Daily Workout - Legs in home Gym

I did legs today but made sure to keep things light! The last thing I want to do is hurt my back again :(

It went pretty good, just made sure not to overdue it. It was a hot one today so I have to take my time in-between sets to make sure I didn't get to hot.

  • Elliptical Warmup - 10 Minutes.
  • Squats with Smith machine (Light).
  • Calf Raises: with Smith machine (Light).
  • Leg Extensions: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Leg Curls: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Misc. lower body stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour done in my home gym.

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!)

  • Warmup: Punching Bag for 10 minutes (Punches & Kicks).
  • Squats with Smith machine.
  • Calf Raises: with Smith machine.
  • Leg Extensions: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Leg Curls: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Misc. lower body stretching.
  • Abs: Roller Wheel Extension.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Cardio and Legs in Home Gym

Sorry - No picture today! Todays workout was another one I just didn't feel much like doing, so I used the old "I'll just do a quick 10 minutes of cardio". For some reason once you get started, carrying on with the rest of the workout isn't so hard.

So if you don't feel much like doing a workout, tell yourself you will just do a quick one and more than likely you will end up doing the entire workout!

  • Elliptical Warmup - 10 Minutes.
  • Squats with Smith machine.
  • Calf Raises: with Smith machine.
  • Leg Extensions: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Leg Curls: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Misc. lower body stretching.
  • Abs: Total Gym Side Twists.

Total workout time: About 1 hour done in my home gym.

Daily Workout - Abs & Legs in Home Gym

 

I do some Abs with just about every workout but I don't really headline them since they usually only take me at the most about five minutes. I usually do them at the end of every workout. I mix it up by doing Crunches one day, and Leg Raises another. Some days I use the Total Gym to do my Abs or I may use a roller to do some floor stretch-outs. The point is to keep mixing it up and do a bit each day. Abs is one muscle group that you can do every day of the week if you want to.

So today I kept it simple and did some basic crunches - 100 in all and that was enough! But before I did a Leg Workout. Oh yah, I did another split workout day today, in the morning for my Cardio I hit the punching bag for 10 minutes - it's a great cardio workout if you keep busy.

  • Morning Punching Bag - 10 Minutes.
  • Squats with Smith machine.
  • Calf Raises: with Smith machine.
  • Leg Extensions: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Leg Curls: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Abs: Crunches.
  • Misc. lower body stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour done in my home gym.
