Functional Work Out

If you read my last blog, you know what my challenge is when it comes to exercising. I’m working towards my fitness goals but I have to set them first. I’ve starting to incorporate cardio into my workouts by adding at least a 10 minute workout either, jogging or sprinting intervals, but we shall see how that goes.

In the meantime, I can’t neglect the rest of my body. I like lifting weights but for some reason I’m just not arm strong. I have overall body strength but when it comes to exercises like bench press that focus on upper body, I have been falling short. I can do a few reps, then I feel weak and usually give up after one set.

I’m going to try and do some functional workouts. Functional workouts incorporate exercises that work on strengthening the entire body. I think it will have more of benefit for me. I was doing some research to get some ideas and I stumbled upon a few websites like Kettlebell Workouts that share several kettle bell exercises and I thought, why not try these, I already have access to kettle bells.. It will be something new, but it can be fun to try new things. I’m excited to feel the burn.
