Lindsay76 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 It's been a while since I've posted ... I went strict vegan/whole foods in July 07 ... best thing I ever did!I then transitioned to a full 6 day a week ashtanga practice in August 07 ... I lost about 15 pounds of muscle and body fat ... only doing yoga...But, in the last few months ... I've noticed my metabolism has really slowed down without the muscle and even though I'm smaller ... I'm not as solid ... I look "softer ..." I also have suffered three major injuries ... sciatica (which is healed thanks to a talented chiropractor), both shoulders impinged (right is still limited with strength and ROM), and I tore my left meniscus (which will be diagnosed with an MRI in the next couple weeks - treatment is ???)So...this morning ... I went to the gym.I plan on going three days a week - T, TH, Sat - full body, light weight, high reps to get back into it and ashtanga M,W, F with Sunday off.I'm also going to reevaluate my nutrition ... I think portions have gotten a bit out of control since the holidays!! 02.09.0730 min strength circuit (3 sets)Bench (bar only) 20 repsSquat (bar only) 20 repsLat pull down (40lbs) 20 reps)Seated ham curl (50 lbs) 20 repsMachine shoulder press (10lbs) 20 repsLeg extension (20 lbs) 15 repsBicep Curl (20 lb ez bar) 20 repsAbs (20 - 30 rep)Tri Push down (25 - 30 lbs) 20 repsBack Ext 15 reps 20 min elliptical Stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
