Intensive gym workout!!

[maddie_tc]

I decided to treat myself a personal training session (rather than the usual food treats..!) and it was tuff!! I mean SO tuff that I thought I would throw up!!! Loads of weight training & cardio. I know I shouldn't have done this on my first day bk on induction but what really surprised me was that despite my low carb diet the personal trainer wanted me to workout 6days/week fallow the program he builds up for me (this will not benefit him financially as he will only see me once/week) and I was shocked....silly me thought 3days/week would be ok?!? I was SO unfit (I blame my VLCD on breaking down muscle mass..) that he was shocked!!! Couldn't breath after the first 2min of warm up- and I'm quiet slim already so can't blame on the excess weight making it harder!! Ok now I'm just chatting on- my question is- is it ok for me to exercise this much (wouldn't really mind it-as long as it's not dangerous).

Thanks guys!!

Yeh you'll be fine,... just listen to your body and if something doesn't feel right then stop. Bodybuilders are super active and training 6 days a week and often stick to super low carb diets at the same time, if it works for them i guess it can work for us too. The only thing you might want to alter if you are being very active is to raise your carb allowance a little on the days that you exercise (if you start feeling very tired or something)- might want to experiment a bit though since you don't want to knock yourself out of ketosis.

I had a personal trainer once who made me work out 6 days a week. I hated him in the end, lol. He walked out on me because he found a pizza box in my bin (yes, he had been going through my bins!). Anyway, he had me on a low carb diet at that time too.

Thanks!! I cannot believe ur pt went through your bins lol but I'm super hyped!! It wasn't fun at all but no pain no gain (well a LOSS is what I'm looking for!) Even he himself said that he does low carb! I have to admit that it is frustrating to try to figure out if ur in ketosis or not- can't wait for my sticks to arrive!
