Nutrition and Weight Training for Women
I’ve kind of been on a superset kick lately with my workouts. It increases the intensity a smidge and also helps me get through it a bit quicker – helpful when you have kids running around the basement! Today I did a chest and back workout with supersets and it’s actually one that I got [...]
In case you didn’t already know, I started a new women’s workout program yesterday and kicked it off with this shoulder and abs workout. Today I continued the same workout program and followed the chest & biceps portion. I switched up the exercises a bit since I don’t have “machines” in my home gym, but [...]
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 [...]
Today was chest day and the workout was short and sweet so this blog post won’t be real long either! It’s nice to have quick workouts sometimes. It’s a nice change. When I did my last chest workout I also did an abs workout and cardio but I skipped them both this time. I’m not [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I started a new workout program this week and today was chest and triceps day. I love chest day and today’s workout was much better than my last chest workout. Actually…I guess I shouldn’t say it was “much better” but it was a lot more fun because I used the bench and barbell this time. [...]
Today I finally got a strength training workout in – it’s been a few weeks! I kind of took it pretty easy but I’m definitely feeling pretty tired right about now. Getting started again is the hardest part and I’m so looking forward to being on a regular strength training schedule again. I’ve missed it [...]
I was supposed to do a chest workout yesterday, but we had Applebee’s for lunch and it totally screwed up my stomach. My stomach is really sensitive to salad dressing and last night I ordered a Ceasar salad, totally forgetting about the horrible stomach pains I would have afterwards. Definitely not a smart move on [...]
