Daily Workout - Legs at Fitness World

I stopped by the Gym today with the family, Fitness World has a day care and it gives my Wife and I a chance to do a workout together every once in a while - hard to do at home. The kids like the day care as there are lots of other kids and games to play so it works out good for everyone!

Fitness Worlds is a great place to do a leg workout, they have lots of equipment for legs.

  • Squats with Squat Machine.
  • Calf Raises with Seated Calf Machine.
  • Leg Extensions with Universal Leg Extension Machine.
  • Leg Curls with Universal Leg Curl Machine.
  • Abs: Twist Crunches on inverted Ab bench.

Daily Workout - Shoulders and Arms with Total Gym

I Skipped the Elliptical warmup today and did my Shoulders and Arms on the Total Gym, I also got some Abs in at the end. So far everything is back on track, I'm not trying to overdo it after a few weeks off form my Maui trip. There is also nothing for me to be really that motivated for as it's the dead of winter here and having a few extra pounds just keeps me warmer :)

  • Total Gym - Reverse Shoulder Raises (Lying on Back Upside-down).
  • Total Gym - Seated Shoulder Raises (Front to Back).
  • Total Gym - Front Seated Shoulder Raises.
  • Barbells - Shrugs.
  • Biceps: Lying Down Curls with Total Gym. (3 Sets with an increase in the incline each time)
  • Barbell Curls - (1 big set)
  • Triceps: Seated Overhead Extension with the Total Gym.
  • Triceps: Lying Down Extension with the Total Gym.
  • Triceps: Rear Extension with the Total Gym.
  • Abs: Misc crunches and leg raises.
  • Misc. Stretching.

  • Total workout time: About 1 hour.

    What a difference a week can make!

    I say this not so much in fitness terms but more in how I feel about working out or really just doing anything. The weather here in the Vancouver Canada area is turning very wintery all of a sudden and that combined with me being in Maui not even a week ago is a bit of a drastic change for me... I think many people find a lack of drive or motivation in the Winter months and I am no exception!

    To make my point, the following two photos I shot consecutively on my iPhone about a week apart from each other:

    I'm not making excuses, I did do a workout today and I felt pretty good doing it. I got in some Elliptical as my warmup and I did some Back on the trusty Total Gym along with some lower body stretching. About an hour or so in all.

    I snapped a quick photo of the Post Maui Abs thinking that they may not make it onto the blog but they turned out OK. Maybe all the Maui drinking and eating didn't take as much of a toll on me as I thought!

    I went to Fitness World with my wife today, we are both trying to get some final workouts in before we head off to Hawaii!!! It has been a hard month for me, traveling a bit, several parties to attend and now all this Halloween candy around. I could have done better as far as leaning up but I did manage to put on some muscle over the last month...

    Today we did Back and Shoulder, it's nice to use other equipment than what I have in my home gym for a change up!

    • Back - Wide Pull Downs with Universal Machine.
    • Back - Narrow Pull Downs with Universal Machine.
    • Back - Seated Rows with Universal Machine.
    • Shoulders - Military press with Universal Machine.
    • Shoulders - Dumbbell Raises (Front, Side, Behind).
    • Shoulders - Upright Rows with Universal Machine.
    • Shoulders - Shrugs with Universal Machine and Dumbbells.
