A typical day for me is I get up and do 20 minutes
of high intensity cardio prior to eating. I usually do the elliptical at a
quick pace or jump rope. I do this 5 days a week.
I also lift five times weekly and my Workout
schedule is as follows:
Mondays are chest, triceps and abs.
Tuesdays are back biceps and shoulders along with
the cardio.
Wednesdays are legs and abs.
Thursdays I do chest and triceps again, but do
bodyweight exercises only like push-ups and dips. Fridays I will do the same
with back, shoulders, and biceps.
I will jump rope for 20 minutes on my free time
during the day 5 days a week.
* After lifting I take 50 grams of whey protein with
water.
So to maintain my current physique I am doing 2
sessions of cardio per day. I do hanging leg raises, decline crunches,
reverse crunches, roll-outs with a barbell and cable crunches for abs. I do 2
exercises per session for abs. The key for abs is to focus on the feel and
hold it. I will also do planks for 2-3 minutes after cardio. A plank is
getting in a push-up type position but on your forearms and holding it for a
period of time. Try to start with a minute and working up to 3 minutes.
Great for the core! I do abs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. After the
workout I have a protein shake with whey protein or a low sugar protein bar.
