Daily Workout - Abs & Legs in Home Gym

 

I do some Abs with just about every workout but I don't really headline them since they usually only take me at the most about five minutes. I usually do them at the end of every workout. I mix it up by doing Crunches one day, and Leg Raises another. Some days I use the Total Gym to do my Abs or I may use a roller to do some floor stretch-outs. The point is to keep mixing it up and do a bit each day. Abs is one muscle group that you can do every day of the week if you want to.

So today I kept it simple and did some basic crunches - 100 in all and that was enough! But before I did a Leg Workout. Oh yah, I did another split workout day today, in the morning for my Cardio I hit the punching bag for 10 minutes - it's a great cardio workout if you keep busy.

  • Morning Punching Bag - 10 Minutes.
  • Squats with Smith machine.
  • Calf Raises: with Smith machine.
  • Leg Extensions: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Leg Curls: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Abs: Crunches.
  • Misc. lower body stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour done in my home gym.

Daily Workout - Shoulders with Barbells in Home Gym

I took Sunday off and feel rested today, my shoulders felt really good and I went a bit heavier today with the barbells but still took it slow and started out light.

It's strange but some days even though I am working out with exactly the same amount of intensity, I find myself generating a ton of heat. Not only do "I" feel warm but the little room that I workout in gets really warm from my body heat, I know this because when I leave my workout room, the rest of the house feels very cool.

Everyday is different!

  • Warmup: Elliptical for 10 Minutes.
  • Shoulder Press with Barbells.
  • Barbell Shoulder Flies in Three Positions: Forward, Side, Behind.
  • Upright Row Raises with Pulley.
  • Shoulder Shrugs with Smith Machine Straight Bar.
  • Misc. Stretching.
  • Abs: Misc Crunches & Leg Raises.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Sorry no Picture today! But I did make a new video about doing an Upper Body Workout using body weight exercises. I'll have it up in a bit...

  • Narrow Chin-ups - 3 sets of 8-10.
  • Standing bent over rows - 3 sets of 10-12.
