BodiWorxx Biggest Loser Challenge Day 1

September 09, 2013 was Bodiworxx first official launch of the Biggest Loser Challenge. If you haven't had a chance, check out my YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/bodiworxx and check out the video about the challenge.

As I have posted on my YouTube channel, that I will post daily on how my challenge is going and keep you updated on my progress.

Day one workout, which was Monday, is upper body. I am doing 2 weeks of one set, weeks 3&4 is 2 sets and weeks 5&6 is 3 sets. You are lifting as much weights as you can but still able to do 8-12 reps. For the second set, you are increasing weights but only where you can lift for 6 sets and so on. I will post more about that program later. 

Here is the workout for upper-body:

Bench press

Cable Rows

Shoulder press

Triceps push-down

Barbell curl

I am also following a walk/run program:

This week consist of walking 4 mins and running for 1, repeating a total of 5 times. Cardio is 30 mins.

Tip of the day: Do not, I repeat DO NOT skip out on breakfast. Not only is this to get your body out of starvation mode but it stabilizes your sugar level. If I don't eat breakfast, by 10:00 am I am exhausted. So make sure you are eating within an hour of getting up.

Here is the video of Day 1 Challenge:

I challenge all of you to join me for the next 16 weeks and see how healthy we can get. Follow me on my blog, on www.facebook.com/bodiworxxteenfitness  and www.twitter.com/bodiworxx..

I am currently at 174 and my goal is to lose 32 lbs in 16 weeks. Can I do it? Stay tuned to find out.

As promised here is a daily healthy recipe:
