Hi… Just checking in with you!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all are having a great Memorial Day weekend!

Just checking in with you all to say I’ll be posting another video soon. Probably in the next couple days… just taking some time off this weekend… it’s been a while since I’ve had a 3 day weekend. I rarely get 2 days off in a row… so 3 is magical… lol. 🙂

The next video will be my Vlog #4, which was my 4th week of my journey back to fitness. I only did 2 workouts that week, but still made my goal of 2-3 workouts per week, which is what my goal is right now.IMG_0482

Thank you all for your support and following me on Youtube and any of my other social media sites! I really appreciate it!

Take care… and sending Blessings to you all!!

Train hard, Train smart, and Stay Safe!!

Leg Video Almost Done!

Just a little note to anyone checking in here… the leg video that I did on April 23rd is almost done. I have it all edited and just have to do the voice over now. Will probably have it done tomorrow, Wednesday May 11th. 🙂

It’s a longer video about 25 minutes… but will have me explaining things in the voice over. There will a small tip in this video for the hamstrings on the lying leg curl and also a good explanation of how I hit the different parts of the calf.

Some videos will be longer like this… and some will be shorter.

Hope you all are having a great day. See you soon!

Clifta’s Chest Workout May 6, 2016- Reno Personal Fitness Trainer

Hi!

20160507_091539 This was my quick chest workout from May 6, 2016. I got a really good pump from this. I didn’t have alot of time (like 15-20 minutes) so I timed my rest times to keep the pace moving and to keep the intensity up. Even though I was training faster… I still lifted more than last time on the Incline Press, which made me happy. I feel like my body is healing and getting more fit and conditioned each workout. 🙂 About 2 weeks ago when I did Incline DB Presses I did 15 lb. DB’s, as my heaviest weight, on the last set and could still feel my left shoulder/collar bone a little bit and stopped there… 15 lbs. was the heaviest I’ve been able to do in a long time. But today I did my last 2 sets with 20 lbs!!! Yay!! It feels like my body is getting stronger and that it’s able to handle more this week. This workout was before I got my hair done. See my workout below and more chest pics…. and a pic of my new purple hair. 🙂 This is was on a Friday… so the hair pic is with a Friday treat! 😉

 

CHEST= 11 sets total

 

High Incline DB Press……. supersetted with…… Pop Push ups on bench

10 lbs. x 25 reps………………………………………………………. BW x 5 reps

Preview of Footage Shot for Upcoming Videos

Published on CliftaFit Youtube Channel on Apr 24, 2016

Preview the footage that I shot the week of April 18, 2016 for “My Journey Back”. Clifta clothes shopping for motivation to start her new goals. Also see her first upper body workout and her second leg workout of her new fitness program… along with a sneak peak of a light outdoor cardio session. Clifta also filmed some “Clifta Talk” which I think will be a new series on various subjects from her thoughts on her journey back to getting in shape… to topics that come up with clients… to whatever… lol.

Clifta’s first leg workout for her new start. April 20, 2016… https://cliftafit.tv/2016/04/21/leg-wo…

What’s Coming Up Next?

Hi Everyone…

IMG_0350I’m trying to coordinate my website with my youtube channel and really want them to work together. So I guess you could say that I’m in the process of getting organized! Yay! lol

I’ve shot a lot of footage the last week or so and sometimes it takes a while for me to edit it… so… what I’ll start doing is trying to post what video will be coming up next for my CliftaFit channel. That way you get an idea ahead of time as to what I’ll be posting on my channel. I’ll also be posting ALL of my workouts here too for my journey back… some of my workouts will be in video form on my channel and others will only be listed here… so make sure you check here often so that you catch everything because there will probably be some workouts that I won’t be able to film, but ALL my workouts will be here. Did that make sense? lol

So check here often to see what’s coming up! 🙂

Clifta 🙂
