Oh it's on again!

Stay tuned for another 5 week get lean session! We're going to be hitting the weights, doing cardio eating more salmon and limiting the sugar intake.

If you'd like to take the same challenge then keeping watching here and forget the 10 minute trainer or P90x!

ECA stack

Have you ever tried doing the ECA stack? ECA stands for Ephedrine, Caffeine and Asprin.

The main idea is that when all three items are taken at the same time then they provide a synergetic affect that allows you to burn more calories and therefore increase your chances of burning more fat.

Wikipedia has a good definition.

2-3 times a day you would take about 20mg of Ephedrine; 200mg of caffeine and about 81mg of asprin (baby asprin).

This is the cheaper alternative than buying an off the shelf product like Hydroxycut which no longer has ephedrine.

Forget the P90X for now

Well it's on! I followed my normal Day 1 routine on Monday (Chest/Back/Abs) and I'll be moving to my Day 2 routine (Legs/Calves/Abs) on Wednesday!

I just have to pick up some whey protein powder in order to ensure that I get enough protein supplements for my diet.

P90x workout

I'm thinking about doing the P90x workout for 90days. It gets away from my 5 week plan, but perhaps a change will be good.

I've been on vacation for the last 3 weeks and I'm BBQ'ed out. I'll keep you posted next week if I go ahead with the change in plans in order to incorporate the p90x workout or if I stick with my 5 week plan.

Summer vacation

I hope that you are taking time off for yourself and actually enjoying the summer. We will be starting the program all over near the end of August. If you plan on thoroughly enjoying the summer and need to turn that 12 pack back into a 6 pack then be sure to follow us once again as we venture toward the land of fitness and lifestyle balance.

So how did you do?

So how was your 5 week program? Did you manage to stay with the workouts and maintain focus on the goal. I'll admit that there were days that I skipped due to work priorities, family committments, and even the occassional sick day.

I find it much easier to stick to a shortened goal and see gradual progress. I'm going to start this all over again this weekend.

I still don't have the chiseled abs, but I'm able to comfortably tuck in a dress shirt into a pair of dress pants...while losing about one notch on my belt.

If you'd like to share some of your experiences while doing the program then please send me an email to: businessintelligencecentre@gmail.com and I'll post your feedback.

Stay tuned for round two!

Wed April 16

I ended up working out in the afternoon and had a great shoulders/traps/arms workout. I still need to focus more on my cardio. It's taking me 45-50 minutes to do the weight workout, so I'll either need to do the cardio at a seperate time or I'll need to bring a workout snack. This will give me a boost of energy after doing the weights.
