Today I switched my workout routine to kettle bells. I LOVE using kettle bells because they are so dynamic and fun! Jillian Michaels has a great video on Amazon for kettle bell HIIT training. I am going to use this video and her intense yoga training for now. I do kettle bell HIIT on Mon, Wed, Fri, and I run on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I do the yoga on Thursdays and take Sunday off. Her videos are only 30 minutes, and I run 2 miles. It seems like a lot, but honestly, it is so much less strain on my body than BodyBoss or only lifting. I don’t want to overtrain. Once I get my strength and tone back with this routine, I will switch back to lifting for building and BodyBoss for maintaining. I feel good about this plan. I think it’s so important for me to actually enjoy what I’m doing rather than just “sticking it out.” I get bored soooo easily.
I am still at 118 lbs, and I haven’t touched any wine this week! Go me! I haven’t cheated on my calories or clean eating either. 😊👊🏻💪🏻🙆🏼♀️💛

The Whey drink looks good: Do you use two scoops of the powder? Because with a banana, a cup of almond milk and a tablespoon of chia seeds is about 350 calories.

Just one scoop, half a frozen banana and I drink about 3/4 of it because I get full. But yeah, I use it to meet my caloric intake. I guess it is a lot for one drink, but it’s good calories. :))

Hi @Rachel --- strain and injury in weightlifting, or really, any exercise regime, is a big problem, and one to be seriously considered. A lot of times it's because there is too little time given to rest and recovery. I think it was Arthur Jones (creator of Nautilus) who first advocated much more rest than other exercise and body building gurus. This was probably 30 years ago or more. Doug McGuff, MD, recommends as much as one week of recovery after a weight lifting session of only 15 minutes or so. But, you have to drive the muscle to a deep fatigue for this to make sense. I have benefited from his book, Body by Science. You might enjoy it. All the best.
