My Workouts For The Week, How About You?

So I haven't really been paying attention to what's going on out there online for workouts lately. I did take a glance at bodyrock, and they are way too commercialized these days for me. I haven't been paying attention to Zuzka at all. I used to find her so inspiring, and I still do, but sometimes she just comes across as so conceited to me I just can't take it. Mind you that's just how she comes across to ME. 

I've been hired by a local fitness company to be their blogger, I do sales for another company, teach fitness classes and take care of my kiddos. I'm exhausted, lol! 

Anyways, thanks Liz and to others for posting workouts. What're you guys up to? 

Here's my workouts for the week. 

Sunday: always off! 
Monday: yoga, handstand and pistol practice (I just can't get these!)
Tuesday: pull-ups, front squats, single leg deadlifts, dumbbell chest press, glute bridges, lateral raises
Wednesday: yoga, handstands, Kettlebell snatches
Thursday: pull-ups, shoulder pressed, elevated Glute bridges, single leg weighted hip thrusters, heavy Kettlebell swings, banded squat leg lifts 
Friday: core work, handstands
Saturday: pull-ups, heavy deadlifts, push-ups, deficit lunges, rows, sumo walks 

There you have it. 

I think I'm on the look out for a new fitness role model and maybe a new yogi one too. 😃

  3. I love reading your blog and everyone who responds. My workout schedule has been: As far as Z, i am really liking the upper body/abs inferno. I am going to take this one seriously as i am curious as what it does for me. I never have been good at arm balances and such and i still suck at pull ups though i am finally getting close to a real chin up. My arms no longer look like sausage arms which run in my family, btw. This is not the only upper body i am doing but i am including it 3 times a week. I am sticking with #1 for another week and taking it slow instead of rushing through them. I really am liking the Metcon workouts for my weight training as unlike you, i need the metabolic effect with my weights. It extremely elevates my depression and i am not naturally thin but gain weight easily and this has been working for me. Though strength focus with BW and weights are becoming more important. Another focus is EasyFlexibility. Since Z introduced the KS stretching, i found their website and love it. Getting my leg behind my head and such is fun! LOL Plus, i am noticing some moves in her Inferno workouts that come from the Handstand program from EasyFlexibility. I don't have their Planche, and headstand, but their may be some stuff from those also. I am curious. Yesterday, i did Inferno#1 and then MetCon for Deadlifts. It was a 20 min Amrap. Pick the reps and weight. I chose 20 reps at 105 lbs. You could chose heavier and less reps. I will eventually. After each set, you run for 400m. I chose 2 minuted of jump rope. Practiced KS stretch and was done. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and workouts!

  4. For the past 6 weeks, my workouts have been:

    Mon: Core + 20-30 minutes cardio
    Tues: 60 minutes cardio
    Wed: Upper body + 20-30 minutes cardio
    Thurs: 60 minutes cardio
    Fri: Total body workout + 20-30 minutes cardio
    Sat: 60 minutes cardio
    Sun: Rest!

    On "cardio only" days I usually do low intensity steady state cardio, or a couple of workouts, usually kickboxing or some sort of bootcamp-style routine. On days where I do cardio with a muscle group, it's some sort of HIIT for half of it, and a more moderate intensity for the rest of the workout.

    I like this style for the most part (it's based off of a program I'm currently following) and will try to keep it up for the next 6 weeks (program is 12 weeks long).

    After I'm done with this program, I don't know what my routine will be! I'm probably going to take a little break from a program-style routine and do more conditioning and HIIT, with a couple of days of moderate interval cardio instead of a full hour, ugh. I will say that throughout my program I've realized how much I don't love cardio like I used to, at least not for an hour at a time! And I used to be the cardio queen, I swear. :)

    Maybe more yoga and strength, and some interval cardio will be my next routine, but we shall see.

  5. My WO Schedule is simple: I do 4-day split. Upper Body-Lower Body-Day Off-Upper Body-Lower Body-Day Offx2 :))) No cardio at all.
