Got It: Resistant Loop Band

I got the resistant loop band this past Wednesday. I gave it a try Thursday morning. I must admit it does help with assisting me in doing dips. I haven't tried the pull ups or the chin ups at this moment. I have to go to Lowe's to get a few screws that I have been pending for the chin up bar. I have one that goes in between the door. I got that one because I know it can hold me better and well I know I won't be taking it off. I rather have something solid and stable. Later on I will be getting the resistant bands. There are various kinds of resistant band names out there. Of course the prices varies on them because some have more equipment then the other and / or has videos teaching you what workouts (exercises) you can do with the resistant bands. I must admit I like the resistant loop band it does assist me a lot. The resistant that I got is 50 lbs. I was going to get the one for 75 lbs. Then again I prefer to get the 50 lbs. Truth is you have to start with a higher resistant then lower it down. I didn't want to do that because it costs a bit more. I only wanted one which I got. I am very happy about it because I know it will help me until I no longer need the resistant loop band to assist me. 

I'm Resting...

Due to the illness I have which is the flu. I am resting my body, which I haven't worked out nor done any body weight exercises. I am resting, hoping to get better soon.

In Searh: Resistant Loop Band

It's been awhile already that I have been in search of a resistant loop band. I've found quite a few of them but they are pricey. I've read a lot of good reviews on them. Except truth is I don't have enough money to spend on the ones that are pricey. I found one at this one website, saw the various kinds that they had. I read a few reviews back and forth of a few loop resistant bands; either called a jump stretch flexband. They have various difference of resistant, that is why the prices varies on them.This is the Resistant Loop Band that I purchased yesterday. I will be getting it in the mail before the 29th of this month. Once I get it, I will be starting on doing my work outs which consist me of doing pull ups, chin ups, and dips. Once I get back in to my Calisthenics work out's I will be starting off with push ups. (At this moment I'm relaxing and letting the body rest, due to the fact I came down with a cold, which I dislike. Hopefully I get better soon to start working out.) 

I Still Work Out: Busy...

It's been awhile since I have posted anything on my blog due to the fact of me working two jobs. Yes, I was working at two jobs. Now I am currently working in one for the temporary time since there are still not of lot of jobs going on and if there is it's only for a temporary time that they are in need of workers. 

Ever since I've been getting temporary jobs I tend to work two jobs. One tends to be a day shift then the other a night shift. The night shift varies from time to time though. When I was working two jobs in all honesty I couldn't work out because my time at work consisted me to stand up for up to 10 hours. The hours always varied on a daily basis. When I had two jobs I still made an effort to workout (exercise) for 30 minutes. I would from time to time but not every day like I would like too. Now that I have one job I barely got back on to my workouts (exercises). This past weekend I started of working out by doing 30 minutes of cardio walking on the treadmill. I've been doing this since this past Saturday which was on 17th. Then of course I weighted myself and I am still 183 lbs / 83 kg. Of course these past few months I thought it was a weight plateau but then again it's not a weight plateau that I hit. Actually never realized this till a few days ago that it was my calorie intake that I had to change it because I no longer was over 203 lbs / 92 kg. My calorie intake had to definitely change. Never came to mind that I had to change it once I started to lose even more weight. Now that I calculated my calorie intake is 1464 and to maintain my weight 2000 calories. These past few months my calorie intake that I was consuming was 2000. Didn't know I had to change it up till a few days ago. Good thing I realize that. Then again I am a bit mad because all this time that I worked my butt off it did help me of course then again I was maintaining my weight which I dislike it. By this time around I could of lost the 50 lbs / 23 kg that I am still pending to lose it.

This time around I'm not going to worry or work on losing the weight. Instead I am going to focus on building muscle while I shed the fat.

Since, the holidays are here and things will be on sale. I was debating on purchasing a bench press. I was on that back and forth. Till I realize I rather get me a loop resistant band to help me assist with my dips and chin ups. Then get me a resistant band kit that can connect to the door. Then of course an ab roller wheel. Lets see if I can get to purchase all of these things on the holidays. I really do want to get started. Lately, all I do is 30 minutes of cardio walking on the treadmill and / or either 30 minutes of kickboxing. I do it every day after work. Hopefully this time around since I have gotten my intake of calories. Also I have found a bodybuilder to help me out with a meal plan. That is all I need help with. The rest I can do but I really need a really good meal plan a strict one to help me get shredded while I work out. Of course means take more protein, watch out for the fats and the carbohydrates. I will start with a meal plan before or either on the 30th of this month to get it going. Then try it out for the beginning of December. Lets see how my journey goes... Woohoo!!! 

It's been a while...

Sorry for the delay on not posting my continuations of my workouts and nutrition. My time at the moment consists me of being a full time employee temporarily and I have a few pending projects that I have started and yet need to finish. I am still working out (exercising). This time around even though I am very busy I will definitely make time to continue my posts.
