My Work Out

[The Kizzy]

This plan has worked for me, so thought I would share it with you.

Sun-Sat. First thing when I roll out of bed, I do 20 sets of the following:

Toe touches, I turn at the waist and touch my left hand to my right foot, and vice versa

Squats, Arms out then squat to about sitting level, arms back on hips, and stand up

crunches, hard not to use momentum or try to do a sit up, but it is important to do these correctly

bicycle kicks-hands laced behind my head right elbow touching left knee and kicking outward and up like riding a bicycle.

It is important to breathe when doing these excercises, and also to flex the tummy muscle. it helps tone it.

Remember, if you aren't sore, then it isnt working.

Mondays and Wednesdays, I don't get to the gym, so I make use of what is available to me at the college. I run 12 flights of steps every Monday and Wednesday. I know it isn't as much as I do the other days, but its better than taking the elevator, and as I said before, I have to make use of what I can when I can't make it into the gym.

Tuesdays and Fridays I do 20 minutes on the treadmill the first 5 minutes I do 3 mph, then 10 minutes of 3.5mph and the last 5 of 4mph, and then hit the circuit sprint room. This room has machines for every muscle group, and I don't use so much weight that I can barely handle it, I use just enough to feel the burn after about the 10th or 11th rep on each machine. I then cool down with another 10-15 minutes on the treadmill at 3mph.

Thursdays I do 45 minutes of straight cardio on the treadmill gradually increasing my speed, then I do a 15 minute hydro massage (OMG it works wonders)

Every other Saturday I work with my trainer for 30-45 minutes and Every other Sunday its mostly the treadmill and some free weights.

I can not tell you guys how much better I look and feel, I have insane amounts of energy, and its a great stress reliever. I can promise you I used to be the laziest person in the world, but now, I feel great!!!

Feel free to pick my workout apart if you see something I might be doing wrong.

"Remember, if you aren't sore, then it isnt working. "

my 2cp -
That is a myth...

Sometimes soreness will not be experienced at all especially if you have been working out for a while. That does not always mean it isn't working. Also, sometimes it takes a few days for you to actually feel sore aka DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) As long as you are consistent, using proper forum, and increasing the resistance or changing up the exercises to keep your body guessing every few weeks you should be ok.
