It’s the start of a new workout week. Last Wednesday I saw my doctor & got clearance to do as I please. There is still fluid in the left side of my chest so I didn’t feel comfortable working it out. I tried doing a couple of different exercises very light but felt kind of awkward. So I think I’m going to give it 1 more week before I start a full routine. So this week I will continue the same routine from week 1.

When I get back to my full routine it will go as follows: Monday I will start with legs, calves & 25 min. cardio. It seems as if everyone in the gym wants to do chest that day. Tuesday will be abs, chest, triceps & 25 min. cardio. Wednesday I will take off for rest. Thursday will be back, biceps, calves, & 25 mins cardio. Friday will be shoulders & abs. Saturday & Sunday will be days to rest or maybe some light cardio. I feel 4 days of weight training is enough to build muscle & stay lean. Remember your muscles grow during rest periods not in the gym. To many people over train and cause more harm then good.

Hopefully, I feel more comfortable next week so I can get with the program. I’m making progress but the real progress will come when I start this full routine. Remember performance-enhancing drugs are not good. Its a temporary look & is bad for your health. Our goals when working out should be to stay healthy & lean. Stay focused & continue the game plan if its working. If not switch it up. What may work for me may not work for you. We are all genetically different some more gifted then others. Stay Focused to see results!
