It's great to hear about how things are going!

How long have you been training for? Do you train out of your gym or do you have your own business? What about online training?

I just started watching the UFC fights and following along with some of the stuff. I love how intense and crazy the workouts are. And how dedicated the competitors are to their training!

Hey girl!!! Things are going great!! I love training clients at the gym. I would absolutely love to be able to train clients out of our own private studio. That is the ultimate goal.

I started watching UFC about a year ago when Layne and I went to UFC 77 in Cincinnati, OH. It was awesome! Those guys are crazy when it comes to working out, they are insane!!!

Monday's workout (8/10/09)

I started off with 20 mins of HIIT on the elliptical.

Then it was off to do occlusion on the leg press:
4 sets of 20/70 lbs with a minute rest in between
*That was probably the most painful set that I have done to date!! It was awesome!

Lying Leg curls
4 sets of 8/90 lbs

Seated Leg Curls
4 sets of 8/180 lbs

Inner/Outer Thighs
4 sets each of 12/130 lbs

Seated Calf Raise
4 sets of 15/100 lbs

Donkey Calf Raise
4 sets of 15/165 lbs

Then I called it a night, because I had a three hour training this morning for a class that I am going to be teaching for the park district. So I wanted to save some energy for that.

Tonight is upper body!!

20 min of HIIT, followed by occluded legs and yeah, more legs...sweeeeet workout!

I think it was you who mentioned the french toast with low cal bread/egg whites? Anyways, thank you!! I made some for the first time a few days ago...amazing!!

will-work4ANDRO · 08-12-2009, 07:32 AM

sounds like a plan Isabel...have you tried occluded cardio yet? might be something to try in the future.

Jodi_Lane · 08-12-2009, 11:09 PM

Awe, you've got the sweetest puppy ever! I'm really wanting to get a doggie soon, I think an Italian greyhound, they've always been one of my favorites--of course all puppies are my favorites hahah!

Hey girl!! Glad you liked the recipe! I was totally addicted to that as my breakfast while I was contest prepping. I love it! It's so easy to make and they are so tasty!!

Thanks Jodi!!! We are really excited!! I get to pick her up today! They are the sweetest! They take a ton of work but they are worth it. I love coming home and having Seffi right there jumping up & down all excited and happy to see you. Layne does that too from time to time! LOL!!

Week's recap!

So this week has been crazy busy! I started training to teach two group fitness classes in the fall for the Champaign-Park District. I will be teaching Cardio Mix and Bigger, Faster, Stronger (after school program for teens who want to learn about strength training). So I am really excited but it's been really time consuming. That plus training my regular clients and I picked up two new clients as well. So my gym time has been suffering a bit. But I figure once I get into a routine it will all go back to normal. So right now I am trying to watch my diet and walking Seffi as much as I can when I don't get to lift weights.

Some highlights from this past week's workouts: Strength is increasing, lifts that we tasking or difficult for me are getting easier. I was able to press the 37.5 DBs for 5 reps on shoulder presses. That was huge for me! Normally 35lbs is where I stopped but this time I was able to press the 35 lbs for 8 reps. So I figured it was time to bump it up. I'm glad I did!! Overall I am feeling great! I am weighing 128 lbs. So I think I will do a two week cut coming up soon. I really want to stay within the 125-126 lb range. I feel really comfortable there.

I am off to go to KY to pick up Lulu today!!!

Have a great weekend!!

all out eating fest...i like the way that sounds...congrats on moving up in weight...i'm looking forward to breaking some PR's myself here soon...that Bigger faster stronger program seems pretty cool...is it going to be a circuit type program? you are like the freaking super trainer...great work Isabel.....tell Layne, if he needs somebody to hit him in future competitions...i've been practicing,

JENerator · 08-20-2009, 03:20 AM

Sweet DB presses! Congrats!

Great to hear everything is going so well for you, busy & a lil crazy maybe, but quite well!

...patiently taps foot waiting for more pics of new puppy...

aloha_izzie · 08-22-2009, 10:45 AM

Ok so I have been really MIA lately!! Well first of all having a new pup is a hand full!! We had forgotten what it was like! LOL! She is adorable and doing really well. Her potty training is going really well. She is using her puppy pads and she has been letting us know when she wants to go outside.

Workouts have been sort of random this week. I have been training to teach group fitness classes starting next week for the local park district and it's been intense. I have attended classes from Pilates/Yoga (which I loved), boot camp and cardio mix. I was trying to meet the other instructors and also see how they teach their classes. I will be teaching Bigger, Faster, Stronger and Cardio Mix. So I am really excited and nervous at the same time.

Some highlights of my workouts this past week: I broke through on Shoulder DB presses and pushed 40 lbs for two sets of 5. Using the seated (plate loaded) row & using one arm at a time I managed to pull 135 lbs for 2 sets of 6 reps. That was awesome I had guys come up to me and tell me they had never seen a girl pull three 45 lbs plates on side.

So that was pretty sweet. For legs I have been doing a ton of plyos and compound movements. So they are pretty flipping sore today!! LOL!!!

So now here are some pictures of our Lulu!!

LayzieBone085 · 08-22-2009, 12:34 PM

Hey izzy, make sure you got a wooden spoon on hand if Layne is busting ass

JENerator · 08-23-2009, 12:16 PM

Awwww!!! Super cute puppy pics! Looks like they're getting along really well, too!

Nice workout highlights! Major row weight!! Geez! Always cool when you have the boys taking notice of the weight you're movin'!

dogg74 · 08-24-2009, 11:10 AM

Ahhhh Izzy..Those are some beautiful pics of your Furry Hairy Pets. Absolutely awesome. They also look and resemble so much alike..it's like they are twins. I esp love the 2nd pic. I am a bit confused though...only thing is.... Which 1 is LULU?

Aaaaaand on the Video, You actually should be grateful..I mean ...with the Ripping of A$$..just think of it this way...Who needs to go buy D-Con or Raid Max when You can have Laynie Pooh Pooh dispersing Natural Gases in the Air for free.
