My First Self Made Workout

So today, I KNEW I needed to do a strength training routine and I was a little lost as to what to do.  So I made a list of workouts we did in bootcamp and made this:

Warm Up - 5 mins

Run through each of the following sets 3 times with a 30 second rest between sets.

Set 1
Chest Press - 1 min
Squats - 1 min

Set 2
Pushups (on toes as long as possible, regressing to knees when necessary) - 1 min
Bicycle Abs - 1 min

Set 3
Back Row - 1 min
Stationary Lunges - 1 min each leg

Set 4
Super Man - 1 min
Bicep Curl w/Overhead Press - 1 min

Set 5
Tricep Extension - 1 min
Full Plank/Side Plank - 1 min

I used 10 lb weights for all of the exercises requiring weights, because that's the heaviest I had.  I really should've been using 20 and sometimes 25 lbs.  Work with what you have :)

On a side note: I've made some choices today that not everyone will agree with, but I am proud of my choices and will stick by them no matter what.  I am healthier today than I have ever been.  Mind, Body, and Soul.
