Guys, I can’t help it, I love working out. I know, I know, that is so annoying to hear but really, once you get into a routine of working out and you miss a couple of days you just want to get back to the gym! And let me tell you, if you’re having a bad day, there is no better feeling than going to the gym and getting out your aggression. Those are 100% the days I have the best, hardest workouts. I also always feel better about the problem I came in with (to some degree) once I leave.
However, going to the gym can get boring and repetitious, so I highly recommend switching up your routines from time to time. I shared with you my last weight lifting workout I did. I did this one July through December and then started on the push pull workout in January. I’m anticipating changing it up again around June/July but I’m still digging this current routine. Also, if you don’t have a gym to go to right now you can always try my at home workout I shared.
Anywho, moving on to the workout. I usually do warmup by doing some quick stretches and then running for 10-20 minutes. Then I move onto pumping some iron!
One quick note: you will see that this workout has supersets. Supersets mean you do the two exercises back to back without resting between sets. Once you do them once you will realize why they are called supersets. They are super hard!

There it is! Once I go through all of the workouts I just start again at the beginning. Feel free to up your sets too. So if you’re looking for a new workout I hope this helps!
I love working out, too! When people talk about hating to exercise, I just can’t relate. I’m always looking for new gym routines and am going to study yours. I’ll probably have to print a cheat sheet to remember the exercises and the order. I’m been nursing a hurt foot for about a week and not exercising like I want to is no fun. I know you know all about that after your long couple of months of injury recovery last spring.
I feel you! Exercise makes me so happy! I’m so sorry that you’re ankle isn’t doing good. Such a bummer. Feel better soon!
