Daily Workout - Shoulders and Arms at Fitness World

I'm probably not going to be able to get to the gym for a couple of days so today I did a bit extra. I went to my local Fitness World and got a full Shoulders and Arms workout in. Afterwards I went home, picked up my wolf-dog and went for a 2 mile Jog. My dog Kiya doesn't get out for jogs with me too often so I think it was harder on him than me :) I ended up pulling him for the last little bit.

• Shoulder Press with Barbells.
• Barbell Shoulder Flies in Three Positions: Forward, Side, Behind.
• Upright Row Raises with Pulley.
• Shoulder Shrugs with Trap Machine.
• Went home and did about a two mile jog.

Total workout time: About 1.5 hours.

Daily Workout - Back in Home Gym

I skipped my Elliptical cardio again today, my legs are still felling my last Leg Workout. I hope to get some cardio in tomorrow, maybe even a Jog if the weather isn't too bad.

I did get a nice Back Workout and lower body stretch in today.

• Wide Bar Pull Downs (In Front of Head).
• Narrow Bar Pull Downs (In Front of Head).
• Seated Rows.
• Abs: Crunches (100).
• Misc. Stretching

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Chest - Home Gym

My legs are really soar today from my last leg workout, not doing a leg workout for a while really showed! So today I passed on my Elliptical warmup to let my legs recuperate a bit. I did get a nice Chest workout in however and finished up with some extra Abs.

• Warmup: Elliptical.
• Bench Press with Smith Machine.
• Incline Dumbbell Press Flies.
• 3 Stage Pushups: Planche, Extended, and Regular.
• Abs: Mixed Crunches and Leg Raises.
• Misc. Stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Back to Legs in Home Gym

I finally got a Leg workout in! When I get busy and don't have as much time for my workouts, I tend to drop legs. I do this mainly because my legs build muscle very easily and I also get a decent leg workout from all the Elliptical that I do during my warmups... So today I actually did a full-fledged legt workout :)

• Elliptical Warmup - 12 Minutes.
• Squats with Smith Machine.
• Calf Raises with Smith Machine.
• Leg Extensions with Leg Extension attachment.
• Leg Curls with Leg Curl attachment.
• Misc. lower body stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Upper Body with Total Gym

I am definitely pushing through a plateau! It has been really hard lately doing my workouts and being motivated, I have felt tired and week but I have done my best to get into the gym as much as I can. I have been extra busy with work and even though my work is not physical it is fairly mental. A big part of working out is the mental part, so it makes sense that I have been struggling.

I'm still managing to do some maintenance workouts while I get through this phase. Yesterday I got a Chest and Back workout in on my Total Gym and today I got a Shoulders and Arms workout in again with the Total Gym. Both days I did some Abs but I didn't do any dedicated Cardio. Instead I made sure to get my heart rate up using the Total Gym which is easy to do. Both workouts took about 1 hour each.
