Daily Workout - Arms again at Fitness World

My bank is right beside my Fitness World Gym so it makes for an opertune time to drop by when banking needs to be done.

It brakes up the "in Home" workouts somewhat! As usual I like to start things off with a nice 10 minute warmup, my standard is the tried and true Elliptical but here at Fitness World they have a plethora of cardio gear... Still I like my trusted warmup routine, for me the warmup is just that, a warmup, the faster I get this done the quicker I can get to my main goal - the Strength Workout! I like mixing things up but more so on the weight training side of things. For cardio I'll do the occasional jog but I have to limit jogs or I find I get some joint pain in my legs.

• 10 Minutes Elliptical.
• Biceps: Dumbbell Curls.
• Biceps: Machine Curls.
• Triceps: Macine Extensions.
• Triceps: Pull Downs with Triangle Bar.
• Abs: Side Leg Raises.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Shoulders in Home Gym

Another evening workout. I often find myself working out later in the evening as my days can fill up really fast and it seems like the only time I have is after the kids go to bed and I finish up a few loose ends around the house.

What ever works for you is what's important! I've tried to do early morning workouts but I'm just not a morning person.

• Warmup: Elliptical for 10 Minutes.
• Smith Machine Shoulder Press with Straight Bar.
• Dumbbell Shoulder Flies in Three Positions: Forward, Side, Behind.
• Upright Row Raises with Pulley.
• Shoulder Shrugs with Smith Machine Straight Bar.
• Misc. Stretching.
• Abs: Forward Stretch Rolls.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Back in Home Gym

I took a few days off, after all it was a Holliday (May Day). So now it's back to the grind again, today I'll do a back workout even though I am a bit under the weather.

• 10 Minutes Elliptical.
• Wide Bar Pull Downs (Behind Head).
• Narrow Bar Pull Downs (In Front of Head).
• Seated Rows.
• Abs: Crunches.
• Misc. Stretching

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Chest in Home Gym

Pretty basic workout today, started at 10:30pm. And by the way I am finding myself posting these updates right from my iPhone while I do my elliptical warmup using the Squarespace iPhone App. Seems like a good usage of time!

• Warmup: Eliptical for 10 minutes.
• Bench Press with Dumbells.
• Incline Dumbbell Flies.
• 3 Stage Pushups: Planche, Extended, and Regular.
• Abs: Floor Raises.

Daily Workout - Legs in Home Gym

Early in the day I had some extra time and needed a short break from some work related phone calls so I hit the punching bag for a little over 10 minutes. It's a great way to get a nice overal upper body workout, relieve some stress, and burn around 200 calories off.

 

Today was leg day so for my leg workout I usually start things off with 10 minutes of elliptical, again another quick 200 calories burned up while getting warmed up.

• Squats with Smith machine.
• Calf Raises: with Smith machine.
• Leg Extensions: Bench with leg attachment.
• Leg Curls: Bench with leg attachment.
• Misc. lower body stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour done in my home gym.
