Week of Workouts: 3 Day Split💪🏾

Day One, not one day! 🔥

Hello and welcome back to my fitness journey! This three day split was fun and I was able to move all parts of my body in good ways this week. I am really trying to vamp my workout split into a program to follow for discipline and consistency basis. So, to start out strong, I gave myself the challenge of making it three days to the gym. Not consecutively, due to working my way back into the gym, gaining gym confidence back, and helping my body remember what it feels like and my muscle memory to return.

My goals this time around are:

  1. Making it to the gym three times a week for a four weeks.
  2. Building chest strength and focusing on upping my weight by five to ten pounds each week in Bench Press and Incline Press.
  3. Getting back to 8 pull ups in four weeks (today I did three!).
  4. CARDIO! Running a half a mile straight for two weeks, then a mile for two weeks!
  5. Gaining more core and lower back strength. Doing this by hitting core twice a week, and making sure my form is correct on back exercises and upping my weight slowly each week for four weeks. Hitting the 8 pull ups will definitely help with this!

So! Without further ado…Here’s my 3 Day Split!

Back/Chest/Legs 💪🏾🍑

Warm ups 10 mins 

Lat pull downs 3×10

Incline bench press 3×8

Please rest as needed, listen to your body! If you choose active rest for some of the other days that are workout days, go for a walk, do yoga, or anything else your heart desires! Or literally just rest and take the day off!

Four the fourth day (I chose to do this for the first day this week, but will be switching that to the fourth from now on) you can do some type of HIIT TRAINING! For example, my “sad girl workout”🥲 this week was from Brittany Lupton’s EMOM workout! It was an amazing example of what to do, I just was not properly prepared for it on Monday. I didn’t eat nutritionally, I was dehydrated probably as well. So I will be giving this a try again to redeem myself! Speaking of redeeming yourself, here’s how I come back from a workout that I don’t think was my best. Firstly, have an amazing support system and people you can go to that will still give you some good advice and tips and let you know you’e doing great still. We all have these kinds of days, so don’t dwell on it. Secondly, make sure you have a good workout routine and good goals that are easy to accomplish! For instance, I went home right after that “not so good” workout and wrote down my ideas for the remainder of the week, shown above! Then, I made sure my meals were nutritionally balanced and more Whole Foods! I made sure to up my water intake, etc. Thirdly, once in the gym with the good routine and balanced diet, I made sure to dial it back a bit (lessen weight, lessen sets, and reps!) and find good form and mind and muscle connection! I’m doing my push day right now I was draft this out in my notes and I can tell the difference in my form with less weight and less sets!! I came back strong this week after that “not so good” workout! And I pray this next week I can redeem myself again with Britt’s EMOM workout! 

I pray you find this helpful and continue to do what’s best for you! My goal is 3-4 times a week and I was able to do that this week! 

Have a great week, and catch some gains! 💪🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

Week of Workouts (SHRED W3)

Hi everyone and welcome back to my Fit Journey! If you have been following my Blog’s Instagram, you see that I had a tone of fun this week with Brittany Lupton’s SHRED Program! If I’m honest, I haven’t really been “shredding” pounds or really losing any weight, BUT, I have been maintaining weight, and doing A LOT better with my eating habits. Because, as we all know, abs aren’t made in the gym, their made in the kitchen! HAHA 😆 I’m funny I know!

Side note: I do warm up before workouts and cooldowns/stretch after workouts. If you’d like to know what those warm ups and cooldowns are, please read Warm Ups + Cooldowns! I am no fitness trainer, but the trainers I do follow and listen to, say that warming up your body before a workout and stretching afterward, are very beneficial and helpful to your body and muscles/recovery. I attest to that and am proof of that! Also, foam rolling helps me after leg days and some back days.

Ps. I do yoga on my two rest days so that my body is still being stretched and moved in some way.

Also, last week in my week of workouts explanations I would say how I did the workout and if it was how Britt planned it to be or not, this time, I’m just going to put exactly what I did, and if you’d like to know the actual workout plan that Britt assigned, then feel free to send leave a comment, send me a message/email, or DM on Instagram! All the links are below! So feel free to follow, like, share, and subscribe to my Blog’s website/email, TikTok, LinkTree, Instagram, Spotify playlist, and more!

Week of Workouts (SHRED W1)

Heyyy friends! Ya girl is back and better than ever in the gym! This is the first week of 20223 and I gotta say, I accomplished a lot this week. I ran and SPRINT on the treadmill. I did box jumps and explosive step ups! Y’all, Brittany Lupton really did it with this one! The SHRED program she has on her app has really pushed me this week and helped me overcome my fears of “I can’t do that kind of workout” and “that looks too hard, let me find something else as an alternate”. We all know we are our own worse critics. I admit, I’m working on my positive self-talk because, as y’all know, we can be so hard on ourselves.

The SHRED program is for fat loss but also with strength and resistance training, all in one! And let me tell you, I’ve been feeling it for sure. My heart rate has been up and each session has me dripping in sweat but that’s what I want. It’s a four week, five day a week program and listen…I was so skeptical on doing this program just because it was five days a week. That’s a lot for someone who is as busy as me, but I said “I can do this,” and I have, I finally got my five day workout week completed and that’s a reward in itself. If you have been following my Week of Workouts on the blog, you all know that I usually didn’t make that fifth day, and sometimes not even a fourth day but this week, I DID IT! And I feel so proud of myself for doing it!

So without further ado, let me give you each day’s workout!

Hamstring Curls (machine) 3×15

W1D2: Back + Biceps

Lat Pulldowns 3×10

TRI-COMPOUND-SET: 3×10 ON ALL (this was not how she wrote it in her program, I just wanted to work on form so I combined these three due to using lighter weights than I’m used to. She intended these three to be separate so feel free to do it how it works for you).

  1. Bent Over Row (Underhand Grip) (I used the smith machine for this exercise)
  2. Rear Delt Flys (I used 5lb plates and used the incline bench for support)

KB Deficit Reverse Lunge 4x30secs (I alternated each leg during the 30 secs, I held two 5lb Kettlebells, and stood on one 25lb plate for the deficit)

CIRCUIT: 4x30secs ON ALL (I didn’t realize I was supposed to do this circuit style until after the first two exercises so those top two were done separately from the rest of the circuit)

  1. Jump Squats (bodyweight)
  2. Explosive Step Up’s (bodyweight)
  3. Pulsing Sumo Squat (I held a 10lb Kettlebell)
  4. Wall Sit (bodyweight)

That completes my 5 day workout week!! I hope you give this a try and enjoyed reading!
