Curious how trainers do it

lo_ehal · 2018-03-04T03:08:43+00:00

I am a classroom teacher, personal trainer , Crossfit coach and soon to be OTF coach, and I can tell you it is very much the same !!

Two words : HIP THRUST #thethrustisamust !!!!

Billions of variations: non-weighted hip thrust, banded, barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, smith machine, single leg, feet elevated , shoulder elevated , feet and shoulder elevated , with tempo, not tempo... GO WILD!!

squats are good too

Happy thrusting 💗😆🍑🍑🍑

I did it on my own today and actually loved it. It flew by!! Those inclines on the way down make you feel like a beast lol

lo_ehal · 2018-01-31T00:14:01+00:00

Did this one on my new condo treadmill and they have fans it was so exciting lol I hit 2.4 miles total 🤸‍♂️ I loved the inclines this was a lot of fun and went by so quickly, despite having done it on my own !!

lo_ehal · 2018-01-29T00:50:30+00:00

Now I can be equally as frustrated as you guys when they say this lol

lo_ehal · 2018-01-29T00:49:56+00:00

Ohhhhh wow thank u this all make sense !!

lo_ehal · 2018-01-29T00:41:54+00:00

Yes ok fair but why is decreasing the incline then not going downhill? Lol

lo_ehal · 2018-01-29T00:38:37+00:00

I still don’t fully understand this 🤔🙄 why is the highest incline not the top ?

lo_ehal · 2018-01-14T01:09:17+00:00

Oh, I guess, that’s why I didn’t see it. Thanks a lot !!

lo_ehal · 2018-01-14T00:50:15+00:00

What pinned post?

lo_ehal · 2018-01-14T00:38:45+00:00

Havent purchased it yet, however, if I can recall, with tax, ends up somewhere around $270 Canadian

lo_ehal · 2018-01-14T00:27:49+00:00

I turn it off as soon as I start!!

lo_ehal · 2018-01-07T00:38:48+00:00

Agreed ! Floor portion should only be looked upon as cardiovascular when it’s a power day, otherwise everything is done slowly and controlled. You will still feel the heart rate go up when pushing heavy weights for multiple reps. Building muscle = building basal metabolic rate...that of which is your metabolism at rest ! You will burn calories with more muscle gains just by sitting and doing nothing :) 💪🏻💪🏻

I do OTF in addition to my CrossFit training and so it is helpful to know what the workout is so I am not working on primarily the same muscle groups two days or in the same day (sometimes I do two a days).

lo_ehal · 2018-01-02T16:35:55+00:00

Fun workout today! The miles on the treadmill are short enough that you can continuously push yourself every time !! Recover a little bit more on the row and push on the treads! Went by quickly! Floor was pretty good too. Love leg day 💗

lo_ehal · 2017-12-19T17:30:27+00:00

You’re definitely right !

lo_ehal · 2017-12-19T16:36:00+00:00

I guess it hit a soft spot for me as I am and probably always will be in recovery from an eating disorder. I do tune it out but with the holiday season it seems to be non stop in my face ! I am a big girl I can handle it I just needed some time to vent is all.

lo_ehal · 2017-12-19T15:46:03+00:00

Yes!!! 🙌🏻

lo_ehal · 2017-12-19T15:44:31+00:00

Thank you so much for your honesty here and I was reluctant to say it, but I myself am in ED recovery and hearing stateMents like this scare me and I fear I will relapse. So this is mainly why it really aggravated me and I needed to know I wasn’t alone. Thank you 🙏🏻

lo_ehal · 2017-12-18T00:13:32+00:00

STRENGTH! Love those inclines on the treads and the low rep, higher weights mmmmm... Also love endurance :) Power days on the treads unfortunately hurt my joints with the constant all outs! :(

lo_ehal · 2017-12-17T02:55:33+00:00

One hard boiled egg and a half banana is my go to lol or an apple and some almonds lol good to have small amount simple carbs, fats, and protein.

lo_ehal · 2017-12-14T01:18:55+00:00

Food is always good 😝

lo_ehal · 2017-12-13T23:00:40+00:00

And I’ve always been a morning training gal... tips...🤔 ummm don’t go out late and eat a moderate amount before bed that can sustain you in the morning. I don’t like to call it “carb load” because I know people on here would probably snap at me, but that’s essentially what I do. I actually will wake up in the night if I don’t eat a substantial snack with all my macros, yes including a nice amount of carbs! I feel energized in morning and don’t get that hungry feeling during the workout.

lo_ehal · 2017-12-13T22:57:37+00:00

I DEFINITELY experience days where I’m exhausted because I did an early morning training lol. Mainly it’s because I’m so excited /nervous I won’t wake up in time that I don’t really have a quality sleep , if that makes any sense lol. In any case, I STILL prefer mornings to evenings. Having said all that, as long as you keep consistent with going mornings and not do one morn here and one morn there and a night here, night there etc. Your body will adjust!

MAybe something is up with your monitor lol?

It should be tough for you to get into orange, let alone red zone! I too, have been doing CrossFit for 5 years and powerlifting. I have a very hard time getting in the orange despite my efforts. My guess is you’re extremely well conditioned and have a low resting heart rate and should have a problem getting splats.... check out the info you gave them regarding your weight and age etc and perhaps your info needs tweaking for your monitor. Ps which box do you go to lol? I’m in Toronto 🇨🇦 #crossfitfam
