Week Five Weight Workout

For those of you who are trying to get your body summer ready and are slowly transitioning yourself into a fitness lifestyle, here is another workout you can try.  Here is the first part that I posted for my first 4 weeks: Week 1-4 Workout.

I use 5lb weights, but you can use lighter or slightly heavier.  I wouldn't go more than 8lbs because these exercises are meant to be used with lighter weights.  If you need more intensity then add in more reps rather than more weight.  This is how you get tone over bulk.

Week 5:
I recommend doing this exercise every other day and alternate with a 2-3 mile walk/bike/jog.  Don't forget to keep your TVAs engaged to work your abdominals at the same time.

• bicep curls (15 slow and controlled reps)
• alternating bicep curls (15 reps R and L- use full extensions)
• shoulder press (15 reps)
• alternating shoulder press (15 reps R and L)
• row (15 reps, sit in a squat position)
• 15 squats
• lateral raise, elbows bent 90 degrees or arms straight (15 reps)
• 15 squats
• tricep extension overhead (15 reps R then L)
