Aloha! Cool group!! I started following "Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle" (BFFM) in December. One size smaller now! 10-15 more lbs to go. Morning routine is stationary bike for 1/2 hour followed by weight workout or yoga most days.

Long time no see! Sorry guys we have been keeping super busy here at Superb! Happy New Year everyone ;-)

Anyone tried/heard about CrossFit?
I strongly recommend!

I have been training at CrossFit Oahu for over a month now... when I joined I thought I was in great shape. It took my training to a completely different level. Check them out http://crossfitoahu.com/

There are free Intro classes on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm or Saturdays at 10:00am.

Great work out: jump into the water (pool or ocean) in a spot where the water reaches your neck level when you stand up. Now simulate that you are jogging in the water (moving your legs and arms) in an pace and intensity that keeps your head out of the water – When I said jogging I don’t mean stepping (touching with your feet) on the bottom. Try this for 5 minutes and rest for 3 minutes – do this 3 or four times/sets. It might be hard at the beginning but it will become easier and softer once you get the technique. You jog in the water without any impact for your knees and other joints. In general, exercising in the water is a great option to have in your week workout routine. I hope it helps and you enjoy it. Aloha to everyone and have a great weekend.

I workout 4 times a week, and really intense hour and a half. After that I'm out the door. I either try to get in early in the morning before work, I try to avoid after work, because I feel so drained at the end of the workday, and have a real difficult time focusing after. I'm always looking for a workout partner. So if anyone is intrested just hit me up.

Nice group! I run 20 to 30 miles a week, plus I stand at my HPU office desk. If I could get a treadmill desk, that would be sooo much better!

Great stuff. Hardest thing for me is consistency and follow through with a workout program. I haven't been on a regular exercise regiment for more than 4 years now and just getting back into it. Easing into it by working out 2-3 times a week and going to increase as I go. Like I said though, hardest thing is keeping it up. Any tips to consistently stay on track?

Paul, when it comes to healthy weight gain (aka muscle mass gain).. I'd recommend to take a closer look at your post and pre-work out meals (I'll post something more specific here soon).

I also would encourage you to learn your protein powders… Let's break them into two categories – Whey (fast digesting) and Casein (slow digesting)

Casein protein is the predominant protein found in milk. It makes up about 80% of the protein in cow’s milk, while the remaining 20% of protein in milk is whey. Casein protein is a slow-digesting protein because it forms a “gel” in the gut, which results in a steady release of amino acids into the blood stream over time. It’s like an IV for your muscles ;-)

The most important thing is to take Whey and Casein at the right time of the day… Casein protein is the only protein you should be taking before going to sleep. The reason is because your body needs to be sustained for six to eight hours during your sleep without food. You don’t want your hard-earned muscle being broken down in your sleep, so a protein that is slowly released over time is best. If you took whey protein before going to bed, it would do very little since whey is absorbed and used within an hour.

Whey protein should be used first thing in the morning and after workouts. If you have to go more than three hours without food during the day or are taking a protein shake as a meal replacement, you should use a blend of whey and casein – about 50/50. This will give you a quick shot of protein and a sustained release of protein to carry you through to your next meal. Finally, if you are eating every two to three hours, you can use whey protein by itself in between meals

Hope it helps! Keep pushing it!
Elya
