Going Strong

Wednesday and we are going strong. My fourth AFD already, with Sunday being a AFD and launching pad into this week. I am writing this blog note between my 30 second breathers between my resistance exercises using Bodysculpt bands. For those familiar with the Bodysculpt bands, I am currently on resistance level Black/Yellow/Red which is the equivalent of 19kgs. The sessions are called EPOC sessions. EPOS stands for Excess pos-exercise oxygen consumption. Basically this means that additional oxygen resources are called for after the exercise is finished to return your body to a resting state. To get the best out of EPOC sessions, I use resistance bands with high repitions (20-30 reps x 3) with 30 second breaks in between. I use five exercises over the major movement planes.

Doing this three times a week, ensures that I continue to burn fat and build lean muscle. Building lean muscle fuels your resting metabolic rate. Lean muscle is good. Being disciplined when you can, sticking with your four (at least) AFD's and combining with additional activity (walking) and increasing your lean muscle through exercise, provides you with every chance of still allowing yourself the chance to lose weight and still drink beer.

This week I completed an EPOC session on Sunday night, have completed my two 35 minutes a day, done two Tower 200 sessions focusing on arms and back (seriously each session takes 10 minutes guys) and my nutrition has been spot on with high protein and very low carb.

A simple regime really, that allows me to be slim and fit, while still playing up like a cheap watch when needed.
