Hello all!
I’m new here and I am interested to know what you think about my 8 weeks workout plan!
first I’d like to say that I have been playing hockey for 25 years now and I am used to working out.
Unfortunately I ripped my groin two years ago and got diagnosed with a herniated cervical last year, so no luck for me! Haven’t really been able to work out for about a year and a half!
First of January I decided to cut the sh*t and get back in shape!
Stopped drinking and ate better.
I started running 5km 5x a week with about 45mins of strength training. On top of that I had two practices and 1-2 games.
Now that season is over, I told myself I would like to challenge it even more before summer comes! Get lean and get more muscle. Just a heads up, I wanna focus on my legs/shoulders and arms and I am planning on cutting the cardio down after 4 weeks.
Here is what I have been doing for the last 2 weeks and planning on continuing it as far as I can!
Thank you already for your answers and your input!
