What Do I Do At the Gym?

Now that I am FINALLY able to run again, I am on a mission to reach my goals before summer 2017! I thought it was going to be much harder to get back into my old routine, but I feel like I never stopped! I don’t know about you, but I am not a fan of running for long periods of time, which is why I like my interval exercises.

My interval exercises consist of running for 5 minutes at a regular speed, then walk for 1-2 minutes, then run at a high speed for 3-4 minutes at a time, with a 1-2 minute break in between. I usually run on a high speed for about 4-5 reps, and then I walk on an incline for the last 10-15 minutes. Once I have finished my incline walk, and the treadmill has stopped, I run as fast as I can, holding onto the front handle bars (with the treadmill turned off), while the incline is still where I left it. I do this for about 2 minutes straight (this is great for your glutes by the way).

I have limited my cardio to about 30 minutes a day, so that I do not start losing the muscle I have gained from lifting weights.

I try to split up my cardio and weights 50/50 during my gym time.

When it comes to lifting weights, I try to dedicate one day to certain parts of my arms, one day to legs, one day to abs. Sometimes I mix a few different body parts into one workout.
