week 25 – Freeletics strength program is working!

Freeletics Transformation week 25

Read my diet a regular day on Freeletics strength program. These 5 last weeks has been very hard. Freeletics strength program is much harder (for me) than the standard program but it’s working.

I know now that the 15 weeks of freeletics was mostly fat burning and less muscle building for me – So after 10 weeks of strength program, – struggling on my 15 week plan, it’s finally starting to pay off – It feels good to find another goal that looks like its going to become a success. Today I made my first artemis with nonstop push-ups. (100) – And I am pleased and happy about that. One thing to remember if you plan to do strength program – Remember to eat A LOT! During week 15 to 20 I didn’t eat enough, and therefore also didn’t see much result. But after summer set in, and barbeque season was officially here (Norway) I have been eating meat 2 times per day. My coach is happy about my progress – I am still looking forward to every workout. Today my weight/height is 68kg/173cm – Keep this in mind when you read what I eat during a day later in this post. Are you a bigger person, you probably should eat more. I workout 4 days per week.

This is approximately what I eat during a normal day (Vegard’s diet):

Breakfast: 170g mackerel in tomato sauce with 2 fiber crackers.
Lunch: 150g sardines or 150g salomon, 2 boiled eggs and a couple of crackers.
Warm meal 1: 300g red meat with salads.
Warm meal 2: 300g white meat. (chicken/turkey/fish)
Before bedtime: 50g peanuts with shells (not the shells obviously) and 100g Cottage cheese with red grapes (or any other fruit)

Every day I blend 1 litre smoothie from banana, grapes, nectarines, blueberries, milk, orange juice, low fat quark
Some berries are frozen to get it really cold. I drink this between meals all day every day. + fruits every now and then

So things are going fine for me I must say. Freeletics really caught my life, and changed it 100% – Workout and food are both high priority, and I workout outdoor every day now matter what kind of weather i get. Some days there are heavy rain, thunder and lightning – other days the sun is shining, – 50 Hades of grey.. Next post it is middle of July – the end of 15 week strength program – I am attending Roskilde festival this year. Maybe some good freeletics pictures come out of it? Maybe I see you there? But I can promise I will drink a beer or two  Make Freeletics your lifestyle. Learn more about Freeletics – My username is Vegard* – Follow me

week 20 – The Freeletics journey continues

Freeletics Transformation week 20

Hi again! Long time no see Since I finished my first 15 weeks of freeletics I haven’t been blogging at all. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy training Freeletics – But to be true, I felt loss of motivation when I reached my first goal. What to do now? What is my next goal gonna be? Well, after a couple of days I saw a lot of new goals to achieve. One of them was getting stronger. I started my Freeletics with the combination of strength and cardio, this is perfect for losing weight and getting stronger, but I felt I reached a point where I didn’t want to lose more weight. Therefore I decided to focus on strength the next 15 weeks, and choose strength workouts in the coach every week.

The program is mostly the same but some of the workouts are a little more difficult and of course harder. One of them are “toes to bar“. – Its fun to learn new workouts, and I every now and then need to check that I even do burpees right. Go back to the video and study now and then… I think that is very important. I am eating a lot these days (as usual), same as before, but more red meat and carbs than earlier… I’ll gain some weight again, but I can always do some weeks of cardio workouts later Next time I will tell you about a general week of what I eat, so you can see what I do to make Freeletics work. Until next time, I advise you to check out freeletics nutrition guide to find guidance to eat right. Stay away from powder, it won’t make you any good in the long terms… Learn more about Freeletics and make Freeletics a lifestyle at freeletics.com – My username is Vegard* – Follow me
