Leg Video Almost Done!

Just a little note to anyone checking in here… the leg video that I did on April 23rd is almost done. I have it all edited and just have to do the voice over now. Will probably have it done tomorrow, Wednesday May 11th. 🙂

It’s a longer video about 25 minutes… but will have me explaining things in the voice over. There will a small tip in this video for the hamstrings on the lying leg curl and also a good explanation of how I hit the different parts of the calf.

Some videos will be longer like this… and some will be shorter.

Hope you all are having a great day. See you soon!

Clifta’s Chest Workout May 6, 2016- Reno Personal Fitness Trainer

Hi!

20160507_091539 This was my quick chest workout from May 6, 2016. I got a really good pump from this. I didn’t have alot of time (like 15-20 minutes) so I timed my rest times to keep the pace moving and to keep the intensity up. Even though I was training faster… I still lifted more than last time on the Incline Press, which made me happy. I feel like my body is healing and getting more fit and conditioned each workout. 🙂 About 2 weeks ago when I did Incline DB Presses I did 15 lb. DB’s, as my heaviest weight, on the last set and could still feel my left shoulder/collar bone a little bit and stopped there… 15 lbs. was the heaviest I’ve been able to do in a long time. But today I did my last 2 sets with 20 lbs!!! Yay!! It feels like my body is getting stronger and that it’s able to handle more this week. This workout was before I got my hair done. See my workout below and more chest pics…. and a pic of my new purple hair. 🙂 This is was on a Friday… so the hair pic is with a Friday treat! 😉
