bombshell muscles: back and biceps. Training these puppies will make you look like a knockout, especially in your favorite dress.

Remember that we're not lifting with 100% intensity on every rep. Be proud and push yourself, but leave the 100s on the rack. They'll get their chance.

Before your workout, leave work at work and home at home. When you reach the gym, the business meetings go bye-bye and the kitchen cleans itself.

If you're in the gym physically, you should be in the gym mentally.

The Workout:



Back/Biceps:

Phase 1 Diet Tips:


  • Eat first meal within an hour of waking.


  • Plan ahead! Designate a food preparation day.


  • Measure and weigh everything whenever possible. Purchase measuring cups and a kitchen scale.


  • Eat every three hours (usually 5 or 6 times a day, depending on when you wake up)! It's the secret to speeding up your metabolism. Be on time!


  • Drink lots of water! May have coffee & tea with Stevia or a no-cal sweetener.


  • Take a daily multivitamin. If lifting weights, you might consider taking an additional calcium supplement.


  • Take one tablespoon of Flaxseed or Fish Oil daily. Flaxseed and fish oil actually aid in weight loss and encourages healthy bowel movements. (Mix in oatmeal or mashed sweet potato after heating food. Do not heat flaxseed.)


  • Consistency is key! If you have a day where you slip up … Don't give up! Start fresh at your next meal or the next day. You can do it!

Female Diet for Phase 1


Breakfast

Evening:

Note: No carbs (starch) after 7:00 PM (or about 3 hours before bedtime).

Limit fruit to twice daily: berries first thing in the morning and then a full citrus serving or banana after a workout with your protein shake. Carry a small apple in your gym bag at all times in case an energy slump hits!

I love having a set routine to follow. It makes it much easier and I don't feel like I'm wasting my time in the gym figuring out what to do next.
Just finished up Day 2. Looking forward to the end of Week 12 so I can my results!

I am so motivated by the easy to follow instructions, no calorie counting, no cardio in the first month, and it just seems so motivating! I have always loved weight training. As I've gotten into my late 30's, I've developed serious knee problems and cannot handle all of the running. This sound like a great plan for me and boy am I ready!

Today is my day 3 and so far, I LOVE this program. It's such a great way to ease into the more strenuous later parts of the program, except by then, you will have built up your strength and endurance so it won't seem so strenuous. I love being able to go to the gym, follow my work-out list with 60 seconds of rest in between, and before I know it, I'm DONE working out. No time wasted or wandering around the gym thinking of what to do next. The clean eating is also great b/c I don't get that sluggish feeling anymore.

I am having a hard time eating so much and not all of the machines are available at the gym, but I am doing what I can with what I have. I am determined. I have just started so I hope I can keep it going.
