Workouts



I try to rotate upper body workouts and lower body workouts every other day with cardio in between these sessions. These are based on the Body for Life workouts.Why Body for Life?  Because they can be done at home with the equipment I have.  I can also get a great strength workout.  I do one exercise with descending reps (12, 10, 8, 6 reps starting off with light weights and getting heavier as I decrease my reps) and then do 2 sets of 12 reps of another exercise.  A typical example of my workouts are:
