Hi! I’m a new mom of 3 month old twin boys. Getting back into the gym hasn’t been easy but I’ve been doing it 5/6x a week with my hubby for the past month and a half.

Looking to see what everyone trains everyday at the gym.
Here is my schedule:

Monday:legs/abs
Tuesday:chest/cardio
Wednesday:rest
Thursday:back/abs
Friday:arms/abs
Saturday:shoulders/legs
Sunday:cardio

Currently: 136.6lbs
Goal weight: 111lbs
Height: 5’1”

I’ve been somewhat on the keto diet/high fat/high protein .. Keeping carbs < 12g per day. Consuming 1200 calories.

Any suggestions, input? I would love to hear feedback.

    Why not follow an actual plan?

    Is this a lifting program you are following? I would recommend a structured lifting plan.

    I typically do 3x per week full body, 1x per week glute focus. 1-2 days of cardio. That works best for me.

    Try following a structured plan.

    And consider that unless you’re extremely short, consuming 1200 calories is far too few while exercising and caring for.twins.

    I wouldn’t say 5’1” is considered extremely short... I feel that my energy levels are pretty great consuming this many calories. I also feel more focused. Is that bad?

    This is my weekly lifting schedule. What does your week consist of? I’m looking to see what people do on a day to day basis. Just want to get an idea of what muscle groups people pair up together per day and maybe want to know how many workouts per muscle group do you do?

    M, W, F I do full body with lower focus. So I will do a glute dominant, hamstring/hip dominant, quad dominant, a pull, a press, plus a few glute accessories. Then on Sat or Sun I do higher rep glute focus so a few glute dominant exercises plus accessories. It is similar to a program like Strong Curves.

    On my cardio days I might add an ab workout if I have time.

    My goals are very lower/glute focused so I try to do alot of volume and frequency for those muscle groups.

    In a deficit, I don't do a split. I follow a three day a week full body workout.

    When I'm at maintenance or bulking, I have usually followed PHUL:
    Power Upper
    Power Lower
    Rest
    Hypertrophy Upper
    Hypertrophy Lower

    I do 'a workout routine' which is full body 2 x a week

    I would up calories and add at less half hour run to start after each workout

    I train with a PT 5x week and do what she tells me for those workouts, don't do any other leg work other than in the classes I go to (which she also takes), but I am marathon training and run a lot.

    Upper body I break in to 2 days with a "big" lift that I work in pyramids, steadily increasing the start and finish weights and then accessory work with dumbells
    Monday : I do shoulders (overhead press), biceps and triceps
    Thursday : I do chest (bench)and back
    Wednesday : I do a dedicated core focused workout

    I'm 5'1", weigh 148lb (have maintained that for 18 months, it's a weight I'm happy at and look good at, as my GP says I have more muscle than average) and eat anything from 2000-4000 Calories a day depending on where I am in relation to my long run (I eat more the day before, day of and day after)

    I must admit....my favorite muscle group to exercise is my back. It feels good and responds well.
    I hate doing legs :s
