A new year, new day… time to get going.

I’m happy to say that I’m not starting new fitness goals this time of year, I’ve been going strong since October. I can’t say the same for this blog though, so no time like now to give it another go.

I was lucky enough to get a gym membership this last November, which really pushed me forward. A lot of what I want to share with this blog, besides my own progress, is all the info I have been finding to keep me going. Workout routines I use, free workout music I find on the net, even recipes if i find unique things that help me out. So let’s do it!

Workout routine (Resistance training):

Right now I’m using some routines by Scott Herman. He’s on youtube, has his own site and has some amazing videos on his channel. Right now I’m on a six-day routine and I’ve combined his workouts so I do two a day (that makes it so I can do each one twice a week). This is all just weightlifting… I personally throw in half an hour of cardio and some basic stretches to hit all the muscle groups as well. If you’re looking for some good intense weightlifting routines, these are good! You could combine these workouts any way you want but I like them this way:

Day 1: Chest (Click for video) / Triceps (Click for video)

Day 2: Back (Click for video) / Biceps (Click for video)

Day 3: Legs (Click for video) / Shoulders (Click for video)

Repeat

Free Music:

Found some great tracks on Le Castle Vania’s website (check out their download page). Basically some good high energy cyber techno… makes me feel like running up a mountain or lifting a building. So check them out. I definitely recommend the Bulletproof Tiger Mix tape… that almost an hour and a half of pumping beats. Darn straight!

Tell me what music you like to listen to when your working out in the comments below! Talk to you soon.
