Shred Program

Good evening sweethearts.

Today my lovely boyfriend and I had our first ''shred-check-up'' at our coach's. Well to start with, I didn't made any big progress as we haven't changed that much concerning my diet plan and my training plan. But... my form improved a wee bit more. Sometimes it's better to get a little butt-kick that reminds you that only hard work pays off and that you can't make something out of nothing.

'' No pain, no gain'', right? 

So, concerning my diet-plan... We reduced my protein- & carb-intake a little on low-carb days because we have to decrease my calories a tiny weeny bit to get rid of the last water retentions and body-fat. As far as my carb-days go, we also cut down the carb-&protein-intake, meaning that we replaced the spelt bread with quinoa-puffed-rice-crackers and less quinoa for lunch. 

In terms of training.. pheeww... That's going to be rough for me. I will tell you why: 

Usually I hit a 40-min-HIIT workout after every gym-session, which was already exhausting to be honest. NOW, I have to do a 30-min-HIIT workout right after getting up and BEFORE having breakfast. I don't like that kind of stuff haha. I am such a grouch when it comes to cardio, especially in the morning, and on an empty stomach. So I absolutely have to pull myself together and get through those morning cardio sessions. 

And as if this wasn't enough already, I have to hit a 10-minute warm-up before every gym session (fortunately we reduced the warm-up by 5-minutes) and additionally a 20-min-HIIT after my gym-session. Pooh... Things are getting pretty tough from now on. 

I am already looking forward to the next check-up. I am convinced that I will show better results again now that my program has become even stricter. I will keep you up to date of course. 

Have a great new week and make it big. xX 

1st week of preparation

Hello!

Finally my first workout-week of my preparation is over.

As I already told you in my previous post, I was given other workout-routines. I didn't expect them do be so heavy , to be honest. When Ken and I started hitting the gym two years ago, we also went to the gym 5 times a week and we also trained in supersets. But when you stop working out in supersets , it gets really hard once you have to do them again. 

My first training-day was leg-day. And as if this leg-session wasn't heavy enough already, I still had to do a 40-minutes-HIIT afterwards. So just imagine me trying to go downstairs...haha Plus, I went pole dancing again the same day. I try to combine fitness and pole-dancing, I really need that kind of distraction once a week.

Then the second day was back-shoulders with back in supersets. The workout-session was okay... But the day after, I was so damn sore from pole-dance classes and my previous workouts that I could hardly move! 

Third workout-day was biceps, triceps and again shoulders. This was the first time that I discovered a little pumped-up vein in my left arm,which made me so happy hehe. 

The day after actually killed my legs! Not only was it leg-day, but I had to train my legs in TRISET!!! And not to forget, 40 minutes of HIIT after that! Even worse than the first day! I think I will just stay in bed forever! 

Last day finally, back-shoulders , again in TRISET, with biceps and triceps. And HIIT of course!

This first week was honestly the heaviest workout-week I have ever experienced in my life! But without effort, no results! I hope my body gets used to it very soon, I don't want to die every day haha.

That's it already. Now I am off again, I need some rest to recover from this madness!

Talk to you soon.
