BBM day 2 plus abs Question for others: the BBM person says do abs 3 times a week. Is there a harm in doing it daily? I need the most strength help in my core so I would like to but didn’t know if there was a reason for only three days. I don't BBM, but I'm sure you'd be fine. Most fitness people say to rest muscles a day in between work outs, just so they can recover and heal properly. I don't follow that rule, I work what I feel like working...if I'm sore, I stay away from exercises that work those muscles until they feel ready again. |

wedding You can do ab work everyday since it’s not like other muscle groups where you want them to get bigger.

I’m on week 5 of liift4. I’m really liking it and am constantly upping my weights. Still haven’t lost a pound (which obviously isn’t a concern anymore) but i know I’m stronger.
I’ve still been eating pretty healthy since New Years and haven’t had any cravings or aversions yet, so hoping to keep a healthy diet going and not gain quite as much as I gained with my first 2.

I've lost 11 pounds in less than a week with my flu diet. I normally exercise even when I'm sick but I've felt too much like death to do so. I need to start slow back into it because I feel like a weakling.

I took Tuesday through Thursday off for my head cold so I have some making up to do. I did days 9 & 10 of BBM today and will do 11 & 12 tomorrow. I stupidly weighed myself Wednesday after eating out all weekend and I was up 2#, which is 4# since November. It's really messing with me but I also know a lot is bloat. Instead of weighing and measuring on Day 15 I am going to wait another week to try and flush all this out.

I'm scheduling myself for a bunch of swim events through the year. This should keep me motivated. I hurt my knee/ calf a few weeks ago and I haven't been pushing as hard as I'd like. I'm also suffering from boob chafing so that's fun.

I bought a bosu yesterday. I’m hoping to use it before bed with weights and/or resistance bands.
