The Inaugural LGF (Home) Gym Workout

November 3, 2013 By LazyGirlFitness Leave a Comment

gym workoutOutdoor workouts are fabulous (after all, they’re what LGF was built on!) but there’s nothing wrong with admitting you like to sweat it out in the gym on occasion as well. I actually haven’t had a gym membership in a while now and I must admit, there are times when I do miss it. Lucky for me I got a little dose of the good stuff last weekend while I was at home.

Yes, in case you missed my non-stop nattering about it, last weekend I travelled north for my brother’s wedding, making an overnight pitstop at mum and dad’s on the way. Lucky for me, they’ve converted the back part of one of the garages into a home gym, and it seemed silly not to take advantage of it while I was there.

The setup is pretty sweet – they’ve got a treadmill, kettlebells, a couple of benches, dumbbells, barbells, a step, medicine balls, a Swiss ball and an old cable machine (and I’m sure there’s other stuff I’m forgetting). It’s not the fanciest stuff going around – but it doesn’t have to be.

gym workout While I was there I put together this gym workout for myself and I thought you might enjoy it too! The format is a little bit different to what I usually go in for because I didn’t feel up to a really high intensity circuit. Instead I decided to break things up a little differently, supersetting an upper body exercise with a lower body exercise. Supersetting simply means you have no rest between the exercises – you finish rep 12 of exercise A and begin immediately on rep 1 of exercise B. Then you may rest, before beginning exercise A again.

So here it is in all its glory… I think it might be the first gym workout I’ve posted on here outside of my Facebook Post-it Note workouts. So enjoy it!
