I worked out my abs again today but for this workout I did things a bit different, i wanted to reduce the amount of brakes I took so instead of doing 1 workout and then taking a break I tried to do 3 and then take a break. As usual I did one set of abs workout until failure but this time 3 before taking a brake. I started with (flutter kicks, butterfly reverse crunch’s, Russian twists) then a 1 minuet brake then (hip lifts, toe reaches, sitting cross punches) then 1 minuet brake then (alternating leg raises, crunches, leg circles) then 1 min break then (negative crunches, plank t rotations, cross mountain climbers) finally I finished of with 2 min of jumping jakes. Over all, my entire workout was 20 minutes and the intensity was crazy, it was very challenging to do 3 consecutive workouts until failure without taking a break. After all that I finished off the workout with cardio that absolutely destroyed me.

  This is my second abs workout this week. I did a 15 minuet workout with a minuet for every workout and then a few minutes of rest in between. For this workout I want to primarily focus on my lower abs since they are the only ones that aren’t showing. I started my workout by doing one minute of figure 8’s, then one minute of hands back raises, then twisting pistons for one minute, then one minute of seated app curls (counter clockwise), and another set clockwise and I finished off with scissor kicks for a minuet. This workout was incredibly intense, I had to stop throughout the one minute since my abs were hurting too much. My bottom abs I guess are the least developed and because that caused me to have the hardest time.

For my scheduled Wednesday workout session with my trainer we decided to focus on chest and back but still incorporate an entire full body workout. We started the work out with bench press three sets for 10 to 6 reps. For my first set I did 95 lbs then my next set I did 105 lbs and I finished with another set of 95 lbs. we then moved on to do three separate workouts completely dedicated to back and shoulders. We started off with back rows on a machine for three sets of 10 reps. We then moved on to lat pull downs for three sets of 10 reps and finished off with shoulder press for three sets of 10 reps. Each one of these exercises were done with 95 lbs. In between a complet set of these 3 exercises I did 20 sit ups with  A 25 pound weight, and total three sets were done for 20 reps. After my back and abdomen were complete we moved onto legs by doing farmers deadlifts for three sets of 10-15 reps. For my first set I did 135 pounds and for the next 2 I did 195 lbs. I finished out my tra...

  This was my second workout at my gym with my trainer this week but this time it was with my family. we did this workout right after my last workout. We started at 7:30 and finished at 8:30. We started the workout with the bike to increase heart rate, we then started to warm up our shoulders by using the RTX since we were focusing on shoulders, legs and core today. The first workout we did was dumbbell shoulder press with dumbbell shrugs 3x10.We then used the shoulder press machine and combined that exercise with core raises combined with a Russian twist (with 25 lbs). Then we combined core and shoulders together by holding a banana hold as we used a dumbbell to raise over our heads 3x10. We then proceeded to do squats (bar=45 lbs, each plate=25 lbs) and deadlifts (bar 45 lbs, each plate 45 lbs) 3x10. In total this week i have worked out fro 2 hours and 50 min this means that i did 2.0 in extra of workouts.
