I have always been and will probably always be a girl who prefers the gym over other fitness activities. It could be because I’m a lone wolf, it could be because I am now an Equinox member (life changing I tell you), it could be because it’s just what gives me the quickest results, I don’t know, but weight training at Equinox has been my best friend – I’ve managed to eat and drink myself silly living in LA and stay fit because of it. We’re plugging right along with this whole fashion and fitness theme today so following our article from this morning and in continuation of our “work hard eat hard” / “How to Burn the Burger” series, I present to you, a few of my favorite exercises this month that you can add to your own October gym routine.
MONDAY: Quads & Inner Thighs
Featured Exercise: Weighted Front Lunge
TUESDAY: Back n’ Biceps
Featured Bicep Exercise: Hang Curls (my favorite curl)
Featured Back Exercise: Plank Rows
WEDNESDAY: Shoulders
Featured Exercise: Reverse Fly
THURSDAY: Buns n’ Hamstrings
Featured Buns Exercise: Kettlebell Front Squat
Featured Hamstring Exercise: Single Leg Kettlebell Deadlift
FRIDAY: Chest & Triceps
Featured Tricep Exercise: Single Arm Tricep Extension
Breaking up muscle groups by days is the most efficient and most exciting way to keep up with a routine, as far as I’m concerned. I aim to do 4 different exercises per muscle group, 4 sets of 12-15 reps, all the while attempting (key word attempting) to get in at least 20 minutes of cardio after weight training.
