Joanna Soh Weights Training Plan: Superset 1: Chest Press and Fly
Superset 2: Shoulder Press and Upright Row
Superset 3: Bicep Curls and Arm Circles
Superset 4: Superman Push Ups and Plank Up-Downs
Original Plan: Each superset contains 2 exercises, 10 reps each with no rest within supersets. Each superset is to be repeated for 3 rounds. After the 1st superset is finished, move onto the next superset, with no more than 1 minute rest between supersets.
What I did: I used two 1kg weights on each dumbbell (not sure what weight the handle is though), did 10 reps for each exercise and each superset for 2 rounds, rather than 3. For superset 4, I did normal push ups rather than superman push ups, since I couldn’t seem to get my balance right. Hoping to work on this though.
Neila Rey: HIIT Each round lasted 2 minutes, followed by 1 minute rest. I did 7 rounds, lasting 21 minutes (the last minute being a rest). One Round consisted of:
30 seconds high knees
30 seconds climbers
30 seconds high knees
30 seconds climbers
1 minute rest
Overall Overall, I’m really happy with today. I’ve always found high knees tough, but I got through the 20 minutes so that feels like an achievement. After the HIIT, I did the weights. Even though I only did 2 rounds of each superset rather than 3, I feel it was a good start to the programme and I’m feeling great. I want to improve over time- get to a stage where I can do the full workout and with heavier weights. Next week I want to add Neila Rey Total Abs to the challenge too.
Tomorrow doesn’t have a weights workout, but I’ll post about the Neila Rey HIIT aspect anyway. Looking forward to it :D
Hi
Okay, so this is the first time I've ever done a blog or anything like it so apologies if it’s all over the place or whatever. Prefer to stay anonymous so let’s just say my name is QcatQwerty. Right so where to begin…
Basically, I’m on a quest (I do love that word!) to become a better and happier person. Some time ago I felt quite unhappy. It felt like I was walking on a tightrope and each little thing that happened was an added weight and I was always just one step away from falling. I realised something needed to happen and I was the one who needed to do it. So I started my quest for happiness and I haven’t felt that bad since. Don’t get me wrong, I still have days (like everyone) where everything little thing will just annoy me, but it’s all about the way you deal with it that matters. Like, sure, it wasn’t ideal that that groovy silver nail polish ended up looking like alien blood, but hey least it was an ice breaker lol.
As aforementioned, my main goal is to be happy, but in order to get there, my plan is to:
- Be healthy: eat healthily and get fit. (whatever about eating well, it’s the getting fit part that’s gonna be the most challenging for me )
- Be optimistic/think positively
- Make time for others
- Love myself and others
- Concentrate on my studies
- Take time out to chillax with my hobbies >:D
I know it’s easier said than done, and I’ll probably trip more than once on the way, but I’m setting this blog up so I can hopefully help/ encourage other people to make positive changes in their own lives. It’s one thing reading articles and whatnot, but personally, I like being able to follow blogs where I can keep updated to how the bloggers are getting on with whatever. I plan on posting bits about my own life- like how I’m trying to follow those six main points, but I also hope to post advice on dealing with things too- whether it’s being stressed out or feeling unhappy.
Right! So with that out of the way, let me just tell you a bit about myself:
I’m a 20 year old girl from Ireland. I’m studying physics in university and absolutely loving it! I love music- listening and playing, art, walking and nature. Alien blood coloured nail polish… not so much :P
That's pretty much it for now. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions for blogs and whatnot.
Thanks for reading!
