the best things I can ever say about a workout routine. See you next week.

FitnessBuilder Week 8.

Notes: Ok officially I am stronger and leaner ( Thanks FB ). No I am not bragging just talking about the effects of consistently working out five times a week and trying to eat right. Trying to eat right is actually more harder for me then working out. Getting up early I can deal with, reps, heavier weights and being sore I can deal with. Staying away from food that I love is tough. Anyway I am still working out the food issues I have.

Let’s talk about this week, this week I am going to be focusing on some core rountines, fat burning and just for the heck of it some harder exercises. ( Pushing myself.)

I am starting with a FitnessBuilder’s Ultimate Core Workout 1 and 2.

Workout Time: 36 min 55 sec

Ultimate Core, Workout 1
Overhead Squat  / Kneeling Lo-Hi Chop / Swing / Corkscrew / Press with Rotation / Spiderman / Kneeling Lateral Raise / Alternating Bridge

Exercise of the Day: Corkscrew shoulder exercise.
This exercise will hit all your little shoulder muscles and your obliques as well.
You will learn respect the weight on this exercise, I started out with a 35lb plate thinking I could a little heavier. I realized that I need to build up to that, I started with a  25lb plate . The motion on this exercise makes it harder to hold the weight if your not used to it. Try it and hit me up with your thoughts.
