I have been contemplating starting a workout blog and today I have decided to give it a try. I really enjoy coming up with workouts that are challenging and a bit different from the norm. I am a Certified Athletic Trainer and have a good knowledge base but I pull ideas from alot of places and think I have found my fitness philosophy from filtering through many different resources.
I want to help people reach their fitness goals whether that is losing weight, toning up, increasing overall fitness or gearing up for sports. I am going to start posting about 3-4 workouts a week. I am currently developing a workout series I call "Shredded '11". It is a circuit type workout that is extremely efficient at burning body fat and building muscle. Of course no workout is complete without proper nutrition so I will also add some tips on healthy eating throughout. I would also love to hear from anyone else with questions, comments, critiques, whatever...
Here is the first workout (instructions below):
| Day 1-Countdown | *Increase weight every 2 sets | ||||||||||
| Walking Lunges | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
| Standing Curls | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
| Chest Flys | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
| Box Jumps | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
| Knees-Elbows | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
 |
| Knees-Elbows |
*Use a weight that is challenging. You may have to adjust as you go
*Do one exercise after another (circuit fashion)
*Your final 2 sets of each exercise should be tough!
*The harder you work, the more you will benefit
Modifications:
If you don't have a box, use a step. If you don't have dumbbells, use books. If you don't have a pullup bar, do mountain climbers
