Since spring has finally decided to show up, I thought this would be a great time to share a bodybulding routine.  Everyone's goals are different, so please understand that if you are not putting in the effort, it is impossible to reap all the benefits.

 

Eating for the body you want, not the body you have.

​

Make it a priority to get adequate sleep.

​

Limit alcohol consumption.

 

Go up in weight on each exercise as heavy as you can with proper form.

 

Limit your rest periods to 30-60 seconds between sets. 

 

Cardio can be done anywhere from 3-6 x per week for 15-45 depending on your needs and goals. 

 

Leave at least one day off from both strength training and cardio.

 

Do the best you can, have fun and let me know how you do!
