10 minute arm workout + motivation to get to the gym :)
HELLO CUTIES!!!
I have had a lot of requests recently on what I do for my workouts, how I can do a pull-up, and how I have motivation. Well, I hope to answer all of these things for you, and we can go on this journey together. First off, I have been extremely frustrated as my tailbone has been setting me back and I can’t really lift a lot of weight due to my back being inflamed. So most importantly you should remember to give your body some rest/ a break.
Over the past 3 ish years, I have made it a goal of mine to be able to do pull-ups. I just think it’s a badass thing to be able to do… you know? I started out using a pull-up assistance band, and now I can do them without help. Once I started doing pull-ups I would just try and do one more each day. (which I talked about in my Tik Tok) But anyways, all you people asking me… YOU GOT THIS BABE!! I think a lot of beginners, are intimated by the gym. Which is fair because the gym can be scary. The issue is a lot of you don’t know what workouts to do. Okay, it’s time we educate ourselves. I am the QUEEN of watching YouTube videos on how to do a certain workout. To be honest, we were all clueless at one point, until someone taught us or showed us! Also when I first started working out, all the machines were so intimidating. I would just walk past them because I was too scared to look up how to use them. Now as someone that uses them, most of the machines actually have a small little guide that teaches you what to do. Also, every gym has a different machine, so if I want to use the machine I will just google it. LOL! It’s time to be confident in the gym my people!
Next, the only reason I have the motivation about working out is I love the way I feel all day when I work out in the morning. I feel so much more energy to get things done, and I just personally feel happier. Not to mention the appearance benefits! I love looking stronger, it makes me want to lift more and more! I just want to get better each and every day. If you are stuck in this phase of not wanting to go… everyone was once there at some point. I think if you push through the first 3 weeks/ month you will get over the “I hate going” mentality. I also want to mention, people who have been working out for years and years still feel like this. Don’t beat yourself up if you aren’t feeling well and you can’t work out. Listen to your body. 🙂
I also want to mention I do not know everything about working out, and would love y’alls feedback. I also feel like I have no idea what I’m doing, but we have to start somewhere right? You could comment “girl that workout is not called that.” To be honest, I am the worst at knowing the names of workouts, but I am trying! Again, I want you guys to be on this journey with me. Right now I am really learning that form is everything, and I keep hurting my back because of my bad form!
Anyways my normal workout routine would be Monday, Wednesday, & Friday I normally work arms/shoulders/ and abs at the end. Tuesday & Thursday I work my legs and booty. Every other week I will switch the schedule so I would be doing booty/ legs three times a week. (I hope that makes sense) Anyways, for every workout, I try and do 20 minutes of cardio. Whether that be running, walking at an incline (12) and walking at 3.5 mph, doing stairs, biking, or doing the elliptical. Then I will spend the rest of the time lifting weights.
I wanted to share a small little arm workout if you might be struggling with what to do at the gym!
2 rounds
- 5 Pull-ups
- 10 normal curls (I use 20lbs.. Try and start a small weight and focus on your form and being very slow with it)
- 10 curls to your opposite shoulder (Watch Tik Tok for a visual)
- 10 curls to the other shoulder
- 10 shoulder presses
Now do that all again ?
I know this was a very small little arm workout, but I just wanted to start small. Please comment if you want something more specific, and if you are in Nashville let’s workout together hehe 🙂 ILY
