Volume Training

Image
This past weekend my Buffy @grraceface put me through squats volume training. That was on Saturday, today is Monday evening and my legs are still sorely sore. With 75 lbs I did 10 set of 10 reps, with 90 seconds of rest between each set. 10x10 = 100 squats! Usually with squats you're supposed to do the hip thrust once you're up, but with the volume training she told me to go deep down into the squats and just come back up then squat.. til yo set is done. I noticed the first 4 sets were ok/do-able but once I got to sets 5-7 I was faltering. I think the 8th set was the hardest for me, but I told myself just 2 more sets and 9th and 10th were done with more ease. Interesting how our bodies and minds tie in mentally and physically so well. Ok so this is my song of the day for Monday! Britney Spears - Work B**ch! You want a hot body? You want a Bugatti?                                     ...

100 posts already?

I guess I shall address my goal of trying to grow a booty for my 100th post! My hips are quite narrow and although I believe my butt is perky, it just doesn't have a lot of mass to it. Therefore my body is kind of straight and actually closer to being an inverted triangle because I am also blessed with being slightly top-heavy... o:) Furthermore, I used to swim as a child and was on the swim team in high school so needless to say, my shoulders used to be very broad. I never thought I could naturally make a drastic change to my butt (like how people can't enlarge their chests without plastic surgery?..). I mean I knew you can make your butt perkier and have a nicer shape, but did not realize that you can make it buffer and in turn become bigger. So now I understand, squats can help you grow your booty and pushups can make your boobs perkier and also make them a little bigger. GOOD NEWS RIGHT? This picture best shows you that there are three muscles that compose our butt...

Weekends keep me alive

I can't believe how quickly time passes by. It's so weird because everyday that passes by, I'm doing generally routine regimens; I can understand how people who do the same boring old lifestyle can fall into the pattern and not realize how quickly life passed them by. It's a sobering thought.. Luckily it's the summer and my friends help me not drift away and get lost into my own la-la, introvert cave. I'm really grateful that my friends constantly try to catch up with me even if it's just over a little bit of food and slightly intoxicated conversations, or just making new memories and dancing the night away celebrating and enjoying our youths and friendships. I'm also glad that people think I'm entertaining and have new friends to eat lunch with everyday. I mean I honestly do not mind eating lunch by myself but socializing and hearing stories about other people's youths, goals, and families is nice. It's funny how you have one perception abo...

What motivates you to go workout? The past month of May was not a very successful one for me in regards to health and fitness >< (I basically pigged out a lot, and then seeing myself 'let go' and just not having the strength and will power to push myself to workout) and I am feeling the retribution of my gorging and inactiveness 0:) I will probably show a picture of the effects later after I work on my "after picture." Too embarrassed right now heh So I pledge myself to workout everyday this month, because I'm going to be a boss: butt, ass, glutes, workout, gym, exercise, cardio, weights, toned, june, goals, motivation, lose weight, fitness, fit,  Sunday, June 2 BUTT & LEGS Front lunge on bosu with dumbbells 3x12 each leg Bulgarian split squat 3x8 each leg dumbbell hip abduction 3x20 each leg hip thrusters with weights 3x20 donkey kicks 3x15 each leg fire hydrants 3x10 and then I cycled for an hour while reading magazines.... my mac...

Finally getting over my sickness

And I could not wait to get back to the gym. I have gotten fluffier and I think the last time I set foot in a gym was 2-3 weeks ago, while still eating to my heart's content. So once I got to the gym today, I turned on the EDM music and hit it hard! It's already May and summer is not just right on the corner but running towards me. (eh..I'm too lazy to fix that bad boxing... hahah oops) The jump for joy plyo workout is here  http://aestheticdianasaurus.blogspot.com/2013/04/30-minute-workout-routine-that-can-burn.html  it supposedly burns 500 calories.
