Motivation and Upper Body Workout
I have been slacking with my updates. Things have been a little crazy these days. However, this is not an excuse for missing my workouts. I wanted to share today’s workout, and maybe motivate my readers to hit the gym!
Today, I focused on biceps, back and abs. This workout took me about an hour, and I burned 512 calories. I did also switch my schedule since I last talked about it. I decided to fit in my workouts during my lunch break.
Fortunately, my job is less than two minutes away from the gym. I want to point out how it is important to find a schedule that fits. When I say that, I mean do not force a time that is not convenient. You will never be able to stick to that schedule.
If you are having a difficult time, schedule the workouts on a calendar. One idea is to treat it like a meeting that you have with someone. In other words, if you had a meeting with someone, you would not show up because you “did not” feel like it. Since the meeting was scheduled, you go because you have already made a commitment.
With that said, here was my workout for the day:
| Exercise | Set | Reps | Muscle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 minute warm-up on the treadmill – walk or jog | |||
| Bent over barbell row (underhand) | 3 | 15 | Back |
| Seated cable row | 3 | 15 | Back |
| Seated good morning with barbell | 3 | 15 | Back |
| Assisted pull ups | 3 | 15 | Back |
| Hammer curl with dumbbells | 3 | 15 | Back |
| Alternate dumbbell curl | 3 | 15 | Biceps |
| Crunches on floor | 3 | 15 | Abs |
| Scissor kick | 3 | 15 | Abs |
| Plank | 3 | 20 secs (timed) | Abs |
| End with 5–10 minutes of stretching | |||
