Review of Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer - Week 5

Pin It now! Hello Everyone!

I am excited that I am finally on track with writing my reviews!

Week 5 of  Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer was a little rough...mostly due to a busy schedule. The weight training exercises were different this week and cardio was added in.  

So what can I say about week 5...
Week 5 was an exhausting week. I was not prepared for how much longer the workouts were going to take this week. For all days except for legs, I spent at least 1.5 hours at the gym. It's amazing how much longer that 30 minutes of cardio made the time commitment feel. On top of everything, work was very busy for me and for my husband. He ended up having to travel for work a day this week so we got up at 4:30 a.m. to get our workout in Tuesday. It was rough considering that is a lot earlier than I am used to getting up. We started our workouts on Sunday to accommodate a break day Thursday because of his schedule as well. Unfortunately with him pulling a few 12 hour days Thursday and Friday and work exhausting me, we missed one day and did not make it up. It was the shoulders day so I wasn't that upset over it and it happens. It was the first workout we've missed so I still think we are doing extremely well. We needed rest so we went to sleep early and woke up Saturday and made sure we did not miss our workout. 

The workouts for week 5 were a little different than the previous weeks. That meant on top of adding in cardio the weight training portion took longer because we had to figure out what weights would be best for particular exercises. Week 5 also added in super sets and drop sets which were interesting but not bad at all.  The leg workout that we did on Tuesday was completely different than the leg workout scheduled on Saturday. That was surprising to me because for the other 4 weeks the leg workout that was done twice a week was the same. I did not particularly care for some of the exercises on Saturday's leg day. There was a single leg barbell squat that felt totally awkward and unsafe. I am going to look and figure out something I can do to replace that workout. With Saturday's leg workout being so much different, I can tell you that my legs hurt! They do not hurt terribly, I can just tell I worked them hard. I know that is a good thing though. Tuesday's leg workout also added in a Plie Dumbbell Squat which I had never done before but it was not terrible. My husband absolutely hated them and he looked so funny trying to do them. I kept trying to show him how to get his legs right but his legs were just not going to bend in that direction! For the schedule, I started on Sunday so I could use Thursday as a rest day, so my schedule was:
Sunday - Back & Cardio,  Monday - Chest, Abs & Cardio, Tuesday - Legs, Wednesday - Arms, Abs & Cardio, Thursday - Rest, Friday(missed) - Shoulders & Cardio, & Saturday - Legs.

Besides not caring for the one leg exercise, I am still loving it and I know I will adjust to doing cardio again. I'm really seeing some results so I hope they keep coming!
Hope this helps you. Feel free to ask any questions!
