Upper, Lower, and Total Body
Five Day Workout Schedule
I try to work out five times a week, around half an hour each. Strength training is what works best for me, so that is what I mostly do with a little cardio sprinkled in. Here is a rundown of my Monday through Friday workout schedule this week. These are videos I have found on YouTube that I really like and challenge me. They are NOT my videos I made myself. They can be done from home with a couple sets of different sized dumbbells.
Five Day Workout Schedule
Monday
Upper Body
20 Minute HARD Upper Body Workout with Dumbbells | Caroline Girvan
I used my 10 and 25 pound dumbbells.
I did a quick cardio warm up before I started of:
- 20 jumping jacks
- 20 high knees
- 20 butt kickers
Repeat warm up 3 times. I usually lift a little lighter than what is used in these videos as this chick is a BEAST. You got this!
Tuesday
Lower Body
45 MIN DB LEG WORKOUT | Lower Body | Quads | Hamstrings | Glutes | Calves | At Home Legs
I used my 20 and 25 pound dumbbells for this workout (one 25 lb dumbbell for most of the exercises). I ended my workout at the halfway point due to time restrictions and feeling pretty burnt out at that point. I will finish the workout on leg day next week. You can definitely do the whole thing if you are feeling up to it!
Wednesday
Light Cardio
45 minute walk with the double stroller
Thursday
Cardio and Lower Body
I went on a walk/sprint/jog with my two littles in the double stroller. I walked for 5 minutes, sprinted for 30 seconds, then slowed to a jog for 4.5 minutes. Then repeated two more times.
Later, I finished the second half of the leg workout from Tuesday.
Friday
Total Body
30 min. Traditional Full Body Strength Training – YouTube
I used my 15, 20, and 25 pound dumbbells.
Time to get strong. You got this!
