Finding My Feet

I’m still in flux, trying to find my feet so I’m going to do what I do best: go back to the basics.

My basics:

• Running
• Yoga
• Weight Lifting

Fact: I think strength training in boring.

This is rather unfortunate because strength training has a ton of benefits.

I got out of the habit of doing regular strength training.

I’m not really sure why. I saw results. I felt awesome. Given the funk I’ve been in lately, I’m going to turn to things that I know and love.

My brief hiatus from strength training has given me the kick in the butt I need. I want my guns back!!!

Thank you to Tina for the inspiration to take my strength training into my own hands. Check out her post on how to create strength training plans!

My Plan:

This month I’m going to follow a push/pull/full split.

Push		Pull		Full
Exercise	Reps	Exercise	Reps	Exercise	Reps
Hamstring Curls	3 x 10	Squats	3 x 10	Reverse Lunge	3 x 10
Pushups	3 x 10	Lat Pulldowns	3 x 10	DB Fly	3 x 10
Deadlift	3 x 10	Step-Ups	3 x 10	Bent Over Row	3 x 10
Bench Press	3 x 10	Row	3 x 10	Calf Raise	3 x 10
Overhead Should Press	3 x 10	DB Front Raise	3 x 10	Lateral Raise	3 x 10
Skull Crushers	3 x 10	DB Bicep Curl	3 x 10

Two weeks at 3 x 10, then I’m going to increase the weight and do two weeks at 3 x 8.

How often do you strength train?
