Never say no to...

Breaking news:
This is what happens whenever I try to sit down and study my NASM personal trainer textbook. Help.


Moving on. Today's plan was strictly cardio. When I got on the treadmill, legs still sore from yesterday, my shoulders started tingling. Begging to be exhausted. So, I thought why not? I NEVER neglect a body part if they're feeling ready for a workout!! 


I just mixed shoulders and cardio intervals together for a SICK workout. Just over an hour long.


10 mins on treadmill: alternate 0% incline, 7.0 pace / 6% incline, 6.0 pace each minute


Shoulder superset: 4 sets
cable front raises w/rope 12 reps
shoulder press to windmill w/15lb kettlebell 12 reps


10 mins on stair master: level 6/8/10 alternate


Shoulder superset 2: 3 sets
seated dbell shoulder press 30lbs 8 reps
seated lateral raise 5lbs 15 reps


Shoulder circuit 3: 3 sets
Upright row 30lb bar 12 reps
Military press 30lb bar 12 reps
1 min plank


15 mins on stair master: level 7/max speed running alternate for 10 mins. Level 6-8 cooldown 5 mins


Since I do my major shoulder workouts on Wednesday, today was lighter volume and weight, but definitely felt it and worked my hardest. My muscles respond VERY well to my workouts, and my body puts on WEIGHT very easily, so thank god I train so hard and feed myself accordingly so that I build muscle and not a spare tire..


While I NEVER say no to a random set of flies or pushups or sprints if I'm in the mood and they're not part of my "plan," here are some other things I never say NO to:


--steamed vegetables 
--window shopping at lululemon
--adding flax seeds to pretty much any food
--a trip to starbucks
--monster zero
--oat bran in the morning (need to work on this..)
--ice cold water (or room temp. really not that picky. just thirsty)
--a side of fresh avocado with dinner veggies (look at how TINY this was! half of it fit INSIDE my tablespoon measure)
--a good workout
--tanning
--rest day
--relaxing by myself watching either: House of Payne, Fresh prince, Law and order SVU, or How High
--Taking obligatory ab pics with my phone. You all know that though. Pics with my cellphone in general. A must.


What don't YOU ever say no to!?
