Eatin’ and Workin’ Monday 11/7/11
No eating today because it was a fast day. I’ve been fasting once per week for the better part of the past 3 years and love it. My good buddy Brad Pilon, who’s a nutrition genius, turned me on to it and if you want to learn more about his style and arguments for intermittent fasting, head to www.FatLossToGo.com/EatStopEat.html
To help alleviate any fears you have, you won’t lose your muscle, you won’t go catabolic and you won’t ruin your metabolism by fasting once per week…
As for today’s workout, here’s the rundown…
After my warm-up I did..
Group #1:
Inverted Row/Dips/Burpee. 4 sets of 10/12/12 I used the Jungle Gym XT for Inverted Rows.
Group #2:
Ring Dips/DB Row/Burpee (again!). 3 sets of 8/8/12. I used the Jungle Gym XT for the dips, which are awesome and wicked tough at the same time.
Group #3:
KB Swing/1-Arm Shoulder Press/Face Pull. 3 sets of 15/10/10. If you’ve never done Face Pulls, I suggest giving them a go. They’re great at working your upper back, which is avoided in most folks’ workout programs. Given I’m a trainer and massage therapist, I can safely say that most people’s upper backs are janked. Face Pulls help fix that jankiness.
Group #4:
Shrugs/Curls. 2 sets of 15. Not the best finisher, but to be totally honest I was spent and wanted to get out of the studio and head home to see my babies, plus i had like 50 emails to return.
