Update

I know I’ve been inactive here for the past few weeks… I haven’t been eating unhealthily though or stopped working out.  I’ve registered for my first race!  I’m running the Manitoba half marathon on June 17th.  I’ve been training for that mostly, and catching up with friends that are home from school.  Other than that, I haven’t been online much.  It’s lost some of it’s appeal to me, to be honest.

I should be starting back up on here soon, but I just wanted to leave a little update. Love you all <3

Bored Or Plateauing?

militaryfit-bombshell:

Most people stick to workouts where they do something along the lines of 3 sets of 10-12 reps per exercise, with 2-3 minutes rest between sets. Booooorrrrring!!!! Here are a few examples of different methods to spice up your routine.

• Try 10 sets of 3, with only 20 seconds rest between sets.
• Try using a fairly heavy weight and complete 6 sets of 6 reps, doing a 3 minute treadmill sprint between each weight lifting set.
• Try using a near maximum weight and do 10 sets of 1 rep, with only 30 seconds rest between sets.
• Try using a lighter than normal weight and do 1 set of 50 reps for each exercise
• Try a workout based on only one full body exercise, such as barbell clean & presses or dumbbell squat & presses, and do nothing but that exercise for an intense 20 minutes.
• Try a workout based on all bodyweight exercises such as pushups, pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, bodyweight squats, lunges, up and down stairs, etc.
• Try a circuit of 12 different exercises covering the entire body without any rest between exercises.
• Try that same 12 exercise circuit on your subsequent workout, but do the entire circuit in the reverse order.
• Try your usual exercises at a faster repetition speed on one workout and then at a super-slow speed on your next workout.
• Try completing six 30 minute workouts one week, followed by three 1-hr workouts the next week. This will keep your body guessing.
• Try doing drop sets of all of your exercises, where you drop the weight between each set and keep doing repetitions without any rest until complete muscular fatigue (usually about 5-6 sets in a row).

There are many more ways to continue to change your training variables. This was just a taste of your possibilities. Be creative and get results!

You know what really peeves me?

I see magazine tags and such saying things like “This fucking percentage of men prefer thin/not muscular/not toned women over muscular/toned women.”

Like seriously?  You’re going to waste time and money and everyone’s fucking breath so you can tell me something I DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT.  If a guy is seriously intimidated or turned off by my “bulky” muscles, then I am way out of that fucking loser’s league anyway.

To all the magazines/media/everyone everywhere: STOP TRYING TO MAKE WOMEN FEAR ANYTHING MORE THAN A 5 POUND WEIGHT TO FIT YOUR SHITTY IDEAL OF SEXY.  Being a weak shit isn’t sexy, it’s pathetic.

No treadmill? Roads don’t exist to be gawked at. No weights? Furniture. No machines? Gravity works wonders for crunches and push ups. No stair machine? Climb some real stairs, a tree, who cares just go UP. No money for healthy food? Then no money for poptarts. Coupon. Subway. Excuses? I can’t hear you. Harsh? You don’t see success by wishing. So get out and DO IT.

I have decided that I am going to buy Insanity

I’ve got two and a half months until summer, and I am determined to get my bikini body. I need some sort of insane workout to kick my ass, and therefore I am about to order Insanity.
