Lets Get Started

I get up at 4am and outline my workout schedule before I go to the gym. This morning I am doing Full Body Workout. My Full Body routine consists of:

Shoulder - Lateral Raise (machine)
Chest - Pectoral Fly (machine)
Back - Row/Rear Deltoid (machine)
Arm - Tricep Extension (rope)
           Overhead Tricep (rope)
           Bicep Curl (machine)
Lower Abs - Reverse Crunches
                     Planks
Upper Abs - Crunches w/the ball
                     Torso Rotation

With the Full Body Workout, I don't attempt to go heavy. I use this workout routine for form and isolation. I do 5 sets/12-15 reps for each routine.
When doing  these exercise, make sure you breathe, concentrate on formation, and don't rush your workout. You want to feel and isolate the areas you are working on.
To me, if I feel the burn on the area I am isolating then I've accomplished what I set out to do.

After I have completed my workout routine, I proceed to do my cardio. I do 20-30 minutes of cardio and it will either be the bike or treadmill.
For me, it is important to do the cardio last. If you do need to warm up, 10 minutes on the cardio machine should be sufficient. What you don't want to do is burn yourself out before you start your routine.

Once I complete my cardio, my last workout will be for my core. I do both upper and lower ab exercise.
My whole workout takes 2-2 1/2 hours. Make sure you drink plenty of water when working out.

If you are looking  for a quick way of getting into shape.......there is no such thing. This takes a lot of work, patience, and determination. Don't expect results over night. Stay off the scale. And NEVER GIVE UP.

Have a great workout.......Good Luck
