Workout of the Day: Chest and Triceps (06/03)

Bikini Booty Summer Body Challenge Workout

I'll be honest with you gals, but it's getting a little hard to continue on with the challenge. No doubt that I haven't been on point with my diet, and this has dramatically affected my results. I haven't been able close to being able to achieve the bikini booty body that I had wished I would have by summer time. 

But I made a list of goals on June 1st, of the things I will do and work towards to achieve by the end of the month. And one of them is to go through with completing the rest of the program workouts, no matter how long it takes and no matter what the results are at the end. 

I'm still working 4 days a week of long long hours, so I'm also falling a little behind on my Fitness Trainer Certification studies as well. It's about time I checked in on how I prioritize my time. Because of that, I apologize for the infrequent posts, but I will do my best to maintain the quality of the posts!

P.S. Killed today's workouts! Going to feel it tomorrow! 

Cheers!

Workout of the Day: Chest and Triceps (05/22)

Bikini Booty Summer Body Challenge - Week 3 Day 4 

Have you ever felt like this? Found yourself comparing yourself to others? 

My friend Emily here couldn't have said it better. Instead of comparing your quality and traits to those of others, use the good you see from others and use it to motivate yourself to do more, do better, and work harder. 

If you constantly compare yourself to others, you will only feel unsatisfied. Why? Because you are you, and they are not you. You should be yourself, and most definitely shouldn't try to be "somebody else". For example, Lauren Gleisberg have been my fitness motivation from Day 1. I admire here for many different things, and some days I really wish I could be her. And some of those days, I feel a little down because I keep asking myself "I'm trying to do everything like her. But why aren't I getting the same results?" 

It took some time for me to realize what was wrong there. And it was that I was trying to be like her, instead of being myself. So now, I try to focus on those good things that I see in Lauren and my other motivations. I remind myself that they all worked hard, worked smart, and rounded up a lot of determination and maybe even some self sacrifices to get to where they are now. And if I want to be healthy, fit, and successful like them, I need to learn to build those skills into my life too. 

So remind yourself that instead of wanting to be someone else because of what they have or what they can do/have done, you want to learn those skills they have to be a better you tomorrow :)  

Cheers!

Workout of the Day: Chest and Triceps (05/15)

Bikini Booty Summer Body Challenge - Week 2 Day 4 

It feels good to be back in the gym! 

I had a needed rest day yesterday. However, I didn't like it very much! It felt weird to wake up later than usual and not going to the gym. But I knew I had to do what is best for my body, and that was to take the day off. Some days will be harder than others, but the important part is to fight through it! 

I took the opportunity to cook up a huge breakfast that was packed with protein to help fuel my muscles. 

Gourmet photo taking skills: None 

Ability to cook up a great breakfast: I got it!  

If you're a follower of my instagram, then you're probably aware that I am currently studying for my personal trainer certifcation. A little update on that is that: it's challenging! There's so much to learn, and the muscle names are extremely hard for me, since I have little human anatomy knowledge. 

But I'm excited that I'm making progress every day (despite the distractions), and that I am getting closer to my goal every day! 

Check back tomorrow for the glute workout routine! Can't wait!

Cheers!

Workout of the Day: Chest and Triceps (05/10)

Bikini Booty Summer Body Challenge Week 1 Day 6

Originally, Chest and Triceps were Day 4's workout. Due to the extra rest time I needed, it got pushed until today. Not a bad thing, considering the gym was realtively empty - especially in the weights area. 

It's been a long time since I got a good Chest and Tricep workout done, and toady I hit a new PR of 17.5 lbs for 10 reps on the flat bench dumbbell press :D 

I'm not one who is crazy for hitting new PR's, but when I do hit a new weight, it sure does feel good. 

This almost makes me wnat to focus more on gaining muscle size and hitting working towards new PR's, but at the moment I shall focus on working towards that Bikini Body and continue on with my current program :) 

Also did 15 minutes of much needed foam rolling for my legs, thighs, and glutes. 

Currently debating over meal prep because I'm so exhausted and I don't have a full load of grocery, yet I know how important it is for me! 

Can't wait to hit up the glutes and abs workout tomorrow - it's going to be killer! 

I will post that workout tomorrow afternoon :)

Enjoy your weekend!

Workout of the Day: 01/27 (Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps)

Happy International Chest Day! 

As much as I wanted to jump onto that bandwagon, I found myself avoiding chest workouts on Monday's. Why? Simply because everyone at the gym was doing it and I could never get to a piece of free equipment fast enough. 

Eventually I gave up and did Chest a different day of the week, but I couldn't help but want to fire up my chest muscles today :D 

High reps with fewer sets gets my heart rate escalated and my muscles burning. 

Definitely going to feel this tomorrow! 

I've got piles and piles of notes to go through plus assignments to complete and hand in. Looks like it's going to be a busy and relatively stressful week ahead! 

But hopefully your week has been off to a great start as well! 

Cheers!
