Women’s Chest and Back Workout with Supersets

womens chest workout

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 [...]

Women’s Chest and Back Workout

Last week I mentioned that I was getting bored with my previous workout so I began a new one. I love it. If I don’t enjoy a workout I’ll just quit – which is not okay – so I decided I’d look for something new and I’m really glad I did. Today I did a [...]

My 4-Week Workout Journal, Day 7 & 8: Cardio & Upper Body Workout

For the next 4 weeks I will be making daily posts about my workouts – with the exception of Wednesdays because that will be my off day. Yeah, only one off day. That is something I’m definitely not used to. In welcoming the new year, I also wanted to challenge myself to a tough 4-week [...]

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 [...]

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

Female Back Workout - Muscular Back

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 [...]
