Total Body Workout and HIIT


I love total body workout and HIIT. It works on toning all part of your body muscle, your core, your quads, hams, deltoid, bicep, tricep, obliques, glutes, arm and back. Although it will make you want to pass it, I find that this HIIT work best when you do it with your trainer. And why is so..coz you'll never finish the rep and set with your own will . Someone has to force u to do it :)
Normally my HIIT will consist of 10 workouts. A Superset workout
1. Squat dumbell press (40 sec)
2. Lunges with dumbell (40 sec)
Repeat 1 and 2 for 4 sets with no rest.
Rest 20 sec
3. Pull Up (assisted machine)
4. Push up
5. Chin up (assisted machine)
6.Burpee
7.Bicep curl
8.Tricep push up
9. Leg raises
10.Crunches

Kickboxing

Did my 1hr kickboxing yesterday and all my finger and palm now are numb :) Not only that, have sore muscle on my back, shoulder, forearm and neck. But i can feel that it is a good tone workout exercise for overall part of the body and can build muscle to the forearm. Basic move: Jab, Cross, Hook, Uppercut, Kick, Dunk http://www.livestrong.com/article/533142-muscles-that-become-sore-from-kickboxing/ Thumbs up!

Leg Press

Certainly not my favourite workout but hey luckily I have someone that force me to do it.. otherwise i will just ignore this machine..
Manage to do up to 60kg (each side) of leg press yesterday. 1st set - no weight (15 rep)
2nd set - 20 kg weight each side (12 rep)
3rd set - 40 kg weight each side (10 rep)
4th set - 60 kg weight each side (8 rep)
OMG.. my knees i week (but don't worry folks just for a couple of minutes) as i can still do smith machine squat for 4 reps right after that... :)
Thought: My trainer is crazy.. can do 200kg on each side.

Personal Training and Workout

There nerves I have going for a personal training is like going to sit for a paper test. The difference with the normal paper test and personal training is you'll never fail of the result from the test. Thought: the tricep push-up is harder than its look. i'll have to master this workout.

Plyometrics TRX

It was a really tiring workout with the TRX yesterday but I really feel good after it. Never in my PT i can finish up my drink from a whole water bootle and have to refill for another after the 2nd set. Hopefully i will get the strength to do it next time and improve. Thought: Poor my leg but they will sure thanks to me later.

H2O more H2O

Always remember to drink plenty of them. Now that only after i have the sore throat i drink more than i used to and the washroom is my best friend for the time being :)
