Best Back Workout
Hey Everyone!
Today, I’m sharing one of my back workouts with you!! I do these workouts about once a week. The single arm cable lat pull variation is definitely my favorite in this set. I love being able to see the difference it makes in my back, after a few months. I like to use the 10-15 pound weight for the first, 20-25 pound weight for the second, and 40-55 pound weight for the last workout on the cable machine.
I do three sets of the following:
Single Arm Cable Lat Pull Variation 10 Reps (Each Arm)
Low Position Cable Row 10 Reps
Close Grip Pulldowns 10 Reps
Here is a video of me doing these exercises so that you can see what they are if you are unfamiliar with them! When you do these exercises keep your movements slow and controlled. You will see results faster if you do this.

Cable Triceps & Biceps
Hey Everyone!
Today, I’m sharing one of my arm workouts with you!! I do these workouts about once a week. You want to strengthen both your biceps and triceps to keep them even. You don’t want one to be a lot stronger than the other or it can cause mobility issues. You don’t have to work them on the same day, just make sure that you are focusing on both and not just one. I like to use the 20 to 25 pound weight on the cable machine for this workout.
I do three sets of the following:
Close Grip Cable Tricep Pushdowns 10 Reps
Cable Tricep Pushdown 21’s 21 Reps (7 focused on the top, 7 focused on the bottom, and 7 full movement)
Cable Bicep Curl 21’s 21 Reps (7 focused on the top, 7 focused on the bottom, and 7 full movement)
Here is a video of me doing these exercises so that you can see what they are if you are unfamiliar with them! When you do these exercises keep your movements slow and controlled. You will see results faster if you do this.

Cable Chest Workout
Hey Everyone!
Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite chest workouts with you!! I usually do this workout about once a week on chest day. I really felt a difference when I started to incorporate this workout into my chest day. I feel so much stronger with this workout. I like to use the 2.5 to 7.5 pound weight on the cable machine for this workout for each arm. Try to keep your arms slightly bent so you don’t hyperextend. Focus on flexing your chest with each movement, really feel it.
I do three sets of the following:
Standing Cable Crossover Press / Flyes 10 Reps
Standing Decline Cable Press 10 Reps
Single Arm Low Cable Crossover 10 Reps (Each Arm)
Here is a video of me doing these exercises so that you can see what they are if you are unfamiliar with them! I have sped up this video a little bit so when you do it keep your movements slow and controlled. You will see results faster if you do this.

LLS Resilience Challenge
Hi Everybody! Today I am sharing a fun challenge that you could join me in doing. It is the LLS Team in Training Resilience Challenge!
What is the challenge? It is a 30-day movement & fundraising challenge dedicated to supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.During the month of September, Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we challenge each participant to complete 50 miles in whichever way they prefer (running, walking, cycling, etc.) and aim to raise $500 towards our mission. Registration is free, and there is no fundraising commitment but we know the most resilient participants will crush the fundraising challenge. You can even earn prizes depending on how much money you raise. I have personally committed to running the full 50 miles and I’m already 5 miles in as of this morning.
So why am I doing this challenge? I actually have multiple reasons. First, I have been trying to get more cardio in each week and this can help to motivate me even on the hard days. Second, I volunteer for LLS and have been for over six years. They have been struggling to get donations during this time due to COVID. I want to help to remind people (if they are not struggling as well). Third, I have two family members and multiple friends that have had blood cancers. LLS has a mission to find a cure! I would love to raise $500 for them!

At Home Abs
Hey Everyone!
Today I’ve got an at home ab workout just in time for summer!! These are some of my favorite ab exercises that I love to use frequently. I recommend doing abs about two or three times a week. Any more than that can make it so your abs don’t have time to recover in between. I’ve found that doing it this way helps to build your abs faster.
I do three sets of the following:
Butterfly Sit-ups 10 Reps
30 Second Plank
Side Plank Hip Dips 10 Reps (Each Side)
Heel Touchers 10 Reps (Each Heel)
Here is a video of me doing these exercises so that you can see what they are if you are unfamiliar with them! I have sped up this video quite a bit so when you do it keep your movements slow and controlled. You will see results faster if you do this.

I do three sets of the following for each leg:
Leg Lifts 10 Reps
Rainbows 10 Reps
Hamstring Curls 10 Reps
Kickbacks 10 Reps
Donkey kicks 10 Reps
