What should you do in the gym?

April 13, 2016 By Ashley 45 Comments

How many times have you asked yourself that question? If you’re not scheduled for a group fitness class, then it’s pretty much up to you to decide for yourself how to move, if you’re heading to the gym. Here are some questions you should ask yourself …

  • When was the last time you lifted weights? If it was just the previous day, then maybe you are due for a HIIT cardio session with some stretching instead of weightlifting.
  • Have you been doing a lot of hard workouts lately? If so, then maybe you should have a lighter day of incline walking with some stretching. (Why? Read this to see why every workout doesn’t have to be hard.)
  • Is your workout slate pretty clean? If so, then maybe today is a good day to do a full-body resistance session. And if that’s the case, you need a plan.

What should you do in the gym Via A Lady Goes West

After many years as a fitness person — both an informed one and a newbie — I am well aware that having a plan is a necessity. If I’m not teaching Les Mills BODYATTACK or BODYPUMP, then I’m probably doing a solo session, and I always go in with the exact same loose plan. Here’s how I do it …

Warm-up.

  • Foam rolling for a few minutes. Get the quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes and upper back with some fairly quick rolling along the muscle to get it ready.
  • Dynamic movement for a few minutes. Do some plank walk-outs, arm circles and maybe even light bodyweight lunges to get loose.
  • Step it out. You will often find me power-walking on the treadmill at a high incline with my arms pumping. I start almost all resistance sessions with a 5-10 minute warm-up of fast incline walking, because boy, it works to get your body and mind ready. Try moving at 4.0 MPH with a 5-8 percent incline, and don’t hold on.

The work.

  • Full-body work is the way to go to burn big calories. While doing split days and isolating your muscle groups is excellent for building physique, it’s really only a good option for those who plan to lift weights each day. If you’ve only got a few days a week to do resistance, then go with full body.
  • My workouts almost always includes some form of squats, deadlifts, chest presses, rows and core work. I always take time to use dumbbells and a bench, and sometimes utilize the pulling machines, Roman chair or back extension contraption.
  • Reps matter. I either do four sets of eight reps. Or three sets of 10-12 reps, depending on the weight. The heavier the weight, the less reps, of course. It’s great to vary this as well throughout the week.
  • Circuits. I also like to do no more than four different kind of moves in a set to get a good cadence, then I do a second “circuit” if you will, which can include another two-to-three moves. Two circuits is plenty for a session, and I usually spend no more than 30 minutes total on the weightlifting portion.
  • Here are some workouts you can follow for ideas: A busy girl’s three-move total-body dumbbell workout, 20-minute total-body dumbbell workout and A short-on-time dumbbell workout.

The Stretch.

  • I finish every workout with about two-to-four minutes of stretching and foam rolling again. I usually try to put my legs up one at a time on a box for a nice hamstring stretch. Then I grab a band to help release the upper-body. When all is said and done, the cool-down and stretching portion at the end of my workout is usually shorter than it should be, but it always gets at least a couple of minutes.

Hydrate and recover.

  • After the workout, it’s either time for breakfast or a protein shake and always a lot of water.

The moral of the story? Have a plan when you hit the gym, so you don’t waste any time, and make sure your plan has a few of these elements mentioned above. When in doubt — Warm up. Work. Cool down. Use the foam roller and drink plenty of water. And if you’re having problems with motivation, a new playlist or a new workout top can do wonders!

    Having a plan is so important! I typically workout from home and have a little notebook where I’ve written down my favorite circuits. I prefer to use dumbbells. I really want a kettlebell set though to try to start incorporating some different moves into my strength training.

      These are such great tips Ashley!! Even though I typically walk into the gym with a plan, I’m totally saving this post because your circuit workouts are so perfect for me! Thanks so much for sharing!

      And I totally fall victim to making most of my workouts really tough. I definitely agree that lighter workouts are important and my goal is to start incorporating them more in my routine.

      Have a fabulous day!!

    I’m all about having a plan and can’t imagine trying to tackle a workout without having it planned out on my phone – notes is my best friend! I always make sure to do a proper warm up and cool down/stretch with my workout sandwiched in there. I love full body workouts with a bit of cardio sprinkled in and my favorite pieces of equipment are kettlebells and the Bosu.

    If i’m not motivated to come up with a workout or I’m stumped on what to do I like to do Fitnessglo videos (it’s great because their website tracks how much cardio, strength & stretching you do in that week so you can see what’s missing) or I’ll do a quick search on Youtube.

    This is something I totally struggle with – I actually HAVE to write my weekly workout plan (including circuits, cardio and classes) on a blank sheet of paper every Sunday and leave it on the kitchen table….otherwise, I will a) lose motivation and b) get gym confusion!! When I do find myself without it, I have to do some hard thinking. Very helpful tips above!! 🙂

    Love this! I’m just getting used to our “big box” gym down the street, whereas I used to have my work gym that was essentially empty 24/7. Understanding that other people may be using the equipment I’m interested in means that I’ll likely be leaning on dumb bells a lot more often than usual. I’ll try one of your workouts today!

    Thanks for sharing. 🙂

    I have serious “gymtimidation,” so I struggle with this even though I have a pretty good sense of how my body works and how to work certain muscles.
    I am drawn to group fitness as a result, but since my time is so limited (FT working mom) and I can only attend classes twice a week, I need to take this advice and get over my gym anxiety. I think I’ll check out some of the example workouts you’ve included!

    I currently do a a circuit on Mondays and Tuesday – Friday I take various cardio/strength/pilates classes in my work place gym. I typically take either Saturday or Sunday off and do a mix of Popilates or wight training on the other day.

    Hope the (not so new) job is going well 🙂 . Does Rudy miss you ?

    love this reminder! i have been pretty good about making a weekly plan the past 2 years , and following it, or adjusting so i get most of it in during the week!
    and since about the fall of ’14, i have had a really good warm up routine that i love! jog, stretch, a bit of dynamic stretch, and dynamic movements, it’s probably my favorite part of my WO! hah. (except squats and deadlifts on those days 😉 ) but i usuallly run out of time to stretch after, i know it is neccessary and so freustrating!!

    also- i’d love to see what a full body circuit workout is like for you! are they the same when you do them during the week or varied? i’m asking because i feel like you’ve only posted quick WOs when you dont have much time- but i’d love to see what a full WO is like 🙂

    I haven’t really tried going to the gym, but we do have our own gym at home. It’s more convenient because I don’t have to go out of our house and travel just to do my workout. Once I get up in the morning, I can easily go to our gym which is beside my room, and do my routine. The downside of having a gym in our house is, building a consistent routine. I tend to be more lazy and I don’t see a lot of people doing their best to get fit and healthy. Since my family members, just do exercise when they feel like to. Thanks for sharing this post. I think It’s better to go to an outdoor gym and practice consistency. This way, I can maximize our own gym and be more consistent at home. By the way, Is it always better to have a trainer at first?

      Hi Joe! It’s VERY helpful to work with a trainer when you are starting a fitness routine to get some tips, but it’s not a total necessity. You just have to be careful to read HOW-TOs to practice your form and look in the mirror, which is the best way to prevent injuries. Home or gym workouts are fine, as long as you are consistent and motivated. Good luck to you!

Exactly twelve years ago today, I spotted Dave acr Exactly twelve years ago today, I spotted Dave across the bar in Orlando and decided to chat him up. And really, the rest is history, and boy am I glad I made that decision that day. We celebrated today by retrieving our cars that finally made it across the country and returning our rental car. Here’s to making the first move, because sometimes it totally pays off! ❤️
Hi, I'm Ashley Pitt, formerly Ashley Pinder, or AP Hi, I'm Ashley Pitt, formerly Ashley Pinder, or APin or APinder, as my friends used to call me. It's been a long time since I introduced myself here on IG. And even though most of you know a lot about me, some of you don't. So here's a quick download (paired with a sequence of photos that took place yesterday):

-I was born and raised in Florida, I spent the last eight years in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, and I just moved with my little family to Charlotte, North Carolina one week ago.
-I've been a fitness instructor for 11 years, and I started out teaching Les Mills BODYPUMP as a side hobby while I held down a job at a public relations agency in Orlando. By the way, I never imagined I'd leave the corporate world behind, but I'm so glad I did. And now I work for myself with fitness, blogging and Beautycounter as my full-time gigs, in addition to momming, of course.
-I haven't taught an in-person fitness class in 10 months, but I teach virtual classes every week, and I absolutely love it. Send me a DM if you want to work out with me!
-Yes, I'm a mom. But I had a hard time getting pregnant while struggling with hypothalamic amenorrhea. With a few lifestyle changes, I was able to recover, and because of that experience, I've adopted a "no extremes" motto when it comes to food and exercise. Now I have one 3-year-old curly-haired son named Brady, and I have a small fluffy dog named Rudy, and they are the cutest.
-I started my blog, A Lady Goes West, more than 8 years ago, and I write new blog posts every Tuesday and Friday. If you've never read it yet, I'd love to have you come on over.
-Here on my IG profile, you can expect some real talk about wellness, mom life, moving to Charlotte, fitness and all of that good stuff. I don't track macros, I don't create fancy recipes, and I don't do anything D-I-Y, but I still hope to connect with you and add some positive value to your feed. Thanks for being here!
Greetings from Charlotte, North Carolina! We’re Greetings from Charlotte, North Carolina! We’re just finishing up day four of our moving-back-east adventure, and so far so good. Although the planner in me does look forward to some more certainty, we’re enjoying the fun of this transitional time as we look for a house and find our way in a new city. It definitely feels like we are just temporary visitors right now, which is a feeling I felt when we first landed in San Francisco. But that’s just part of the beauty of moving. And by the way, you’ll see me repeating clothes for a bit until our stuff makes its cross-country arrival, so let me introduce you to this outfit:

-Leggings are @caliabycarrie
-Shoes are @drschollsshoes
-Shades are @vincecamuto

Peace out, California. This lady who went west is Peace out, California. This lady who went west is officially heading back east. Today, we closed on the sale of our home, the movers drove off with our stuff, and we ended an 8-year-and-3-month adventure in the San Francisco Bay Area. What a ride it has been, full of amazing moments, great memories, tough situations, so much learning and even more growing into who we are today. We’re heading to North Carolina with clear eyes and full hearts — so you know what that means.

By the way, I wrote a post about my best memories from the last eight years, which is on A Lady Goes West right now, if you want to check it out! See you soon from the Eastern time zone!
So many things were tough for us in 2020, but boy So many things were tough for us in 2020, but boy am I glad we went through it all together. The highlight of the year was - by far - time spent with my little family. And we’re looking ahead to the big changes we have in store, with one-way tickets booked out of California next week. Happy New Year, friends! Here’s to change in 2021! 🎉🥂😍
Hands up in the air if you’re ready for a new ye Hands up in the air if you’re ready for a new year? While we know things don’t drastically change just because the date says 2021 instead of 2020, there is some power in possessing a more positive mindset and having your eyes wide open for more good ahead so you can accept it as it comes.
