A Week of Workouts Part 2- Chest Day

Day Two! Today is Chest Day which is one of my favorite workout days because you can lift heavier weight and feel a little more bad-ass than usual :)
Working out your chest is something that can be easily overlooked for women because it is typically associated with a "man's workout"- we see those men getting all worked up over their pecks- ugh we will never understand it..anyway…women typically focus on the butt and gut dynamic duo, maybe even arms but chest and back workouts are easily missed. However chest training and development leads to improved posture, core strength and a more symmetrical body type.

Chest Day

As a reminder, the goal is to do 4 sets with 8-10 reps per set. Start light and work your way up each week- the goal is to just barely finish that last rep. Your workout is the only time that (muscle) failure is actually success!

Print and Take- print the exercise routine out and put in your workout notebook to take the the gym- record your progress each week.
