Hey, folks!

I’m still working through the Labrada trainer. All-systems go!

This week, my Dad will join me in the gym. He’s 82, but he needs the extra exercise now that he has completed his physical therapy. He has improved dramatically and his balance is better than it was at the start.

He’ll join me on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Mom. The rest of the week, I’ll be hitting it on my own.

Same schedule as before:

• Mon – Wed – Fri – Upper Body
• Tue – Thu – Sat – Lower Body
• Sunday – Rest day (Do nothing day)

Have a great week!!

See you at the finish line…

Dave

Daily Ramblings – Workout Routine – Week of Nov 24

Tags

Cardio, Circuit Training, Exercise Bands, Gym workout, Home Workout, Machines, Weights

It’s a holiday week, but no matter. I’ve perfected a home workout routine that helps me hit my daily cardio goals and my strength training goals, so no break in the workout routine. I’ll be taking the day off on my other things on Wed and Thursday for Thanksgiving, but the rest of the week will be usual work days.

Here’s my routine for the week:

Mon – Saturday

Cardio 20 minutes (elliptical 1, elliptical 2, treadmill, bicycle, or stair stepper)

Full body weight machine circuit (legs, abs, lower back, obliques, back, chest, triceps, biceps, shoulders, and calves)

I’ll be using a new routine based on a book I just read called Elastic Habits. Whatever routine I use, will be dependent on energy levels, etc.

• basic routine 1 round of the circuit above | Home workout – same except using exercise bands
• plus routine 3 rounds of the circuit above | Same
• elite routine 5 rounds of the circuit above | Same

On Wednesday and Thursday, I’ll be doing home workouts with my exercise bands and do my HIIT training doing either Tabata training or stair stepping to get the heart pumping.

See you at the finish line!

Daily Ramblings – Workout Routine – Getting Back to the Gym!

I got the feeling it was pretty boring reading my workout everyday, so I’ve opted to put down my schedule for the week. Feel free to use this for yourself if you are so inclined. This is what I’ll be doing this week, as I head back to the gym. It is a very basic workout, but one that will slowly get my body used to moving some weights. I’ve been out of the gym and doing home workouts everyday to get my habit back, after some inconsistent exercise warned me that I had lost the exercise habit.

Now that the habit is back, it’s time to start crushing the metal again.

Here’s my workout schedule this week:

Tuesday – Thursday – Saturday

• 20 minutes Cardio
• Leg Press 3 x 15
• Bench Press 3 x 15
• Seated Cable Row 3 x 15
• Dumbbell Shoulder Press 3 x 15
• Barbell Curl 3 x 15
• Triceps Press down 3 x 15
• Standing Calf Raise 3 x 15
• Crunch 3 x 15

Wednesday – Friday

• Walk 20 minutes
• Pilates

See you at the finish line!
