Workout #2

Take 10 different exercises from Workout #1 and do 1 set of 10 reps of each. Try using Dumbbells (DB), a Kettlebell (KB) or anything. There is a list of exercises on the left side of this page. Make sure whatever you do, make sure you are using correct form. Use light weight so you can easily perform the exercise. Do not do more or less. Take it easy this week.

Record in the comments what you did and how much.... how did it feel.

Have fun!

Workout #1

Ok It begins here....

Take 10 machines in the gym and do 1 set of 10 reps on each machine. Use light weight so you can easily perform the exercise. Do not do more or less. Take it easy this week. You are preparing your body for what is to come.

Record in the comments what you did and how much.... how did it feel.

Have fun!

Ok Lets Do It!

Ok we are going to start out light. I've given you 3 basic moves to work with. The workouts will be based on those 3 with a couple of more thrown in that I'm sure you already know. I will try to meet with you once a week to see how your form is progressing and introduce new exercises that we will use in future workouts.

Again, I need your input on what you did, how long it took you, what weight(if any you used), how the workouts feel, and how you are feeling. Please ask all the questions you want. I would be more than happy to answer any and all of them. Also, feel free to call me if you don't understand and need more than answering a comment or e-mail.

Please post any questions and all data from the workout to the comments section, located below each individual post.

The most important thing..... Have fun and lots of it!
