Gluteus to the Maximus – My “New” Plan…

June 9th, 2008
· by Angie Tousignant · Filed Under: Fat Loss Workouts

Hi everyone! After listening to Nick Nilsson’s call on Friday night, I’ve decided to challenge myself even more to a firmer butt and toned thighs! Today was my first day following the 20 minute advanced home workout from Nick’s Gluteus to the Maximus program. Wow, it was VERY intense. An awesome workout! I’ve decided to do the 20 min. advanced program instead of the 10 min. because I want FASTER RESULTS!

I am also going to implement the “Daily Glute Specialization Advanced” program. This takes up very little time and is something that I would do on a daily basis. It is done first thing in the morning and just before bed. I am following a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule with weight training so this will give me a bit of resistance to do on Tuesday and Thursday. I am incorporating Nick’s program into the Fit Chic program that I have been following for the past year. It is working out very well I do the 10 min. Express Workouts from the Fit Chic. Therefore, I am only doing weight training 3X/week and it takes about a total of 30-35 minutes. Not too bad…

For those of you who did not participate in the call, Nick highly recommended to do interval type training either rollerblading and/or bike riding. This type of cardio will isolate your glute and thigh muscles as compared to other forms of cardio. I have been intervaling in 30 second segments. I will bike as fast as I can for 30 sec. and then take it nice and easy for 30 seconds. Follow again with fast and then slow. Interval like this for 20 minutes.

I will eat CLEAN today and tomorrow. On Wednesday I will have my ‘cheat meal’ of pizza and likely ice cream! It’s so hot, humid, and disgusting here! Too humid for me…ice cream will be the perfect treat…I’ll need to eat it fast though or it’ll be dripping all over!

What program are you following and how are you enjoying it? Remember to really STRETCH afterwards…this will enable your muscle to GROW.

Cheers to health,

Angie

I want faster results, too! I wasn’t sure if it was ok to add in the daily program along with doing one of his other plans in the book. I think I will add this in as well. I haven’t really settled down into one program. I have been bouncing around with the different workouts. The diet part is what I struggle with the most. Eventhough I have lost quite a bit of weight, I still struggle in this area and really want to get it under more control. I am sure logging down what you eat is a major key in getting this under control…I just hate it, is all. lol
Another stone in the mix is that we are in the middle of a move to another house. So that is a major bump in the road..As I said in my blog tonight…life dosen’t stop for us to get fit…we have to fit getting fit into life!

So true Suzette…make it a priority, right? Yes, I’ve added in the ‘daily glute specialization’ program into the 20 min. advanced home workout. I also do my 10 min. fit chic workout with it. So altogether it takes me about 35 minutes on EACH of the 3 days that I do it.

I do my cardio separately…keeping a journal for your eating is a HUGE success! You will SEE what you have eaten, you will be more accountable, you will be on a set schedule and you will see when you have scheduled in a CHEAT MEAL. Having this ‘cheat meal’ will help you to stay on track with eating really clean for a couple of days and then rewarding yourself.

Have a great day!
