Due to numerous requests I am posting our first 30 days workout schedule of the challenge we completed. It is in Excel format with the exercises filled in. For Abs we used an old torso track I had purchased years ago but any ab work will do.
I like the torso track since I can change the resistance. It is just a personal preference. I don't think they sell these anymore but you might be able to find one on ebay.
Here is the link to the Excel file.
First 30 Days
Why Just the First 30 Days? After 30 days we changed things up a little bit. It was mostly personal preference on exercises. Just small change like what exercise we used to work our Lats, or changing an exercise from the BowFlex to dumbbells. This is what we needed to either shock our bodies or to keep from being bored with the same old thing.
You can keep the workout the same throughout your challenge or wait until your getting bored doing the same exercise. Just remember that IF you do change things that week will not be as intense until you get your weight AND form dialed in.
Don’t forget it's not the amount of weight your lifting, but proper form and breathing that really counts. What you think is a ten could just be an eight with really bad form. Take your time and do it right.
If you would like to see the exercises we changed please let me know.

Thanks to everyone for all the questions about the nutritional supplements and workout plans. I hope the advice has helped. I am always floored when I get feedback from people about Life Force International products from PillFreeVitamins. It’s like people stumbled on to gold and want to tell you how much it has made a difference. It never gets old so keep them coming. They are running a special right now so you should check them out as soon as you get a chance.
OK Here we go again. Sorry I did not Blog our last challenge but I forgot about it until we were 1/2 way through.
Here is a quick update.
Jen and I both lost weight and gained muscle. Jen lost 45lbs and I lost 42lbs. This is exactly where we wanted to be at the end of 12 weeks within a few pounds. The supplements we used worked out great and I highly recommend them to everyone even if you not doing a challenge.
I can post our blank workout sheets if anyone is interested. We used our Bowflex, Dumbells, and a treadmill. I was very pleased with the results we got. This one was was much better than the challenge we did a couple years ago using our gym membership. It was much easier to stay on track this time. Things got in the way but we were able to overcome them and get in our workouts anyway.
