Today's Workout

Hi hi!

I've been doing mostly exercise classes this week which have been great but I've missed doing my own workouts at the gym. So, this morning I got up early to go and workout.

What I did:

I started off on the treadmill - I did a 5 minute jog to warm up and then started running at about 10km/h for one minute and then cranking it up to 13km/h for one minute. I repeated this 3 times.

I decided I wanted to work mostly my legs but also my abs a bit so I did these exercises:

• Squats with a weighted training bar - 3 sets 12 reps
• Russian twists with 6kg medicine ball - 3 sets 15 reps
• Dumbbell goblet squats - 3 sets 15 reps (Hold a dumbbell vertically by your chest and squat, keeping it in the same place)
• Dumbbell walking lunges - 3 sets 15 reps
• Dumbbell dead lifts - 3 sets 15 reps
• Plank push-ups (start in a plank on your elbows and push up to your hands then back down again) - 3 x 30 seconds
• One-arm dumbbell swing - 3 x 30 seconds (stand with legs shoulder width apart and start bent in a squat position with a dumbbell in one hand held with a straight arm between your legs. As you stand up to straight position bring the dumbbell up and above your head, keeping your arm straight all the time - you should feel this in your abs so keep them tight).
• Normal lunges with no weight - 3 x 30 seconds 

I then spent 10/15 mins stretching - one of my goals this year is to get more flexible.

Now I am having a yummy salad for lunch - it's rocket salad with red pepper, warm butternut squash, steamed broccoli and edamame, and feta with a lemon juice and chilli powder dressing.

Lunch time

Hope you're having a good weekend!
