New Routine For Feb
Monday, February 4, 2008
I had been thinking, and planning my workouts lately.
While it is a good idea to split the workouts into small bits, ie work a couple of parts each time, I was thinking it would be a better idea to dedicate Sat and Sun to full body workouts - ie Upper Body on Saturday, Lower Body on Sunday.
Then, I rest 1 week. Weekdays, I just do the circuit-training thing on the video. I figure since the circuit training is more for burning fat than building muscles, I can easily hook a "lighter" band in and follow along, and thus won't overtrain my muscles.
I went on this new workout plan last weekend. Saturday was upper body, Sunday was lower body. Now my whole body aches slightly. No, not the "Oh Gawd I can't move, I can't sneeze, I can laugh" type of ache.. but the nice dull ache that lets you know you've actually hit the targetted muscles and worked them to failure to spark off muscle growth.
In fact, I actually used both the Steel Bow and the Bodylastics in my workouts on the weekend. As I said before, Steel Bow feels more "targetted", so for those parts which I can't seem to "get" with Bodylastics, I used the Steel Bow to work those parts to failure.
