Upper body training is easy to skip because it isn’t as “fun” as other muscle groups,
but there’s something about upper body strength that infectiously translates into inner strength,
so don’t forget to get in upper body work!

Workout Wednesday Tip: Looking for some push up tips? Push ups and pull ups are two staple exercises that many women aim to improve. I suggest devising a plan to increase strength for these exercises that actually don’t involve either of those two exercises. Let’s take the push up for today’s example. When you’re looking to improve your strength and performance on a particular exercise, it’s wise to work on movements that target the muscle groups needed to execute that exercise. So, in our example, I suggest incorporating exercises like the bench press, dumbbell/cable flyes, dumbbell chest press, and cable cross overs; additionally, secondary muscles such as the triceps and shoulders aid in performing a push up, so movements like push downs, extensions, presses and side raises will also be beneficial.
Day 25 Challenge: (( PUSH UP )) Challenge yourself to complete a push up personal record! Go until you cannot complete another rep without sacrificing form! Remember, it’s a YOU vs YOU competition, so share you progress with the #LGAccountability community!

Lauren,
One thing that would be really helpful is if you can add an estimated time duration to your workouts. This way we can choose a workout according to how much time we have and we don't get started with something that we don't have time to finish. Let us know right off the bat a modest estimate or how long a workout might take.
Just an idea! Thanks for your consideration!
HI Victoria! Good idea! Typically all my workouts take between 35-45 minutes. A big part of how long someone's workout is depends on the length of rests they take (the time in between sets). If you shorten the rests, it's a great way to speed up a workout…just in case you're ever short on time!
