Week 8! You're almost there, although I hate to tell you this--just because the program is 12 weeks doesn't mean you get to stop exercising at the end. What? Don't look so surprised! This week will look a lot like last week. As you know, it's a good idea to keep doing the same workouts for a few weeks so you can build strength and endurance. The difference is that you'll be tweaking your program a bit. As always...modify, modify, modify!
 
 
12 Weeks to Weight Loss - Week 8
  Week 8
In the strength training workouts, you'll be adding reps to each exercise in order to keep progressing and challenging yourself. I haven't changed the cardio workouts but, again, you should feel free to change them yourself--make them harder, try new activities or get yourself some videos. The nutritional information will focus on interesting websites, articles and recipes, so be sure to check them out so you'll be ready for them. As always, this is your program, so make it work for you. Visit the link above for details and to start with your weekly check-in.

Day 50
  Focus: Total Body Strength
You're doing the same workout as last week, still doing at least 2 sets of each exercise with 30-60 seconds of rest in between. The difference is that you'll add 2 reps per exercise, using enough weight that you can ONLY complete 14 reps. You'll also get some great info at one of my favorite websites about nutrition and your motivation is a site that will make you laugh.
 
Day 51
  Focus: Interval Training
Today you're doing your interval workout and you even get to take a nutritional quiz. Maybe you're not like me and you hate quizzes. If so, you can skip it--I'll never know. I've also given you another funny website to visit to make you laugh. Laughing makes everything better, doesn't it?
 
Day 52
  Focus: Upper Body
Today, you're back to your upper body routine and the core workout you tried last week. You'll learn about eating healthy without going broke and visit one of my favorite funny websites.
 
Day 53
  Focus: Endurance
It's time for your cardio endurance workout--either one that I've assigned or your own workout. You'll also do your optional mat workout and learn more about how to set small goals to eat healthier each day. For motivation, I've sent you to a useless website with a really silly game you can play. Did I mention I need to get a life?
 
Day 54
  Focus: Lower Body
You're back to your lower body workout with an added challenge of 2 reps per exercise. I'm sure you can't wait! I've also given you a recipe to try--if you don't like Thai food or tofu, I do apologize and I hope you can find something else to try. I've also given you a couple of funny websites to visit to continue our theme of laughter as motivation. Cheers!
 
Day 55
  Focus: Variety
Today is your day--do your own workout or one of the workouts I've assigned. It's all about doing something different and having a little fun. Your recipe today is a yummy berry-yogurt-cheese-type thing that is healthy and yummy and your motivational site is...well, I'll just let you see for yourself.
