Daily Workout - Shoulders & Arms with Total Gym

Again, another couple of Total Gym high-rep workouts done over the last few days to get the old body back into the routine :) It's going well and is a good way to get back into the swing of things as I find the Total Gym lets me get in and out of the gym very quickly while still getting a great workout.

It takes me a bit longer to do my Shoulders because for me this is an area I need to work a bit harder to see the results. The Arms portion only takes me about 20 minutes to do. I finished both my Shoulders and Arms workouts off with some Total Gym Ab exercises.

Daily Workout - Back - Shoulder - Arms

Sorry, I have been really busy and have had no time to post my last few days workout activities... I did manage to find the time to get  Back, Shoulders, and Arms workouts in! All on different days over the last few days.

I have been following a "get back in to it" workout plan that has consisted of lower weights and higher reps. Last week I was using my Total Gym and this week I have been doing free wieghts, mostly dumbbells.

Last 3 Days of Workouts:

  • Back - Bogy weight pull ups (wide grip), Body weight pull ups (narrow grip), Bent over rows with Smith Machine.
  • Shoulders - Dumbbell press, Misc shoulder flies, Upright rows, and Shrugs.
  • Arms - Dumbbell curls (5 sets), Seated triceps press, Standing triceps extension with Smith Machine
  • I did lower body Stretching and some misc. Abs with each workout but I did not do any Cardio.
