Anything Boys Can Do ... - A workout for the Ferocious Male Readers!


Hello to all my friends!

I have recently seen that, I not only have foxy ladies reading and following along with my blog but, I have some ferocious male followers as well. For this post I am going to be doing something a little different. I want to make this blog about the boys! I’m giving you, gentlemen, a shout-out and a big, foxy thank you!

I’m going to show you guys a 6 step, full-body blasting routine that will be sure to make you sweat!
Are you ready boys?
Let’s go!

1.     Shoulders
Pull-ups
2 sets of 25 reps

2.     Triceps
Tricep Pushups
2 sets of 25 reps
Step 1 – get into a plank position and move hands close together so that they are in the shape of a diamond
Step 2 – do push up as you would with normal posture

3.     Biceps
Maximum Barbell Bicep Curl
3 sets of 6 reps
Step 1 – add your maximum weight onto the bar bell (you should be struggling to do your last two so don’t be afraid to add on the weight!)
Step 2 – stand with your feet shoulder width apart and hold the barbell shoulder width and your arms straight down
Step 3 – bending at the elbows, bring the barbell up with a count of 3 and back down to the starting position for a count of 3

4.     Chest
Chest Dip
2 sets of 25 reps
Step 1 – Grasp the dip bar at the widest part, arms fully extended, lean forward and keep legs crossed behind you at the ankles
Step 2 – lower yourself until your arms are bent to 90 degrees
Step 3 – Push back up to starting position and squeeze chest muscles at the top of the movement

5.     Back
Yates Row
4 sets of 10 reps
Step 1 – grab a barbell a bit more than shoulder with apart, knees at about 25 degrees to keep strain off of the lower back, and bend at the waist about 20 degrees – back straight, chest out
Step 2 – you can do an underhand or an overhand grip – whichever you are most comfortable with
Step 3 – pull the bar towards your waist. You are not pulling it up to your ribs but more up and down towards your waist. Lower it back into starting position

6.     Legs
Box Jump
3 sets of 30 reps
Step 1 – stand in front of a box, a bench, or a chair that won’t move
Step 2 – Jump up onto the box with both feet moving at the same time and jump right back off

I know that there are a lot of men out there that want to bulk up and gain weight and they think that by staying away from the cardio, they are doing a good thing. I want to let all you ‘bulkers’ out there that cardio is just as important to you as the person who is trying to shed the pounds. Amongst your bulking up workouts, you should do about 20 – 45 minutes of cardio 2 days a week. By investing some time into cardio work you are increasing your strength and endurance, and improving bone health and your body’s ability to use and take in oxygen.

Well boys, there you have it! I hope that you guys give it a try and can really feel the burn. Make sure that if this is too easy for you, that you either up your weights or add on some extra reps. Do not be afraid of the weight and be sure to switch up your routines and weights on a regular basis! You ferocious male readers simply rock! I hope that you are able to take my posts and use them just like my foxy ladies are doing. Keep reading and sharing!

And to my ever faithful, foxy felines – Do not be afraid to give this workout a try! Just because this is ‘for the boys’ doesn’t mean you can’t conquer this workout just like they can! I bet you’d be surprised just how strong you really are. Give it a shot workout queens!

From one fab fox to another,
Stay fit, stay physical, and stay foxy and FEROUCIOS!
