I got the itch to switch up my workouts again… 
With this workout I decreased the weight, increased the reps and limited time in between sets to just 45 seconds. Wow does that make a big difference! It really ups the intensity.
A couple of quick things:
- I’m in the process of creating a new vision board. I’ve been staring at the one I made last year for a long time now and need some new inspiration. I’ll be sure to post the instructions and pictures as soon as it’s completed.
- I’m currently working on eating clean and I mean CLEAN. While I’ve definitely improved my diet over the past 2 years I am on a quest to eat clean for 7 days to see how I feel. I’m on day 3 and I really don’t think I’ll go back to eating so much processed food ever again. It doesn’t even look or sound appealing at the moment. I have been keeping a manual food diary, but I will be entering everything here as a part of my experiment and I will create a separate post for each of the 7 days. I will also document my weight each day. I won’t be doing too much with that info, I’m more interested in the difference between my starting weight on day 1 and my ending weight on the morning of day 8.
Now that I got that outta the way, here’s the workout I completed today:
Shoulder Workout
Wide-Grip Barbell Press (Standing Military Press)
- 3 sets x 15 reps, 20#
Seated Dumbbell Press
- 3 sets x 15 reps, 8#

*NOTES: I rested for only 45 seconds in between sets and 1-2 minutes in between exercises.
I’m sorry the weekend has come to an end but I hope you have a fabulous week!
All the best,
Melinda
