My favorite day is Shoulder Day! I think it dates back to my days on swim team because it was crucial to have strong shoulders as a swimmer. Here is one of my favorite shoulder workouts. I typically do shoulders on Monday and pair it with a strong ab workout and high intensity cardio of course!
Here are my workouts for this week. I always start my workout with a high-intensity elliptical workout. You’ll notice that I don’t have abs listed on any of these workouts, but I usually try to add some planks every other day and change it up with different workouts. However, real abs are made in the kitchen!!
Sometimes I get tired of lifting heavy weights and doing the same routine, so I like to switch it up. Using your own body weight can be just as beneficial as lifting weight. This Lower Body Blast will make your booty cry. I always like to start out with doing some cardio on the elliptical on the bike – it helps me to stay sane by getting some “me” time and watching the Today show will getting my heart rate up.
To keep me accountable, I’ll post my workouts from the past week on Friday. Here goes…
