5/4: Women’s Back & Triceps Workout – NEW!

Today I continue on with the new workout program that I got from the May/June issue of Muscle and Fitness Hers. I have substituted a few of the exercises because I don’t have cables, but I’m still working identical muscle groups. I feel like I haven’t worked out in forever. It’s been about 4 days [...]

4/20: Women’s Back Workout

Happy Tuesday! Hey…at least it’s not Monday! Today I did a women’s back workout. I was originally scheduled to do another shoulder workout, but I decided to skip it this week. I was very pleased with the workout I did today because I improved on everything since the last back workout I did. I was [...]

4/12: Women’s Back Workout

It’s been a busy weekend, so my back workout got postponed and I was finally able to do it today. We had to fix one of the cars this weekend among other things and working out was put on the back burner. Today I only did a back workout, tomorrow I’ll be doing cardio, but [...]

3/26: Back Workout (130-Pound Deadlifts!)

Back workout day today and nothing else! Another personal best for deadlifts, I’m now able to deadlift my bodyweight 11 times! One of these days I should see what my 1-rep max is (that is…how much weight I could lift just one time). I bet I would surprise myself! My previous personal best for deadlifts [...]

3/19 Workout: Back Only (New!) & Deadlifts Personal Best!

I haven’t worked out on a Friday, other than doing cardio, in a long, long time but today I did a new back workout. It’s a 5 day split that I started last Saturday and it’s a workout I got from Bodybuilding.com. It’s under the workouts section and it’s an advanced women’s workout. For this [...]

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 [...]

3/2 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 [...]

2/21 & 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 [...]

2/16 Workout: Back, Biceps & Cardio

Back, biceps and steady state cardio workouts today! I was able to get in a really great workout today and in total I think it lasted a little over 90 minutes – that does include about an hour of cardio, but the time actually flew by pretty quickly. I don’t mind 3 long workouts per [...]

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 [...]

1/26 Workout: Back and Biceps!

Today’s workout included back exercises and bicep exercises and it was actually much harder than normal to complete and I have no idea why. I’m still fighting a nasty cold, though it’s gotten much better. I barely made it through my w0rkout because I was feeling so weak and fatigued, but I have no idea [...]

1/19 Workout: Back & Biceps

Today was back and bicep day again and I actually feel like I got another great workout in. I did absolutely no cardio today because my legs are still sore from my last leg workout, but I think I might do some cardio tomorrow. I always feel guilty if I’m not doing it at least [...]

1/12 Workout: Back, Biceps & High-Intensity Interval Training

I got a really great workout in today despite the fact that I’m fighting a nasty cold. If I would’ve known I was going to cough so much after the fact, I definitely wouldn’t have done any cardio. But I’m already done with it now and it feels good to get a great workout in! [...]

7/7: Back Workout + Abs Exercises

Ahhhhh…I finally got to workout again! Because of our schedule with our children, my fiance’ and I have decided to work out Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday rather than Monday/Wednesday/Friday. With that said, here’s Tuesday’s workout:

Back & Abs Workout + Wednesday Weigh-In

I forgot to blog about Monday’s back and abs workout so I’ll get that in with this post which is my Wednesday weigh-in! To get that out of the way, I weighed in at 132.0 pounds today. Last week I was 133.2, the week before that it was 133.4 so I finally had a substantial [...]

6/10: Back Workout + Ab Exercises

I had a pretty good back workout today! And my ab workout was pretty good too. My entire abdominal section was sore the following day. The back workout:

5/11 Workout: Back & Abs

My abs were burning yesterday from the ab workout I did on Saturday. They felt better today so I decided to do another ab workout. I’m planning on doing ab workouts 3 times per week. In addition to abs, I also did back today. I’m so happy to be back to a normal (for me) [...]

My Daily Workout: Back, Biceps & Cardio

Today I decided to try a new back and biceps workout that I found in one of my old Oxygen Fitness Magazines. It’s actually a part of one of their total-body workout plans. I have yet to decide if I’ll follow along with the rest, but the back/biceps workout caught my eye and I decided [...]
