Workout Regime....change it up baby!


Current Work out Regime

Currently work out 4 times a week.   Started with 2 times a week with a personal trainer that gave me that extra kick in the butt that I needed at the time....
Now I'm able to kick my own butt...

Start with a 10-15 minute warm up walk/ jog on the treadmill

Work larger muscle groups first.....to smaller muscle groups...

Leg Press   12-15 reps at 200 lbs  times 2

Leg curls    12-15 reps at 50 lbs   times 2


another leg machine  12- 15 reps at 40 lbs   times 2

Hip Abductor   12-15 reps  at 65    times 2


Arm machines  ( you choose)   12- 15 reps   times 2  70 lbs

chest press   12-15 reps    35lbs  times 2 


Ab Crunch   65 lbs times 20  times 2


In between each set my trainer wanted me to be sure to try to keep my heart rate up and said this is the trick to it all....plus varying the different things done in between...changing it up
15 jump sqwats...these are killers but effective
20 steps with weights
12 lunges with weights
using the step jumping with two feet from floor to step and back down again x 20....definate killers


After all of this I tend to vary between 20 minutes of Cardio and 35 minutes of Cardio
varying between running on the treadmill....walking on treadmill   and using the Elipical even though I have been told the Eliptical was more effective for burning calories.......

Good luck...and make sure to keep in mind I worked up to this....
Start at your own pace with your own weight strength....and duration of Cardio...
If you kill yourself in the beginning...
you won't want to keep coming back...

Keep posted for my next excerpt...where I have added Pilates....and then when I will be Adding the Learn to Run group.....
