Week 6; Workout 1

 Happy Wednesday!

The workout on Tuesday was a leg training day. I started off with the good old barbell squats, then proceeded to Bulgarian split squats, and lastly finished off with a core exercise. Below is the description of each exercise.

Barbell squats: 225lbs; 3 sets; 3 reps

185lbs; 1 set; 4 reps


Bulgarian split squats: 35lbs dumbbells; 3 sets each leg; 8 reps


Core exercise: 10 hanging knee raise followed by plank with hands touching sides of the floor (20 reps). Total of 3 sets.


Here are a few photos of my weight training session:

Week 1; Workout 2

 Today, this Sunday, I went for a bike ride with my dad since the weather was perfect. We biked for roughly one hour, at an RPE scale of around 2-3. It was also continuous cardiovascular exercise.  We biked just shy of 9 km. There were some steep parts of the bike path when we crossed small bridges. All in all, we had an awesome time!

Week 5; Exercise 1

 Happy Sunday, For this workout I did the one on LEA "the circuit exercise." I changed some parts up, though. Here is my take on it: Circuit 1: 20 push ups + 20 jump squats + 20 jumping lunges Circuit 2: 20 jumping lunges (reverse lunge to jumping off one foot with the opposite leg doing a knee kick) + 30 seconds plank alternating legs + 15 triceps dips Circuit 3: 20 bicycle crunches + 30 side hops each leg + 15 inchworms I completed 2 rounds. My goal was to complete 3, but I felt gassed out, especially because I had an 8 hour shift before the exercise. We'll get 3 rounds next week! Here is a short video of the workout on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qziROO2zPYU Have a great week!
