3/11 Workout: Biceps, Triceps & Cardio
For some reason my triceps were really sore today. I must have used them more than I thought yesterday during my ab workout. Whoooops! I still did pretty well even though they were so sore – I raised the weight 5 pounds and still did 12 reps (last week I did 15 reps with less [...]
3/9 Workout: Chest and Back
Today’s workout pissed me off. I don’t know why but the past 3 weeks I’ve been flat benching 85# and it feels as if it’s getting harder each week. Shouldn’t that be the opposite?? Usually that happens to be the case, but not as of late. I feel like I’m stuck at 85 pounds. Today [...]
3/7 Workout: Heavy Legs!
Another heavy leg day! I had to skip working out yesterday and did legs today instead. I plan on doing some cardio tomorrow since everything got twisted around this weekend. My legs are way too tired now to have even attempted a run at doing some cardio today too.
My husband picked up the squat rack [...]
3/2 Workout: Chest & Back
Today’s chest and back workout felt pretty tough. I’m not sure if it was because I did legs Sunday instead of Saturday and lost an extra day of rest, or if it was because we started a little later than normal. It was probably a combination of both, but I really struggled with my flat [...]
2/26 & 2/28: Cardio & Heavy Legs Workout
MY LEGS ARE TIRED!!!!!! When I sit down I feel like I’m sitting on my butt and have NO legs at all underneath. I pushed myself really hard today and it feels great. Normally I would’ve done my strength training workout yesterday, but we had our new bedroom furniture delivered and we had to finish [...]
2/21 & 2/23 Workouts: Cardio, Chest and Back
I feel like it’s been too long since I’ve written a post here. That’s probably mostly because I forgot to post my cardio workout from Sunday. (the one I swear I almost died from!) It was pretty crazy and I was so happy when I was done, but my body felt weird for a good [...]
2/20 Workout: 100 Pound Deadlifts! (Heavy Legs and Shoulders)
Today was heavy leg day followed up with a shoulder workout. I’ve decided that I’m going to start a new workout split next week, but I haven’t quite figured out exactly what yet. I’ll work on it tomorrow and Monday. I think I’ll probably keep the Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday split for strength training but I’m gonna switch [...]
2/13 & 2/14 Workouts: Heavy Legs, Shoulders & Cardio
Happy Valentine’s Day! <3 I did a heavy leg workout and a shoulder workout yesterday and then today I did a steady state cardio workout. I don’t do cardio on leg day – it gets to be too much for my legs, especially when I’m lifting heavy like I have been lately. So…I’m completely kosher [...]
2/11 Workout: Chest, Triceps & 600 Calories Worth of Cardio
Today’s workout was a little tough. I’ve had some kind of stomach flu since Tuesday night and some horrible abdominal cramping to go along with it. Today has been quite a bit better, but I still haven’t been eating as much as I normally would on a workout day. For this reason, I felt weak [...]
2/7 & 2/9 Workouts: Steady Cardio, Back, Biceps & HIIT
I completely forgot to post my cardio workout that I did Sunday morning, so I’ll just include it in this post with today’s workout.
I took an updated back photo today. I chose to not wear a sports bra in the pic like I normally do so I could see my whole back instead of parts [...]
2/6 Workout: Heavy Legs & Shoulders
This leg and shoulders workout took a lot outta me today! I did heavy legs again this week and I followed that up with shoulders. I was going to do weighted crunches afterwards but my arms (more specifically my shoulders) were too tired. I felt I wasn’t performing them properly because I wasn’t strong enough [...]
2/4 Workout: Chest, Triceps & Cardio
Today was chest & triceps day followed with steady state cardio. I always get excited about chest day. I like the bench press – it’s always been one of my favorite exercises.
I decided to up the weight 5 pounds this week and was still able to perform 5 reps. That’s right in the 4 to [...]
2/2 Workout: Back, Biceps & Cardio
Today I was able to get another great workout in! My goal was to do back and biceps for strength training and then to do a cardio workout that consisted of both high-intensity interval training (HIIT) followed immediately by steady state cardio. I aimed to do 10 minutes of HIIT and at least 10 minutes [...]
1/30 & 1/31 Workouts: Heavy Legs, Abs & Cardio
This post is a compilation of the workouts I did yesterday and today. I had a huge Christmas party to go to yesterday and before that started I had to go grocery shopping and then get my workout in. I had planned on doing abs yesterday, but I decided to do them today just before [...]
1/28 Workout: Chest, Triceps & Cardio
Today I got a kick ass workout in! A couple days ago, I felt so fatigued during my workout and I was getting upset because I couldn’t lift what I normally do. It seemed to take a lot more effort. I checked with My Fitness Pal and SparkPeople to calculate the calories I should be [...]
1/25 Workout: Shoulders
Today is a dreary day in Minnesota, both weather-wise and for all the Vikings fans after their loss last night in the NFC Championship game. I actually wasn’t going to workout today, but I decided to do a shoulder workout since I forgot to do them earlier last week.
Shoulder Workout
1/23 Workout: Heavy Legs & Abs
Today was leg day. For my last leg workout I used a lighter weight and did higher reps, but today I decided to start going heavy and I’m so glad I did! I was lifting far more than I thought I could and it makes me wish I had started lifting heavy a long time [...]
1/21 Workout: Chest, Triceps & Cardio
The photo in this post really has nothing to do with my workout today in any way but it’s Adrian Peterson and my Vikings are in the NFC Championship game this coming Sunday so I’m showing my team spirit!
I realized today that I completely skipped shoulders. For my last workout I did back and biceps [...]
