The Plan This Week

Source

Besides running not going as well as I'd hoped, I actually had a pretty successful week last week. I worked out every day but Sunday, and I did (mostly) what I had planned (except for the running).

This week, I'm going to try something different: 2 leg days. Shocking, I know. I feel like I need the work, and I think it's doable.

I'm not even going to attempt to run this week. At all. In fact, if I want to run, I'm going to tell myself "NO", for this week. Maybe after a nice break I'll miss it.

Here's what the week will look like (I'm putting all the exercises down here, mainly so I can look at them later... Days 1-4 are found here.

Monday:
Back/Rear Delts/Abs

1. Wide Grip Pull Ups: 3 sets of 12
2. Cable Pull Downs (Reverse, Close Grip): 3 sets- 15, 12, 10
3. Bent Over Barbell Rows (Underhand Grip): 3 sets- 15, 12, 10
4. Dumbbell Pullover: 3 sets of 12.
5. Dumbbell Reverse Flyes: 3 sets of 12.
6. Full Sit Up on Stability Ball: 3 sets of 30 reps.

5 Minute Ab Circuit
- Reverse Crunch, 30 sec.
- Oblique Crunch Left, 30 sec.
- Oblique Crunch Right, 30 sec.

Repeat.

You're so good at leg day. Also, you're really pretty.

I've done this leg routine the last few weeks, and found last week that I did 2 sets instead of 3, and it was still a 50 minute workout. I may do that again, since I workout on my lunch break. I wish I could spend 2 hours at the gym... but my co-workers and employers might not like it..

Saturday:
Cardio, 45- 60 minuted (Probably Turbofire)

So, that's the plan. I'm going to aim to get up every morning and do very short cardio (Turbofire Hiit, 15/20/25 or 30 minutes) alternated with Turbofire 30 (non-Hiit).

We'll see how it goes.
