My Typical Workout Routine
This week, I had to post a review of a 9Round
workout, which is a kickboxing gym. However, the day I went there,
they closed earlier than usual. So keep an eye out for my 9Round Review, which
should be the next fitness post!
But don’t worry; I still have a fitness post for this week!
I’m going to share with you my typical workout routine. I usually try to
workout five times a week while I am in school, but I aim for six days a week
when I am not in school.
I always start my workout with a cardio warm-up. If I walked
to the gym, like I do when I am at school, I will either run on the elliptical or
use the StairStepper for a total of ten minutes. If I drove to the gym, like I
do when I am not at school, I will use both machines for a total of twenty
minutes.
Next, I will work on a specific muscle group. I usually work
on abs, chest and back, arms, or legs. Depending on how much time I have to
workout that week, I might combine muscle groups. I like to do a variety of bodyweight, free
weight/dumbbell, and machine exercises. When using a machine, the specific
muscles you are working are isolated. When you do bodyweight or free weight
exercises, the muscles are not isolated as much, so you tend to work more
muscles. I like to use a combination of exercise because I like the different
benefits each provides. I typically aim to spend between twenty and thirty
minutes focusing on a specific muscle group. My typical workout lasts between 30
minutes and an hour, and it depends on how much time I have to workout that
day.
Finally, I like to cool down, or more accurately, warm up,
in the sauna post workout. Sometimes, after a particularly tough workout, I
will stretch in the sauna. Other times, I just like to relax in it. Plus it’s
good for your skin! I love saunas, and sometimes, I will go to the gym just to
go to the sauna. When I was deciding on where to go to law school, I Googled
the schools I was interested in to see if any had a sauna. Unfortunately, none
of the schools I wanted to go to had one. But once I actually ended up on
campus, I found out that my school had one. However, it was hidden in a smaller
gym, and in the less popular locker room. Many people don’t know about it, but
it is a hidden gem!
So that is my typical workout routine- nothing too fancy. I try to hit every muscle group at least once a week. Sometimes it doesn’t
work out like that, but it’s not a big deal. I just will workout the muscle
group I missed twice the next week if I have to. What is your usual workout
routine?? I’d love to read them in the comments!
