I am shattered! I am really testing myself this week. I cannot begin to describe how much my upper body is hurting . To top it all off I’m living of limited sleep, with the day beginning at 5am.
My training plan is following Muscle and Fitness Hers ‘Training for the holidays’ article by Ava Cowen. And it is tough, none of the exercises are ones which are new to me, e.g. chest press and chest flye I do these weekly. However I usually do one or the other and haven’t ever focused on training one body area per day. It’s only half way through the week and I still have leg, shoulders and abs to go, but I feel like I can already start to feel my body toning up further. I think I will follow this plan for the next couple of weeks and then swap to give my body constant changes!
It’s so easy to get stuck into a routine, and if you’re new to training or weight training, it’s great when you first start because the results are visible a lot quicker! For me, it’s a lot harder and therefore I am constantly challenging myself in different ways and finding different routines, changing the reps or the weight, the speed, or even completely changing my weekly focus.
Over the last few months I have moved from training upper body / lower body on separate days to training all body parts twice a week, to training each body part on different days!
For those of you who do enjoy weight training give it a go, change up your routine, find new exercises! If you do need some training advice a great website to use is Muscle and Fitness hers! I love all the training tips they have and their magazine!
