LiveFit Workout Days 33 & 34: Shoulders, Cardio, Legs

LiveFit Shoulders Phase 2

Phase 2 is kicking my butt. I ended up taking my rest day on Saturday this week instead of today (Sunday). So…I did the workout I skipped yesterday, today. I have included both workouts in this post as you’ll see below. For the shoulder workout I forgot to enter the details for the real delt [...]

Leg Exercises for Women: Get Shapely Legs Fast!

Leg Exercises for Women - Lunges

If you aren’t happy with the way your legs are shaped at this point, some strength training can definitely change their overall shape. When you do weight lifting exercises what you’re doing is increasing the density and size of your muscles. Some people like to call this “toning”. Building the muscles in your legs provides [...]

Quick, Obnoxious Leg Workout for Women

leg workout for women

Bored with my workout routine again so today I created my own leg workout while I was doing my warm-up walk on the treadmill. If you’re bored with your workouts the best thing you can do for yourself and your motivation is to try a new one! There are some people who never do the [...]

*New Workout Begins Today: Quads & Abs (Nixed the 4-week Program)

A couple of weeks ago I began a new 4-week workout program to start the new year off with a challenge of some sorts but I’m already bored with it. If I’m bored with a workout I don’t get excited to workout and that is a really lame feeling. So…today I’m starting anew! The workout [...]

4/22: Earth Day Leg Workout and Steady Cardio

Happy Earth Day! I’ve been having some lower back pain the last couple of days. I’m guessing it’s from the back workout I did on Tuesday. It was really bad yesterday and I thought I was okay to workout today until I started doing squats. For this reason, I didn’t even finish up my last [...]

3/27 & 3/29: Cardio, Abs and Leg Workout

Today’s post consists of 2 days worth of workouts, cardio/abs and legs, because I forgot to post the workout I did on Saturday, so I’ve just combined the two workouts into one post. I had scaled back on my leg workout this week. I’ve been doing deadlifts twice a week and it’s really helped to [...]

3/21: Women’s Strength Training Workout – Heavy Legs

Today is Sunday and I did a heavy leg workout. I don’t think I’ll be doing that again. It felt okay, but Sundays are pretty tough workout days for me. Normally I’d just do a cardio workout since it’s Sunday, but this workout split I’m doing now is actually an 8-day split so it kind [...]

3/13: Heavy Leg Workout – NEW!

Women's Leg Workout - Squats

I started a new leg workout again today. It’s really not THAT different than the recent leg workouts I’ve been doing, but it’s a lot quicker and more intense. I got the workout I did today from Bodybuilding.com. (You can find the workout I did here today under their workouts section) Bodybuilding is my favorite [...]

3/7 Workout: Heavy Legs!

dumbbells

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 [...]

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

Olympic Rings

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 [...]

1/30 & 1/31 Workouts: Heavy Legs, Abs & Cardio

Abs Photo Update

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 [...]

4/22 BodyForLife Workout: Lower Body

Another great lower body workout day for me! I didn’t bother raising the weight on any of these exercises yet, so it’s basically identical to my last lower body workout. I think I might try to increase the weight when I do my next one. Here’s the workout:

4/17 BodyForLife Workout: Lower Body

I am loving this workout program! It’s pretty intense, but that’s what my body seems to respond to the quickest. My abs, quads and hamstrings are sore from my most recent lower body workout. Remember that the rep order goes like this: 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 and then 12 of the 2nd exercise. Here’s [...]
