My Weekly Exercise Plan | Ep. 3

In today’s episode I discuss what my weekly exercise plan has been over the last few years and how it has evolved.

I have always done around 3-6 days per week so it has varied depending on what I am training for. In the past, I trained a lot more because I was an athlete and played multiple sports, but now adays I am mainly focusing on building a great physique through intense training, great nutrition, and aiding my fat loss to stay lean with 1-2 day FASTS on occasion.

I played box lacrosse, basketball, and soccer for a number of years when I was younger. I first started training at the age of 9 or 10.

The first exercises that I did were:

Age 9-16

1. Pushups

2. Bicep Curls

First Weightlifting Workout Routine Age 17:

1. Chest/Tris, Back/Bis, Legs/Abs/Calves (This routine I would do for 5 days/week and I would do some cardio sometimes in between workout days)

Example: 

Mon-Chest/Tris, 

Tues-Back/Bis, 

Wed-Legs/Abs/Calves 

Thursday-Chest/Tris

Friday-Legs/Abs/Calves

Second Workout Routine Age 19:

2. HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) 

I would train 5-6 days/week but for 25-35 min super intense. THese workouts would vary quite a bit but to give you an example:

Monday– Full Body, 

Tues-HIIT Circuit (Jumping Jacks, Pushups, Bodyweight Squats, Burpees) 3 sets each x 30 seconds (15 sec rest)

Wed-Windmill Sprints or Jumprope for 3 sets x 30 sec for 90-100% max effort

Thurs-Full Body

Friday-HIIT Circuit (Squats, Pushups, Pullups, Dips) 4 sets each x 30 sec (15 sec rest)

3. Stronglifts (5×5) Workout routine, 3x/week, Strength Building Routine,  Age 20-24

Mon-BENCH PRESS/SQUAT/ROW (Rest 60-90 sec for beginning routine, as routine progresses do 2-5 min rest btwn sets)

Wed-STANDING PRESS/DEADLIFT/SQUAT

Fri-BENCH PRESS/SQUAT/ROW

4. Bro Split or Typical Bodybuilding Split (1 bodypart/day), Age 23-24

Mon-Chest

Tues-Arms

Wed-Back

Thurs-Shoulders

Fri-Legs/Calves

These are all to give you an idea of the types of workout plans/routines you can do, but again I’ve always done routines that I relate to the best. Many of the routines mentioned didn’t work for me all the time so I continually refine the type of training I do every 6-8 weeks or 1-2 months.

Daily Routine for a Healthy Body & Mind

Hi All,

In today’s video, I am going to discuss a “Daily Routine for a Healthy Body & Mind“.

Here is an example of a typical day in the life of my current daily routine for a healthy body & mind:

7:00-7:20am-Wakeup, wash face, make protein smoothie with protein powder and veggie greens, CBD Oil Supplementation 2ML

7:30-7:50am-Listen to business audiobook or audiobook related to my field of work

8:00-8:05am-Meditate for 5 min

8:05-8:10am-Morning Stretch for 2-3 min

8:10-4:30-Work

4:45-5pm-Listen to business podcast or podcast related to my field of work

5;30-6:30pm-Spend time with my girlfriend, cook dinner or prep lunches for next day

6:30-7:30pm-Gym or Cardio depending on what I am training that day

7:30-7:35pm-5 Min Yoga or Post-WorkoutStretch

7:40-8:40pm-Netflix and chill with my girlfriend

9-11pm-Schedule blog post & schedule youtube video, record podcast (Blog posts 2x/week, Podcast 1x/week)

Now the above daily routine is my routine during the workweek Mon-Fri but there will be slight variation on what I do on the weekend.

Typically, I like to sleep in till 9 or 10am on the weekend as I like to get caught up on my sleep if I didn’t get enough sleep during the week.

But, this is my everyday rhythm routine for a healthy body & mind, if you would like to see more posts like these or have some other ideas for future content, let me know down in the comments section below and be sure to comment, like, and subscribe for more content!

Work Smarter Not Harder, Here’s How

Hi All, In today’s video,

I am going to discuss “How to Work Smarter Not Harder, Here’s How”.

The Top 3 Tips for Working Smarter, Not Harder are:

1. Delete Social Media

a) By deleting social media this will free up more of your time to do what’s most important to you and to help you avoid a sea of distraction if you really do need to use it, use it occasionally on your laptop or desktop computer but for the love of god take it off your phone otherwise you will never be able to avoid the temptation to waste time

2. Prioritize your top priorities

b) What activities yield the largest return on your time? Figure out what those are and do those daily and consistently and you will eventually reach your short and long term goals (Highest importance to least importance)

3. Focus on one project or one task at a time

c) By putting all your attention on one task, your brain will thank you for it. Singular focus is what will help you complete tasks faster and more efficiently since you won’t be doing multiple things at once. Do one thing at a time and you will reap the rewards and complete more of your projects.

If you found value in this video, give it a thumbs up, like, and subscribe, and look forward to seeing you all next time.
