PHASE 2 – BURN & SHAPE
1repfitness.com/aff/FitnessFor
I can choose from any of 5 meals per meal-time. The dinners are identical to those in Phase 1, so there’s nothing new to consider at the end of a long day at work. I mix and match as I want, keeping to the breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner menus – except I add a snack mid-morning as going from 6:30 to 12:15 is really too long for me. I’m on 1RF start of phase 2 1repfitness.com/aff/FitnessFor
This is where I “cheat” and add the allotted nut-serving from my previous nutrition plan, the EODD SNAPP. http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/FitnessFor
The workouts are going great again now that I’m totally over the last residues of the flu-bug. The coughing has all but subsided, which makes my life a lot more comfortable.
Doing just one rep at a time is really a lot of fun. It’s totally different from anything I’ve done before, and you might think that 1 rep is easy, what’s the big deal, right? Well, the big deal is in the rests between these one reps at a time. By the end of the set, believe me, you feel it!
At this point, I’m almost half-way through the program, and my intentions are to well, yes, finish the next 7 weeks of course; but also to start over from week 1 in the fall. That’s how much I’m enjoying this program. 1repfitness.com/aff/FitnessFor
In the mean time, between the end of the 1RF take 1 (now) and the start of 1RF take 2 in September, I’ll switch back to 7MM that I also enjoy doing. The difference between the two programs will totally throw my muscles off, keeping them guessing at what’s coming next.
Variety is the key here. Whether you’re thinking fat-elimination or muscle gain, you need to switch plans and programs from time to time. I guess you could compare it to a travel from say North America to Europe – at the start, it’s the plane, then you switch to trains, ferries, rental cars, keeping your mind wondering what’s happening next J
I’m travelling between Texas and France, flying from a 7-minute muscle training program to a 1 Rep at a time program and back; making sure one of them starts before and ends after that Holiday season everyone tells you is so hard to “survive”.
The nutrition programs associated with both is so similar, it’s not hard to organize cooking or outing wise at all and switching here is a synch.
These two programs may not both be the best for you, but at least one of them will hit home and become a staple workout/nutrition program for you too. I recommend finding at least one program you want to cycle once or even twice a year. It’ll be a little like coming home, you know where everything is, yet since your last passage there have been some changes – in your strength, from using another program.
I will probably end up with a third program as well, something a little more calm. Not saying easier, just more calm! As in something yoga-based maybe, I haven’t quite decided yet, and it’s too far from the end of my 1RF program to worry about it at this point.
Check out these two programs, the 1RF from France 1repfitness.com/aff/FitnessFor
that I’m doing right now, and the 7MM + EODD from Texas that I’ve been doing before and will cycle back to. 7minutemuscle.com/aff/FitnessFor and http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/FitnessFor
Have a great week, spring is in the air (although it’s still cold!)
