I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!

Can anyone recommend a site to get strength training routines? I have a hard time doing it on my own so I need some recommendations on routines in the weight room.

    • stretching for 5-6min(and remember slow and controlled)
    • ball squats w/5lb added dumbbells, 30sec hold-5 -2sec reps
    • leg raises/10 reps(this is on the back lying down hands under the butt back nice and flat) make sure to again go slow it will burn more....
    • elliptical 7min/go hard or go home/int training....you know up, down w/hr/max 180bpm
    • shoulder press/use machine figure out a good weight...not too much you will be doing 15reps
    • back to the beginning/ball squats...etc, etc,, repeat......1-4

    legs/upperbody
    1) ball/wall squats- body weight only-30 sec hold then 5 slow squat reps at 2 sec int, 1sec up, 1 sec dwn pause for 1 sec at the bottom position
    2) modified push ups on knees(i would bring a pillow for your knees unless they have mats in the gym) 15 reps at 2 sec intervals, ex:1sec down 1 sec up.pause for 1 sec at the bottom of each rep
    3) bicep curls 10 lbs-do 2 reps then hold at 90degrees for 30 seconds after 30sec hold do 3 reps at 2 sec int, 1 dwn, 1 up, 1 sec pause at the bottom

    I have several workout cards made and saved as pictures on my profile. You're welcome to them. That's why I have them up there. I don't know if you will need to add me as a friend to see them or not, but I'll be glad to add you.
