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
Lower Body
I occasionally make my own workouts. Today is one of those days. So, grab a set of heavy dumbbells (I used 25 lbs) and get started!
Build a Booty (And Calves) Workout – Type b-oy mom: honest Parenting and living with Four Boys
Great job! Don’t forget to stretch 🙂
Tuesday
Upper Body
30 MIN UPPER BODY STRENGTH | + Weights | Chest | Back | Shoulders | Arms | Core | Banded Options
I used my 10, 15 and 20 pound dumbbells for this workout.
Wednesday
Strength/Cardio
Farmer’s Walk with 30 pound dumbbells
- Simply grab a set of heavy dumbbells and walk for as long as you can holding them down by your side.
- In my case, I did one lap around my house with weights, then one without holding weights. I alternated between holding the weights and just walking without weights 10 times. You could even run/sprint when you are not holding the weights.
- The farmer’s walk/hold can help strengthen the muscles needed for pullups, which is something I am working to improve.
Later in the day, I did a fun challenge with my two oldest boys. We tried to see how many sit-ups we could do in two minutes. Then how many push-ups in two minutes. We ended with seeing how many jumping jacks we could do in two minutes. Here were my results:
- 53 sit-ups
- 50 push-ups
- 144 jumping jacks
Grab your kiddos and give it a try. We had a blast! How many of each did you get in two minutes?
