Hello, I am also doing the 3 day a week strength program, but I have also coupled it with the 3 day a week full-body program. I will be starting week 3 tomorrow (monday) and for the most part, it's gone well. One problem, though, is I have a twinge in my lower back and off to the right; this tends to go down my right glute. I am pretty sure it is from the squats. I don't always feel it, just when I bend or straighten up and it is not debilitating. Just to be on the safe side, though, I am going to skip the squats and the dead lifts next week. Also, I also walk for about 20 minutes following my workout. I also try to keep a pretty clean diet during the week. I do tend to go a little crazy with my eating on the weekends, and I am going to clean that up a little bit. I realize that If I try to eat as strict as I do Monday through Friday, I would go out of my mind with boredom. On a side note, I checked my blood pressure today: 117/77. Not bad considering my Dr. wanted to put me on hypertension medication (which I refused) a couple of years ago, before I started seriously working out and changing my diet. Anywho, this is my first BLOG entry. 07/08/07 |
