Weekly Workout Schedule

January 25, 2016 Leave a Comment

Happy Motivation Monday, everybody!

I’ve been working out consistently enough the last few months and because of this I have finally perfected my daily workout schedule. I have attempted multiple workout schedules and none of them ever really seem to fit me exactly. Instead, I decided to take the workouts from the multiple workout plans that were beneficial to me, as well as, add in a few challenging and effective exercises I have used in past experiences. After doing this schedule for a while I’m positive I will stick to this workout plan because, I love it! As I get more lean and strong I will adjust the reps and weight. However, I am not trying to get “bulky” from the lifting so instead of lifting extremely heavy for shorter reps, I will increase the reps in addition to the weight, but at a slower pace. Here is a day by day breakdown of the exercises I have been using:

Monday:

30+ minutes cardio

Jumping Jacks – 10

Push-ups – 10

Mountain Climbers – 10

Burpees – 10

*Repeat 3x with 2 minute break in between*

-cool down stretch- 

Tuesday:

15 minutes cardio warm-up

Squats – 3×10

Dumbbell Lunge-Curl – 3×10

Jump Squats – 3×10

Deadlift – 3×10

Kettlebell Sumo Squat – 3×10

Russian Twists – 3×15

Lying Leg Raise – 3×15

10 minutes elliptical cool down

-cool down stretch-

Wednesday:

30+ minutes cardio

Tricep Dips – 3×10

Lateral Pull Downs – 3×10

Dumbbell Curls – 3×10

Dumbbell Flys – 3×10

Tricep Push Backs – 3×10

-cool down stretch-

Thursday (machines day):

15 minutes cardio warm up

Leg Press – 3×10

Leg Curls – 3×10

Leg Extensions – 3×10

Calf Extension – 3×10

Hip Abductor – 3×10

Hip Adductor – 3×10

Rotary Torso – 3×15

Weighted Abdominal Crunch – 3×15

-cool down stretch-

Friday:

1 hour cardio

-cool down stretch-

Saturday (optional):

20+ minutes HIIT (can use Monday’s workout by adding 2-3 more rounds)

7 minute abs (look up 7 different crunch positions if you don’t know seven)

Sunday:

OFF DAY

-be sure to do plenty of stretching-

Most of these workouts require lifting weights, and I advise starting off light, and increasing to your desired weight. Your body will let you know what is too much and what is too light. Also, feel free to alter these workouts to your liking. You may want to concentrate on a different part of your body and decide to switch things around or completely swap them out all together. Either way, make it fun, so that you want to return to the gym each day!

Have a great evening! 🙂

My Crazy Life Schedule

February 2, 2015 Leave a Comment

Being a stay at home Mommy has been so much fun so far. As much fun as it has been, it has also been exhausting. Exhausting in the sense of not having enough hours in the day to party it up with the little one, and still find time to be super woman and do everything in the house I planned to do the day before. Don’t get me wrong, I have A LOT more time to do housework now that I am not working outside of the home anymore. But, GEEZ does the day fly by. The load of laundry, sink of dishes, and vacuuming I wanted to do probably didn’t get done. Well, I usually get 1 of the 3 done each day. So what I decided to do was make a schedule to help keep me on track. It is a “daily, weekly, and monthly” schedule to see if it would help bring some order to my life.

Oh-my-goodness. Why did it take me so long to come up with this idea?! Now that I have a daily breakdown of what needs to be done, spaced out over an entire weeks time-frame, I stay on track and get SO much more done around the house. The best part is, I still get to spend so much time with Jordyn while feeling productive in the process. It’s a win-win situation. I figured I would share what my schedule looks like just in case you want to give the idea a try yourself. You may not be busy with a baby at home, but the craziness of school, work, and everyday life makes life just as hectic.

P.S.- this was just another way for me to make a list I can cross things off of. You know, since I’m addicted to lists 🙂

Daily:

  • make bed
  • load dishwasher
  • prep dinner

Weekly:

Monday-

  • 2 Loads of Laundry (Jordyn’s clothes & Dark colors)
  • Meal Prep (Monday-Thursday)

Tuesday-

  • Vacuum
  • Blog

Wednesday-

  • Clean Ares’ room
  • Miscellanous (sweep/dust/shine)

Thursday-

  • 2 Loads of Laundry (Jordyn’s clothes & Light colors)
  • Collect trash for trash day (tomorrow)

Friday-

  • Vacuum
  • Meal Prep (Friday-Monday)
  • Blog

Saturday-

  • Clean Bathrooms
  • Load of Laundry (white clothes)

Sunday-

  • MY DAY OFF 🙂

Monthly:

  • Shampoo Carpet
  • Deep Clean Fridge
  • Yard Work
