I managed to get a workout in today while on the road! And I got a lot done, I managed to get a 15 minute elliptical warmup in and then touch on my entire upper body including a full Ab routine. The gym at the hotel I'm staying in is small but has a nice selection of equipment.
I am off to San Francisco for some work I'm doing with my Mac Video Training business. I had some time this morning to do a quick workout, it's hard to get workouts in when on the road doing business even if you plan for it, it sometimes just doesn't happen! Had enough time to do a 10 minute warmup and some arms - biceps and triceps.
I was out and about today so I dropped by Fitness World on my way home and did an Arms Workout. It was a hot day today and they have some great air conditioning. It sure beat doing arms at home!
10 Minutes Elliptical.
Biceps: Dumbbell Curls.
Biceps: Seated Preacher Curls.
Triceps: Overhead Dumbbell Extensions.
Triceps: Dips.
Abs: A bunch of Misc. Crunches, Twists and Extensions...
If you have read my other posts, you've probably figured out that I'm a BIG Total Gym fan-boy. Seriously, if I could only have one workout device in my gym, the Total Gym would be it! It's just so diverse, easy to use and quick and easy to get a good workout done in, very little time. And you can build muscle with a Total Gym, maybe not scary muscle but for most of us that isn't the goal. Personally I have excessively used the Total Gym for a three month test period to see if I could actually gain muscle starting from a stage when I had regressed over the holidays. And I was in fact able to put the muscle back on and get in shape just using a ToTal Gym without any other workout gear!
These videos focus on doing a Total Gym upper body workout. It's mainly a quick overview of the Total Gym workout routine that I use in my own home gym. I go over several upper body exercises that I do to workout my Chest, Back, Shoulders, Arms, and Abs. I hope you enjoy it!
Yesterday was BC day (British Columbia Day) and I spent the day having some fun. I went out with the family to Kawkawa lake near Hope BC, we only spent 4 hours there as we had to come back for dinner with some friends of ours. They are Japanese and they made us some really great authentic food.
So today I was back at the routine and after a day off with much food and drink it was much needed.
