@skwigg, I've been reading your posts about Lift with Cee, and I checked out some of her Q&A videos, and looked at a few of the workouts. I, too, have been feeling like my workouts have been getting to be too short/too easy, and would like in increase my strength and bone density now (I am in my 40s) rather than try to catch up 10-15 years from now. Now that I am eating adequate protein, I'm thinking this may be effective. I don't think I can currently lift as heavy as what Cee is doing, but I will get there, I imagine?
I know that in order to get stronger, your muscles have to get bigger. However, I don't want to have to buy new bigger clothes. Is body recomposition a thing with these workouts? They seem slow. You said y awhile back you pick one from the 30 min series, and do it 3x/wk with days in between. That seems doable. Are you still sticking to that?
I have looked at a few other programs, but they are either longer or more days (which I don't have time for). Currently, I am doing 10-20 min. of Zuzka-style workouts daily, plus 10-20 min. of yoga, and about 20-30 min. intentional walking per day. If I am going to longer workouts, they need to not be daily.
Any thoughts appreciated!
I have discovered that I can't deal with any of the Lift with Cee videos where she talks! It absolutely drives me nuts. Unfortunately, there are only 4 full body workouts where she doesn't talk.
It then occurred to me that I could easily find a 30 min. full body weightlifting video (Heather Robertson and Caroline Girvan don't talk, so I like their videos) and apply Cee's formula: repeat 3x/wk. and add more reps or weight each time. I think I will try that.
I don't want to follow an actual program by either of the people I mentioned, because pretty much all of them that I've looked at are 40-60 min. 5x/week which would be very hard for me to fit in, and also probably burn me out.
Anyone have other YouTube fitness instructors they like? I have also done a lot of MadFit workouts in the past (usually her 10 or 20 min ones) and her talking doesn't bother me. Zuzka's talking style is also fine, but her workouts are boring. I hate repeating circuits multiple times, and AMRAP is no fun for me either. Any recommendations?
