AM:
Today was a light day on my workout program. They are intermittent. The goal of this program is to hit cardio every other day. Subsequently, some of my cardio routines will coincide with a weight lifting routine and on other days, like today, it’ll be cardio all by itself.
I hope everyone is having a great week so far!
See you at the finish line…

Good morning all! Today was all cardio. For those of you who follow this part of my blog I wanted to explain that I take a day off on Friday. Friday is a fasting day, for religious purposes. Subsequently, I take the day off to conserve energy and relieve myself of the dependable hunger pangs that arise after a good workout.
It was my sister’s birthday yesterday. She’s coming up today to hang out with the family. I look forward to it. We’ll watch some shows on Netflix or Amazon, eat some birthday cake, and have a good time. I hope all of you have a terrific Saturday!
See you at the finish line…

AM:
Cardio Treadmill 25-minutes Hill Program
I adjusted my workout routines to an early morning regimen. I start between 5:30 and 6:00 am. I follow a workout routine provided by Bodybuilding.com all access. If you’re interested, you’ll want to look for the Bodyspace app in iTunes app store. It’s a convenient little app and the all access portion runs about $8/month. You can track your workouts, follow one of the many pre-designed workout routines, and have access to one of the best supplement stores anywhere. I’m working through a workout routine provided by Lee Labrada. It’s a daily workout routine that lasts for 12 weeks. I’m on day 3 of the 84 day routine.
I’ve also giving the KETO diet a whirl. I’ve been on this for about a week and want to try it. I’d like to maintain this as a lifestyle, since there are so many products on the market now that support this kind of diet. My body doesn’t do well with carbs and I pile on the weight when I eat too many of them. The first few days of the diet were a little painful, but it’s fine now. One thing I read about recently was how carb consumption spurs more carb consumption. I really didn’t realize until I watched for this. It’s true. At least for me.
Well, that’s it for today, folks! Have a great Friday!
Until next time…

Happy Tuesday readers!
Before I provide you my workout routine for today, I wanted to discuss a very important concept when working through a workout routine – flexibility. Today, I had a doctor’s appointment (annual physical), a friend of my parents was visiting out of town, and it threw a wrench in my workout schedule. What to do?
First, when you are selecting a gym, make sure it is open 24 hours a day. Luckily for me, both of the gyms I am a member of are. Second, particularly if you are doing two-a-day workouts like I am, is to merely adjust the workouts. Today, in light of my schedule, I combined the weight routine and both cardio workouts into one large session. I wouldn’t recommend doing this all the time, but when necessary, you do what you have to, to knock out the workout.
Selecting a Gym
Depending on where you live and the choices you have, I would recommend a few criteria:
That’s it for today folks. Workout below:
150 twisters
Under grip pull down 100×12; 120×10; 140×10; 160×10;
Wide grip pull down 100×12; 120×12; 120×12;
Seated rows 100×15; 120×15; 140×12;
Vbar pull downs 100×10; 120×10; 140×10
Alt dumbbell curl 20×10; 25×12; 30×12; 35×12;
One arm preacher dumbbell curl 20×10; 25×12; 30×13; 35×9;
Spider curl 30×15; 40×15 (rest pause); 40×11
150 twisters
20 minutes cardio x 2 fat loss
I hope all of you had a terrific Tuesday!
See you tomorrow.

Cardio, Hamstrings, Hill program, Quadriceps, Superset, Treadmill
Happy Sunday all!
Today’s workout was a leg workout, focusing on the quadriceps (front of your leg) and the hamstrings (back of leg). Supersets were the strategy today. A superset is an exercise strategy that involves working out two antagonistic muscle groups. This workout was composed of two supersets. The first was the leg extension and seated leg curl. The second is the hack squat and standing leg curl. Seems like an easy one right? The challenge with this workout is the combination of high reps per set and pushing two sets together without rest.
This is a terrific strategy to achieve muscle hypertrophy while taxing the nervous and circulatory systems.
Today’s Workout
Legs
Superset 1
Hack squat 0x50; 20×50; 40×50; 60×50
Single leg curl standing. 10×20; 20×20; 20×20; 20×20
Superset 2
Leg extension 90×20; 110×20; 130×20; 150×20
Seated leg curl 50×15; 70×15; 90×15; 110×15
20 minutes treadmill Hill program level 5
20 minutes treadmill Hill program level 7 (This will be done in approximately 4-6 hours to allow for some recovery)
See you tomorrow!
