7/18: Women’s Shoulders & Abs Workout

I got the itch to switch up my workouts again… With this workout I decreased the weight, increased the reps and limited time in between sets to just 45 seconds. Wow does that make a big difference! It really ups the intensity. A couple of quick things: I’m in the process of creating a new [...]

5/6: Women’s Shoulders and Abs Workout

Happy Thursday! Today I did the same shoulder and abs workout that I did last week. It seemed a little harder this time and I actually kept the weight the same for everything. Interesting… In case you haven’t yet read the new nutrition post titled, ‘Developing a Personal, Healthy Meal Plan for Children‘ written by [...]

4/26: Women’s Shoulder & Abs Workout – NEW!

I’m finally excited to workout again! I was getting bored with the last workout and since I had gone through it 4 times, it was time for a change. I just got my new Muscle and Fitness Hers magazine this past Saturday and it was perfect timing because it has a great workout in it! [...]

3/18 Workout: Shoulders, High-Intensity Interval Training & Steady State Cardio

Today I did a new shoulder workout. I don’t think I have devoted an entire workout just for shoulders before, but I tried it out today since it’s part of the new workout program I’m doing. I’m pretty pleased with the way my shoulders look right now, but it is still important to work them [...]

2/13 & 2/14 Workouts: Heavy Legs, Shoulders & Cardio

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 [...]

2/6 Workout: Heavy Legs & Shoulders

This leg and shoulders workout took a lot outta me today! I did heavy legs again this week and I followed that up with shoulders. I was going to do weighted crunches afterwards but my arms (more specifically my shoulders) were too tired. I felt I wasn’t performing them properly because I wasn’t strong enough [...]

1/25 Workout: Shoulders

Today is a dreary day in Minnesota, both weather-wise and for all the Vikings fans after their loss last night in the NFC Championship game. I actually wasn’t going to workout today, but I decided to do a shoulder workout since I forgot to do them earlier last week. Shoulder Workout

1/10 Workout: Shoulders and Steady State Cardio

Today I started a new workout program. It’s actually featured in the January/February 2010 issue of Muscle and Fitness Hers. It’s a workout split that fitness model Nicole Wilkins Lee follows at times. In 2009, Nicole won first place in each of the following competitions:

7/11: Shoulder Workout + Abs Exercises

I haven’t done a shoulder workout in quite some time, so this was a pretty light workout. I did low weight + high reps for toning purposes since I’m really not trying to build up the muscle or strength too much. I also did a short ab workout existing of 2 ab exercises and some [...]

My Daily Workout: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, Abs & Cardio

Today my workout consisted of 1 chest exercise, 2 shoulder exercises and 1 triceps exercise. I normally would do 2 exercises for each but I kind of had to speed through my workout because my littlest guy wasn’t cooperating. :] Chest Barbell Bench Press – 65# 4 sets x 6 reps
