Daily Workout - Shoulders in Home Gym Finally!

I finally got back into the gym today and did a some what long and drawn out shoulder workout. Mostly because it seems like when I take a bunch of days off, it seems hard to really go hard. I find I have to work into it a bit. It was a good workout even though it did take a while!

• Shoulder Press with Barbells.
• Barbell Shoulder Flies in Three Positions: Forward, Side, Behind.
• Upright Row Raises with Pulley.

Total Gym Upper Body Workout Overview

If you have read my other posts, you've probably figured out that I'm a BIG Total Gym fan-boy. Seriously, if I could only have one workout device in my gym, the Total Gym would be it! It's just so diverse, easy to use and quick and easy to get a good workout done in, very little time. And you can build muscle with a Total Gym, maybe not scary muscle but for most of us that isn't the goal. Personally I have excessively used the Total Gym for a three month test period to see if I could actually gain muscle starting from a stage when I had regressed over the holidays. And I was in fact able to put the muscle back on and get in shape just using a ToTal Gym without any other workout gear!

These videos focus on doing a Total Gym upper body workout. It's mainly a quick overview of the Total Gym workout routine that I use in my own home gym. I go over several upper body exercises that I do to workout my Chest, Back, Shoulders, Arms, and Abs. I hope you enjoy it!

Daily Workout - Shoulders with Total Gym in Home Gym

I missed yesterdays workout because I was up at 4am in the morning in order to get to a Rogers Cellular and get in line for an iPhone 4!! And I got one :) I got a 32GB iPhone 4 and it's awesome, well worth the early start to my day. I did end up waiting around at the Rogers store till about 2pm because the activation part took all day, I guess every Rogers store employe was trying to activate iPhone 4's all across the country!

One really nice perk with the iPhone 4 is it has a much better camera so hopefully I will have a bit better photos for you as I usually use my iPhone to take quick photos when I'm in the gym.

So today I am all rested and back in the gym...

Daily Workout - Back, Shoulders & Arms

Today was party day for my Mother-in-law, she turned 65. This is one of the reason I have been so busy around the house cleaning and prepping! I really wanted to get a quick workout in today and I needed to catchup on some exercises I missed the last three days due to all the work around the house...

I managed to get a Back, Shoulders and Arms workout done before I had to get ready for the 65th birthday party.

Below are some photos of the event and the house and yard all the work went into:
