How Edie Trains.... Workout routine (5-6 days per week): 1. First, always have a cup of black coffee prior to your workouts. Always workout first thing the morning (keeps you committed, and burns the fat out of your system better). Always eat a small carbohydrate prior to working out legs. The size of your meal should be no larger than your the palm of your hand. 2. Limber up! Stretch, stretch, and stretch your muscles first, prior to working them out. For example if you are doing legs, stretch your leg muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons for about 5 or ten minutes. Do a full body stretch every day. This should only take about ten minutes. 3. Weight-train with free weights one bodypart, one day per week: - Mondays: Legs
Tuesdays: Shoulders Wednesdays: Triceps & biceps Thursdays: Back Fridays: Chest Saturdays: Abs Sundays: Emphasize stretching, and relax today.
Note: NEVER work a bodypart that is sore and healing. If you need help with any of the above, please let me know and I will help you. I can be reached at edie@bodytech.com. 4. Do light abdominal workouts three days a week, and one solid workout day. (situps, crunches, leg lifts) 5. Two or three times a week, do low intensity aerobic activity (Stationary Bike, Nordic track, Stair Master, whatever) for 15-20 minutes AFTER your weight training workout. 6. Spend no more than one hour at the gym. Get in, work out with INTENSITY, get it done, get out. Don't ever overdo it, take it from experience, you'll burn out. Remember, all this training will do you NO GOOD if you don't combine it with A sensible diet. |
