Tuesday: Cardio, Chest and Ab day!

Hello all!

So I've just eaten my breakfast after getting back from the gym where I did my cardio, chest and ab exercises!!!  Total time the workout took me was an hour and a half.  I moved through the workout pretty efficiently too, I don't like to waste time at all!  Here's a small breakdown of my workout!

Cardio:
Treadmill- I go through each round starting at incline of 1 and then continue increasing the incline (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
2 min running at 5.5
2 min walking lunges at 1.6
1 min walking at 3.0
The last 6 minutes are broken down like this:  1 min at incline of 1 walking at 3.0 then 5 min at an incline of 1 running at 6.0
Then I wipe the sweat off my forehead and smile, and then drink a ton of water :)

Chest:
Superset:
Incline DB flyes- 12.5 lbs. dumbbells- 4 sets with 15 reps each set
Push-ups- 4 sets with 10 reps each

Incline DB chest press- 15 lbs. dumbbells- 4 sets with 15 reps each

Cable Flyes- 30 lbs on each side- 4 sets with 12 reps each set

Alternating medicine ball push-ups- 3 sets at 10 reps each set (20 total because of switching from one hand to the other)

Abs:
Spider-Man on Buso ball (put the buso ball with the ball side down, position yourself in a push up position holding the buso ball.  Alternate bringing knee to elbow on each side) 4 sets- 15 reps

Leg lifts (laying down on your back, lift legs up and keeping feet flexed and hands under hips.  Push heels up and then lower back down) 4 sets for 15 reps each

Toe touchers (keep legs up with feet flexed and reach hands towards feet aiming to touch your toes) 4 sets with 15 reps each

V-ups (laying on back with arms above head reach up and bring straight legs up too creating a V shape to your body.  These are really tough!) 4 sets of 10 reps


I know it's hard to explain each move and I hope I've done an okay job of it but I don't really have anyone to take pics of each move or record it since I work out solo!!!  It shouldn't take hours and hours of cardio and hours of lifting, when you keep your diet on point and the workouts focused then it all adds up to being awesome changes!  

Cheers and happy lifting!
