starting today

1st of april: The journey begins....

Today I'll start lifting instead of bodypump. I love bodypump but I want to see changes and it's said that lifting is needed for that: Actually I'm really excited about that and motivated. Found a group in FB, FFF, which is also an IF group but just for women. I love it there, everyone is so motivating! also all the IG girls who lift are great inspiration for me! I just hope I don't make much of a fool of myself in the weights room, so newbie!!!!



So the training is gonna look like this: ( that's the training that Jenn, from FFF followed)


Day 1 (Monday)

  • 5-min walk for warm-up.
  • Deadlift 2-3 sets of 4-5 reps reverse pyramid style
  • Rest 5 mins.
  • Leg extensions - Same setup as deadlifts, but reps a bit higher (6-8)
  • Rest 5 mins.
  • Chins - Same as deads


Day 3 (Wednesday)

  • 5-min walk for warm-up.
  • Bench press 2-3 sets of 5-7 reps reverse pyramid style
  • Rest 5 mins
  • Inclinde Dumbbell Press 2 sets of 5-7 reps reverse pyramid style
  • Pull-ups 2-3 sets with body weight.
  • Rest 5 mins
  • Weighted Dips (if you feel up to it) 2 sets of 5-7 reverse pyramid style


Day 5 (Friday)

  • Squats 2-3 sets of 5-7 reps reverse pyramid style
