Wednesday's Workout: Back and Biceps

I mentioned before that I've been working with the Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer workouts that can be found on bodybuilding.com and here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-trainer.html. However, on some days I kind of just take what I know and what the workout suggests and I create my own little routine. Today, the focus was back and biceps. I always start out with a bit of cardio to make sure I get a good sweat going. Today was a little bit rougher than usual, I think my tossing and turning from last night may have left my body a little unprepared for today's workout, but I did my best to push through and get a solid lift in. I cut my cardio down to half an hour so that I would still feel motivated to actually lift afterwards. Depending on how the day feels, I'll switch between going heavier for as many reps as I can, or doing lower weight so that I can get specific sets in. I was a little bit all over the place today, but in the end I felt like I did pretty good and I have a feeling my biceps will be pretty sore tomorrow! 

On a maternity workout clothes note...finding good clothes to work out in while you are in the later stages of pregnancy sucks. But, I found these awesome Kirkland tank tops at Costco this last week that are meant to be worn a little blousy or pulled down over the butt, so they work out as belly coverage pretty well! They're also super comfy and keep me from feeling too gross throughout the workout which is saying something, I'm usually the kind of person that gets pretty sweaty when I am at the gym.
