Original name I know
but I thought it was about time I started this, and timing is good since I've just gotten home from my personal training workout at the gym..
Anyway I'm having difficulties getting to the gym for 1 1/2 hr sessions which is what I was doing before so I got my trainer to design 45 minute sessions for each weekday (shades of BFL here in some ways) - what we decided upon is an upper and a lower body workout with me doing cardio (some interval training twice a week at the gym) plus a walk a couple times per week...
So today we went through the upper body section
Bike 5 minute warm up
Chest Press 3 x 20 reps at level 4
Seated Row 3 x 20 reps at level 4
Shoulder Press 2 x 20 reps at level 2 and 1 x 20 reps at level 1
Lateral Pull Down 2 x 20 reps at level 4 and 1 x 20 reps at level 5
Triceps pull 3 x 20 reps at 18 pounds
Plus some swiss ball exercises for my stomach
2 x 10 alternate arm/leg up each way
2 x 10 both arms up alternate leg each way
alphabet drawn with the bum (this exercise looks so weird but works!)
1-20 drawn with the bum
then some stretches...
So Monday morning, bright and early (ok probably just early
) I will start the program with the upper body, then Tues lower body, Wednesday Interval cardio training (bike), Thursday upper body, Friday lowerbody and Saturday Interval cardio training (bike)
I've taken this a bit from BFL (without the pyramid weight lifting stuff) but the system seems like it should work, and I only have to organise 45 minutes to be in the gym - which I guess when you look at it is better than nothing....
