free days and free weights

June 27, 2008 at 11:19 pm (diet, exercise, general) (, , )

the ankle is better. still sore and feels a little…lose, maybe is the word? sometimes it’s like nothing is wrong with it, other times, i feel like if i turn the wrong way it’s going to pop. regardless, i hope i am 100% soon.

this week i really did the first actual body for life type week. and today was my cheat day. it felt really odd to be eating mexican food and having some margaritas…but this was my cheat day. well, i think bill philips calls it your free day, because technically it’s not cheating if it is built into the plan. i feel a bit sick from eating “free” after eating so clean all week. maybe that is the point of the free day: it puts you back on track the rest of the week. if i can just get my exercise going back when the ankle feels better, i feel like i will be on my way. (i did lose 3 pounds this week)

but, i am confused with some of the body for life exercise. i need a run down. i read the book. i have scoured the body for life website. i just do not know how to put the plan together. i get the cardio. it’s the strength training, the free weights. i don’t know which ones to do…how many for each muscle group. with that i could use some advice from anyone who has/is been on the program.
