Current Workout - Strength Training

Kelly and I are starting a new workout regimen this week.  We are incorporating both cardio (in the form of running) and strength training.  After a bit of downtime over the holidays, we are redoubling our efforts for fitness, and wanted to schedule ourselves a bit more thoroughly.

We're trying to include core/abs, arms/shoulders, legs, and a specific shoulder routine.

Below you will find our current schedule:

Sunday:

---

Arms/Shoulders:

• Lat raises (palms down/thumbs up/thumbs up then down) (10 reps)
• Front raises (10 reps)
• Cross overs (10 reps)
• Military press (10 reps)
• Bicep curls (10 reps)
• Tricep extensions (10 reps)

(For these exercises, Kelly is using 3 lb. dumbbells, and I have 5 lb dumbbells)

Legs:

• Squats (10)
• Lunges (10 each side)

Monday:

---

Cardio (running)

Tuesday:

Core/Arms:

• Plank (45 seconds)
• Forearm plank (45 seconds)
• Side plank (30 seconds each side)
• Pushups (10)

 Abs:

• Crunches (10)
• Reverse crunches (10)
• Twists (10)
• Bicycle Crunches (10 each side)

Wednesday:

Arms/Shoulders:

• Pushups (10)

 Abs:

We can already tell that we'll have to do a bit of customization.  We've both found 10 crunches to be too few, but we'll stick it out for the week and see what comes of it.  We'll update with whatever current workout we've got going!

Expect a post from Kelly about our running regimen soon!
