Training Day 1
1repfitness.com/aff/FitnessFor
Wow. 1 Rep Fitness looked challenging and fun on paper.
I just completed the training for Day 1 using the second alternative which is a 3-day split program, and I can tell you – it’s even more challenging and fun in real life than it looked on paper!
Tough, yes. I know I’ll have sore glutes tomorrow as well as quads – for the first day at my new job, that’ll be fun – probably sore pecs too, and the delts by the feel of them now; abs …doubtful, I never get sore abs, but I’ll keep training them anyway – looking into maybe getting sling straps to help with the hanging leg raises as it’s not the abs that stop my reps there, it’s my grip! For now though, I’m “stuck” with seated knee raises or lying leg raises.
I decided on the 3-day split program, doing it on Sunday morning and Tuesday and Thursday evenings so that I only have two workouts at the end of a 10-hour work-day (commute included). On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I will, if needed, add 20 minutes of cardio before breakfast.
I am very much in favour of doing no more cardio than is needed to get results.
The 1 Rep Fitness 1repfitness.com/aff/FitnessFor meal plan is simple. I went to the link, plugged in the information, and instantly received the correct amount I need of each food listed for these first 4 weeks.
The menus are also easy to use, as I get just the ingredients listed, and am free to do as I please to prepare the foods. I can grill, bake, steam, make salads, add herb and spices (nothing else) and just enjoy. With 5 menu-choices per meal, it could really not be any simpler.
Of course, I’m also in favour of the “simplify, simplify, simplify” idea (ever watched “Earth Star Voyager”?) and therefore decided on one menu per meal for the duration of this first month. I’ll only change the tastes with herbs and spices to keep it from being boring.
Oh, and for those who count calories, I worked it out for me for the first week based on the list I was given, and it’s close enough to what I need to burn fat, no need to recalculate anything, just weigh, cook/prepare, and eat.
First day, first impressions:
1 – this was as fun as I figured it would be, and then some!
2 – this is not for wimps – not if you use the correct weight load!
You should check this program 1repfitness.com/aff/FitnessFor if you want to have fun, do something different, change up your routine, get the pulse going and stay motivated throughout the workout, and -I’m certain – get results at the end!
I will be giving you weekly updates on my own 1 Rep Fitness Journey right here, with update-photos and stats every 4 weeks. Every 4 weeks, because 1repfitness.com/aff/FitnessFor is divided into 3 phases of 4 weeks each. I have no clue at this point, what’s coming next – I don’t even know what my workout will be next week! That information will be e-mailed to me towards the end of this week. No cheating, no skipping ahead, no getting impatient – I have to follow the scheduled plan!
Oh yes, one little thing: no treat this week. That’s right, 1 Rep Fitness does not allow a treat of any kind the first week! Well, that’s why I didn’t start last week – had to have my birthday cake this weekend! There’s another birthday this coming Friday as well, but I can skip that cake, it’s not mine!
OK guys, what are you waiting for? Click on 1repfitness.com/aff/FitnessFor and get started! It’s only February, start now and you’ll have completed this program by early May, plenty of time before the pools open and beaches beckon (ok, depending on where you live of course). There’s a training program for men and one for women – and for once, it makes sense to have a different one for us. Seriously!
