Feeling chesty

 Today was all about the chest and my husband.
I love going to the gym with my husband because he always pushes me to my maximum limits.
Today we focused and chest with a workout that looked like this 

15 min warm up on arc trainer

Bench press 4 sets of 10 reps
Superset with 10 burpees

Seated decline press 3 sets of 12 reps

Seated incline press 3 sets of 12 reps

After these exercises we went over to the cables and did different chest exercises with  cables, here are a few of the variations we did

1 set of 12 reps for every different variation 




Finally finished off with this machine

3 sets of 12 reps

Have a good rest of your hump day!

Ps. Sorry for the overload of photos, it's a rarity to have my photographer(husband) with me.
AND sorry for the horrendous faces mid exercise...I don't go to the gym to look pretty :)

The weather is absolutely perfect today. I will take sunny and 70s anytime of the year. This gorgeous weather called for a little stroll with our fluff ball








OH almost forgot to mention, Happy national pancake day!! Husband and I are heading to snag some free pancakes at IHOP...I mean it's the only logical thing to do on such a wonderful holiday ;)

This book

I absolutely adore my days off because my mornings get to look like this...









This book has been my newest obsession. I absolutely love the insight it has given me to the most important book of all.

This bottom paragraph really stood out to me today because so many times I catch myself reading the bible then walking away and not applying one thing I've read at all. Just like this book says I need to retain it, possess it and claim it as MINE. One of the 2386364537 things I need to work on in my life :) I am loving theses little reminders and hope you enjoyed it too!
