Remxing the Routines

     Seeing as how I've been making some changes to my eating habits, the same had to be done for my workouts as well. Once you reach a plateau, you have to shake things up to get that metabolism going. I'm also fortunate enough to have friends who are also fitness fanatics that give amazing advice and tips.
     My supervisor at work just happens to be a trainer and we've been going to the gym together the past few weeks. I must say, this is a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I'm pushing my body to the limits and learning new routines that are making big differences to my physique, the curse is that on some days it's hard to move around. But I love it all, I'm gym junkie and that's how I get my high (an occasional bottle of henny but I digress).
     We've been incorporating a lot more arm workouts into the arsenal. A lot more bicep curls but in different variations. You would be surprised at how a slight twist of the wrist or angle of the arm can make a difference. I'm also a lot more work on back, doing the lawnmowers, lower back raises, pull-up, etc.  I haven't benched in quite awhile, but I have been making great gains with different dumbbell exercises. I'm also doing pushups and core work galore. He also pushes to train harder and to never sit down and just power through the workout. I give the occasional eye roll, but it's all in love though.
     This is what my workout schedule looks like nowadays:
Monday - Chest and triceps w/pushups and core
Tuesday - Running 2-3 miles
Wednesday - Back and biceps w/pushups, pull-ups and core
Thursday - Running 2-3 miles
Friday - Legs & shoulders w/pushups and core
Saturday or Sunday - My bonus day. I'll either do full body drills or run a few miles

     It's still early but I'm seeing some results. I feel stronger and my endurance and stamina are improving significantly. This is only the beginning.
