Weekly Workout: Jan. 21-27

Focus on your abs and core muscles during any lift.

Last week was not bad, but it was just okay. I was not as motivated as I was the week before. I don't know if I did not push myself hard enough or if the workout was not enough. So this week I'm am making some changes.

I am now going to lift 3 days a week instead of just 2. Hopefully that will push me a bit more and continue to improve my strength  I already feel stronger and want to continue to increase muscle mass. I am going to keep the same cardio schedule but just tacked on 5 minutes to the elliptical and stationary bike. I'm going to focus on Core on Tues, Thur, and Sat and leave the major lifts for Mon, Wed, Fri. That does not mean I will not be focusing on my core on those days.

WORKOUT TIP: I always focus on my core when I am doing any lift. It is important to always think about your core and pull in your tummy muscles as you are doing your major lifts. This will keep you stabilized, injury free, and give you a nice set of abs.
