This week's workouts 6/9-6/14

You guys. My shorts don't fit me...AGAIN. Literally, this is the third time since, like, September that I've had to buy new shorts because my thighs and my butt are too thick. Usually that wouldn't really be a problem because it's all muscle. But three times?? That's a little excessive. So, I'm still doing legs, but I'm trying to lean out, so you'll see a difference in the routine for leg day! You can find this week's workouts HERE
Have fun!

This week's workouts: 6/2-6/7

You guys. This week was a rough one for me, motivation-wise. For some reason, I found it really difficult to get my butt to the gym once I hit the halfway mark for the week. But, I'm so glad that I did; it was well worth it! This week's workouts were pretty tough, but so good!

Enjoy!!

This week's workouts: 5/26-5/31

Here's the workouts for the week; enjoy!

This week's workouts: 5/19-5/24

Yikes, I know I'm a week late posting any kind of workout...finals are really kicking my butt this semester! But...yay for the fourth week of the blog! (and it's OFFICIALLY summer!)

Here's the week's routine! I really want everyone to focus on the weight that they're using.  Don't worry too much about how many reps you're doing (unless it's less than 6.  If you're doing less than 6 reps, you should probably definitely use slightly less weight). Go heavy this week. Now let's go kick some butt!

May 1, 2014-Treadmill workout!

WOOO, CARDIO!! Just kidding, I really don't like cardio on the treadmill, but what can ya do when it's already 90 degrees at 8:00 in the morning?
Okay, running on a machine really isn't that bad when you're focused on small segments at a time, which is what we'll be doing today-interval workouts, yay!

And if you're still with me...

Abs:
Grab a plate (I'm going to use 25lbs). Standing with the plate in one hand, lean over to the side with the weight, and come back up.  Do this 25 times on each side.

With a 10lb plate, do Russian Twists/Cherry Pickers (like on Tuesday), making sure to touch the weight to the ground with every twist.  Do this 20 times each side.

Bicycles-from a laying position with hands behind your head, bring one knee up to meet the other side's elbow.  By doing this, you're creating another twisting motion with your torso, really working the lower abs as well as the obliques.  Do this 25 times each side.

Toe-touches-lay down with your legs extended directly above your hips, making a 90 degree angle with your body.  Reach your hands up to touch your toes, performing a crunch-like motion.  Do this 25 times.

Hold a 1 minute plank.

Whew, this is going to be a tough workout! Always remember, you can modify any one of my workouts to meet your own needs and levels.

Let me know how this one goes for you!

**EDIT**
Okay, so I tried this today.  Let me just say, I'm NOT in as good of shape as I need to be...clearly.  I also need to start doing the workout BEFORE I write it and expect everyone else to perform it.  I ended up cutting off about 5 minutes, and changing up the time intervals.  The changes are all inserted already.  Sorry, guys!
