My Work-out Schedule and Regimen
As of late, I’ve been getting quite a bit of questions on what my work-outs are like and what they consist of, so I thought I’d share as much detail as I can for all of those curious minds.
To date, I’m currently working out 5x/week incorporating a combination of cardio and strength training. Because I’m quite limited in working out of an actual gym, I do everything at home, and when I can, I try to do my exercises outside.
I usually do 30-45 minutes of cardio 3x/week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and rely mostly on a variety of fitness DVD’s. Some of my favorite fitness DVD’s include: Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred and Blast Fat, Boost Metabolism; Tae Bo, Kathy Smith’s, Fat Burning Pilates, and P90X’s Plyo DVD. If I’m feeling up to it, I may go outside and do a run/walk.
My current strength training routine is done 5 days/week and I spend each day working specific body parts. I should note, that my husband ( a former track athlete) has me working working each exercise to failure, meaning that when doing sets, I do each rep until I possibly can’t do them anymore. So if I’m doing Bicep curls for example, I could do anywhere from 40-60, or to the point where my arms give way.
Here’s an idea of what I’m doing for strength training:
Monday:
Lugnes
Deadlifts
Calf raises
Squats
Tuesday:
Chest press
Push-ups
Chest Flies
Wednesday:
Bent-over lat raises
Superman/woman
Bent-over row
Thursday:
Shoulder press
Frontal raises
Side raises
Friday:
Bicep curls
Hammer curls
Dumbbell punches (kick-box move)
Tricep kick-back
Skull crushes
Tricep dips
Every 4-6 weeks I try to switch up my exercises, especially when it comes to strength training, so sometimes, you’ll catch me doing DVD’s for strength. The one’s that I love to death are, Jari Love’s, Ripped series and Jillian Michaels, No More Trouble Zones.
I hope this helps give my readers an idea of what I do for exercise. If you have any questions or need more details please don’t hesitate to PM me.
