Daily Workout - Shoulders & Arms with Total Gym

Again, another couple of Total Gym high-rep workouts done over the last few days to get the old body back into the routine :) It's going well and is a good way to get back into the swing of things as I find the Total Gym lets me get in and out of the gym very quickly while still getting a great workout.

It takes me a bit longer to do my Shoulders because for me this is an area I need to work a bit harder to see the results. The Arms portion only takes me about 20 minutes to do. I finished both my Shoulders and Arms workouts off with some Total Gym Ab exercises.

Daily Workout - Chest & Back

Over the last two days I again found some time to get a couple more workouts in, this week again I am using my Total Gym as I want to continue doing higher reps and lower weights at least for another week.

yesterday I got a good chest work in and today I did my back, both days I managed to do some abs too but no cardio. I will start up my card soon enough... Both workouts where about 40 minutes long in all.

Daily Workout - Shoulders and Arms with Total Gym

OK, it's official, I'm back on a roll and feeling good again. I still need to regain some strength and as I found out today "my Cardio". I have been putting off the Cardio for a while during December, no time and poor health has made it hard. Today I did a quick 10 minutes and man was I tired! Granted I pack in about 200 calories burned in the short 10 minutes.

Today I got a good Shoulders and Arms workout in and even did some Stretching and Cardio!

    Daily Workout - I'm Still Alive!

    I'm still alive! I was really sick for a while, every time I thought I was getting better I got worse just after! Well it's been a few days and I'm definitely much better now - enough to do a Chest and Back workout on my Total Gym. The only good part about being deathly ill over the holiday season is that I didn't have a big appetite and so even with all the great food hanging around I still managed to keep off the Christmas pounds.

    I have missed a couple of weeks of workouts and so I imagine it will take a couple of weeks to get back my strength... I plan to keep my next few weeks worth of workouts to high rep low weight routines and then follow it up with a couple weeks of heavy weight low rep routines.

    • Total Gym - Iron Cross (Lying on Back).
    • Total Gym - Seated Bench Press.
    • Total Gym - Seated Flys.
    • Pushups.
    • Total Gym - Seated Wide Row (Various Positions).
    • Total Gym - Seated Narrow Row (Various Positions).
    • Total Gym - Pull Downs (Lying on Back).
    • Total Gym - Abs: Seated Side Twists.
    • Misc. Stretching.

    Total workout time: About 45 minutes.
