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.

Daily Workout - Chest in Home Gym

I have been feeling a bit of weight creeping up on me lately, There hasn't been too much yard work to do and I haven't been to my MMA gym for a while as a result of a back injury and then my membership lapsing. Combine that with lots of BBQ's and summer parties that always consist of good food and drinks and it doesn't take long to put on a few extra pounds. And I even watch what I eat for the most part!

So I guess  I'm back to tracking my calories, it's something I do when I feel like I need it, I don't do it all the time just when I notice a bit of extra weight coming on.

Today I did some Chest in my home Gym:

• Warmup: Elliptical.
• Bench Press with Dumbells.
• 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 - Upper Body with Total Gym

It's been a bit of a different week, being away for most of it, sometimes when I don't get my regular workouts in I try to make up for it by doing a workout that hits my entire upper body. It's better than nothing and my hope is not so much to build muscle but to maintain the muscle that I have.

So today I did a fairly intense upper body workout using my Total Gym, it took a bit longer than the usualy workouts I do but I was able to hit my entire upper body, I left out my cardio at the beginning because when I do this type of workout I do it fats and get my cardio workout in while I do my resistance training.

• Misc. Chest exercises with Total Gyms.
• Misc. Back exercises with Total Gyms.
• Misc. Shoulder exercises with Total Gyms.
• Misc. Arm exercises with Total Gyms.
• Misc. Ab exercises with Total Gyms.

Total Workout time: 1.25 hours

Daily Workout - Full Upper Body at Hotel

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.
