Full Body Circuit

This week I'll be trying something new. I'm in a program to become a spin instructor (recently became a Schwinn certified) and will be doing a lot of cycling. I don't want to over-train my body so I'm starting 25-30 minute full body workouts. This is what I did today: Overhead squats (25lb plate) x 12 reps Reverse crunches x 15 reps Deep prayer squats (body weight only) x 12 Dumbbell back flys x 12 Upright row x 12 Dumbbell chest press x 12 Repeat 3x There's no need to rest between sets since you're utilizing different muscle groups, but I definitely needed a breather after each circuit. This will kick your butt! Simple, quick and effective.

CHEST & TRICEPS

There are two ways you can do this routine, the first is by first doing all of the chest exercises back to back and then doing the tricep exercises, or you can circuit train (turning this into a metabolic workout) by doing chest-triceps-abs and circling back around with minimal rest inbetween. You can add plank with spider-crawl for abs/obliques to really tear your shit up.

Incline Dumbbell Chest Press 12 reps, 3 sets, 90 sec. rest 

Pectoral (Chest) Fly 12 reps, 3 sets, 90 sec. rest

Dumbbell Chest Press 10-12 reps,  3 sets, 90 sec. rest

Skullcrushers 8 reps, 4 sets, 90 sec. rest

Dumbbell Overhead Extension 12 reps, 3 sets, 90 sec. rest

Tricep Kickbacks 12 reps, 3 sets, 60 sec. rest

The left was taken 8/15/13 and the right taken today. It's amazing what is possible when you change your lifestyle. I stopped exercising and I started training, I stopped dieting and I started eating for my goals, I stopped crying about not getting results and I trusted the process. I'm not done yet, but it's a lifestyle.

Teaching my nephews how to deadlift. Too exhausted from two-a-days to have a proper leg day, but at least I get to pass on a bit of technique.

Simplicity is key. Sweet potato, grilled zucchini and chicken.
