Daily Workout - Shoulders and Arms at Fitness World

I'm probably not going to be able to get to the gym for a couple of days so today I did a bit extra. I went to my local Fitness World and got a full Shoulders and Arms workout in. Afterwards I went home, picked up my wolf-dog and went for a 2 mile Jog. My dog Kiya doesn't get out for jogs with me too often so I think it was harder on him than me :) I ended up pulling him for the last little bit.

• Shoulder Press with Barbells.
• Barbell Shoulder Flies in Three Positions: Forward, Side, Behind.
• Upright Row Raises with Pulley.
• Shoulder Shrugs with Trap Machine.
• Went home and did about a two mile jog.

Total workout time: About 1.5 hours.

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 - Shoulders in Home Gym

I almost didn't make into the gym tonight. I've been really busy working on a video editing project and it seems to be an all day kind of thing... Tonight I had to use the old "trick myself into a workout" - I tell myself I'm only going to do a really quick warm up and maybe just a few sets and then I usually just do the entire workout anyways!

• 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 Dumbbells.
• Misc. Stretching.
• Abs: Misc Leg Raises.

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.
