A Day in My Life...

People often ask me about my gym routine and what I eat on a typical day, so here's a look into a day in my life...

I don't eat a lot before I hit the gym because typically I get up and head straight there which doesn't leave me enough time to digest a full meal. I do always have a little something though to give me some energy to rock my workout!!

My Wednesday Gym Session

Cardio

• 10 minutes on the elliptical (I do this first because it gives me a good warm-up and I'm sweating after just 10 minutes!)

• 15 minutes on the stepmill (The ultimate machine if you want to sweat a TON)

• 15 minutes of intervals on the treadmill (Alternating between sprints and walking on an incline)

Weight Training - Shoulders and Biceps

• EZ Bar cable curls (4 sets of 10 with 35 lbs)
• Barbell curls (4 sets of 12 with 40 lbs)
• Dumbbell curls (4 sets of 10 with 20 lbs)
• Assisted chin-ups (4 sets of 10 with 40 lbs resistance)
• Barbell overhead press (4 sets of 15 with 40 lbs)
• Lateral raises with dumbbells (4 sets of 12 with 10 lbs)
• Dumbbell shoulder press (4 sets of 12 with 25 lbs)
• Upright rows with a kettlebell (4 sets of 15 with 35lbs)
