Notes: Last day of FB Body Building, today’s exercises focused on chest, arms and stomach. Feeling my muscles respond to the exercise combination, it’s a good kinda sore feeling.

Workout Time: 45 mins

Bodybuilding 3-Day , Workout 3
Bench Press/ Dips / Military Press / Lateral Raise / Cable Pushdown / Sit Up | Bodyweight / Negative Crunch

Exercise of the Day: Negative Crunch; ab exercise. The Negative Crunch focuses on the downward motion of the crunch, it is  a great exercise to shock your stomach muscle in a new way.

Summary of FitnessBuilder 3-Day Bodybuilding routine: I felt that the routine did a really good job of focusing on all the muscle groups and hitting them from different angles. Solid combination’s that will leave you sore and feeling worked out.  Next week more core exercises and FB 10 of the hardest routines.

Two hard things for me to avoid are sugar and sodium, I am trying. Dried fruit is a sneaky little sugar carrier. You figure hey it’s fruit, it’s dried and it’s good for you. Dried fruit contains a lot of sugar as you can tell from the “Just Mango Slices” I picked up from Trader Joe’s. I also went through the trouble of getting the unsulfered and unsweetened which is more expensive. I guess if it doesn’t say sugar free than it still has sugar in it. Not so unsweet for me. Arrgh!!!

Notes: Today’s FB bodybuilding routine focused on the legs. Oh how I hate working out my legs. It is important to note that you should work all your muscle groups evenly.

Workout Time: 43 min 06 sec

Bodybuilding 3-Day , Workout 2
Back Squat / Leg Press / Reverse Lunge / Stiff Leg Deadlift  / Leg Extension / Calf Raise

Exercise of the Day: Calf Raise; leg exercise that focuses on your calf.  I’ve done all types of calf raise but I like the FB approach because of the isolation it places on the muscle.

Instead of reinventing the wheel and due to time constraints .  I decided to just to copy and paste my LiveStrong daily food log here.

It looks like I actually burn more calories than I put in. Sodium still high, it is truly hard to stay away from salt.
