Daily Steemit Workout Guide

Here is a summary of Today's Workout:
1. Elliptical x 30 minutes

I always start every workout with cardio. It doesn't matter if its back day, chest day, arm day, or leg day. Each and every day should start out with cardio. My reasoning for this is that it helps to stretch and warm up the different muscle groups of the body in order to prevent injury. So even though as you can see in the picture, ellipticals are great for building muscles of the thighs, and calfs. It is also a great aerobic exercise to help provide blood flow and oxygen to other muscle groups such as the arms, chest, and abdominals.

2. Seated Machine Chest Press

Next I moved onto the seated chest press. This is a great exercise to build the upper chest and triceps. I did the following weight and repetitions:
• Set 1: Weight - 180 lbs x 12 reps
• Set 2: Weight - 200 lbs x 12 reps
• Set 3: Weight - 200 lbs x 12 reps

3. Pull-Ups

As you can see from the picture above. The major muscle group this workout targets is the Latissimus dorsi. However, pull-ups are also great because they target just about the entire back, so you get a lot of bang for your buck with this exercise. I did the following repetitions:
• Set 1: 10 - pull-ups
• Set 2: 10 - pull-ups
• Set 3: 10 - pull-ups

4. Tricep Dips

This exercise is a great exercise to help build your triceps but at the same time also using the accessory muscles which are the chest and Latissimus dorsi. I did the following repetitions:
• Set 1: 12 - dips
• Set 2: 12 - dips
• Set 3: 12 - dips

5. Sit-Ups

Abdominals for me are the hardest and the muscle group I struggle with the most by far. So today I did 100 crunches (Two sets of 50 each).

6. Planks

As I was started to get really fatigued at the end of this workout I only held the plank for 2 minutes and decided to call it a day today.

Hopefully as I progress, the numbers will continue to rise and so too will the extent of each workout but for today, that is all. Until next time.
