Usually I write down my workout plan before I get to the gym but today I didn't have time and had to figure it out in the changing room. Surprisingly, I had a greatt workout today! Yay to improvisation! Chest, Shoulder, Tris = ARMS DAY 5 min rowing machine chest cable crossover chest press machine lateral/front raise with DB Seated raise to Y-press (here's a picture and where I first saw this move ) - this one is killer, use lighter weights) tricep cable pushdown with straight bar  shoulder upright rows I meant to go home and do 100 pushups and 100 ab wheels and 100 dips on a chair... but those can wait til tmw. Arms have been thoroughly worked out today :) Success!

I love having workout buddies

I'm very "high expectation" when I write down my workouts each time. Meaning, each workout is pretty dang intense. However when I workout by myself, I tend to give myself some leeway and you know, take out some reps here and there. Mebbe a set too... o:) BUT, when I'm working out with friends, I realized they're all amazingly very motivating and are really good at pushing both of us to complete the regimen that I wrote down; no leeway. Maybe... I should take out some workouts beforehand :D JK The workout that really made me sore this week TOTAL BODY WORKOUT : ARM -pushups 4x10 -up-downs 3x15 -dips 4x10 SHOULDERS -pike pushups 4x8 -bent reverse flye 4x12 BACK -pullups 4x8 -cable rows 4x8 BOOTY/LEGS -squats on smith machine 15 20 20 15 -glute kickbacks 3x15 -some squat jumps in between sets ABS/CARDIO -mountain climbers 3x30s -high knees 3x30s I got the inspiration from   http://www.fitbodyhq.com/workouts/beach-ready-body-workout/  and I added ...

Oh this 1st pic isn't me (found it on tumblr). but this 2nd one is! I think it's a little bit of karma playing on me because the day before I snapchat a picture of someone else really sweaty: HEHE I'm so immature and inappropriate :) I mean of course I give major props to this man for working out extremely hard and with absolute dedication, but I couldn't help myself and refrain from not taking a picture :P Here's the workout I did yesterday 4 sets 12-15 reps (superset these three) side plank t-raise vertical db rows db shoulder press Cable flyes side bends with weights Interval cycling 30s to 1 minute turnovers in 20 minutes Funny thing, I didn't plan on doing cable flyes. I actually went to the cables and wanted to try a glute kickback workout.... but I tampered for a bit and it was just not going to happen because there's no wraparound strap to keep the cable steady on my ankle. I even slipped my feet and ankle th...

And I could not wait to get back to the gym. I have gotten fluffier and I think the last time I set foot in a gym was 2-3 weeks ago, while still eating to my heart's content. So once I got to the gym today, I turned on the EDM music and hit it hard! It's already May and summer is not just right on the corner but running towards me. (eh..I'm too lazy to fix that bad boxing... hahah oops) The jump for joy plyo workout is here  http://aestheticdianasaurus.blogspot.com/2013/04/30-minute-workout-routine-that-can-burn.html  it supposedly burns 500 calories.

Shoulders & Abs

Today's regimen was much more successful! I was in the vicinity of my gym because of an errand I had around 8 pm. Grudgingly I headed to the gym because well I was already out and about and didn't want to hear my mom tell me how I'm wasting gas going back and forth and back and forth. 8:30 pm is not so bad as I always assumed it'd be. Granted the zumba class was lined up against the wall but I wasn't interested in doing that. There were less meatheads in the weights section at this time and today the stretching area  was  not full of people! joy! I only really need the 15s, 20s, and 25s and those are included in the stretching area, so I was indeed a happy camper. And I got to to my ab workouts too in peace. Today's workout: Shoulders & Abs -10 mins warmup on the stairmaster 3 sets of 12 -1: seated db shoulder press -2. side lateral raise -3. roman chair lifts -4. plank bosu ball -5. gym ball jackknife -25 min interval cycling workout, rou...
