MUSIC WHILE TRAINING

I decided to do my full body workout tomorrow instead, and use this sunny Friday for restitution. Because of that, I don`t have a great deal to write about today. But what I do have, is a list of motivating music that I would really like to share with you!
These are some of my personal favourits. It`s not like the top 10 that I did last time around. I figured out that I can`t compare these songs up to one another.
Bellow you will see the songs, and that they lean more towards house, techno and hardstyle then to the usual rock and hip that I have the impression many people listen to during their workouts. (I find motivation through bass)

If you have ideas for good workout music, especially rock and hip hop, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you for stopping by for this one. I will keep you updated on my full body bodyweight workout for tomorrow. Until then, see you later.

Rest is earned

ARMS AND CORE

It hit me today, as I was doing my workout outside, that I am no longer shy of someone noticing me while I’m outside training. Just three weeks ago it felt awkward. But I guess I got used to it. Also, I am just training in my backyard, so the only people to notice me is my neighbors .. But this is a great way to build up confidence until I feel ready to use objects available for me in the street.

THE CORE WORKOUT MAKES UP FOR IT

Yesterday I tried to find some of the best exercises for back and shoulders, if you, like me, don`t have access to a chinup bar. I searched the internett, I contacted people who is experienced with street workout and calisthenics. One of the exercises that came up was called L-sit. I wrote it down in my program of the day. If you feel like the routines on back and shoulders isnt tough enough (cause I wasnt satisfied), I can promise you that the core section of the program won`t disappoint.

Spiderman – 1 minute
Downward dog pushups – 10 reps
Wallslide – 1 minute
x3

Back:

That was my program for Thursday. I promise I will find us more bodyweight exercises for back and shoulders for next time! Though I hope it will do some wonders for you. I know the core routine will.
