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.

  For this workout I did a 20 minuit abs blast focusing primarily on my lower abs. I did 2 reps of 4 exercises them being straight arm Russian twists, heel taps, opposite tow retouches and bicycles. The intensity was quite intense since each exercise was done until failure but after each exercise a 15 second brake was taken. I try to do abs at least once a week but I want to try to do them more frequently. 

  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.
