OK gals and guys, I need some help now. No matter how hard I try, I CANNOT seem to get any more time, for now, to devote to my home gym...certainly not the time to attend a gym!! lol Between my degree, a very demanding 9 month old, other wifely duties LOL, and going back to work soon, I can't seem to find an effective routine.
I have a Northern Lights gym, in case anyone is familiar with them (Canadian), and they are manufactured for gym quality and use. Does all major exercises....leg extensions, thigh ab/adduction, hamstrings, seated rows, fly,3 postion seated chest press, lat pull down, and a bar to attach to do bicep curls and the like. I was only doing 2 sets (3 when I was lucky) of 15 reps of a weight that is heavy enough that if I were to do one more rep I'd probably lose my form.
Now, what can I do to get the most of this? It should preferably fit into 30-60 min. Should I go 3 reps with less weight? Stay 2 reps and go heavier? 2 reps and decreasing weight with the last? How would it be best to shock my muscles to get the most out of my working out? I also currently do 4 days of 30-45 min cardio/week.
