The Three Week Challenge

So I've been getting a bit bored with my gym routine and wanted to change things up a bit. I'm constantly looking for something new to "get into." This time, I'm going to see how fast I could lean out by following a healthy, smart plan. For the next three weeks I will be following a strict low-carb diet while performing a whole new workout program.I'll be tracking progress on the blog and posting pictures to show progress at the end.

My starting point:
Weight 160.8 lbs
Body Fat 9.7%

For the last two months, I have been focusing on building lean muscle by performing my exercises with light weight and high reps. What I have been doing was working, but now it's time to switch things up a bit. Yesterday was day 1 - started off good and strong. The lift isn't what I've been accustomed to, so after completion I really didn't feel like I taxed my body enough. The program calls for two days of cardio and upper body exercises, and two days with cardio and lower body movements.

Yesterday's workout consisted of:
15 mins Bike

25 reps Dumbbell Chest Press
20 reps Single Arm Dumbbell Row
20 reps Military Press
25 reps Biceps Curl
20 reps Triceps Kickbacks

10 mins Jump Rope

25 reps Dumbbell Chest Press
20 reps Single Arm Dumbbell Row
20 reps Military Press
25 reps Biceps Curl
20 reps Triceps Kickbacks

Today calls for more cardio and lower body exercises. Wish me luck!
