Who am I?

I’m sure everyone wants to know more about me, right? No, Oh well here it is for everyone anyway!

I am a graduate of the University of Florida!! Go GATORS!! I LOVE to travel. I went to Germany and France a few years ago and it was fabulous!! We explored the Mayan Ruins in Mexico on a cruise a few years back, on our honeymoon we traveled all over Alaska, for our 2 year anniversary we explored South East Asia. There’s so many places we want to see and explore.

I grew up in Central Florida and here I am still. I love living in Florida, there’s so much to see and do. This also means that a lot of my closest friends I have known since elementary school. Not many people can say that 🙂

I bought my first house in February of 2010, we bought an investment house in 2015, spent 3 months renovating it, ended up living there for 2 years before selling it to move to our current house. We still have the original house as a rental property and so far it’s been a great investment. I love DIY and creating stuff on my own. We’ve been in our current house for a year now and I’m still working on my long list of things I want to do and add to the house. There’s always something I want to do and change and I’m sure my husband loves all the projects I throw at him every weekend!

We adopted the cutest little puppy in July 2011! He was born on St. Patrick’s day and we named him Lucky! He’s super sweet. In Sept 2013 we adopted a second puppy named Nigel, because Lucky needed a partner in crime to play with. For now these two are our only children. Hopefully that will change soon. If I were younger I would be happy to wait a few more years and enjoy this adventure we are on in life, but alas I’m not and the time is near to start the next phase of life for us.

We got married in February of 2012 and so far life has been one big adventure. It’s so much more than I could have ever asked for or wanted. Matt makes everyday better than the last and we always have fun together whether we’re off on an adventure or hanging out at home all weekend.

I have weird habits (don’t act like you don’t have some too) – I have to sit behind the driver’s seat if I’m in the back seat of the car. I will lock my car about 5 times before I believe it’s actually locked. I’m chronically late (I can’t help it, it just happens!), I hate mornings, shady people, bad drivers, and stupid questions (yes, they do exist), people who hoover (my #1 pet peeve), and drama.

One upon a time I made a list of 30 things to do before I turned 30 and I completed 97% of the list before the deadline. The one item left was to complete a full marathon and I finally met that goal 2 years ago.  It’s always good to have goals in life and I urge you to make some for your self too, before your next “milestone” birthday. Maybe I’ll make a 40 before 40 list?

I hope you stay awhile, join my mailing list, and get to know me a little more! Follow me over on Instagram to see what I’m up too in between posts.

    Perform three sets of 5–6 reps, including weight
    to the bar every set. Your ultimate set must be an actual struggle
    to complete with good kind. The amount of preliminary sets depends
    on your primary exercise’s weight. The upside, however,
    is you’ve your weekends to rest up and recover so you can really feel properly rested by
    Monday to start the cycle anew. The hardest half for most individuals is normally both vitamin or workout
    development. Not everyone research vitamin and dietetics, or
    train science for that matter. Otherwise, you might find yourself
    hurting yourself, or on the very least not seeing optimal results.

    Of course this whole dialog isn’t black and white
    as everyone is different and some will react to sure routines better than others.
    At the tip of the day though, these splits will definitely profit the majority of pure lifters who train proper and eat proper.
    Earlier Than attempting any of those exercises, you have to first prepare
    your muscle tissue and joints with a warm-up. This will
    assist cut back your threat of harm and make your training extra productive.
    That stated, we really need to stress that our 6 day training cut up
    isn’t for newbies. If you are a newbie, get on one of our 3
    day, 4 day or 5 day splits for a pair months. However,
    the general consensus is that the most effective 6 day
    break up will be one that trains each muscle group no much less than twice per week.

    In reality, most find superset exercises highly taxing and
    like “straight sets” as a substitute. Deciding what muscle groups to exercise together
    largely is dependent upon what number of instances per
    week you probably can prepare. The solely potential
    downsides are that it calls for a significant weekly time commitment and
    is extra intense than many different routines, which
    suggests you’ll must focus extra on restoration.
    Just as with the Push – Pull+Legs break up we checked out,
    there are heaps of alternative ways to schedule the upper/lower split.
    Just honor the two days on, OFF day, 2 days on, 2 days OFF schedule.

    In the approaching sections I’ll go into detail why
    these are among the greatest muscle groups to exercise collectively.
    As is my custom here on heydayDo, I will provide links to all the relevant
    medical and sports activities science assets, clinical research, & dietary knowledge used on this article.
    So I dug into energy & conditioning analysis,
    and this article shares the useful info & insight I found.
    This will make a big distinction in what’s one of the simplest ways for 
    you to group muscle tissue together.
    WHEN YOU’RE CHOOSING which workout cut up decide to so you probably can address all
    of your muscle groups, don’t overthink it. Consider what number of
    days every week you’re prepared to work out, and how onerous you want to push
    each muscle group. If you’ll find a way to solely commit to 2 days a week, you may pretty much
    have to go together with a Full-Body cut up. This will be sure that your muscles get enough
    rest and restoration time between workouts.
    The finest coaching cut up is decided by your physique, goals,
    and restoration capacity. These routines often give attention to fewer workouts and decrease quantity, which may
    depart gaps in muscle growth. If your goal is to maximise muscle
    hypertrophy, incorporating quite a lot of workouts and better quantity is important.

    One of the standout options of the PPL split is its flexibility.

    For these seeking to construct muscle mass, it’s
    usually best to focus on one particular muscle group per session in order to maximize intensity and ensure proper type.
    To achieve this, try alternating upper-body exercises with lower-body workouts on different days of the week.
    By working out the shoulder muscles, you’ll have the ability to strengthen and tone them to create a
    well-rounded upper-body workout. Bear In Mind to interact your shoulder muscular
    tissues for a more effective and balanced exercise when figuring out the chest muscles.

    Depending on how you split the workout routines up, it’d warrant more or less rest days.
    Squats — This is arguably the strongest compound train recognized
    apart from the deadlift. Oftentimes, an skilled
    lifter can load up heavier weights with squats than most different exercises.

    Right Here are the top reasons you must prepare using a 4-day exercise
    routine. For those who are merely looking to maintain or lose fat, a four day full
    body plan can work simply nice, so long as you 
    don’t push yourself too exhausting. Basically,
    you’d focus more on average intensity and efficient exercises.

    Warm-ups and cool-downs are beneficial for each exercise, although you’ve flexibility in selecting what to do.

    These two muscle teams are a number of the largest in your body, so working them out collectively
    might help you build strength and endurance. Plus, many workout routines that
    target the chest additionally engage the back muscles,
    so you’ll be getting a full-body workout. Another great mixture is to work out your quads and
    hamstrings together. These muscle teams are situated on the front and back of your
    legs, respectively. So, by working them out collectively,
    you’ll be succesful of evenly develop your leg muscles.

    When it comes to understanding, some folks prefer
    to focus on one muscle group at a time, whereas others prefer to mix things up.
    There are execs and cons to each approaches, but if you’re seeking to get essentially the most out of your workout,
    you could want to consider figuring out multiple muscle teams
    at once. Not only will this allow you to save time,
    however it could possibly additionally lead to higher results.

    One of one of the best mixtures is to work out your chest and again together.

    The excellent news is that there is a answer, and it’s called calisthenics or bodyweight coaching.

    With calisthenics, your physique is your fitness center, and you may work out
    nearly anywhere and anytime you wish. This removes a quantity of main barriers to exercising persistently, making it far easier to realize your health and
    fitness objectives.
    And based on Bret Contreras, a glute-training expert in Phoenix, nearly all of people neglect them.
    You can alternate your foot placement each set or dedicate one month
    to coaching the calves utilizing one foot place and then switching it.
    Instead of excited about lowering your shoulders towards the ground,
    think about driving your hips backward, which will cause them to
    hinge, says Tumminello.
    When you pair muscle teams strategically, you streamline your exercise, permitting you
    to attain extra in less time. Ultimately, listening to your physique
    and adjusting as needed is essential when figuring out how often you must
    work out every muscle group collectively. It is beneficial to work out
    each muscle group a minimum of twice per week.
    Moreover, strengthening your core can even scale back stress levels
    by releasing endorphins into your bloodstream, giving us an total sense of well-being.
    This increased blood circulate helps break down meals extra
    successfully. Lastly, the erector spinae are three lengthy columns of muscular tissues along
    either aspect of the backbone that assist help it while standing or
    lifting heavy objects.
    And actually, that’s all you need to gradually construct the strength and muscle
    you actually want. Observe a program intently for 4-12 weeks so
    you presumably can actually make progress, but after that training cycle is up, change up your routine.
    For most people, the point of diminishing returns is around
    eight weeks, so to avoid that, you want to use periodization. Conversely, if
    the plan we’ve for you involves too much volume, you’ll have
    the ability to adjust by making it three units as a
    substitute of 4, or 2 units as a substitute of three,
    then you’ll have the ability to progress by including units to the workouts.

    For instance, a Bro Break Up typically includes high quantity for each muscle group as quickly as per week.

    Squats and lunges are also good ways of engaging the decrease physique.

    The American Council on Train advises on working out lateral raises, overhead presses
    and entrance raises to sculpt and strengthen your shoulders.
    Nonetheless others say there’s no such factor as the most effective muscle group combinations to
    exercise collectively. As An Alternative, your resistance training workouts ought
    to revolve round a single exercise, such because the squat, bench
    press, or deadlift. Embarking on a fitness journey demands sensible decisions, especially with muscle group combinations.

    Working out the best muscles collectively can unleash sudden power positive aspects and
    transformative outcomes.
    So, if you’re only able to hit the health club a few times every week, this is a nice routine for you.
    In action, that means you will be utilizing 6-8RM weights early
    on, and 10-12RMs later, that means the latter workout routines are using relatively lighter loads.

    Five-day splits give you the possibility to launch a full-scale assault on a goal muscle by maximizing quantity and exercises for advanced-level
    growth. Supersets involve performing two workouts back-to-back with minimal
    rest, typically for opposing muscle groups.
    Incorporate the workout routines for every muscle group we’ve listed above as a tenet to
    attain specific exercise objectives. This is especially true if you’re coaching onerous and close to failure.
    One Other issue that can influence how many workout routines per muscle
    group you do is your objective. Focusing on correct form, depth,
    and development in your workouts is very important.
    There’s a steadiness available between what’s effective and what you’ll have the
    ability to adequately get well from. Add into that the want to truly put a time restrict on your workout and also you realise the appropriate
    quantity of coaching quantity is a mix of multiple components.
    Under is an instance of how you can mix your muscle teams depending on what number of instances you propose to make use of weights through the week.
    This is effective as a result of all these muscle teams work
    collectively. When you’re doing chest, your shoulders and triceps are working.
    On compound shoulder movements, your higher chest and triceps will
    be engaged.
    It’s been practiced for as lengthy as people have been figuring out and is as related today because it was
    in historical Greece. If you’re feeling you are overtraining, you have to take a relaxation from lifting.

    Even advanced trainees will expertise overtraining, as life-style
    modifications can creep up on you.
    Combining leg and shoulder exercises is a strategic
    strategy to attaining total energy and stability. “Leg exercises like squats and lunges engage massive muscle teams, whereas shoulder workouts, corresponding to overhead presses and lateral raises concentrate on the deltoid muscle tissue”, added Arora.
    This pairing permits you to optimise your workout by alternating between lower and upper physique workouts, offering stability and stopping fatigue in particular muscle teams.
    Yes, 20 minute full body workouts could be efficient
    if they’re done with the best intensity and frequency.

    This type of routine is great for individuals who have limited time however still want to get in a great exercise.
    Just make certain to include workout routines that target all main muscle teams and focus on compound actions.

    Yes, a full body weight training program can get you ripped so lengthy as they’re done with correct
    depth and frequency.
    Whereas your biceps get a fair proportion of labor
    from pull workouts on your back, most individuals still
    need to work them directly for optimum outcomes.
    While the leg curl focuses on the hamstrings by bending the
    knee, the Romanian deadlift works them by extending the hip.

    Combining both actions in your routine ensures optimal hamstring development.

    Perform three units with 10–12 reps every earlier than transferring on to the subsequent exercise.
    If dips don’t agree with you, be at liberty to do the close-grip bench
    press as an alternative.
