The weight loss topic got me wondering what kind of exercise routine everyone does. I haven't been consistent with it but when I have I do a total body high rep workout.
It is basically doing almost all the machines at Planet Fitness and then doing cardio. I normally do either 3 sets of 10 or 1 set of 20 reps depending on how I feel. I do this every time I go so I don't break up days for body parts like chest and tris or back and bis.
1. Shoulder press machine
2. lower back extension - hits lower back/hip/butt area
3. back exercise - I try to alternate between pull down machine and a row type machine.
4. bench press machine
5. abdominal machine
6. biceps machine - I also throw in some dumbell curls or bar curl from the free weights
7. tricep machine - either tricep extension or tricep pushdown machines
8. Leg extensions - for quads - machine
9. hamstring curls - machine
10. calf extensions - machine
11. Leg press - for total lower body
I then typically get on the elliptical for 15-30 minutes and do 1-2 miles at a decent pace. I got to 2.5 miles in 30 minutes which is good for as fat as I currently am after working out everything but lower body.
Anyone have any suggestions to change it up. My biggest issue is getting bored with the routine.
