April is my favorite month of the year. I may be biased since my birthday is the 17th but I love springtime and just the general feeling of this beautiful season.
There are some days I look forward to my workout. Today was not one of those days. But like I said, I want to get off to a good start for April. I'm continuing to follow a double split strength training schedule. It's a six day a week format with one rest day that looks like this:
Day 1: chest, triceps, core
Day 2: back, biceps
Day 3: shoulders, glutes, quads, hams, core
REST
Day 5-7: repeat Day 1-3 consecutively
I did a 15 minute warm up on the spin bike. I did 4 different chest exercises using various weight machines (about 8-15 reps, 2-3 sets, depending on weight used), 3 different triceps exercises, and about 10 minutes of core work. To finish off, I did cardio intervals on the treadmill. Warm up for 2 minutes, and then every odd minute I did 30 seconds at 7.0 mph/1% incline, active recovery 1:30 at 5 mph/1% incline. I repeated that until I hit 30 minutes.
That might all sound confusing but it's really just about playing around with various speeds to keep the workout interesting.
