Daily Workout - Shoulders with Total Gym

The two break from workouts was nice, it gave the old body a bit of a rest. Keeping my two young kids out of harms way while camping was not exactly stress free!

So it is definitely nice to get back home and back to my regular routine, picking up where I left off, today was Shoulder day and my equipment of choice was the Total Gym.

10 Minutes Elliptical.

Total Gym - Seated Shoulder Press.

Total Gym - Reverse Shoulder Raises (Lying on Back Upside-down).

Total Gym - Seated Shoulder Raises (Front to Back).

Total Gym - Front Seated Shoulder Raises.

Total Gym - Abs: Seated Side Twists in Forward Position.

Barbells - Shrugs.

Misc. Stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Chest & Back in Home Gym

I did a bit extra today as I plan to go camping for a few days, tomorrow I hope to do a quick morning MMA workout, then back home to do some last minute work, finish packing and then I'm gone for a few days. I don't think I will have any Internet where I am going but I might get a last minute post in tomorrow before I head out.

Back to todays workout... I'm on the Total Gym cycle again, today I did two body groups, Chest and Back.

Daily Workout - Legs & Punching Bag in Home Gym

OK, today I felt a lot better and thought before my energy level dies down, I'd get in the gym for a workout. Early workouts are also a great time to for me to get some punching bag time in as it tend to make a bit of noise. (Not so good when the kiddies are in bed!)

Daily Workout - Arms Split Workout at Home Gym

 

No, that is not a picture of me! I found it online and kind of liked the artsiness of it. I was working from home today and when I find myself at home, I like to take advantage of it and break up my work and workout day by doing some of my workout in the morning-afternoon and some in the evening.

Today I did my Cardio in the afternoon for a bit of a work break and then after the kids went to bed I did my Arms Workout. I find this a great way to make each shorter section easier while at the same time more intense.

• 10 Minutes Elliptical.
• Biceps: Dumbbell Curls Standing.
• Biceps: Dumbbell Curls Seated.
• Triceps: Seated Overhead Single Dumbbell Extensions.
• Triceps: Pull Downs with Curl Bar.
• Abs: Crunches and Leg Raises.

 Total workout time: About 45 minutes.

Daily Workout - Shoulders at Home Gym

For some reason I found it really hard during my workout to get into it. The workout started out OK, but I simply just lost all my energy about halfway through? I ended up finishing but I had to really take my time with the last half. I'm not really sure what the reason for this was, maybe it was the pizza I ate earlier in the day?

When you're starting out with a training program and you haven't got your body used to it, it can kind of feel the same way for a while (A real lack of energy). But in a relatively short amount of time you will start noticing an overall energy boost!

• 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 1.25 hours.
