People Cray Cray for Cardio + Chest, Tricep, and Shoulder Workout (10/01)

Aloha readers! 

As promised, I am going to share my chest, tricep, and shoulder workout from today. 

If it seems familiar, that is because I am backtracking a little bit and doing my week 1 workouts again :) 

One thing I did change up was incorporating supersets with one compound and one isolating movement, and doing drop sets (KILLER!) 

Something happened today that was quite frustrating and irritating, and I would like to share it with my readers. My school gym is always bombarded with people. During slower times (6-8 am, 10-11am, and later in the evening), the crowd dies down, but there can still be a lot of traffic going around. We also have the gym protocol of signing up for cardio machines. 

However, like most gyms, this is done with an erasable marker on a laminated sheet of paper. That being said, people tend to cross off / erase off names so they can put there name down. That happened to me today. 

Or in this case "yea, no... don't erase my name of the signup sheet" 

The part that irritates me the most is: the girl refused to admit and apologize for erasing my name to begin with, and was subtly accusing me of being the one who erased her name in the first place.  She also claimed that she had booked it at 10 AM (this happened at 3 PM), when in fact the slot was empty when I signed up, and refused to share the machine with me since it was now "double booked". 

I felt so frustrated that I refused to speak to her any further and walked away. People be crazy and want to get their cardio in! What ever happened to gym etiquette? What ever happened to being kind and sharing? I was only going to use it for 10 minutes anyways!

*Thank the lord for the wonderful young lady who allowed me to use her booked elliptical for 10 minutes as she went and did otherwise. *

This was my second time doing cardio this week, and so far I'm quite enjoying it! 

It gives me a great sweat at the end of my session, and since I'm just re-starting I'm keeping them nice and short! 

(It's quite hard to take a photo while going 12+ mph on an elliptical xD) 

I'm looking forward to creating a kick-butt playlist for my cardio sessions the upcoming weeks! Stayed tuned as I plan on sharing that with all of you too! :) 

Cheers!

Online Shopping Haul!

Aloha readers!

My apologies for not getting the Chest, Tricep, Shoulder workout up on my blog as I promised.

I was extremely tired that day, woke up feeling sick the next day, and am still feeling sick today. I even had to stay in bed for almost a whole day to let my body rest and heal.

Anyways, as promised, here is the workout!

For those of you wondering, I am keeping the weights low so I can do higher repetitions, fatigue my muscles, and aid in endurance training rather than focusing on muscle size. My goal is to shed excess body fat, and have toned, lean muscle to show for it! :) 

So as I was laying in bed on Friday, I was bored and decided to do some mindless online shopping :P 

I ended up picking up: 

a cute new coffee mug (I like to believe that a cute mug with coffee in the morning can help start off your day right) 

a new 2015 planner agenda and a fox pen to go with it (I plan on using the planner for my client training times, appointments, and scheduling for writing blocks for nutrition and workout plans) 

a couple books that were recommended that teaches about how to find your drive, and how to work smarter but hypothetically not harder. Very excited to try and make time in my busy busy schedule to read these!

 

Since I'm ill this weekend, I wasn't able to do my legs workout on Friday :( To make up for that, I'll be doing my leg workout on monday, and then doing chest, tricep, and shoulders on Tuesday! 

Stay tuned for my leg workout post! It's going to be killer! 

Cheers!

Workout of the Day: Chest, Tricep, and Shoulders (Week 1)

Aloha! 

Here is my mini meal-prep for today. 

Wednesdays are the loooongest day of my week. I have a class at 10AM, then a class from 12 - 5PM. 

Believe me when I say it's hard to muster the strength and energy to go to the gym right afterwards.

Doesn't stop me from putting on a smile on my face before heading out the door! 

Here's my mini meal-prep of the day: 

Pictured: C4 Pre-workout (fruit punch flavor), Simply Whey Cinnamon Apple Protein Bar, Rice and veggies with fish, Fruits (watermelon, grapes, and mango) 

Not pictured: small container of almond milk, a 5 oz. bison burger with a slice of cheddar cheese, on a kaiser bun with veggies and condiments 

Today's chest, tricep, and shoulders workout is from my 12 week "Strong and Sexy Total Body Transformation" program. Customized and built completely to help me achieve my goals and to fit around my schedule! If you are interested in having a customized workout, such as something like this, please visit my online coaching page for more information! 

I gave this workout a test run last friday, and it left more sore all weekend! This makes me even more excited to get to the gym after a long day of classes to crush my workout! I will post the workout routine later on tonight! 

Cheers!

Workout of the Day: Upper Body Day (06/23)

Aloha!

I hope everyone's Monday has been off to a good start. 

I woke up exhausted from the past week of work, and didn't have much energy or motivation to hit the gym. But I knew that if I kept up with that attitude, I wouldn't ever want to go to the gym. 

So I got into my gym clothes, and went to hit the gym. I only have 2 days off this week from work, so I chose to do a upper body day and a lower body day. This will ensure that I get a balanced workout for the week! 
Today's upper body workout consisted of the following: 

It's my first time doing multiple body parts in one workout altogether, so I'll have to see how I feel tomorrow! I work tomorrow, so the lower body workout will come on Wednesday. Keep an eye out for that! 
Cheers!

Workout of the Day: Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps (02/22)

Dumbbell flys are one of my "love-hate" chest exercises. I really like

them because I can really feel the chest muscles working and the burn

when I'm doing it. However, I usually end up being extremely sore in 

the pecs for the next couple days :P 

This workout is a glimpse at the many other different workouts 

that are in my Monthly Downloadable Workout Plan.

Workout of the Day: Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps (02/14)

Happy Valentines Day! 

Just because you plan on spending some time with your 

significant other, or buying some chocolate and ice cream 

and watch RomComs by yourself, doesn't mean you can't 

or shouldn't go to the gym today! 

My previous workouts haven't put a whole ton of emphasis

on shoulder exercises, so I wanted to switch things up a bit

for today's workout. More emphasis on shoulders, a bit less 

on the chest.

Downloadable Workout plans! This month's workout contains over 
15 workouts, along with recommended rep ranges, set ranges,
