Wifey's Top 3 Fave Workouts

Good evening my fellow gym rats!! Yes, evening again.  For some reason, getting ready for bed wakes me up so what better time to blog! I also find I am more productive and creative late at night.

SO!! If you follow my Instagram page, you probably saw the sneak peak for this blog.  Well here it is....Wifey's Top 3 Fave Workouts.  Again, simple and great if you're a gym rat on the go.

Hubby and I love to play around with new workouts, however, if I am either pressed for time or stuck on what to do on a certain day, these are my go-to's. 



1.) UPPER/ARMS & CORE
- 3km easy run for warm up
- Bench press (3-4 sets at a light weight 85 lbs, 6-8 reps)
- TRX rows, push ups (10-12 reps, 4-6 sets)
- TRX planks and knee tucks (10-12 reps, 4-6 sets)
- 15 min of battle ropes (painful and fun!!)
**1-2 min rest in between all sets, I take longer if I am lifting heavy**

2.) LEG
- 3km easy run for warm up
- Stairs 3-4 sets
- Squat, push up, bent over row set (4 sets)
        - 10-12 front squat with a 40lb barbell
        - 10-12 push ups
        - 10-12 bent over rows with a 70lb barbell

3.) FULL BODY/CARDIO
- 1500m swim workout (freestyle)
   - 200m warm up (easy pace)
   - 100m x 3 (kick, pull, full stroke - medium to hard pace).  Do this set 4 times for 1200m total
   - 100m cool down (any stroke)

Cue shameless plug........
All of the workouts (except the swim workout, that one is obviously mine haha) are all hubby inspired so check out his Facebook and Instagram page for his amazing and very useful tips on how to do any of the above exercises and different variations of them :)
