Nutrition and Weight Training for Women
Got a really great workout in today guys! I learned I made some strength gains too so that’s super awesome. I was able to increase barbell bent rows by 10# and one arm rows by 5#. I don’t have 20# dumbbells so I used 2 – 10# plates instead. Cardio: P90X Cardio X + 30 [...]
From FitnessBlogWorld.com: What has been lacking from your fitness regime that you know you should be doing, but somehow it always evades you…. for example – stretching, concrete goal-setting, journalling, cross-training….etc. What has been holding you back and how do intend to go forward and make it happen? What tips do you have for others [...]
This was my most favorite shoulder workout ever! Normally I’m not one to get excited about a shoulder workout but I did a couple of new-to-me exercises which made it pretty fun. A lot of women neglect working out the shoulders and they seem to concentrate more on the larger muscle groups (or just cardio..) [...]
I don’t always post my workouts on here but I do like to post them once in awhile and I felt like the high-intensity workout that I did today should be posted. I did a shoulder/abs workout and then I added a bit of cardio at the end. *In between each exercise I kept moving [...]
Today was chest day for me so I did a chest workout followed by a somewhat short cardio workout. If you’re a regular blog reader here, you probably know by now that I am a fan of doing cardio workouts immediately following my strength training workouts. I have found them to be very effective and [...]
I’m gonna keep this post short and sweet today because it’s Friday, it’s dinnertime and I’m hungry! I did a shoulder workout today and I’ve also included the cardio workout I did yesterday. Shoulder Workout Military Press (in front) Warm up: 2 sets x 12 reps, 20# 1 set x 10 reps, 40# Lateral Raises [...]
For today’s workout I continued working on the new workout plan I started and today was chest and abs day. I also followed it up with a cardio workout on the treadmill. Chest Workout Incline Dumbbell Press Warm-up: 2 sets x 12 reps, 10# dumbbells 1 set x 10 reps, 20# dumbbells (will be increasing [...]
This past Saturday, I did a new leg workout and decided to follow the entire program I found on Bodybuilding.com. You can find free workouts there under the workout section on the left side of the page. Like the leg workout, I’ll be doing a warm-up set or two and then doing 1 straight set [...]
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 [...]
I did an unexpected abdominal workout today and it was probably the most intense ab workout I’ve ever done. Awesome! My husband and I both wanted to do cardio today since we didn’t yesterday so while one of us ran, the other one did abs. It worked out pretty well! Abdominal Workout I got the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
On a happy note, I’m so glad the Vikes won their playoff game today! But…wanna know what’s sad? My hamstrings were STILL hurting from the HIIT workout I did the other day. As a result, I decided to still do legs today but I used a light amount of weight and did a higher number [...]
