Happy April!

Hello everyone! I am excited about spring and enjoying the awesome few sunny warmer days we are having. My training is going great. I can't wait til it is even warmer and I can do my running and sprinting outside. My leg work outs are getting stronger and I feel like I am about up to my usual in that area. This month I am going to start recording my workouts and getting ready for video postings. The whole injury wiht my knee has taken much longer for recovery than I had ever expected. Today was my circuit training day and cardio on the treadmill.
Well, not much new to tell ya'll about. Have a great workout and keep pumpin'.
Later, CamalaBrooke

Getting back on track!

The Arnold Classsic and Expo was really fun and crowded. It was cool checking out what is new in the fitness industry. One of the coolest things I've found was a new product called Lifewave patches. They give you energy for 12 hrs and help you have stronger workouts. They do this by opening the enregy meridians in the body. I still must say my favorite protein is still Jay Robb! The products are superior and organic with no hydrogenated oils and no artificial sweetners.
The fitness/figure and bodybuilding finals were fantastic.
Let me know if anyone found any really awesome new products and how their experience was.
I am doing cardio/treadmill for 20 minutes a day now and my knee is feeling pretty good. My weight workouts are going good too. I am just now doing leg exercises, but wiht no weights. This week I go back to work.I'm kinda worried about how the ole knee will do standing all day. I still haven't tested that out yet.
The Herbiceps armwrestling seminar was really informative, It was so amazing to see how arm wrestling is very much form and technique.
Have a great training week.
CamalaBrooke!

Good morning!

Hello! I just wanted to check in and let you all know I am doing great. I have my follow up appt. tomm. hopefull I'll get the ok to start cardio. I started my diet for my first competition in May. I am doing the NPC Mike Francois show in Columbus, Ohio. I am entering the figure and the light weight bodybuilding sections. It's a national qualifier, so I am sure I'll qualify in one of the two areas. I am working right now on getting suits and music together.
I am excited about the Arnold. It should be a great time. I am watching the finals for the women's fitness, figure and bodybuilding rounds.
Have a great day!
CamalaBrooke!

Booth info!

Hi ya'll! My training has been going great. Upper body only ....of course! I am walking with a slight limp right now and feel pretty good. I should be able to fast walk cardio in a week and do a regular light leg work out in 2 weeks. Next week I am starting my recording for the paid site that will have all sorts of cool video and new photo gallery.
The Arnold Fitness Expo is coming up March 4,5, and 6th. I will be at the World Gym booth right up by the stage at the convention center. I'll have some pics to autograph. So, I'd love to meet everyone and answer any questions. I'll have more info. on the booth # soon. I'll be there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.......except to see the figure competition and finals.
I changed my upper body workout since I can't train legs. I did chest adn triceps yesterday. Today, my hubby and I trained shoulders and biceps. i am intensifying it with more sets than the original work out I wrote earlier. Well, keep pumping and sending me emails. CamalaBrooke!

Update

Hello! I wanted to let everyone know the surgery went awesome and I feel great. I ended up not being able to get hte meniscus repaired. IT was too torn up. The good news is that I had an unusually large (2X) the normal size called a discoid meniscus and still have plenty of cusion to work with. My knee feels great and I am sure I'll be doing legs in a couple of weeks. Take care and have a great weekend!

FYI

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you all know the scoop on my injury. I went to the orthopedic Dr. and also had an MRI. I have a torn lateral meniscus. I am having surgery to repair it on Friday. I'll be up and running in 2-3 weeks. Right now, I am feeling great and training upper body and can still walk on the treadmill with some good icing and elevation afterwards. So, wish me luck and I'll see you all at the Arnold Classic. I am doing an armwrestling seminar for HERBICEPS Satuday night. Look for me there.
Hugs, Camala
ps I'll write an entry after my surgery and let everyone know how it went!
