Summer is on the way and at some point, this Greek Yogurt like body will be revealed at the beach. In order to spare someone the effort of trying to save me by pushing me back out into deep water, I've started my latest futile attempt to firm up this 50+ year old vessel.
I've always been a firm believer in switching things up in your workouts. I get very stagnant after about 3-4 months of anything and try to drastically change things after that amount of time. I had been seeing the Body Beast workout advertised over the last year and finally decided to give it a try. It's a pretty unique weight program designed to be able to get a great workout at home as long as you have a decent set of dumbbells and a pull up bar.
I decided that I would watch the videos and write down the workouts and take them to the gym instead of doing them at home. First, I knew that was the right decision immediately because about 5 minutes in, I realized the trainer in the video is one of the biggest meatheads I've ever encountered. An Israeli bodybuilder with a bad accent and a pea brain. You think Tony Horton is obnoxious? Think again.
"Okay, let's warm up with some push ups. Aahh...oohh yeah....oooo....I am pumped already. This shirt is already tighter. I feel I'm going to bust out of it before this killer workout is over." Flex...flex...moan.
But the good part is I'm 3 workouts in and I haven't been this sore in years. (Sore in a good way, like I've actually done something) Could not finish the leg routine yesterday they were shaking so bad. It has a cardio day, which I haven't gotten to yet, but this is the first time in quite a while that I've gone back to really focusing on weight training. Gonna' do everything I can to stick with this one til the end.
