My new workout program -Mark

Hi again, it's me, Mark,

Here's my workout program for the foreseeable future.  I won't go into the individual exercises now until I can talk about doing them with perfect form...this workout comes from Arnold Schwarzeneggers "Encyclopedia for modern bodybuilding" I borrowed this from my local library then ordered a copy 2 days later.

This book covers everything and its heavy enough to be used as free weights itself!




These workouts are to be done twice a week, therefore 6 days a week with 1 day of proper rest.

Workout 1 (aka Monday+Thursday)
                   
                    Chest, back, abs and 30 mins cardio

Workout 2 (aka Tuesday+Friday)

                    Shoulders, arms, abs and 30 mins cardio

Workout 3 (aka Wednesday+Saturday)

                    Thighs, calves, lower back, abs and 30 mins cardio

This is going to be the hardest workout program I have ever attempted but I will succeed, nothing will stop me achieving what I want.  There will be obstacles but it's how you overcome them will define my success...I can't wait for it to start and it starts from today!

Thanks for reading

My new challenge

Well as I mentioned in my workout programme, I completed a 30 day squat challenge, started at 50 and ended in 250, my plan is to add weight and start it all over again, I had intended on using a kettlebell as my weight and I did start day 1 again today with 8kg, however Ryan one of the owners of my local gym, suggested using the small barbell (which is 10kg), as it will distribute the weight evenly,he also said if I can get up to squatting 250 with the barbell he would be well impressed......

So the challenge is on, as I'm in the gym 3 days I'm going to add it to my workout so it will take longer as I don't have a barbell at home obviously but it's a good challenge I'm happy to take on, I will keep you posted on how I get on wish me luck

My current workout

Hi guys Sarah here,
Thought I would tell you my current workout programme which is a new one, my aim is to be at the gym 4 times a week as I feel that anything less won't be enough to get me where I want to be.
Monday - Rest day
Tuesday - Legs plus Cardio HIIT
Wednesday - Rest day
Thursday - Boxercise
Friday - Shoulders and chest plus Cardio HIIT
Saturday - Rest day
Sunday - Back, traps and abs

On top of this I've been doing a 30 day squat challenge (including on rest days) that I have completed, I can definitely notice my glutes and legs being firmer ask Mark ;) I plan to restart the challenge again but add some weight this time.

Boxercise I only started last Thursday night, but I really enjoyed it 45 mins of hell lol but it was good. I've booked it again for this week so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks for reading
