What Is Your Workout Routine?

Building Muscle
5 day workout routine by Siera Capesius
A very common question I am asked is, “What is your workout routine?” Well, I have a 5-day work routine with two rest days throughout the week. My main fitness goals are to maintain my muscle while still having a lower body fat percentage. I lift to improve and maintain my lower body tone two times a week, followed by one upper body workout. My cardio consists of circuit training and cycling. These exercises are what my body responds best to and they fit my fitness goals.
