My workout program is geared towards being a student and a Dad who takes care of his son when mommy works. I do 8 min Abs every single day, even when I don't do a weight routine for abs that day, or even if I did the day before and I'm sore. It's a great basic core workout and takes no time in your day. For those of you who suffer from chronic heartburn and you're overweight, if you do 8 min abs every day for two weeks, this will make your heartburt start to go away.
If I can't get out of the house to do cardio, I do Shaleen's Turbo Jam fat burn. Trust me, it's not Jane Fonda's Aerobics.
When I can get into the gym, I either do the elyptical machine or the exercise bike on some medium difficulty, usually doing some kind of a hill climb and I workout for around 45-90 mins, depending on how I feel and how much time I have.
My weight routine is pretty basic. My body is divided into three sections, Upper, Core, Lower body. I try to work them at least once a week, twice if I can. If I need to skip it's usually the Core workout I skip (since we're doing 8 min abs every day we can do that!) I do five sets of two different exercizes per muscle group.
I stretch every day. When I go to the store I park a long way away, I walk to all of my classes. If I'm sitting on the floor with my little guy watching T.V. I'll do pushups or sit-ups (yes, the old-fashioned ones, we did plenty of crunches with 8 min. abs). If I'm bored during a study session, I'll do 100 reps/arm of a light-weight dumbell curl.
All in all, I ALWAYS try to be doing something. If I'm sitting in class, I'll do some atlas exercizes, tighten up glutes or abs for a count of 25, stuff like that. |
