Captivatingly Subservient

Aside from the commonplace banausic blogs most people are accustomed to talking about on here, the issue I want to identify any potential readers with concerns a very important issue to me --> Health and Fitness. Staying in shape is something I have never dealt lightly with -- It is a way of life for me...Ever since I was young, I have been involoved in organized sports and been encouraged by health advocators. A person must be self-motivated and set short-term as well as long-term goals for themselves to be successful in training, no matter what their goals... I notice that a lot of people tend to get caught up with the day-to-day luxuries of living and never give the gym a second thought, namely people I have worked with in the past, friends and aquintences... I hit the gym 6 days a week and still find time to put in 40-50 hours at work each week... It is possible, and working out regularly will orchistrate healthy living and a longer, healthier life. Here is my 6-day a week workout routine:

UPPER BODY WORKOUT -- Mon/Wed/FridOn each of these, use enough weight to where your last rep is tough to press out. I am letting you know what I use so you can kind of scale how much you might use as well.

K, once you finish all of this...Do 200 crunches and 100 sit-ups/50 side crunches & run 1 mile outside or on one of the machines -- Make sure and do sit-ups and some form of cardio every day! Also, you have got to work legs if you want to build more muscle up top...The flip-side workout looks like this-------------------->

After the lower body workout, do 100 sit-ups, 50 side crunches to each side, and run a mile and a half..I usually played about 5 games of basketball each day after lifting weights to get my cardio in..just make sure you do get in the gym no matter what your fitness goals!!!!!!!!!!!*All right, this should be a great workout for you...Let me know how you like it...and lift 5-6 days a week ALWAYS do cardio...Eat well...and NEVER miss a day of working out...
