Usually when I go to the gym I combine cardio and strenght training. I find it easier to do two or three long workouts a week and have a few nights off, than going back and forth to the gym everyday for shorter workouts. But we have relatives living at a 10km distance which makes for a great outdoor workout everytime there’s a birthday celebration or family dinner. And since there are two of those this week, I’m pretty much covered in the cardio department. So after a quick warming up on the rowing machine I opted for just strength training today:

• Abs for 10 minutes
• Upper Body:
  3 x 10 reps – Pull Down
  3 x 10 reps – Pectoral Fly
  3 x 10 reps – Row
  3 x 10 reps – Chest Press
  3 x 10 reps – Biceps Curl
  3 x 10 reps – Triceps Press
• Lower Body:
  3 x 10 reps – Seated Legg Press
  3 x 10 reps – Hip Adduction
  3 x 10 reps – Hip Abduction
  3 x 10 reps – Leg Extension
  3 x 10 reps – Seated Leg Curl

I used just enough weight to make every last series of 10 reps really hard, but not so hard that I wasn’t able to maintain good posture.
