7/19: Women’s Biceps & Triceps Workout

Melinda — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:08:39 +0000

Today was arm day so I did biceps and triceps. This is a brand new workout I haven’t done before and my arms are actually feeling pretty fatigued so I’m thinking it was a good one! I’m still working on my new vision board but I hope to have it completed within the next 2 [...] Related posts:

7/18: Women’s Shoulders & Abs Workout

Melinda — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 23:25:57 +0000

I got the itch to switch up my workouts again… With this workout I decreased the weight, increased the reps and limited time in between sets to just 45 seconds. Wow does that make a big difference! It really ups the intensity. A couple of quick things: I’m in the process of creating a new [...] Related posts:

Melinda — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 21:14:16 +0000

Ever heard the phrase, “Fat-n-Happy?”… Of course you have. We used to refer to obese guys as a “jolly fat-man”… or perhaps someone who is overweight as “fat-n-happy”. Is it true?

7/13: Women’s Leg Workout

Melinda — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 22:35:36 +0000

I did my favorite leg workout today and it was pretty slow going. I don’t know if it’s because of the heat or what but it was tough to get through. I still had fun though – I just had to laugh at my slowness. My quads still hurt from the HIIT I did the [...] Related posts:

Melinda — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:38:21 +0000

I don’t know about you but summer workouts just suck. Actually I shouldn’t say the workouts themselves suck, but getting motivated to work out when it’s so warm and humid is a bit tough. Today I did a women’s strength training workout for chest and then followed that up with a quick fat burning cardio [...] Related posts:
