I consider myself quite level headed (well,more or less.lol)
And i have a healthy view of diet and training.... in my non expert opining.
I believe that balance is key, I`m an "all things in moderation" kind of girl.
That especially applies to my eating habits and workouts.
I don`t believe in starving myself (or over eating...) and i don`t believe in any extremes in my training (either no workout or training everyday several times a day)
It`s been a looooong process, but I`m finally in tune with my own body.
So how often do i workout?
well that varies from week to week,but generally i work out 3-5 days a week.
But i try stay active 7 days a week. (i said active NOT training)
What do i mean by active?
I mean that those days i don`t go to the gym, i go for a walk,or cycle (just easy breezy cycling)
or gardening ,any low intensity activity to keep my body moving.
So my workout routine ,how does my week look like?
I try to switch it around a little so i don`t get stuck in a pattern.
MY WORKOUT ROUTINE!
(what a typical week looks like)
MONDAY: RUN 5K
Since i`m training for my first race,i run this distance once a week.
 |
I warm up on the treadmill for 10 minutes fast walk, or warm up on the rowing machine.
Then i select six strength moves:
Assisted pull-ups , wide and narrow ( either hang a rubber band from the rack, or hang it across on the barbell hooks)Works shoulders,triceps,delts and upper back.
 |
| The upper barbell hooks,just Place them lower,and attach the elastic band across. Grab the handles at the top,stand on the band and do pull-ups . |
Bicep curl (either with a hand weight or barbell)
 |
Tricep extension with weight,lying Down
 |
Lateral raises
(works shoulders and delts)
 |
T-bar row
works back and arms
 |
Back extension with weights.
 |
Wednesday: Active rest day
I usually go for a walk most of the time. preferably 3-5 km
or 30-60 min (as a minimum)
Thursday: Leg day!!
I warm up with 5 min walking, and then some intervals
My favorite Leg day moves:
Squats With barbell
 |
Goblet squat
 |
Dead lifts
 |
Glute bridge with weights
 |
Smith machine donkey kicks
 |
Glute kickbacks
Bulgarian Split Squats
Friday: Active rest day (same as Wednesday)
Saturday: Intervals + full body workout
Arms, bicep curl and tricep extension (see Tuesday`s workout)
Back, T-bar row and back extension ( se Tuesday`s workout)
Chest, dumbbell fly
 |
Shoulders, Lateral raises ( see Tuesday`s workout)

Sunday: Active rest day
So this is what my workout schedule might look like.
I do switch the workouts around a little ,or even take an extra rest day.
And i try to add new moves to my routine every now and then, to keep my workouts interesting.
