My daily workouts consists of 2 cardio sessions and 1 weight lifting session.
I arrive at my gym and run on the outdoor soccer field for 40 minutes. I also take 3 soccer balls and when I take a break from running laps, I keep moving by shooting the balls at the goal. I also do a mixture of push ups, jumping jacks, burpees, squats and sit-ups. When 40 minutes are up, I move to the weight room.
At the weight room, I work on 2 muscle groups. Day 1: lats/triceps. Day 2: deltoids/pecs. Day 3: legs (glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves.) Day 4: biceps/abs. After I'm done with weights, I move on to the pool.
At the pool, I swim laps for 40 minutes. This is where I get my second cardio workout. I finish off with this. My workout day usually lasts between 2.5 and 3.5 hours.
My first week, I wasn't able to go to the pool because after the weights, I felt like throwing up. Every day was like this. If you also experience this, please pull through. The second week is much easier. Then the 3rd follows and then the 4th and so on. I just completed my 6th week yesterday and I feel very energized at the end of my workouts. I no longer get the nausea from the first week.
The soreness in my muscles from weight lifting also followed the trend. The first week was the worst! Then the 2nd it was mild. By the 3rd week I wasn't feeling the soreness anymore. Now at week 6, I am able to increase the workouts I do for each muscle group. I also have noticed some definition progress on my biceps, triceps, abs and legs.
I started my fitness/weight loss journey on Halloween week at 282 lbs. I'm now at 254. That's 28 lbs with muscle growth and muscle definition. I can't imagine what week 12 holds or week 18, or week 24.
I hope this can help someone stay motivated. Don't let the lazy win over your mind. Push through and make it to the gym. Share your experience with me. I'd like to know how you are tackling your journey.
