Definition Cycle Has Begun

I am making definition and aerobic condition my main concern for the summer. I will make bodybuilding at least 2, 3 times per week but also some cardio workout in the middle, by running and make some rope jumps. I will try body pump soon to help increase my body definition and I am going to also try the body combat classes on my gym.

The bodybuilding routine are going to have basic exercises but the weight will be slower and repetitions will be higher.

Today I wen to the gym in the morning and I trained Chest, Shoulders, Biceps and Calf:

.Inclined Bench Press

.Dips

.Dumbbell Lateral Raises

.Dumbbell Bicep Curl

.Calf Raises.

The rep range was between 10-15 with a maximum weight effort of 75%-85%. I think I trained some how heavy for the purpose of the workout, I have to correct this. Tomorrow morning will be training my legs and forearms.

July and Summer

June Recap
Well, I went on professional holidays last month and I did not exercise as much as I should. It seems that when you have a established routine on weekdays, you are more organized and despite the less time you have, you always have time to make exercise a priority. When on holidays, you have more free time and do whatever you want but less organized, well in my personal case I was less organized in some ways that I did not exercise at all.

Cardio Workouts
Now back to business, I changed my cardio workouts by adding a new element, this element is the rope. Believe me, it makes a hell of a difference on your cardio workouts if you can train wisely. I increased my intensity in some ways, so my aerobic condition is better.

How do I do?
I mix both running and rope, I start with 15 minutes of running with some intensity by doing some power jogging. Then I start the rope jumping and do some 3 sets of 1 minute each, of course this is not write in stone, sometimes I may do one more set or less, and it's hard, really I am not in my best (rope jumping) shape so I feel the toughness each time I jump.
After that I restart my running and if I feel more need to jump with rope after at least more 10 minutes of jogging or power jogging I stop and do some rope jumps again.
I end with a light run to calm down, relax and stretch the legs.

What I am looking for with this change?
Increase my aerobic condition and more body definition. I also think that the anaerobic condition will increase in some way due to some intensity on one of the rope jumps sets.

Bodybuilding
Well, my bodybuilding training was very light on June and I also decided to begin training on a gym near my house, the distance is 15 minutes by walking, 6 minutes by running or 1/2 minutes by driving a car. So I choose to walk or run to the gym so I can warm-up. I am going to begin tomorrow and this new gym besides being closer to my home has more bodybuilding weights and machines but more important, I can now do some free squats!

Squats
Squat is a brutal exercise very effective, dangerous if you do not master the technique and there a few people who really like to squat. Most of the people like to train the chest and arms, specially the biceps. To become stronger you have to squat, the compound exercises are the most effective. Regarding to this is very important to remember that technique comes first and the weight that you are lifting comes after.

Anyway, for now that's all. I am not having any comments on these posts, if anyone have any suggestions if I should change something please comment here, thanks.
