Setting Goals


Whether they are long or short term goals, make sure you set them.  If your biggest goal is long term, say 6 to 12 months away, consider making some short term goals so you have something to look forward to every month or so.  And remember goals don't always have to be about loosing weight, they could be about strength gains or being able to perform a specific exercise.  The inherent goal to our fitness lifestyle is to be healthy - but making tangible goals is expected.

Today's workout is similar to yesterday.  HIIT style routine -  getting your heart rate pumping with some cardio moves and then using the strength move for some active recovery.  Yesterday we worked our back and biceps, today we will move on to Chest, Triceps and Shoulders.  You will need heavy weights for your chest (10-25lbs), and medium to light weights for your triceps and shoulders (5-10)

Warmup for a few minutes before starting the workout.

Go thru the entire circuit 3x

20 Squat-Lunge Combo
10 Pushups
15 Lying Chest Presses
25 Mountain Climbers
20 Plank Hops over Ball - in plank position, both feet on one side of a ball, jump both feet back and forth over the ball
10 Firefly Pushups
15 Lying Chest Flys - palms face each other, slight bend in the elbows, open and close your arms as if you are 'hugging a tree'
5 Burpees without Pushup
10 Divebomber or "Sexy" Pushups
15 Lying Tricep Extensions or Skull Crushers - lying on back, arms holding dbs up over shoulders, palms face each other, bend at elbows and slowly drop weight to either side of your head, push back up
10 Side Raise
10 Front Raises

TRAIN WITH INTENTION!
