Lesley's fitness workout week 2

For this past week, I haven’t done any exercise since I have been sick. This has interrupted my progress and therefore, I need to work harder this time. While I was sick I decided to make significant changes. I redesigned the workout for the core and increased the workout frequency to every day. The leg and cardio day is still the same routine as before and as for the arms, the routine has slightly changed. I modified the arm exercises because I realized that I did not have the strength to perform 3 sets of actual push-ups, so instead, I’m performing the exercises on an easier level; on my knees. This will just be for the first few weeks and then I will perform the exercises normally when the following routine becomes too easy for me. The frequencies for the arm and leg day still the same. Core Workout: Heels to Heaven, 45 Sec (Lying down while raising the legs up) Step Through Plank, 45 sec X-Men Crunch, 12 Reps (A crunch but with your body spread out like an X) Thread the Needle, 10 Reps Each Side (A plank but raising the arms up to the side) Jackknifes, 45 Sec (similar to crunches) Stationary Bicycle, 30 Sec (Legs up 90 degrees while doing crunches) Do as many sets of each exercise as you can. Then when you can’t, move onto the next exercise. Arm Workout: 10 Push-ups 5 Diamond Push-ups 10 Dips 5 Wide Grip Push-ups

3 sets
