***Both of my gyms have closed. I’ll be moving all of my workouts into the home with my exercise bands.*** 

Here’s my routine for the week:

• Monday – Cardio.
• Tuesday – Full body.
• Wednesday – Cardio.
• Thursday – Full body.
• Friday – Cardio.
• Saturday – Full body.

I hope each of you has a great week. If you are in an area where there is a prevalence of cases of the coronavirus, take extra care when you are out and about. If your gym has been closed, you can find some great routines on YouTube and other sources. Do whatever you can to get your exercise in. It’s that important!

Well, here’s to a great week, folks! Happy Monday!

See you at the finish line!

Daily Ramblings – Workout Routine – Week of January 26, 2020

Tags

Cardio, Cutting Edge, healthy living, Planet Fitness, Red Light Therapy, Sauna, weight lifting

Here we go, folks!

This week, we’ll be adding a new addition to the workouts–The Sauna and Red Light Therapy.

Weight days – Cutting Edge and Sauna

Cardio days – Planet Fitness and Red Light Therapy

Mon – Wed – Friday – Full Body Weight Workout and Sauna

Tue – Thu – Saturday – Cardio and Red Light Therapy

There is nothing in the literature that supports or negates anything claimed by red light therapy, but hey, since it’s part of my black membership at Planet Fitness,  why not?

The sauna at Cutting Edge is a no-brainer. It’s on site and part of the amenities offered by the gym. I enjoy the sauna because it cleans out the pores and helps aid muscle soreness.

Well, that’s it folks!

See you at the finish line!

AM:

• 25-minutes cardio, Treadmill, Hill Program

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…

Daily Ramblings – Workout Log – HIIT Cardio

Tags

Cardio, HIIT, Planet Fitness, Treadmill

Happy Saturday, Readers!

Today, I worked out at Planet Fitness to get in my 20 minutes of HIIT cardio. HIIT cardio is dynamic, not static. Static Cardio is doing 20 minutes without any changes to the pace or timing of the exercise. HIIT cardio is moving between high levels of activity followed by a very slow pace to relax. This is done over and over (rinse and repeat) until you hit your goal. HIIT is much more intense, but also more beneficial, particularly if you are looking to burn calories.

I’ve included the above link for your review if you’d like to get a better idea of what I’m talking about. HIIT training isn’t just treadmill, elliptical, or bike workouts. It can also use light weights and bodyweight exercises in your home. The key is high intensity for short duration (1-2 minutes) followed by a rest period of 30 seconds to 1 minute. Not only do these workouts really stress your cardiovascular system, they also help you continue to burn calories after you’ve left the gym.

Today’s workout:

20 minutes HIIT (Hill Routine level 10)

See you tomorrow!
