Workout

I only workout 5 days a week so on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are the days that I do my 'big' workout.

Here is my schedule

Running                 40 minutes
Jumping Jacks         5 minutes
Weight Lifting          5 minutes
Sit ups                     5 minutes
Stretching                5 minutes

Weight Lifting Workout

Kickbacks -
  1. Hold weight in both hands and bend over until your torso is at a 45-degree angle or parallel to the floor (more advanced). Bend the knees if needed and keep the abs engaged to protect the lower back.
  2. Begin the movement by bending the arms and pulling the elbows up to torso level.
  3. Holding that position, straighten the arms out behind you, squeezing the triceps muscles. 
Triceps Extensions -
  1. Hold weight at one end with both hands overlapping one another.
  2. Take the weight straight up overhead with the arms next to the ears.
  3. Lower the weight behind the head until elbows are at about 90 degree angles.
  4. Squeeze the triceps to straighten the arms without locking the joints. 
Lateral Raises -
  1. Hold weights at the sides.
  2. Keeping a slight bend in the elbow, lift the arms out to the sides, stopping at shoulder level.
  3. Lower back to start and repeat
Front Raises - 

  1. Hold weights with arms straight down, palms face the thighs.
  2. Slowly lift arms up to shoulder level keeping elbows slightly bent.
  3. Exhale and lower back down.
  4. This exercise can also be done with a light barbell or, if you're using heavier dumbbells, you can alternate arms.
  5. Repeat
Overhead Press - 
  1. Begin standing or sitting with elbows bent and weights next to the ears.
  2. Press the weights up over the head.
  3. Lower the weights, bringing the hands next to the ears and repeat
Bicep Curls - 
  1. Stand with feet about hip-width apart, abs engaged as you hold dumbbells in front of the thighs.
  2. Squeeze the biceps and bend the arms, curling the weights up towards the shoulders.
  3. Keep the elbows stationary and only bring the weight as high as you can without moving the elbows.
  4. Slowly lower the weights, keeping a slight bend in the elbows at the bottom (e.g., don't lock the joints and try to keep tension on the muscle)
  5. Repeat

Sit Ups 

Leg Rises - 

     1.Start by laying on your back and keep your hands and head on your mat, with your legs stretched out            straight in front of you.
     2. Lift your legs off of the floor keeping them straight. Raise them at about a 45 degree angle off the floor.
     3. Slowly move both legs down (keeping them together and as straight as you can) until they are about a         foot from the floor. Now raise them back up and begin again.

Reverse Curl - 

   1. Lay on the ground and place your arms behind your head.
   2. Bend your legs at your knees so that your feet are firmly on the ground.
   3. Pull your knees up towards your stomach.
   4. Then slowly lower them back down, resting your feet on the floor. Repeat process.

Jack Knives -

   3. Complete a crunch and bring your knees and shoulders together.
