My First Workout Routine

I have mentioned on here before that my mom got me 3 sessions with a personal trainer at my gym for Christmas. At each of the three sessions I will get a different workout. I can focus on one for a month and then move to the next and so on so that my body doesn't grow used to the same exercise. 

I had mentioned before that I would share my workout, and today this is just what I am going to do! You should have seen me taking my Erin Condren planner in there with me so I could write all of this down! Otherwise I would have never remembered it!

Routine #1

warm up-Do 15 minutes of cardio. I was told to do the stair master and go up 1 to 2 levels each week.ll as high as you

v-ups-use a weighted bar and lay flat on your back while holding it. You will want your arms wide apart. and lift your legs and your upper half of your body up off of the ground (make sure your shoulders are off the ground) and touch the bar to your legs. Do this 30 times.

1/2 pilates ball-They have these half pilates balls with a flat bottom. you lay your back on that and push yourself across the room and back. Do this 3 times. AND do it between each exercise. If not every one then every other one. 

squat hold- grab a pilates ball and go up to a wall. Put the ball up against the wall and turn to where it is placed in the curve of your back. Squat down and hold it for 1 minute. (You would not believe how hard this is and how much this works you!) Do this 3 times.

squat with lateral raise- grab a weighted bar and do squats while lifting it up in the air. Do 30 of these

medicine ball lift- grab a medicine ball (i use 15lbs) and squat down while holding it. When you go up you lift the ball as high as you can, and then squat again. I toss it in the air and then catch it. Then I start my squat all over again. Do this 30 times.

kettle ball swing- stand with your legs spread apart and your body straight while holding the kettle ball by the handle. Lift it from resting position to up diagonally above your head and back. The trick to this is that you are not allowed to bend your elbows. Do this 30  times.

half burpees- do 30 of these. (I was going to try to explain these. But I think it is best to just google them or i will so confuse you!)

full burpees- do 30 of these. ( the same as the half but you stand between each and then go back to start position)

squat with bar- grab a weighted bar and put your arms in an x holding the bar, resting your thumbs near should shoulder. Do 30 squats with that bar. 

leg press- this is something you need gym equipment to do. Go and do 30 leg presses with weights against the machine. 

lunge and pump- you do normal lunges, but while doing these you are holding wights in your hands. during your lunge you pump your arms in the air with the weights. Go across the room back and forth 3 times! (6 for a small room)

Now you are done and exhausted and you just stretch. 

This whole thing should take you from an hour to an hour and a half.

Believe me when I say it is hard!

I go Monday to find out my next routine!

ps- I also have food tips and a ridiculously easy recipe I will be sharing this week!
