Day 1- Chest, triceps, shoulders and abs

Day one of my 6 weeks but here it is. Abbreviations are as follows:
MHR    Maximum heart rate 
FW       Free weights
RM       Resistance machine
BW       Body weight
DB        Dumb bell
BB        Barbell

Went YMCA in the morning and my workout was as follows:

1. 20 minutes(Not including 4min warmup and 3min cool down) of interval training on the upright cycle which was 30seconds at 90%MHR followed by 1minute at 70-75%MHR. I tend to do interval asits great for getting the heart rate up and your body in the fat burning zone.
2. Chest-3 sets 12 reps of bench pressBB, Lying chest flyes DB, pressups BW
3. Shoulders- 3 sets 12 reps of arnold pressDB, side raiseDB and seated bent over lateral raiseDB
4. Triceps- 3 sets 12 reps of tricep dipsRM, bent over tricep extensionsDB and dipsBW.

I finished the session off with some maintenance stretches using a whole body approach. I wont stick to the exact type of exercises each time i go to the gym only due to availability of the equipment as it gets quite busy at some times in the free weights area plus i want to keep my muscles guessing so that they get the fullest workout possible.

Evening session was all about the abs. I tried out for the first time P90X AB ripper. OMG 15minutes of pain. It consisted of 11 exercises performed 25 times, i did all 11 but did i do all the 25 reps for each one-NO. Definitely need some more ab work. The AB ripper programme is great though, works your core and all areas of the stomach, give it a go if your looking to develop your ab muscles and strenghen your core.
