Current Gym Workout

1. 15 minutes Cycling: I usually cycle at a moderate pace for 8 minutes to warm up then peak for an interval of 3 minutes on the highest resistance on the bike, then back to moderate for the remaining time
2. 8-10 minutes Rowing: Level 8 out of 10, moderate pace
3. 10-15 minutes Cross Trainer: Resistance = 25
4. Leg weights using various machines: Inner thighs, glutes, quads etc also front and side lunges
5. Skipping - fast and for as long as I can (!), rest for 1 minute and repeat
6. Abs/floor work: Crunches, press ups, bicycle, sea crunches, plank etc
7. Wood chopper for 15 reps each side
8. Weights: Sometimes free weights e.g. 'skull crushers', bicep curls etc but also using various machines. Rowing like machine (not sure of the name!) but that one... 3 sets of 12 reps to work arms all over
9. Running for 10 minutes straight on level 9.5 incline 1.0, then 2 minutes on 12.0, then cool down jog on 7.5 into a walk 4.5
10. Stretch and relax!

This is my current work out when I am at the gym but I need to mix it up soon as I have been doing this for ages, bar the change up in number 8 as I am focusing on upper arms at the moment.
Your body gets used to a work out after 12 weeks, and becomes less effective so remember to change up your routine to maximise results!
