I have had quite a few people reach out to me asking what my workout routine looks like during the week. Well let’s talk about it then 😊
I work different muscle groups on different days of the week. This allows me to tire out that muscle group and get proper recovery time after.
Warming up for 5 minutes on the elliptical is my go to before starting my routine for the day. Doing so gets the blood moving and wakes up my brain and muscles. Especially since I am rolling out of bed and heading to the gym. I’m a mess in the morning ha!
After warmup I jump into this routine;
Romanian Deadlifts – 3 sets – 8-10 reps
Leg Press – 3 sets – 8-10 reps
Leg Curls – 3 sets – 8-10 reps
Split Squats – 3 sets – 8-10 reps
Calf raises (Standing) – 3 sets – 8-10 reps
The important part, and what I have to remind myself at times, is to not pay so much attention to the count, but pushing myself by increasing weights and slower reps to get the benefit of the exercise. I struggle sometimes when I get to a weight that becomes comfortable and I just don’t push myself to go to the next level.
Find something that works for you and pushes you when needed . There will be days when you don’t feel it and that’s okay.
Be kind to yourself.
