Daily Workout - Back in Home Gym

Winter is a bit of a downer, it's dark at around 4pm and my body just wants to really do nothing except take it easy. Even so, you just have to get yourself in the gym and at least do something. I generally put on a few pounds in the winter but the key is to not let it get out of hand, so when spring comes along it only takes a bit to shed the few pounds gained over the winter.

My main goal is to try and keep the muscle on so my metabolism stays higher - so if I only have the energy for weights and not cardio then I just do weights that day! Today was one of those days!

  • Elliptical - I looked at it for 10 seconds!
  • Wide Chin-ups with pulley bar.
  • Narrow Chin-ups with pulley bar.
  • Seated Rows with pulley bar.
  • Abs: Misc Abs - Crunches and Leg Raises.
  • Misc. Stretching

Total workout time: About 45 minutes.
