If my body is my temple then the gym is my sanctuary. Each
week I plan out my workout schedule based on other events on my calendar. This way I have no excuses for skipping a workout because of events like a friend’s
birthday or an after work dinner. For the most part, each week is the same with major
changes happening every 3 months to account for the change in seasons or to
avoid burn out.
Somehow so many ladies have been convinced eating dairy will
keep their delicate bones strong. I say we ditch that food industry lie and get
in the weight room to gain our strength and stay slim. Besides eating clean, weight lifting is my number one priority above all else for staying healthy.
Lift 10lbs a day or eat 10lbs a day, you do the math.
Everyone’s gym personality is different so find what works
for you, whatever excites you and leaves you wanting more. My favorite
weight lifting workout style is the pyramid. I do 6 reps at my max weight,
8 reps about 10-20% lighter and finish off with 10 reps another 10% lighter. I
know I used the right amount of weight when my muscles are screaming bloody
mary by my last set.
