David's make over week 9

Now that Davis is getting closer to his ideal body weight is getting harder and harder to lose weight.  Last week he didn't lose any weight, he still weigh 197 lb, from now on if he wants to lose more weight he has to cut back on food or pump up the intensity of the workouts.
This week he is doing a high intensity interval training with kettle bells and body weight. Only 3 exercises -beside the 2 core exercise and the warm up- but 6 set and between 10-20 repetitions.
We  started with the regular foam rolling and warm up, back lying torso twist and modified leg raise, the we did the core exercises, standing cable front press and side plank with cable row, and the we did 6 sets from the following 3  exercises: double arm swings with deep squats and over head press, push ups and side plank with cable row. He started with 10 reps from each exercises then did 12,14,16,18 and 20.
The benefits of doing high intensity interval workouts with weights is that beside building muscle you get a good cardio workout, too. If you only take short ( 1-2 min) brakes between exercises, its good for your muscles and heart, too and burns a ton of energy and leaves you with the feeling of a good, intense workout.
 Right after the work out David has a vegan protein shake for dinner, to help his body to build muscle.

Csilla's make over week 6

Last week was a great success, 2 lb down. Beside the workout that we did together she did 2 more interval training for 30 min  by herself and played table tennis twice for over 1 hour with her son.
She is still not having breakfast every day, only couple of days weekly but started to ad more fresh fruits to her diet, pineapples turns out to be a good diuretic to her and one of her favorite.
This week we did more compound exercises, like swings with squats and over head press and lunges with rows to use more muscle in one move and burn more calories. We also did all of the exercises standing up and more jumping like jumping jacks and ice skaters to make her hear rate higher.
This weeks interval training is going to be more intense as well.

For warm up we did lunge with trunk twist.

David's make over week 8

Last week we only trained once and David went to swim once, the scale didn't moved this week, so he is still 197 lb. The ups and downs of loosing weight is that one week you lose big and the other week you don't lose anything, but this is perfectly fine and normal, no need to worry about it just keep up with the diet and exercise routine.
This week we are going to do mostly sg arm and leg exercises. Doing sg leg and arm exercises improves balance, strengthens the core, uses the stabilizing muscles and burns more energy overall.
As usually we started with the foam rolling and then for warm up did the side lying torso twist and the modified leg raise 2X 12 of each. This week for core we did high and low planks and inverted bridge on the ball.

Core:

High and low planks 2X12

Inverted bridge on the ball 2X12

Csilla's make over week 5

Csilla's fourth week was a great success, the scale is not moving but we measured her waist when we started four week ago and we measured yesterday and she has lost 4,5 inch ( 11,5 cm) in four weeks which is really good. She feels a lot better and getting stronger, probably that is why we don't see the scale move, and fitter, her interval training is more and more intense every week.   This week she did the jumping jacks with a 9 lb bar, her boxing is getting a lot faster and more intense.

David's make over week 6

This week the scale didn't moved for David either, he is 202 lb, 17 lb down in 5 weeks.
Human body takes 4 to 6 week to adopt, weight lose is the biggest in the first 4 week, muscle gain is the easiest in the first 4 week because neural adaptation. David is almost 20 lb less then when he started so his body needs less energy( food) to function or burn more energy during exercise. Because of his back pain I can't really pus him to his limits, we have to be very careful with his lower back, he is limited in certain movements and he does't have full range of motion in his hip. If the hip is limited the lower back takes over and that can cause  lower back problems if the person is not strong enough to handle the stress.
To take up the notch on his training without hurting his back he is going to do swimming one day a week for about 30-40 min.
His diet is the same, no sugar, salt, flour or any kind of processed food. 3 meals a day consisting of lean protein, healthy fats and good carbs, nuts and fruits for snacks if hungry between meals.

This weeks exercises are much like last weeks with small changes.

For warm up we did a modified sg leg raise 

Core

Plank with shoulder tap 2x 20

Ball roll outs  2x12

Csilla's make over week 4

This week the scale didn't moved, Csilla's body is still holding back water, her ankle got swollen because of water. We had to cut back on the salt even more and include more natural diuretic food into her diet like, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley and lots of water.
For this weeks exercises we did more dynamic exercises like sg arm chest press with torso twist and sg arm rows with torso twist and took the notch up on boxing, too.
Because the regular exercise, Csilla is getting fitter and fitter, so we modified the interval training, too. Now she is able to run  10 min on 6 ( 6 mile/hour), so for this weeks interval training she is going to do 1 min on 7 and 2 min recovery on 3 x5
