Over the course of the past two years, I have had many different workout routine(s). When I first dove into working out, I was so confused with how I should workout. I found myself using machines and performing simple toning moves. My back always hurt because I wasn’t working out properly and thought that by doing tons of sit-ups I would have abs. I learned that my body did not thrive off that workout style.
My workout routine now
I love to mix it up, and my primary goal is to be active. I realized that I see more results when I incorporate more cardiovascular workouts, HIIT, and use my body weight. However, I am not anti-weights, in fact, I use them in a lot of my workouts. I love to mix up my workouts and shock my body. Some days I do super intense high-intensity workouts, other days I focus on toning and stretching. I usually schedule what I want to work out at the beginning of the week, and it might change based off how sore I am from a previous workout.
Here is an example of what my workout schedule for the week might look!
Schedule
Monday: Booty & Abs
Tuesday: Upper body HIIT
Wednesday: Full body & light cardio
Thursday: Legs & booty
Friday: Cardio & abs
Saturday/Sunday: Full body HIIT
My schedule changes every week and how I organize it. I try to get at least one day of just arms/ upper body and one day of just legs. Depending on how sore I am, I might switch up my days. Right now, I am working out 4-6 days a week. Every week is different for me, and sometimes I don’t get in a workout every day. I also listen to my body; when I am very sore/tired, I will take a rest day to let my muscles recover. On my recovery/rest days, I will generally stretch and roll out. This schedule is a rough guideline for me to follow throughout the week and doesn’t mean I always go to the gym. I will workout at home, or even outside if I want to.
Recovery days
On my recovery days, I still like to get my body moving with a light walk or just stretching out my muscles. I also try to roll out my muscles after I have had a hard workout and If I am super sore I will add Epsom salt to my bath.
What I shared is a simple layout of how I organize my workouts for the week. I will do another detailed post how what I exercise and my favorite moves. Writing out my workout schedule for the week makes me feel accountable to go to the gym and stick to it. This also helps me make sure I work out all the different parts of my body for the week!
Until next time, thanks for Hanging With Haley!
