Hello my lovelies! So sorry for my lack of posts. I've been 'studying' for my exams so I haven't had much time to do anything. Finally went to gym yesterday after I don't even know how long. My stomach was so big I swear it was starting to drag the floor. My mum even asked me if I was pregnant.... SO YES, finally went to gym yesterday! So I thought I'd post what my workout was :).
Since it was my first time in ages, thought I'd make a grand entrance and wore hot pink shorts and runners HAHA.

I worked on arms yesterday. I like to work with lighter weights with more repetitions since I want the toned look, three sets each exercise and an increase in weight each set. Although I set a certain amount of reps each time, I use that only as a minimum and normally keep going until I literally cannot lift anymore. Lift till failure or the workout doesn't count. I also like to change my workouts after a while since I find that if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, eventually it stops working, and it can also get boring. Best thing to do at gym is have fun! :D I added a shoulder and lat workout too, and I also plank at the end of weights each time because I have a really weak core :(
Enjoy hehe

I do more reps for left arm because my right arm is dominant and stronger. Keep in mind that this is my workout. It may or may not suit you. It's best to work at your own pace for your own goals and if you're just starting off it's best if you do what you feel comfortable with first. BUT you need to push yourself of course! No point in going to gym if you're not going to work the hardest you can. You need the right mindset. It's honestly mind over matter for everything you do. If you think you can't do it you definitely can't because you've already accepted defeat. I reckon something that helps me push to imagine someone you strongly dislike when you're struggling on a rep HAHAHA. Honestly works every time. You're just like eff this bitch, get mad and the adrenaline just comes. But yes.. You need to WANT your dream body. Your desire must outweigh everything when you're at the gym because if it does, even if you're super tired, you'll still do the best you can and that's how you get results ;). My arms were shaking after I finished and right now they hurt so much while I'm typing this HAHA, SHOULD BE LIKE THIS AFTER EVERY WORKOUT OKAY?! Results don't come straight away, it'll happen gradually and sometimes you're like why don't I see any difference, what's the point of this? (trust me I know, used to complain so much about not seeing any difference) but it'll happen, so don't give up, just keep pushing and keep going because slow progress is better than no progress. Sometimes you don't even notice it, but others around you do. Progress photos are really good! I think that seeing progress is honestly the best part as it drives you to keep going.
Okay sorry for talking so much crap HAHA. I could write a whole essay on ways to push yourself and keep going so I think I'll just write a paragraph at the end of each workout so I don't overload you guys.
Time to go back to studying :( I promise I'll start blogging more!
Thanks for reading :)
