I made the mistake of checking my email before my workout today… and before I knew it… Poof! An hour had passed and I was tight on time for my workout.

Doh! Managing time and sticking to it is paramount to being in control of your weight loss.

So I hit it hard. Replacing duration for intensity this makes for a good change in pace from the last few days to keep my body guessing.

Tuesday’s Time in the Gym 40 Minutes:
10 minutes of high intensity cardio (running not jogging) to get my blood moving.

Incline dumbell press 12 reps (90 lbs), 10 reps (110 lbs), 8 reps (130 lbs), 6 reps (130 lbs), 24 reps (30 lbs).

Side arm raises 3 sets of 12 reps (30 lbs) working the medial shoulder muscle.

Front arm raise 3 sets of 12 reps (24 lbs) 1 set of 24 reps (10 lbs) working the front shoulder muscle.

Incline bench press 3 set of 12 reps (135 lbs).

I noticed to very pretty ladies at the gym today… but both had distinctly different physical appearances and attitudes.

One of them was clearly overweight (but still attractive) and she loafed around the gym as if it were a chore to be there. She meandered a little unsure of what to do next (at least it seemed that way to the casual observer)

The other was VERY MUCH in control over her workout, her time, and her attitude. She moved with authority and strength. Decidedly cutting from one exercise to another.

She clearly demonstrated the type of attitude you need to have to increase your energy levels.
