Back and Shoulders

Today I am doing a shoulder and back workout. In my workout I alternate a shoulder exercise with a back exercise. If you click on the name of the exercise I have listed, you will be linked to bodybuilding.com where you can get a full video explanation of the exercise, what kind of equipment to use, and what specific muscle group the exercise targets. Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone on your last set! Even if you can only get two or three reps, going up in weight is what is going to help you get stronger, build muscle, and torch that fat! If you are comfortable during your workout, then you aren't using your full potential! Going to the gym with a friend is a great way to make sure that you always push your limits.... they can spot you so you won't be afraid to lift heavier, and motivate you to do more than you think you are capable of. Happy lifting! :)

Back and Shoulders Workout:

Wide Grip Lat Pulldown
Seated Dumbbell Press
Barbell T-Bar Row
Front Incline Dumbbell Raise
Back Extensions
Bent Over Cable Lateral Raise
One Arm Dumbbell Rows

At the end of my lifting workout I will do 15-20 minutes of high intensity interval training. Many cardio machines offer preset interval programs you can choose from or you can control the intensity yourself. Doing cardio after you lift weights is going to increase the amount of time that your body continues to burn after working, which is always a good thing!
