28 min run + 15 min workout

Yesterday I did a 28 min run and a 15 min workout consisting of stretches, pushups, glute-bridges, exercise wheel, leg-raises and crunches. The run + workout combination is truly amazing. Al though I can't run everyday, I am going to make it a habit to do at least 15 mins workout after every run. Today I decided to take a rest day due to being extraordinarily tired and sleepy. I will rest today and continue workouts again tomorrow.

30 min workout

Yesterday I did a 30 min workout consisting of stretches, pushups, situps, crunches, leg-raises, glute-bridges, plank and exercise wheel. It was very fast and very intense. The momentum has been good so far and I hope I can maintain this consistently.

32 min run + workout

Yesterday I did a 32 min run and a workout which consisted of stretches, pushups, crunches, plank and the exercise wheel. The wheel was again a very difficult exercise and I think I really need to improve my abs with the wheel since it seems that my abs are very weak. In any case, the + workout combination really made me sweat and I think this combination is the best for anyone planning to get ripped. I will try to do this more in the future.

20 min workout

Yesterday I did a 20 min workout with stretches, pushups, situps, crunches, leg-raises, glute-bridges, plank and exercise wheel. The exercise wheel was surprisingly difficult. I could do only 5 reps. Initially, I did not believe that this was a difficult exercise, but now I have developed a new respect for it and will continue to do it every day. Check out the video I found on Youtube below.

Oh and Happy New Year to all!

30 min workout

Yesterday I did a 30 min workout with stretches, pushups, situps, crunches, leg-raises, glute-bridges and plank. I have been really pushing the limits of my strength this last few days and I'm hopeful to start seeing changes soon. Will keep this blog updated.

30min workout

Today I did a 30 min workout with stretches, pushups, situps, crunches, leg-raises and plank. It was very intense and I didn't slow down during the whole workout. My goal is to do this same routine daily until I reach my goal of being ripped.

Starting back up again

So finally, I have settled down after being on the move for the last few months. Not having a solid place to stay really disrupts the working out routine. I can safely say from experience that even the most dedicated person will find it difficult to work out everyday and stick to a healthy and nutritious diet if he is constantly moving his house or traveling a lot. A fixed schedule for work is an implicit fundamental for a solid consistent workout routine. Maybe that's why there are lots of soccer moms out there with ripped bodies and stories to tell of how they became ripped after having 3 kids. I don't know...it's just that I read about so many moms who have taken to fitness modeling competitions and done it successfully. Anyway, in my case I had to travel a lot in the last few months and my workouts have been very sporadic.

I have started out again this week now that I'm settled, and I managed to do a workout yesterday and the day before yesterday. I will continue with my posts after my workouts as before and hopefully this time, it will be a longer stretch before I have to travel again.
