My Tuesday Fun Day

Whats up everyone! So, its been a little hectic lately, so today to show you guys I workout just as hard as I make you guys and my clients do, I'm giving you a taste of what my personal workouts look like. I switch my workouts up alot, but they usually follow a theme or focus on whatever body parts I need strengthened. Since I will be climbing Mt. Rainier in a couple of months, most of my workouts have been geared toward strengthening my whole body, but especially my legs, shoulders and back, and building up my endurance.
This morning I did Hill Intervals on the Treadmill for 40 min. Usually I start out at about 4.0-4.2 speed and 4% incline to warm up for 5 min then every 5 min Ill move up 2% till I get to 12% incline then Ill alternate between 10% and 12% for the remainder of the time.

This evening I did a timed interval focusing on legs and chest:
I try to complete as many rounds as I can in 20 min. This was the first time Ive done this workout and I did 3 sets with amazingly perfect form. :)
10 reps-Medicine ball cross over pushups
10 reps-60 lb Barbell Front Squats
10 reps each leg-Step ups onto workout bench with 55lb backpack
10 reps-Decline Pushups of bench w/ alternating knee to elbow
20 reps-Mtn Climbers(each time your right foot comes forward is one rep)
10 reps-Burpee dropdown to surfer get up and staggered hop(alt bringing a different foot forward with each rep)
15 reps-reverse crunches

Then I stretch out for ten minutes, grab a drink or what not and I finish up my workout with 20 min of Sprint intervals on the treadmill. Going all out for 40 sec and resting for 1 min.

So there you have it, my awesome workout. Do you have to workout this way to get results? No. I push myself pretty hard and this is what works for me. As long as you find something you enjoy and stick with it you'll get results. I mean really stick with it too. Don't go for a walk once a week and wonder why you are not getting results. Really push yourself. Everyone has a different level. If you arent able to lift weights, do body weight squats, pushups of the counter or crunches on the ground. Body weight exercises are even excellent for people who are already in descent shape. I can think of dozens of ways to manipulate an exercise to make it more difficult. Don't be afraid to get up and workout. This is your year to get in shape, take advantage of it while you still have a chance too!
