Workout Routine

My Workout Schedule

This has been my routine for the past 3 years straight, the only thing that has changed is the time of day that I do my workout. Before I started this I was doing another routine that I felt was not enough for me so I added more and more until I felt comfortable with my routine. At this point I have hit a plateau and am not gaining much muscle mass, only maintaining what I have. I would love to gain more muscle!

I wake 4am to start my routine, in which I do an hour of Billy Blanks' Tae Bo Bootcamp. This consists of 15 minutes of stretching and some lunges and push ups and cardio, followed by 30 minutes of weight training/cardio, and ends with total abs.

At 5am I do Tae Bo Cardio Circuit 1, which starts with upper body, then abs, then lower body, then back to abs and ends with total body cardio blast.

At 5:30am I finish up with a 30 minute total ab workout, which is 15 minutes of standing abs, and ends with 15 minutes on the floor.

I have found that mixing it up like this has worked the best for me.

I'm hoping to either add a little more to this routine soon, or change a few of these with some tougher routines and also add heavier weight. That is just a matter of buying some new weights, but I am a tightwad so I have had to resort to palming a fire extinguisher, which has actually worked out quite well so far. I'm starting to get too used to that now, though.

All of the videos listed above can be found on Amazon.com, and are well worth it. I swear by Tae Bo and will have it in some part of my routine for as long as I can!
