Upper body workout - using your arms is overrated right?

We went HEAVY today.  Ladies you should know that it isn't such a bad thing to lift heavy!  You are not going to look like Arnie in his hay day if you lift heavy, it's just not going to happen.  We went hard and did the following:

3 sets, 10-14 reps depending

Equipment: Free Weights, Mat, Fit Ball
Location: Home

1. Chest Fly/Press on Ball - we did our heaviest today - 20lbs on the press :)
2. Reverse Fly standing
3. Front/Side Raise - Front, out to the side and down, repeat in opposite direction
4. Static Biceps Curls - One arm stays at 90 degrees while the other arm curls, switch after 7
5. Laying X Triceps Press - Single hand comes down to opposite ear, then up to press - do full set on one arm then switch
6. 21's Biceps
7. Kickbacks

Reverse Fly standing (#2)

It might not look like much, but I am finding it hard to type so we must have fatigued our muscles.... I feel awesome!

Make sure to get your training in this weekend - now more than ever with the holidays amoung us!

Stay healthy!

Planning a week of training!

Mondays are rough for everyone - the worst is when you haven't planned out your week of training. I have found over the years that it is so important to book your training times - life can so easily take over and make fitting in a work out very hard & almost impossible to do. Bring out your day timer and book your workouts in... And feel awesome when Sunday comes along and you can say 'I did all of my workouts!!!' rather than 'I feel like a slug... Should have worked out'. Which would you rather say at the end of this week?

Yours in health!
