Okay guys, sorry for the super late post. I’ve be busy trying to get everything ready for the holidays.
As promised this post will be on my workouts.
I’m trying to stay healthy and live a healthy lifestyle. In order to accomplish my goals I got to get my ass up and hit the gym. The gym to me is like a get a way place. Whenever I go to them gym I feel so good and so refreshed after. If I’m having a bad day, I go to the gym to bust a sweat and to me it feels amazing. The workouts I’m about to post are just some examples just like my previous post and like I said in my previous post “what works for me, may not work for you” Basically right now I’m trying to drop another 25lbs and work on my arms and legs. So these workouts will be based on that.
If I’m doing any weights on that gym day, I start off with a 10-20 minute cardio workout just to get my heart rate going. Personally, I prefer the elliptical. When it comes to weights I do 3 sets of 18 reps. Sometimes when I’m feeling brave ill do more reps.
ARM DAY:
-Shoulder Press
-Bicep Curl
-Preacher Curl(Least Favorite)
-Triceps Extension
There’s more but I can’t remember the names.
LEG DAY:
-3 sets of 20 squats(I don’t like squats)
-3 sets of 18 lunges(I really don’t like lunges)
-150-200 skips with a skipping rope(can work for my arms as well but I feel it more in my legs.
-Leg Press
-Leg extensions(my favorite)
-Wall sit(1 minute but I try to push for 2)
There’s more but I can’t remember the names.
Now, if I’m doing straight cardio my cardio normally lasts me 45-60mins. I love the elliptical but sometimes I get bored of it so what I do is 30 mins on the elliptical and the remainder of the time on the treadmill. I like to feel the burn after 5mins so I increase the incline on both machines.
Sounds easy right? As long as your eating right and exercising 3-4 times a week you should be good to go. If your reading this and want to know my full workout routine just send me and e-mail at tamikasbarnes@gmail.com
