Gym Workouts/Routines?

Question

So, I just started going to the gym and I feel kind of all over the place. I want to lose weight and tone up by July. What are some of your workout plans & circuits? Please be as detailed as you possibly can. (Workout + weight & reps)

Answer

This isn’t specific, but I know some people like to do push/pull days so they can alternate which muscles get worked and rested, while still doing full body workouts. For example, a push day would be chest & shoulders, biceps, abs, quads, and a pull day would be triceps, back, and hamstrings & glutes

Answer

I start out with 30 minutes of cardio followed by 1 hour of strength training then 10 minutes cardio again after. 
Everyday is different muscle group. Example:Monday-legs, Tuesday-arms+back+chest, Wednesday-abs, Thursday-lazy cardio

Answer

I use darebee.com for workout ideas. They have a huge library of workout circuits with instructions and visuals, and you can filter by different variables (ex. part of the body you wish to target, with or without weights, difficulty level, etc.). You can mix and match circuits or use their training plans. It’s a great resource, and the best part is it’s free! Give it a try!

Answer

My favourite workouts are HIIT (high intensity interval training)! I do each move as hard/fast as I can for 45 seconds then rest/ switch to the other equipment for 15 seconds. Here is one example of one I did on the weekend:
Running high knees - run on the spot, bringing your knees up to waist level with each step
Walking lunges - lunge across the room/gym holding 5lb weights in each hand, increasing your weight as you get stronger 
Jump squats - go down into a squat and then jump up and repeat 
Leg raises - lie on your mat and, keeping your legs straight, raise them up so your toes are pointed to the ceiling, then slowly drop them back to the mat and repeat 
Elevated bridges - press your back (across the shoulder blades) against a bench as leverage so you can lift yourself up into a bridge position, dipping your hips and squeezing at the top (don’t let your knees drift away from each other at the top!) add weight like a medicine ball as you get stronger 
And repeat 3X! You can switch out moves as you go, add in jumping jacks, planks, wall sits, etc. 
Two girls on Instagram that are great for posting workout examples are @naturallystephanie and @missemmatroupe 
I also will YouTube Blogilates videos and follow along at home 😊😊. 
Just remember, you can’t outrun a bad diet! Eat in a caloric deficit and focus on eating foods that provide a lot of nutritional value for the calories you’re eating! And be patient!!! 😊😊 good luck!

So your best bet to see results is to set a schedule and hold yourself accountable! I hit the gym 5 days a week and do yoga on my two off days to make sure I’m staying active. When I go to the gym I always start off with at least 20 minutes of cardio- usually a HIIT workout or increasing the resistance on the elliptical. ( if you’re trying to build a certain muscle group like the booty or chest, skip cardio those days to see gains instead of loss) I’ll target one or two distinct muscle groups ( shoulders&chest, outer glutes& inner thighs, back& biceps, etc.) 
I try to get in at least six weight lifting exercises, usually 4 sets of 12-15 reps depending on how much weight or how targeted the workout is. 
I try to always finish off with around 10-15 minutes of abs because dedicating a whole day to them would kill me😂
It doesn’t matter how much time you spend in the gym as long as you get it done! I will spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours in the gym depending on the day so don’t stress yourself out by trying to aim for a certain time span. I love to piece together workouts from instagram- Cristina Capron (she even has an app) and gainsbybrains are my favorites!! 
Hope this helps!!❤️
