Personal Training Day 2

Day 2:

We talked 

Personal Training Day 1

As soon as I entered, he made me warmup on threadmill ran continuously on 4.3 speed for 0.5 mile which took me around 7mins. I got off and went up to him asked him should we do nutrition today because I wanna know what to eat before we start workouts.

We talked about Nutrition today so i can prep up my meals for entire next week and get started before we start training. My day eating plan should consists of 5 meals eating every 3-4 hours with 3 main meals and 2 snacks.

I need to keep in my mind always CPF everytime i eat my meal.
CARBS (15), PROTEIN (25) AND FAT (10) - breakdown of grams in every meal i can go up 5 and down 5.

Here is the sample meal i can have:












based on these, i prepare my own meal planner in spread sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15ari8qVa-ZsvPUpFTJwgPerR7-tyZRQj06pPdVOJGm0/edit#gid=0

Personal Training Day 0

I was fed up of not losing weight myself except 3-4 lbs so i decided to take affordable personal training from Fitness19. My Trainer was Lewis Lagmay (https://www.facebook.com/lewis.brown.12935) who is very energetic and super fit than I could ever imagine me to be.

I took up 1 hour training sessions with him for 36 sessions which cost me around 1000$ for 27 sessions + 9 free. He made an assessment of my body fat percentage to know the math and stuff.

My Body Fat:


and then he made do Squats, Lunges, Reverse lunges and then coming back up where i got only 0.5 mark and for Push ups, Planks i got 0.25 mark out of 1. I felt very weak in my knees I could not finish my reverse lunges on second leg.

Adding Challenges to my Daily Routine


Challenge 1: 30-day Squat Challenge

I started to add challenges to strengthen my Quads, Hamstrings, and Glutes as these are really important to become a runner. I had faced ITB runner's knee/heel issues after I did my SF 1st half marathon in July. Hoping to strengthen myself before i run my 2nd half marathon San Jose Rock n Roll this year Oct. Just making myself a BETTER ME....

Came across this awesome challenge from Pop-Sugar, it is not super boring simple squats. It adds lot of different variations to regular Squats that's the main reason i liked this exercise so much.
Doing a Squat exercises your Glutes; gives a nice shape to your butt.

Day1 update: My heart was pumping so fast i could feel sweat after doing this.
Will update this post again after my Day 30. I am super excited Yay!!!
