2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

None. Like I said it doesn't happen at the gym; just when picking stuff up off the ground, reading the green for my putt, etc.

I do exercises where my knee touches the ground (reverse lunge, rear foot elevated split squat, I'm sure others) but that doesn't result in any noise. Only when I squat very low.

I would get it checked out, just for precautionary measures..

Is DDP Yoga no longer on Amazon?

Looks like it's currently unavailable. Not sure if they will re-stock it or not. I've been wanting to check this program out myself, as my flexibility is terrible right now.

Powered through a 4-mile run on the treadmill yesterday. Man, I really despise running on that thing.

Depending on who you talk to, some feel that squatting only to 90 degrees is bad for the knees.
They recommend squatting "@$$ to grass", as they say.

Their reasoning is that forcing the knee to come to an abrupt halt causes unneeded strain.
That's why they recommend going all the way down.

I will say that I've noticed less knee pain since I adopted this. But everyone's body is different.
My knees also go beyond my toes when squatting. This has been considered a no-no for generations, but I've read that for taller people, it's necessary and actually saves tension to the hips.

BTW, I also have grinding and popping in my knees. I used to have it a lot more, but I no longer do anything but squats. Since making that alteration, it's gotten a lot better.
Leg Presses, extensions and lunges seem to give me problems.

I can't stand running on a treadmill. I could do a mile tops before I get really bored. It's just extremely dull.

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

Kind of getting into a rut with Insanity. I love the work-out, but would like something different to keep things from getting stale. Where do you guys get routines?

I'm on month 8 of insanity now. What I have done is do 2 full cycles and now I have been cycling month one over and over. I try to mix it up by doing one day on the treadmill with an intense 25 minute run. I start at 3 incline and start at 6.2 speed and increase every five minutes. I finish last 5 at 8. I then do 3 sets each of decline push-ups using a chair at 10 reps each, and incline sit-ups using a 8k medicine ball with 20 reps.

I also use the recovery day to do a different routine, either t25 or a day from month 2 or just cardio recovery. I need the regimen or else I'd fall off the wagon in a hurry.

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

I went out and bought a bike so that I can add that to my daily routines once the weather warms up a bit.


Might be adding the Marine Corp marathon in October to my list. Yep.........all 26 miles!

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

Been awhile since I've updated. Been mostly running every other evening, with random Insanity routines every other night when I don't run. So far, I've lost 7 lbs. Feeling great at 169 lbs.

Nice! What kind of bike did you get and how far/often do you plan on riding?

Good luck with a marathon. I just don't see myself ever doing one. A 100-mile bike ride is something I would like to do, though.

Went on the serious side as I plan to bike 10-15 miles per day and 30-40 miles on weekend days.


Giant Propel Advantage 3


I will be doing a couple charity rides and a 125 mile ride this Summer.

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

I have a custom Workout and Eating plan that is built around losing fat and gaining muscle quickly. It can be pretty bad if done for an extensive period of time. I've dropped from around 200 down to 165 in about 3 or 4 weeks.

Re: 2014 FITNESS CHALLENGE

Do tell...

Workout Plan: (Don't forget to stretch)
Monday - Saturday: Elliptical Workout (Highest resistance) Burn between 800 - 1000 Calories
Monday,Wednesday,Friday: Strength Workout (Chest, Biceps, Triceps, Forearms, Back, Shoulderd) 5 + exercises per muscle group.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: Strength Workout (Legs, Calfs, Butt, Lower Back, Abs) 5+ exercises per muscle group.
Monday - Saturday: Running Workout (Non - Treadmill) Run between 1 - 2.5 Miles, and gradually increase as your body adapts to running more.
Sunday: Relaxing day, no workouts.

Eating Plan:
Monday - Saturday: 1 Meal a day around dinner time. Nothing huge but a small meal around 1000 calories.
Sunday: 2 meals one in the morning and dinner. following the same format as above. (I've also had success eating McDonald on this day as well. Nothing to huge. Ex: Mcdouble, small fries, and a large Powerade is good.)

Note: This plan also works with having a second meal earlier in the day each day. I usually have a chicken salad with fruit and vegetables and have found it just as successful.
