work it out!

after asking for nearly 5 months, i finally got my handsome boyfriend to make me a workout plan! i'm pretty psyched about it. i've only done two days so far, but man was i sore afterward!!! it's a full body workout, alternating the strength work every other work out day. my goal is to do it 4 times a week for a month, and see how it goes.

so here it is, in all it's glory (...i guess that will be judged come swimsuit season...which is actually quickly approaching in dc)!

day 1
1. push-ups (3x10)
-body weight dips (3x12)
2. walking lunge (3x10 each leg; 20 total steps)
-upright row (3x10)
3. bicep curls (3x10)
-lat pulldowns (3x10)
4. leg curls (3x10)
-leg extensions (3x10)
5. abs (any variation x100)

day 2
1. chest flys (3x10)
-tricep pushdowns w/rope (3x12)
2. dumbbell step-ups with rope (3x12)
-plate squats (3x15)
3. bicep cable curls (3x10)
-seated rows (3x10)
4. calf raises (3x15)
-straight leg dead lift (3x10)
5. abs (any variation x100)

i plan on coupling the strength work with a couple mile run for cardio and to get my muscles loosened up beforehand. wish me luck!
