Arm Blast!

Hey what's up everyone! Well thank God it's Monday! Today was a really good day at work today . I actually got my workout in before I actually train any of my clients. I usually come into work 2 hours early to give me a good window of time to do my training with ease and not in so much of a rush. The weather outside started of with rain then it started to snow as I walked out of work! It was a beautiful view to be honest. I can see the NY skyline from across the Hudson and at night with the snow coming down it's just a pleasing view. I walked to the train station with a smile in my face while I see everyone else rushing coming out of the train station all rushing to go home. I happily strolled to the station just enjoying the music in my ears (iPod) and just thinking about my future. Below is a picture of what is going on outside right now. 



Anyways I started of my training session with a foam roller! This thing cracks my back and gives the cheapest but very relaxing massage to my back. You can actually foam roll other body parts but I'm gonna have to YouTube it or something because I might need alittle more info on how to actually do them. After foam rolling I stretched my entire body to prevent injury, plus it just feels good. So many people feel stiff and just ache because they hardly ever stretch. I promise you if you stretch in the A.M when you wake up and maybe 30 mins before you go to sleep, you will feel a whole lot better.

I started off with pull ups to get the blood pumping around my body and also warm up my shoulders since I have a previous injury which still lingers around.

Well this is my routine for today! Remember to watch your form when doing these exercises. Elbow placement makes a big difference! I added some exercises in my routine since I lack in some areas, so I will continue to add them throughout the week to help bring them out alittle more.
